Strange Doritos

October 11, 2007 by Tricia

Hey have you tasted the new Chilli Cheese Lime flavored Doritos?

My husband brought home a small bag yesterday afternoon and he generously left about half the bag for me to try.

Well I just got around to tasting them and at first they tasted almost like normal Doritos, but after you eat a few you begin to taste the lime flavor. I’m not big on lime so I stopped eating them when I could finally taste the lime. Now that I’ve stopped eating them the chili flavoring is setting in and I have a slight burn feeling at the back of my tongue and throat.

Strange … two or three different sensations at different times with these oddly flavored Doritos. LOL

So have you tried them?

I think this winter is going to be a cold one!

October 11, 2007 by Tricia

I’m not looking forward to winter this year. I have a feeling it’s going to be a long cold winter.

Why? Well, last winter was very mild here for the most part. Yes it was very cold here and there, but we didn’t get much snow and it was above freezing quite often. Then the summer wasn’t too bad either. We had a cool June for some reason, but then July and August were fairly normal temperature wise.

When the weather is fairly reasonable through three seasons I know from experience that the next winter is usually pretty bad. Perhaps I should start packing now and look for some Orlando real estate so I can be in a nice warm area when it’s freezing here.

If you’ve never lived in a cold climate you probably have no idea how appealing that idea really is right now.

Actually considering that I’ve been working from home for much of the last two years I have thought of moving to another area with a better climate. If I can get my husband to work on his websites perhaps I can talk him into working from home too? Then we’d be all set to live anywhere as we’d both be free agents.

Do you ever think about moving to another country?

Shooting in Cleveland School

October 10, 2007 by Tricia

It seems that school shootings are becoming more and more common place. A sad fact indeed.

I’d like to say this kind of thing doesn’t happen here in Canada, but it seems to happen quite regularly here too.

It appears that a 14 year old male student has allegedly opened fire on his fellow classmates at Success Tech High School in downtown Cleveland, Ohio.

At this time it appears that four people have been wounded. Two of the wounded are said to be teachers.

What kind of name is Malva for a flower?

Malva Sylvestra Zebrina – that’s the formal name of this flower. what a mouthful for such a pretty striped mallow flower.

I love this dependable little plant. I grow Malva in front of my William Baffin rose bush er tree. The flowers bloom in front of the roses bare lower branches hiding it’s ugly “knees”. It makes a great combination along with some lavender and some phlox.

Save 10 to 15 percent on Halloween Costumes at Costume Inc

October 9, 2007 by Tricia

Twenty two days and counting. Halloween will soon be here!

Are you ready for Halloween yet? Do you have your costumes, party supplies, decorations and so on? No? Well what are you waiting for? You’ve got to have a costume for Halloween.

If you don’t have a costume for Halloween yet you might be in luck! Costumes Inc is offer a coupon which will give you 10% off all orders that are between $40 and $75, or if your purchase is worth more than $75 you’ll get 15%.

femalepirate.jpgCostumes Inc has a large selection of Costumes for adults and children. They also carry just about everything else you need to celebrate Halloween such as decorations, costume accessories – wigs, makeup, props and party supplies.

I know that whenever I write about Halloween a number of people leave comments stating that it’s one of their favorite holidays. Why, of course it is! It’s a fun holiday. You can dress up as your alter ego, in fantasy costumes and pretty much be anything or anyone you can imagine just for the day.

You always hear about costumes at this time of year, but I’ve always though of costumes as a year round kind of thing.

I mean people have themed dress up parties all the time, and who hasn’t heard or perhaps even been to a college Toga party? I really enjoy costume parties and wish people had them more often.

While I’m sure that sexy nurse costumes will always be popular you can now dress up as a sexy pirate, Buccaneer Wench if you want to stand out from the crowd.

If you are married or otherwise taken you and your significant other could find costumes that compliment one another. Perhaps a group of your friends are getting together? There’s nothing wrong with finding costumes for everyone to match a certain theme or genre.

That’s the great thing about costumes. You can create your own unique look starting with a basic costume and add accessories such as wigs, hats, makeup and props or you can purchase a costume that comes with a few accessories to complete the look that you were aiming to achieve.

If you visit the site be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page of each costume that you like as you’ll be able to see some of the suggested accessories for that costume.

The costumes come in a variety of sizes ranging from infant to Plus size costumes which means that you should be able to find a great costume for anyone at Costumes Inc.

So remember there’s only 22 days left until Halloween arrives so if you haven’t yet picked out your costume you should take a look at the selection at Costumes Inc.
