Fun Gift Ideas

There used to be a fun store at the mall called Spencers where you could buy fun gifts and silly novelty items. Those stores closed last year and I’ve not found anything to take its place until tonight when I came across an online site called Creative and Unique Gift Ideas.

This is the perfect place to find gag gifts and fun things, like a coffee cup that looks like a stack of three cups but is really only one cup. My favorite item is the Wi-Fi detecor shirt that lights up when you are close to a Wi-Fi source. What a great geek gift!

Cracker Barrel Rocks

About the only place around here to get a great breakfast is Cracker Barrel. There is always Waffle House – yuck – and Shoneys, with a couple of IHOPs here and there. But Cracker Barrels are all over and they are consistently great, homestyle food at a fair price.

This morning I ordered the special, called Grandma’s Blueberry Pancakes. The order came with two huge blueberry pancakes with a jar of Smuckers warmed blueberry syrup. It also came with two eggs cooked to order, two smoked sausage patties, hash browns, and a plate with homemade biscuits and gravy. All for $6.00 and with coffee and a tip you can’t get a better breakfast deal for under $10.

Red Wings Almost There

Last night’s Stanly Cup Playoffs game was awesome except that the red Wings won their third in the series and Pittsburg only has 1 win. They play again Monday night – in Detroit – and if the Penguins lose this one it is all over for them. I’m cheering for the underdog and hope the Penguins squeeze out a win at the Joe so that there is at least one more game.

The Red Wings were an easy team to beat for us early in the season. It’s a shame we couldn’t beat them a couple more times and have the Predators in the playoffs this year instead of the Red Wings. But there is some comfort in knowing that the team that beat us out of the Stanley Cup is the team that will most likely win the Stanley Cup.
