Couldn't wait til Wordless Wednesday .. Sorry

I have a much longer post to publish but I have to get my thoughts situated.. they're going berzerk in my mind right now. I wish I had one of those bingo ball machines... and if I spun it a couple times, all my thoughts would come out in perfect order so I didn't jump around so much when I get it all down in 'writing'.
Anyhoo, I'm babbling. So I'll leave you with this..

I love....... Red Box

Seriously, people, if you haven't already started using this thing, YOU HAVE TO!
I heard about it from my besty Renée and was apprehensive for so long because, honestly, there HAD to be a catch. But I was in Shoprite the other day and decided to check it out. I went over to the Red Box kiosk, scrolled through the movies and rented 2! Get this... Redbox rentals are really only $1 per night. If you rent it today and return it by 9 p.m. the following day, you're good. If you do have it out longer than that, each day thereafter is only $1. The fine print is that if you keep it out longer than 24 days, it's yours to keep, at which point you've obviously purchased said movie. But I can't imagine that you'd do that. So, back to my story. I went online before I went to The Shoprite and I signed up via email to receive info, offers etc. Next thing I knew, I had a promo code in my email for a FREE rental. So, when I checked out, I rented 2 movies. But it only cost me ..... You guessed it.... One Dollar!
Well, there is tax, so it was $1.07 ultimately. The weird, but great thing is that you don't even have to return the movies to the location you rented it from. I rented my movies in Blackwood and returned them to Swedesboro because it worked out better for me. So that's my Red Box endorsement folks. Oh and Nights in Rodanthe is out today, so I'm reserving mine online! Yep, you can do that too!

I love............... Valentine's Day

And no, it's not because of gifts. I'm not really one for gifts. I like to give little trinkets/treats out for V-day but for the most part, my love of Valentine's Day simply has to do with the idea that it's all about L-O-V-E. Truly. I'm a big fan of anything 'hearts'. Valentine's day is just fun. Just for kicks, you should go to a local CVS (or the like) the night before Valentine's day.. You will get a kick out of the all the men lined up trying to find a card at the last minute. It always makes me laugh.. No offense, guys, but it's a known fact. Really. So anyhoo, as for us (Jeff and myself).. we're just going to lay low for this Valentine's Day. We've decided to stay in, have takeout (from somewhere yummy,to be decided) and we're going to watch FireProof. I decided on that one. I think it's going to be one of those movies that you should watch with a spouse/significant other. For some reason, before I even heard any reviews, I decided that I wanted to see it. It looks like a very moving, spiritual movie. I will definitely post my review. In other news, I took this Thursday off so that means my work week ends tomorrow - Woot! My mom and I are having a night out.. and if we end up being out later than anticipated, I don't want to have to worry about getting up bright and early for work in the morning. Ah, a 3 day weekend! Nicey.

*The Bestest Aunt in the whole wide world*

My precious niece is really bewildered by the moon and the stars lately, so I got an idea in my head yesterday and went with it. Luckily it didn't take me hours on end to find what I needed. Thank you Wal-Mart! So I put these all over her ceiling right under where she'll rest her precious crazy
curl-adorned head later this evening. As a bonus; it will be a SURPRISE tonight because she has no idea that I've done it. She's going to love it! I'm excited!

Tagged!

I've been officially tagged by my friend Amy, so to make her proud, I'm following through. Here's what I'm doing and what YOU'RE doing if I've tagged you! Ha!

The name of the game is tag and the rules are as follows:
1. Go to the 6th picture folder and pick the 6th picture.
2. Post and tell the story about the picture.
3. Tag a few friends.



(I have only two picture folders on my work computer, so I went to the 2nd and posted the 6th picture)... It's a picture of me and my brother... I want to say I was between 21 and 22 which would make him between 8 and 9 yrs old. (We're talking about 10+ yrs ago).. (I'm 32 now).
How precious. Now!! ... who ever shall I tag?
Pretty much anyone I 'know' on blogger has done it already, so... I'm going to tag random people and if they repost... Perfect!

1.) April
2.) Nicole
3.) Kristen

And yes, I totally picked #2 and #3 RANDOMLY.. Now, I just have to leave each of them a comment and tell them. Is that weird? Oh well, I'm not shy.
