I just found this link about a guy who tried to eat only a dollar’s worth of food a day for the month of November. At first I was excited because I like getting ideas on eating cheap but then when I read through his blog I discovered that he was able to accomplish his goal by skipping meals and eating very simply (rice and beans type food).

I can be cheap but I would NEVER skip a meal! I get too hungry and I love food too much. Anyways, the website disappointed me because he just ended up eating the same thing every day pretty much! I’m pretty sure you could eat cheaply for a month without JUST eating pb&j sandwiches and rice. I wish he had gotten a bit more creative.

Hungry For A Month Website

Here’s a website I like to read: Cheap Eats

I didn’t hear these ads but supposedly a furniture company named H.D. Buttercup ran a bunch of radio ads the day of the game telling customers that if UCLA beat SC then they would refund any customers who bought more than $2000 worth of furniture from them. I hope a lot of customers went shopping that day!!

That’s what they get for betting against UCLA.

I just found a really cool and simple tutorial on making your own sushi candles. These would be a great gift for your sushi/candle loving friends.

I love how it’s placed on one of those sushi plates with the ginger and wasabi haha.

Congrats to the UCLA Bruins for beating the SUC trojans!!!!!!!!!!! It was a very tense and exciting game but we managed to pull out a victory!!!! It’s been a long time coming. I’m so happy that we finally showed up those cocky trojans. It seems everyone was overlooking us and did not even give us a chance. The BRUINS showed them!!

BOOHOO TROJANS. NO MORE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR YOU!

I’m so proud to be a BRUIN!

Remember the Million Dollar Homepage. Well the creator, Alex Tew, is at it again. This time he plans to sell each pixel for $2 rather than $1. The catch is there will be a lottery where the random user who clicks the right advertisement will win $1 million! I think it’s a pretty interesting concept, another “gah! why didn’t I think of that” idea.

Coming soon, Pixelotto

Wow I’m completely blown away by this drawing:

It took the artist 500 hours and he did it all in MS Paint. Yes, the same program that boyrobot uses for his drawings ha ha.

This video is so cute. This baby laughs at every little noise. If you need a smile today, watch this video!

I’ve done most of my xmas shopping at Bed Bath & Beyond which sends us those 20% off coupons all of the time. And BBB accepts expired coupons so I just keep a stack of them until I need to use them. If you don’t get any you can easily buy them off of ebay for 99 cents which is totally worth it for the amount you could save. You can also do the same with numerous other coupons including Victoria’s Secret, Home Depot, Lowes, etc.

I don’t know if other moms are like this too but this is soooo MY MOM! hehe.

I got it at Aahs for $12.99 if you are interested.

Angry Asian Girl is so cute!

I found this interesting website that supposedly takes your visual dna by asking you a series of questions with picture answers to find out what gift would suit you the best.

Imagini Gift Finder

Too bad it’s catered towards the UK for now but it’s still interesting to see what kind of gifts turn up for you and it might spark up some inspiration for gifts for others! I haven’t tried that option yet but I did do the one for myself and I would say more than half of the gifts were something I would love to have and the others I wouldn’t mind having. I’m sure they pick gifts that are generic enough that most people would like anyway. It’s worth a try if you are stumped on a present.
