Cows On the Couch

Yes! i love bags – any kind of bags – but more towards the tote type – thus, the spouse calls me the bag lady – I just love collecting them.  I chance upon this Emma Bridgewater Tote from Chapters – and found it really cute !  alas, it had only one color and that is black and white – and we all know how easily white can change into a dirty color – so i am not buying this for $14.99 – I shall find something darker – now that would be great for me – but not just black though.  Yes, happiness is definitely a cup of coffee and a really good book – what about you?

If you kids are as creative as mine – you need to get this playhouse from Moma for them – because they are actually cardboard pieces that your kids can mix and match and make themselves a playhouse that they like.   For $19.99 – this must be one of the cheapest thing you can get from Moma – hahah!  not many people can afford stuff from them – because they do carry some quality stuff.

At $80 – I think I can afford something arty farty at my home – this month – from MoMa – check this unique looking clock out.  This is a Walter Wayle II Clock and it only wears 2 wing link hands and when mounted it will turn.   I want this at my spouse’s office too – I think it would definitely make him look pretty cool.

And there is one in the family – haha!  This christmas – we are not buying him any beer or rum – we are getting him these wonderful smelling soap of Whisky Sour, Spiced Rum or Gin Tonic at only $5.  Yes ! and a scent that he cannot refused too. Scented with the sun kissed blends of essential oils – I bet it would be money well spent – then getting him drunk.  No more spending time thinking of great gift for the drunks in the family.

Nice packaging and you can find this on Etsy of course!

Love this movie – but it’s not as scary as I thought it would be – but not for kids that’s for sure – they will get a nightmare from it.  The only person I was familiar with was Patrick Wilson – the rest of the cast – I’m not too sure where I’ve seen them before.  But I strongly believed that there will be a sequel – because the ending wouldn’t be what you have expected.  A child goes into coma – because his spirit has left his body and gone to another world and he is trapped in it.   His father goes into a dream to get him out – and save him with the help of a spiritual woman.  Pretty exciting if you asked me.

I was looking for a portable speaker for my notebook because some of the shows I watched just isn’t loud enough for me to decipher what they are saying.  But I don’t want to pay that much nor do I want a crappy speaker – and I found the Jlab USB Laptop speakers on Amazon for $25 !  they come in a few different color – I wanna get the pink but my notebook is black in color – so it wouldn’t really look too nice.   What i liked about this speaker is – it uses your USB port – you plug it in and it’s ready to go – so even if you are on an airplane – you won’t need special wires or plug to hear your movie or whatever you are watching – but of course – you probably wouldn’t want to do it on an airplane – since you don’t want to disturb anyone right?   It is supposed to produce a crystal clear sound.  As you can see – it’s quite a flexible speaker – that you can turn it around if you want.  And with Amazon – it’s free shipping for amount of up to $25 – so this is eligible for free shipping – pretty awesome! love the free shipping.

We bought a new iPhone for the spouse for father’s day – and instead I ended up using it more than he did – so I’ve decided to change the iphone case and make it more my style instead of his – since I’m using it a lot more.

I’m torn in between getting this Belkin Shield Halo case for my iPhone 3G @ $7.99 – or a clear one – so that if the spouse wants to use it too – it would be acceptable to him.  I saw them online locally at a local canadian store – so shipping is either free – or i could order it online and pick them up at the local gadget store.  Oh and the spouse told me I could shop by phone too!  pretty cool eh.   Maybe I should get an armband for my iPhone too – for my jogging and exercises.  Oh i do love all their cases!

Gogos Crazy Bones are currently the in thing for my kid – because she had been collecting them since her summer camp last year – they were the ones who introduced it to her.   Of course, like any little toys – they are only currently in love with them – so us the parents would keep buying it for them if they liked it.  But it’s not too expensive if you compare them to other toys that they have – it’s like $1  a piece and if you compare them to some of the toys your kids asked you to buy – you won’t think they are that ex.  But if you are to collect all 80 pieces a series – it can get expensive.  But for now – we give her a piece at a time if she is good.

This is going to be the best birthday gift I am getting for my cousin – who is such an accident prone – when she is traveling on a vacation – and she goes for them at least 3 times a year.  But each time – she will have a leg injury – whether she sprain it or she would trip over something – and get it all swell up.  I kid you not – this is how bad she is with her ankles.  I saw these aircast air stirrup ankle brace and I just had to get it for her.   At $35 with free shipping!  this is for severe ankle sprains up to 3rd degree – so i read – good for those who are in recovery as well. Helps reduces swelling caused by fluid trapped in one’s body’s tissue.   It supports, protects your ankle and ready to wear immediately.  But wait a minute – my cousin is quite a big lady – I worry they don’t have her size – so I checked on their size chart and they have large ankle braces – right up to 27 cm.   So yes !  even for big people like my cousin – you can still get one for her.

Yup! watched it and loved it ! didn’t think it was going to be a good movie but it turned out that Matthew McConaughey did good in this serious movie afterall.  Playing the dirty lawyer – who would do just about anything to get his client outta trouble – I was surprised when he turned against his client – and got him arrested.   Marisa Tomei plays his ex-wife whom he is still very friendly with and even remained as friends with benefits.  Love the movie – so don’t missed it.
