Sell your car easily?

I have to sell my car but I know nothing about how to sell a car. I did look up the value of the car and was surprised by what it said. My husband thinks I'll be lucky to get $1000 for my 1999 Toyota. He's probably right! I've thought about placing an ad in the paper, selling it on e-bay, or craigslist. Then I discovered carmax. They appraise your car & then cut you a check. You can even purchase a new or used car with them or keep the money. It sounds so easy! I am sure I could spend hrs talking to people about the best possible way to get rid of my car but I don't have the time or energy for that.

Do you really know your neighbors?

Sometimes you just need to find out more information about your neighbors. You might be able to witness their eccentricies from your window spot. Maybe you even enjoy watching them dance in their bathrobe! Well now you can find out EVEN more information about your neighbors. If nothing else, you'll get a good laugh from seeing the grammar mistakes!

Zicam to the rescue

I hate getting sick in the summertime! At least in the winter, everyone else is sick and you are already miserable because of the cold weather. Although I have an annoying cold today, I made sure to swab with Zicam! I swear by this awesome product --it really does shorten the duration of your cold!

For stainless steel and more!

For a while now, my husband has become increasingly frustrated that I keep scorching our stainless steel cookware. He realizes it's not purposeful but would like something better than the everday sponge he uses to clean the dishes. These little scrubbers are magic! Not only do they clean stainless steel, they also get rid of impossible stains on the oven burners! For only 53 cents, how can you not purchase one?

Opting out

After being burglarized, my husband and I are taking extra steps to protect ourselves. One thing we immediately did was to opt out of prescreened credit card offers. You can either register online or call the toll free number to remove yourself from the list for 5 years. I am looking forward to the day when we don't receive any credit credit offers in the mail!

Toys made in the USA

With all of the toy recalls lately, I am more and more motivated to buy toys made in the USA. I am sure my nephew when he's 3 years old would love this toy helicopter! If not, maybe I could give it to my husband?

Mega deals on mega bus

For those of you who enjoy a long bus ride, mega bus is the way to travel. You can travel REALLY cheaply to a bunch of cities. For example, if I were traveling from Chicago to Minneapolis in a couple of weeks, I would just pay $50 round trip. Not a bad deal!

Foods that help you relax & sleep

Lately, I haven't been sleeping well. I imagine it's because I have a lot on my mind and it's been really hot in our apartment. I have tried drinking warm milk before bedtime but that doesn't seem to work for me. I also avoid most forms of caffeine, except the occasional chai or chocolate.
To combat this problem, I've been reading about foods that help you relax and fall asleep. I am not sure of the scientific legitimacy of these claims but if you like these foods & need to relax, you might as well try them. Next time I'm trying to fall asleep or feeling the need to relax, I'll have to munch on some celery!
