Hey there. Would you buy a 12 pack of beer for $6.99 to $8.99? Sounds like steal to me. Especially when many of us are still pinching pennies and making sure we don't spend a fortune on unnecessary stuffs. But when a game is on and you're buddies are over, how can you not have beer? And where do you usually go for a beer run? If you're like me, I hit the closet thing and it's usually a 7-Eleven. You find those suckers everywhere and it's better than hitting a market since you'll avoid those long lines. 7-Eleven knows this and has now tapped into the beer market with their own brand of beer, Game Day Beer.
This is smart. 7_Eleven knows it's customers and it's a fairly well known beer run spot. So once you're there and you see a 12 pack of beer for about $8, how can you not go, "Screw it, let's give this a go." I know for a fact that I'll be giving it a try once the 7-Eleven by my house starts carrying it. Why not? Everything is worth a shot. Whether or not this is success is left to be seen and if you're like me, you're going to want to make sure that it tastes good too. Considering that it's being made by one of Wisconsin's oldest breweries gives some reputation and credence to the new kid on the block, but whether or not it can tap into Bud's and Miller's customers will tell if this beer will be even remotely successful.
One a side note, I love the name of it. Game Day Beer. Great marketing there. Most people are not lone drinkers and drink beer only during certain social events, like a football, basketball, or baseball game. This beer clearly is aimed at those customers and quite frankly, is pure genius.

A Problem with Snoring
Hey there. Recently, my wife and I have been getting less sleep. No, not entirely because of the baby (he has yet to sleep through the night but we feel he's getting there!) but because it turns out that I have developed a habit of snoring. Yup... turns out that I now snore. I don't think that I snored before. If I did, I would have heard from the wife, but now... she lets me know. And it's usually in the middle of the night... A good kick in the shin... a tossing of the pillow... an elbow to my side... and just recently found out that she covered my face with a pillow! It was in jest and was only a sec (or so she claims... lmao)
Anyways... I'm trying to get rid of it. My wife has noticed that if I sleep with pillows the snoring stops or at least diminishes. My problem with that is that I'm extremely uncomfortable sleeping with pillows. Yeah, I'm a weird one. I just can't find my groove and sleep when I'm on pillows... let alone be semi propped up to stop this snoring monster that I have become. My mother in law suggested that this may have been because I've put on some weight. I don't know if there is truth to that but I have gained weight. I finally topped the 180 lbs mark this week (I'm 5'8) and I feel a little heavier but I don't feel lethargic or anything of that sort.
So what do you think? Any old wives tales that will fix me or some well known stuffs to do/take that will help stop the snoring? I really don't want to get a kick to the shin again. The wife is getting stronger (all them gym work outs are starting to pay off for her) and I don't know if my shin can take it. lol Until then... Later!

BCBG Handbag Winner
Hey there. I was hoping to get a better turnout in these type of contest, but alas... it was not meant to be. Too bad for, but great luck to those that entered since there were few entries, meaning more of a chance for them to win! And the winner is... ENIGMAGEEK!
You've won a bag. I'll be contacting you for shipping instructions and what not shortly! Thanks to those that entered. I'm not so sure I'll have any more since I didn't get the best of turns outs, but who knows... Maybe I'll give em away anyways! Until then, later!

Motivational Sunday - Gamers
Hey there. If you play a lot of video games, you'll get reality and fantasy mixed up from time to time. You'll believe that you're still in the game even though you turned the power off a long time ago. That's why I really enjoyed the below poster. It's happened to me where I'm walking on a ledge to "avoid falling into a fire pit" or am clinging to a fence a la Super Mario World. It just makes the real world that more fun. lol So once I find out where I can purchase this sticker, I'm so going to get it. Later!

Checking Out Stainless Steel Sinks
Hey there. My wife is none too happy with our kitchen. When we first bought the house, we figured that the kitchen would be the least of our problems but now it's a different story. We're none too happy with the cabinets and we're not too happy with the blue sink. Yup... A blue sink... Check it out.
It doesn't seem to go with the stainless steel faucet that I recently got. That's why we are looking at stainless steel sinks to purchase. I have mainly been doing the searching and I'm thinking that I may go with this placed called MR Direct. They have low prices and are BBB accredited so at least I know that they're not going to rip me off. My wife has been wanting a stainless steel sink ever since we decided that the blue is no longer going to work for us. Hopefully, I'll be able to find something at MR Direct that will make us happy. Until then. Later
