21st Century Mom

When Newton Saw An Apple Fall...

Apple dropped the price of its i- Phone with 8 GB of storage to $399 from $599.

Good things come to those who wait <wink>.

Fall = Apples

But not the kind you think. Refurbished Apples are on sale.  Given that my 'refurbished' i-pod lasted about 8 months, I'd recommend going with a monitor and buying the processing unit for full whack.

If accessories are your thing, just broom these deals.  Seriously...if you're gonna shell out $2500 for a MacBook Pro, is saving $300 worth it if the thing lasts half as long???

Woot Off!!!

Woot off in progress.  For newbies -- Woot is an electronics site that sells one item at a pretty low price per day and when it sells out...it's gone.  Woot offs can go on for hours or days and change frequently as Woot tries to shift all the leftover cats and dogs with ridiculously low prices.  So it's worth checking back frequently to see what is currently on offer. 

Right now it's an electronic a poker tournament. Which I can understand why they are having some issues getting rid of it...haven't these folks heard that playing games is one of the most popular things to do on the Internet???

Poser

Thanks J, for letting me know that pink i-phone cases are on sale for $7 with free shipping.

Guess all I need now is the freakin' phone!

Not just about the clothes

Just to show SOME people that I do more than shop for clothes, Brookstone is sweetening their online clearance deals through June 30th, 2007, you can take $10 off your $100+ order with coupon code AF2JUNE, or take $20 off your $200+ order with coupon code AF3JUNE.

Personally I like to look at the ridiculous pictures.  I mean, really, can you just see your neighbor playing with this contraption without laughing your ass off???

Girls on Film

Wanna THRILL your mom on Mother's Day?

Record her grandchildren warbling into this recordable picture frame.  Allows you to record up to 4 messages.  Which is good because when your kids get hold of 'Grandma's Gift', they will record their messages over and over and over and over and over...

$24.99 shipped.  And it's even LEATHER! Don't forget the cute picture :)

Oranges & Lemons Ring the Bells of St Clements

Tarzhey has the Apple 1Gb ipod shuffle on sale for a sweet $75.  In orange only (would make a nice kid's birthday gift).  Use coupon code TGTSAVQ2 and voila! magically the price is now $67.50, cheapest on the inter-web.

Can U Hear Me Now?

Mom (me): Stop fighting.  I need to make a call.

Daughter #1: But you're driving.  Isn't that illegal?

Daughter #2: What's illegal?

#1: Against the law.

#2 (with glee): We're going to see a policeman?

Mom: No.  It is not against the law to make a call.  <starts dialing with her thumb, keeping her eyes on the road>

<cue baby waking up from her nap and crying>

#1: Mom!  Baby's awake.

#2: Where's the paci?

Mom <stops dialing, fidgets in her handbag for a pacifier instead>: Here. <starts thumb dialing again>

#1: Can you turn on Radio Disney?

#2: I want XM Kids.

<Mom sighs that deep mom-sigh and puts down the phone again to turn on the radio>

#1: I hate XM Kids.  All they ever play is that whiney babysitter.  And stupid baby songs.

#2: Well I like it.  I can't understand Radio Disney songs.

<Mom finds 80s on 8...because they have naughty words on the Gangsta rap stations.  She picks up her phone and tries to dial for a third time>

#1: Mom!  This music is so old.  It's so last century!

#2: I'm hungry.  Are we there yet?

<Mom realizes she's never going to make this call, throws her cellphone in her purse and finds a box of raisins and juicebox>

So if you, like me, need your hands to do something else while you're driving (and don't EVEN go there), grab this great deal at buy.com on the Jafra headset for $29.99.

Have Data, Will Travel

At the risk of sounding like an Amazon groupie (3 sequential posts...what do I do all day long?!!), Amazon also has a great deal on a Kingston Data Traveler 1 GB USB Flash Drive.  These babies work really well with Macs (and pc's)...great for storing and sending pics.  Only $13 on sale (normally $31).  Pick up 2 and get free shipping!

Walk this Way

Did you know that heart disease affects 1 in 4 Americans AND is the #1 killer of women?

Pfizer is offer a FREE pedometer as part of a heart-healthy lifestyle. You can use it to count the 10,000 steps a day you should be getting.  Personally I'd prefer those steps to be around a mall...
