**waves not alot going on here since I wrote last! Just basically been sitting around watching netflix (thanks playstation store for being down so I can't do Hulu Plus yet) and enjoying the dsl. We have decided to get the faster internet that is 5 bucks more a month and it should be here wed! One of my new things is hunting for days of our lives old clips & video montages that people have made and watching them. You know. Like I don't procrastinate writing reviews and cleaning and the likes enough as it is! Today we went to my mom & dad's for a cookout. it was pretty chill, and nothing to really write about since it was just my parents and me & david.. I did upload a few videos from my flip cam of sam yesterday, to youtube..if you wanna check those out. my link to my youtube is over on the sidebar. I hope to make more videos since i'll be able to actually upload them now! This is a fairly dull post I realize but I felt the need to write something to … [Read more...]

DSL!! its..h-e-r-e
I wave and jump and down and shout to everyone that I now have my DSL!! :) It came a day early :) the only thing that really bites is this whole ps3 crap..we can't access the store and/or get hulu going :( They actually called yesterday while i was at my moms, and I didn't answer. We get so many annoying calls on my primary line i don't even answer 800 numbers! I got to thinking this morning that it might have been them so I called and it was. Then I was reading the set up instructions and realized I would need an account # to set up the service which I didn't have.. You will just ADORE this next part, I assure you. I call to find out the account # and it sounds VERY familar to me (it was a phone #) The only time I ever had home phone was with them when we lived at the apt accross..I hunted high and low to figure out if in fact they had mistakenly gave me my old phone #. About 2 hours later i get a ups 2 day express pkg with ..you got it.. a totally different #! I can imagine … [Read more...]
[review] Flip Flop Wines Pinot Grigio and Riesling
FlipFlop wines…doesn’t that just sound like the most adorable and summery type name for a wine company? (Oh, and yes there is a new nichole word. I know you all simply adore my “fallish” word that I used back in the fall, so I came up with “summery” ) FlipFlop wines not only has a cute & summery name, but they have a very awesome mission! They donate a pair of shoes to someone in need for every bottle that is sold! They are partnered with soles4souls.org. Personally, If I can help someone out by doing something as simple and buying a bottle of their wine, I am all for it!(because you all know i'm going to be buying wine anyways, might as well support a good cause while i'm at it!) The Flip Flop Wines come in 7 varieties which include: Flipflop Chardonnay Flipflop Riesling Flipflop Pinot Grigio Flipflop Moscato Flipflop Cabernet Sauvignon Flipflop Merlot Flipflop Pinot Noir For this review I got to try the Pinot Grigio and Riesling varieties. Now, I’m … [Read more...]
my weekend..
First of all I made a tumblr. correction. I have had a tumblr for a while, just never used it. Anyways, I'm not sure if i'm gonna use or how, but i'm trying to figure it all out. if you'd like to add me as a friend it's http://xxpollypocket.tumblr.com Lets see, this weekend was fairly boring! Thursday we went to best buy to try to find something to charge up that battery on the Evo, which they didn't have ... you can actually buy a 6 buck fix on amazon, but it totally isn't worth it to me, because I still wouldn't be able to hook it to the computer to tether the internet. We brough Alex (my bro in law) over to spend the night. I was pretty bored! Thankfully though david got the samsung intercept to tether like i mentioned before. Friday we decided we have honestly had enough of the whole phone & service sittuation and I ended up cancelling. I hate that I had to because either way i'm gonna loose 200 bucks, + the fact I had to buy another phone, but honestly sometimes you … [Read more...]
we have a new ps3
Hi!! Lets see whats been going on with me? Monday we went to eat at olive garden for davids birthday. we then went to best buy and david decided he wanted an ipod (again lol). I ended up letting him have the iphone jason gave me, so we ended up taking that back yesterday! Jenn wrote a blog the other day and mentioned a $100 off playstation 3 coupon from gamestop. Turns out my brother in law actually had one and for some reason hadn't mentioned it, even though he knew we had been wanting to get one... Anyways, we ended up going to get one last night. It was quite the fiasco because the coupon code we wrote down wouldn't work and we couldn't get into alex's email to get the code. I kept thinking it was his password but it turned out he wasn't giving me his full email address lol..omg it was a mess! we were out in the cold rain trying to figure it out. We finally got into his powerrewards account and got it all to work! There hasn't really been too much going on with me the … [Read more...]
