I've been hearing this word being used lately that sounds weird to me. People are saying Infinite but pronouncing it like In-fy-nyte but it's pronounced In-fuh-nit.
The definition of this word is unlimited like say for example, space is infinite because it's so big it just never ends.
It confuses me when I hear people saying this word wrong because I think they are saying something else. I heard it at Christmas time several times by 2 people and now I just heard it on TV.
It sort of reminds me of the word Nuclear. It is pronounced noo-klee-er but I hear people like George Bush saying nu-cu-ler.
By the way, the links in this blog are from Dictionary.com and they each have a Hear button that you can click which plays a persons voice (man and woman) with the correct pronunciation.

No More Crocheting
Last night I was crocheting a granny square and I could feel the pressure in my left wrist from the carpel tunnel. I was going to just do a few squares a day to be able to do my crocheting but not over do it but I guess I over did it.
It was fun while it lasted though but unfortunately I have to stop for awhile again. I'm making a blanket with granny squares with all different colors with a black border. It will look nice once it's finished but I will have to wait a long time to finish it I guess.

Generic
Normally I don't mind buying generic stuff from the store like q-tips, it's all the same, right? Or canned veggies like corn or peas. It's all the same. We buy the brand called Shoppers Value from Albertson's. We get the shoppers value milk because it's 2 gallons for $5 and with the cost of groceries going up because of gas prices over the last few years you can use as many savings as you can.
There are however a few products that are generic that I just will not buy like macaroni and cheese. I'd much prefer the kraft because the generic just doesn't taste right. The pasta is gross even when you cook it the same as kraft and it just doesn't taste right. The generic toilet paper is 1 sheet, too thin. I much prefer Charmin.
Today I bought shoppers value coffee. I normally like to buy the beans that have those dispensers and you can grind it right there because the quality is so good. I know it's not as much as a big can of folders coffee but it's really good and I have an espresso maker, you have to grind it special for that. Well, I bought the shoppers value because regular folders coffee is $13 now. I think it was hills brothers that was on sale for $10 but the shoppers value was only $7 so I bought it. As soon as we got home I brewed a pot. I don't like my coffee to be too strong so I just use 2 scoops of the coffee grounds and it lasts so much longer when I do that. Well, I put some cream and sweet n low in my coffee and omg yuck it tasted like an ash tray. I normally only use 1 sweet n low, I had to add 2 more for it to taste decent.
From now on I can just add coffee to my list of things I won't buy in generic.

Elf Marathon
The USA channel is replaying the movie Elf over and over and over again today for 24 hours straight. Imagine, 24 hours of the same movie over and over and over again.
It was an ok movie, it wasn't wonderful, it certainly doesn't bear repeating 12 times in a row. Come on USA channel, what are you doing? Cable channels repeat the same movies over and over again in the same month so you know if you miss it when it's on you can see that it will be on again and you can wait until then. Don't repeat the same thing over and over sheesh lol.

Corn Dog
Today flower did the funniest thing. Since she's so small she can fit into tight places. I went into my room to get my drink then I was going to sit in the living room and watch tv and Chip said hurry look and I see flower laying inside the arm of Chips coat. I ran to the bedroom and grabbed my camera.
Walmart
Times are definately tough for a lot of people... ****EDITED****
I've already put an application in to Walmart via their website to be either a greeter or a stocker or checker or whatever they can use me for. I'm actually looking forward to getting out of the house and going to a job so I can't wait and I hope they accept my application and hire me. Even if I'm a greeter that's fine, as long as I get a check you know?
