this dude is a blast beat machine! (too bad he’s using those wee little strokes and sticks, HA)
anyways. just over a week now until sweet hot sunshiney fun. we got ourselves some sexy wetsuits and even got to try them out at the pool this sunday. they are TIGHT..takes a little grunting and twisting to get ’em on. however, they keep both the cold water out, and the extra helpings at christmas in. dual function!
we bought the wetsuits on the ‘net and saved like $50 a suit after taxes, exchange rate, AND shipping. I coulda bought them locally from our instructor, but bah..I can use that $50 on something else now. i think the older generations had a thing with customer loyalty – even if it meant paying more for lesser quality..and it’s something our generation lacks. I dunno – what does a person do? If you show me good services and prices, I’m inclined to come back..but I still give the competition a good look the second time around anyways. why should a friendship or previous purchase guarantee a sale? I mean, as a shopkeep, things are looking better for you if you’re competitive service-wise, price-wise, and quality-wise. I would personally be worried if friendship or convenience of location is the only reason I am in business. that’s my rant on that.
speaking of the extra helpings..I had a plan to lose some of it before we got to the dom. I aimed overly high and got a little lazy, but I’ve still dropped 7lbs. it’s easy if you just keep your head in the game and stay consistent. i’ll have to see what I can do by summer. i also have the desire to go the opposite direction and see how much beef I can pack on..but I’m really liking fitting my pants right now.
now go be sexy!

Yeah, I agree, I am a sucker for good quality at a good price. I like to support friends businesses, but when I see a better deal somewhere, or they don’t have what I want, I am inclinded to shop elsewear. Oh well, it’s survival. Who needs to spend $50 more than they have to? I look for deals on anything, but especially kids clothing! I am a sale shopper! If it’s not on sale, I don’t buy it, or if I can get it somewhere else cheaper, I do it. Am I a bad person? hell no I say!
I know you guys are going to have a great time in the Dom. Have some drinks for us, k?

cheap
if i wasn’t cheap these kids would starve. i have loyalty to low prices.
vacation, eh? good on you two! you guys must be super excited and counting down the days and minutes.
between you taking pictures of everything and ms jo jo bean being the amatuer photographer i expect to see massive online photo albums of your sunny adventures. i’ll be seriously cranky if i can’t live vicariously through you two. are there sharks in those waters? oh god, don’t tell me cuz then i’ll worry even though the risk of being eaten or mauled by one is extremely slim. actually, you better lie and say to me, ‘no, there are no sharks in those waters’ cuz i’m already thinking stressing would be a good thing to do.
now i have to go… being sexy is calling me…

Oh come on! What’s the point of consumer loyalty when we shop at Costco and Walmart? Do we really care about supporting local merchants or do we strictly go for price and convenience. I think in the case of the wet suits that there was a considerably large price difference that we would have been stupid not to. The only reason I can see shopping locally instead of online is the convenience of having your product in your hands at the time of purchase. The only thing more convenient would be if we lived in the 24th Century with Jean Luc Picard and had access to replicators to just create what we want instantly. Free and instant satisfaction – now that would be the shit.
Earl grey, hot.
On a different topic, does anyone else thing that Jean Luc was a very sexy bald man? And on the topic of baldness, I hear that Britney shaved her had because K-fed was threatening to have her hair tested for drug use. And on the topic of drug use, don’t you think a person would need to be on drugs to marry a loser like K-fed. And on the topic of losers, no just kidding. I’m done.
Oh yeah, and might I mention I also like how you’re fitting into your pants right now (_|_) Hello BUM.
