Vacation Photos

Posted on July 7, 2009 by thebluehutch

I just uploaded 583 photos from our trip to Birmingham (this doesn’t include what my sister-in-law took!) I’ll be focusing on getting as many as possible into printing order so I can take advantage of the Snapfish 50 prints for $.50 deal. THEN I’ll work on blogging. . .

Priorities! Frugality first!

Family Togetherness

Posted on July 5, 2009 by thebluehutch
14 folks around the table for five days!
20 folks around the table for three days!
The perfect situation for a Mastercard commercial:
Airline tickets from Asia: $8,000.00
Gas from Missouri: $150.00
Having 14 family members together for the first time in 2.5 years: priceless.

We are headed home tomorrow. I’ll fill you in when I can.

More Movie Goer Help

Posted on June 23, 2009 by thebluehutch

If you have been around me for any length of time, you know I love going to the movies. LOVE IT! The entertainment industry has made small adjustments along and along that have added a tiny amount of stress, but some brilliant someone has taken another step to keep the peace on movie lovers lane.

One issue is how action packed movies are nowadays. Hence my previous post linking you to runpee.com!
Another addition to the theatre experience is surprise scenes AFTER the credits or photos and small interchanges DURING the credits. How do you know if you should stick around? Why waste 10 good minutes reading funny names as they scroll on the screen if there is going to be nothing but blackness in the end.
Enter MovieStinger! This site tells you whether or not there is a “stinger” (extra scene or footage) during or after the credits. You can even click through and see what the scene is about and decide if you think it’s worth it (not that you would, but you could).
So, another meaningless stress averted. Wish someone would come up with Poopinthepotty.com and take that stress away!!
Thanks to Lifehacker.com for the MovieStinger tip!
