{December 4, 2009}   A few GOOD Amazon deals


After a Fall season of relentless high pressure a major pattern shift is eminent and our first truly potent winter storm of the season is due Monday 12/7. The main storm energy originates in the Arctic and will very energetically dive down the West Coast and link up with Pacific moisture for a full blown snow and rain …event. Expect snow to develop during the morning hours Monday with snow levels starting off around 6000′. Heavy snow will develop by late day Monday and dump all through the night with snow levels falling to 5000′. I am anticipating roughly a foot of snow in town in Flagstaff by Tuesday morning with significant accumulations down to 5500′. Snow will taper off by Tuesday midday(tues a.m. snow level ~4000′). Heavy rain expected at lower elevation as well. Peaks will make out big! A break is due Wednesday before yet another storm is advertised by the models for Thurs/Fri. The late week storm is a more traditional Pacific storm as the Big Blue Bummer(Pacific High) breaks down. If this second storm comes through for us we will be taking turns in deep pow really soon….WOOHOO! Think Snow!


{December 4, 2009}   SNOW is on the way!

One of my biggest concerns living in Flag is the drought. It scares me a bit… Thank goodness moisture is on the way.

{December 2, 2009}   Random Product Review

I got some Burt’s Bees shampoo/conditioner the Pom/Soy one, and I wasn’t impressed. The shamp. is watery and the conditioner is okay, but by the time I am done w/ my shower. I need to put a bit in my ends again, as they tangle in a few mins, which has never happened before.

{December 1, 2009}   I LOVE my Shutterfly book!!!!!

It is the ABC book I made for DD, and it is so cool! Each letter was a photo of an item that started with the corresponding letter of the alphabet.



{November 30, 2009}   Ecoist.com Cyber Monday deal!

 

free magazine ever/any bag ($28 retail) and FS over $100!!!!!!
This is the best deal I have EVER seen on ecoist.

Good today only!!!

Ecoist repurposes M&M, Coke, Luna, etc. bar wrappers into purses with fair trade labor into COOL purses. I have an ever/any and LOVE it. It isn’t very big though…I am getting the Socorro (my X-mas gift from DH) made of 700+ soda can pull tabs! And a bracelet for my bff, and a M&M vintage coin purse. I needed to qualify for the $100+

Any yippie (yuppy+hippie) chics on your shopping list? These make GREAT gifts!!

At checkout enter code: CYBERMONDAY      In the notes section, after you enter your address, mention the free clutch and they will ship it out.It is not showing on its own, so I called CS. With $100+ purchase.


So for $105 I got, theses plus a bracelet, which I won’t post, as the BFF getting it could see it!Usually the Socorro bag is $98 all by itself. This was a GREAT deal! So this is my X-mas gift. $100 is over what we usually spend, but hey DH got a TV and TV stand. Mind you his current bedroom TV is over 10 years old…

 

Beth from SS NEEDS a Luna bag, SO perfect for her!



{November 29, 2009}   Just finished my Festivus cards!

We used a few pics of DD at LA last night. We let her play at the play area when it was dumping snow. She had a BLAST! Sliding in the snow is fast and fun! It was $3.19 for 50 cards SHIPPED!!!!!!!!
