Favorite Web Sites

Would love to trade favorite websites with you. A few of my favorites are:

slickdeals -Really great this time of year. It has a list of "deals" on items that many of us are searching for. Clearance sales at Banana Republic, Gap, Aripostle. Then the deals on electronic items, Nintendo DS, Plasma TV's, computer moniters. They often include a special coupon or code that will get you an additional discount or free shipping.

heyitsfree - I've stashed some fun stocking stuffers for my family from this site. Warning - does get you some added spam email. Remember you can "unsubscribe" to these.

sporcle - Just a fun time waster. This one has a virtual plethora of quizzes that take a few minutes to complete. It will increase your inventory of useless trivia.

people of Walmart This one is scary. The fact that people go out in public like this is frightening. Walmart is considered public isn't it??? It could also be titled What not to Wear.

Eisenlauer Team -Still the best place to find your favorite Polk County Realtors and their current listings. Call Bill at 770-2455 or Bob at 979-2883.

Don't Stay Home This Weekend!

There are always SOOO many things to do- events to attend. I'm going to suggest a few things for this weekend.

At the Pleasant Hill Youth Center in Doanes' Park there will be a vendor fair with benefits goint to Juvenile Diabetes. This will be a great time to shop early for Christmas gifts as well as bake sale items for immediate enjoyment. 50 gift baskets with different themes will also be for sale.

A friend of ours, Stephen Roney is opening a new tanning salon in the Drake area. Stephen and his girlfriend, both business students at Drake are planning Grand Opening activites for Sat. Nov.14.
