New Way to Wake Up
Wednesday, January 5th, 2011
There’s a cool gadget out that will wake only you. At some point you’ve probably felt the rage of being awoken early by someone else’s alarm, or maybe you feel bad for disturbing your sweetie with your wake up time, problems that the Analarm watch nullifies. It’s a simple concept: a vibrating watch with an alarm. Set your time and it buzzes to let you know when to get up. Seemingly that’s all the thing does, other than tell time of course. The price is around $450. Seems a little steep (and not all that pretty) but probably worth it if your day starts more smoothly!
Timeless Nancy Drew
Tuesday, January 4th, 2011
Aaah, my radio sister, Lisa Drew shares my fond nostalgic memories of Nancy Drew mystery books and you can’t imagine how entirely my mind was blown when, for Christmas, she gave me “Clues for Real Life: The Classic Wit & Wisdom of Nancy Drew”. A book filled with all things Nancy! Who knew? I started reading it this afternoon and I seriously can’t stop smiling! This book offers advice on everything a “modern gal” needs. Too good and too fun not to share a few gems with you…
Dating: When you stick your boyfriend in a cabin with a sick man and live high on the hog at a nearby resort, he might get a bit cranky, but if he complies, he might just be the man for you. – The Haunted Bridge
Dealing with Difficult People: When a crazed villain leaps off and starts dancing with you across a field, take this opportunity to interrogate him for clues in between twirls! – The Double Jinx Mystery
Travel: When warned by a cantankerous Monsieur Neuf to stay out of France, indulge his threats and go to France anyway! – The Mystery of the 99 Steps
Real Estate: If someone’s trying to buy a house and it suddenly becomes haunted, it’s probably not a coincidence. – The Hidden Staircase
What a great way to start a new year… remembering an old favourite! Thanks to the Drew girls, both Nancy and Lisa!
