Stuff I Love

There are so many things I love. Shiny things, book things, my Keurig coffee maker. My fake Uggs, flip flops, my new Reeboks that are going to make my boobs jealous of my butt (the commercial says so). I love to surf the net, and sometimes I find really cool stuff. I'm making a list of stuff I love. Just a sample, the entire list would be way too long and boring.



1. Amazon.com is the coolest website. I used to love Amazon because it sells books, and I absolutely love books. I love to read, and I love getting free shipping when I spend $25. Then they started adding really cool features like the, "Shoppers who bought (whatever book you're looking at) also bought..." and I could get lost while clicking through the connections linking books to books other people bought. Listmania came next, and how cool is that? Anyone can make a list, of anything they want. So if I'm looking at yet another book about King Henry VIII I may see a list titled, "Rad books about King Henry" or "Not-to-be-missed books about the Tudors" and I can look at lists that other people have created. I love lists. Other people's lists, my lists, doesn't much matter.



Now Amazon is even cooler because it sells everything. Not just books and music. Everything. There are Amazon stores, toys, clothing, shoes, I mean - everything. You name it, you can probably find it on amazon. I need a food scale and toothpaste and a backscratcher - I can find them all on amazon.com. It really doesn't get better than that.



2. Fred and Friends. How cool is their stuff? I got my sister the M-cups, a set of measuring cups that are Matroyshka dolls. She loves Matroyshka dolls and has a huge collection of them. So when I saw measuring cups that are shaped like the cute nesting dolls, I had to get them for her. Now they are totally sold out everywhere and it was like a coup to have gotten them. Which makes them ever cooler. While looking for them (my mom wants a set too) I noticed how cool other Fred and Friends products are. I highly recommed looking at their stuff online. Very whimsical stuff, but a lot of the items are quite practical. And fun.

3. I know I'm a little late to the game with this one but I love my digital picture frame. My parents gave it to us for Chaunkah. It accepts any time of memory card or flashdrive and it's incredibly easy. It's a new type, and it displays three or four pictures at once in a mosaic format. It makes me wonder why I even need other picture frames. They seem so lame with the one, un-changing picture in them. I make fun of my kids because their narcissistic streak is showing as they gaze at the pictures of themselves. They are so excited to see themselves in the pictures and laugh uproariously when a picture of one of them changes into a picture of someone else, or for real hilarity, into one of the dogs. But I can sit there and watch it for long stretches of time too, so I know where they are coming from.

4. I love, love, love my iTouch. I'm notoriously anti-Apple products. And I had an mp3 player that I loved. When my dad got his iPhone I bothered him about giving me his iTouch until he did it (he's good that way). At first I hated iTunes and I still think Windows Media Player is much better. The kids love the iTouch - they love the touchscreen and the games and all that. I love how small it is, and how much music I can have on it. It makes driving in the car much more fun; I love to sing in the car. It makes working out so much better. And I can store photos and games and information on it - it's really the coolest thing. Thanks Dad!
