There’s a pretty sweet deal on the best tv show ever, Sex In The City, at Costco for $140. I am very tempted to get this but my roommate already has it so I don’t know!

You input a website you want to view and it outputs it into a Microsoft Word type document so it looks like you are working lol. Try it with my website! :)

If you have a Discover Card you should definitely get in on this deal since the holidays are coming up. Discover Card is doing a promotion where if you spend $200 at a participating mall you can receive a $20 gift card. Click here for the details.

I guess I’ll be doing my xmas shopping at Del Amo Mall this year :P

I’m really into stocks nowadays. I’m not actively trading but for a few stocks (APPLE!!!) but I like reading and learning more about it. It seems like a great avenue to earn more money if you have some extra money laying around and are willing to take a gamble. I’m not ready to jump full on into it as I just don’t have time to do as much research as I feel is necessary to really get into the stock trading business.

Anyways, I just found this interesting blog where a guy is trying to turn 20K into 1 Mil. He just started this year and seems to be doing ok…at least he is still in the positive. It will be interesting to track his progess to see if and when he does get to 1 Million.

After much thought, I’ve decided that I’m going to find a new web host for girlrobot.net. Originally, I thought I was just going to transfer the primary domain name from jumpintheocean.com to girlrobot.net and everything would be dandy but somewhere along the line I got confused about this process and I think it’s just better if I move to somewhere more permanent and has better reviews so I won’t have to worry about this in the future. My current host is hostingplex which I have no complaints about although they are a bit slow with their support.

After much researching, I think I’ve decided on jetnethosting. They seem to have solid reviews and cheap pricing. I’m going to try and talk to their reps and see how their domain transfer is and if they allow upgrades easily so in case I need more bandwidth in the future. I was also thinking of going with asmallorange web hosting which seems to have outstanding reviews as well but costs slightly more. I found a coupon for jetnethosting for 50% off for the life of the domain which makes the cost of hosting for me super cheap! I hope they still take the coupon!

Anyways, does anybody have any web hosting suggestions before I sign my life away to jetnethosting?

Oh no!!!! I guess I should know better than to think any hollywood couple is going to last but I just found out my faves Reese Witherspoon and hottie Ryan Phillippe have split. :( They have the most adorable kids too! Grrrr. When I get home I will put up pics.

Prep Time:15 min
Start to Finish:15 min
Makes:6 servings

Spicy Pumpkin Pancakes

Maple-Pecan Syrup
1 cup maple-flavored syrup
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Pancakes
2 1/3 cups Original Bisquick® mix
1/3 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 eggs

1. In 1-quart saucepan, heat syrup and butter until butter is melted, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in pecans.
2. Heat griddle or skillet over medium heat or to 375°F. Grease griddle with vegetable oil if necessary. In medium bowl, stir all pancake ingredients until well blended. For each pancake, pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter onto hot griddle.
3. Cook until edges are dry. Turn; cook other sides until golden brown. Serve with syrup.

Special Touch
Add flavor and texture to these seasonal pancakes by stirring about 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts into the batter.

Substitution
If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can use 1/4 teaspoon each of ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and ground ginger instead.
