My daughter had a Yard Sale today, and sold quite a lot of stuff that she no longer used or needed. Poor Marcus, she sold quite a bit of his stuff too!! LOL She said she did pretty good, but she sold some things at a lot less than what she wanted, only because she didn't want to pack it all up again!

But she is slowly trying to clear the way by making room, and the only way to do that is to get rid of some stuff. She has the right idea. I myself, am a packrat and I hold onto everything and anything!! I can't seem to get rid of anything! That is probably why my house is so cluttered and full. I think I inherited it from my Mom and Dad though, they were hoarders too, and I guess I picked it up from them.

Now, if only I could get on the bandwagon in getting rid of stuff, maybe I would have more space and maybe be able to make a bit of cash too??

Ok, so while my grandson and I were busy laughing and watching Wipeout, my daughter was online with her new addiction...Playing poker online.

Who knew she would be such a whiz at playing poker online? And she even has her friends all hooked on it too! She was trying to tell me about it, she said I would have a blast, and she wanted me to sign up right there and then, because they are offering a "Poker Stars marketing code" when you first register a new account. What you do is put in the special code when you register and when you make a $50 deposit, they match it with another $50, giving you $100 to start playing!! How cool is that?? Plus it also lets you compete in special events that are not open to the public, only to those that put in the special code.

Another thing to remember is the Pokerstars bonus code, you must enter this when you make your first deposit to make sure you get your bonus. And so that you qualify for all the other goodies that they offer. Once you enter your Pokerstars bonus codes you are all ready to begin playing with the big dogs!! You can play in a number of different games, and you can choose the limit you spend. As long as you know how to play poker, this will be fun for you! But there are some awesome tutorials to help you if you need them.

I found it to be one of the best visual and interactive poker sites on the internet!! I have played on some before, but watching my daughter play a couple of hands had me very interested. I like to play poker, but haven't really found an online site that I liked, until this one.

I guess she was right when she said she thought that I would enjoy it!! Now I just have to head over there and sign up....
Maybe when I finish watching TV with my grandson, that is what I will do!

Whenever my grandson wants something, he usually will come to me to ask for it, because he knows his Grammy is a big softie and I will get him just about anything he wants. The great thing about him, is he doesn't abuse this often, like most children his age would.

He doesn't like to go to stores any more than I do, and he knows I do a lot of my shopping online, so when he came to me asking for some WWE Action Figures, I was more than happy to have him sit with me to see what we could find. He already has a bunch of them that we could get locally, but when we went to ShopWiki, we found so many others that he didn't have! The great thing about Wiki is that they compile information from many other sites, so you don't have to go site hopping back and forth, all the information is in one convenient place. So we found a rare John Cena Action Figure and an Undertaker Action Figure that he didn't have, (and that we had never seen before!) and we chose those 2 to purchase. What a great deal we got too!!

I also wanted to look some more at the retro toys, to see if I could get him something we loved when my daughter was little, a Slip N' Slide! Now, we haven't gotten it yet, but there is lots of summer left for him and his friends to have a blast with that!! I can't wait to set it up and see him go!!!

I have already bought him the Nintendogs: Lab and Friends for the Nintendo DS where he can play this game by adopting a virtual dog out of these breeds: Labrador Retrievers, Miniature Schnauzers, Toy Poodles, Pembroke Welsh Corgis, Miniature Pinschers, and Shiba Inus. He chose the Labrador Retriever, and then he has to raise it and train it and love it. It is so cute to hear him say he has to "feed" his dog after their real dog gets his dinner, and then he runs to the Nintendo DS and takes care of his puppy. The cool thing is that this dog can learn tricks and when he gets good enough he can be entered into the virtual dog shows that they have and earn virtual cash to be used for virtual items. I know it sounds corny, but this dog is really smart and learns quick! And my grandson is also learning how to better take care of his own dog at the same time. It's a win, win situation.

Being the die hard Red Sox Fan that I am, I am always on the lookout for Fenway Park Tickets so that I can see my Favorite players play in our home stadium! I love to sit in the stands and get the feel of the ball park, and the Green Monstah (a little Boston slang there) is always a highlight of the trip! I have lots of pictures of the park, because I love it so much!

Now, we all know of the rivalry between the Red Sox and the New York Yankees, right? But I am blinded by the rivalry at all. I just love to watch good baseball, and I think that when these two teams meet up, it is a great ballgame, no matter who you are rooting for! Now that they have built the new stadium in New York, I would love to go down there for a game and score some Yankee Stadium Tickets!! What a treat that would be, to see not only the new ballpark, but to watch a game inside. And wouldn't it be awesome if it could be a match up between the Sox and the Yankees?? I couldn't ask for a better game or a better reason to see the new stadium!

A few years ago, I traveled to Chicago for business, and actually had 3 days off in Chicago and thought, "Hmmm, what could I do in Chicago?" So, I looked into getting Wrigley Field Tickets, and to my surprise, I was able to get them and watch a White Sox game on my time off from work!! Now, I know most of you ladies would have wanted to go shopping or something, but not me....put me anywhere within range of a ballpark, and I will try to be there!! There is just something about a ballpark hotdog that makes it taste better than any you will have anywhere else, and the excitement of being at a live game instead of watching it on television, is just unbeatable!
