Just got a survey call about my recent experience at the local bank branch. They didn't ask whether it was a convenient time (it wasn't very, the baby was getting distracted from nursing) and ploughed right into a really stupid set of questions. Some highlights ( Read more... )

from buying a whole case of Nutella at buythecase.net. The shipping is free, it's $3.29 a jar, which is a really good price. What am I going to look like after 15 jars of nutella?

We decided we'll need a tandem baby stroller once Motu is born, since Ali is still too little to walk much by herself, and can get tired at the drop of a dime. She can also run wild for an entire day, but she's not predictable. The two main parameters are that at least one space takes a car seat (preferably both), and that the seats can face each ( Read more... )

EZPiss is replacing their older tags with new ones, sending out new ones and asking people to send back the old once they get the new. Upgrade type thing. We've actually exchanged our tags in this manner a few months ago, maybe more; I vaguely remember doing it. So far, so good ( Read more... )
