Friday Five
1. Do you like to shop? Why or why not? I like to shop but only when I an enter the store, find what I want, pay and leave. I do not like to "window" shop or walk aimlessly looking for the "perfect" item.
2. What was the last thing you purchased? A down throw comforter from QVC for my father-in-law.
3. Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why? It depends; online is convenient for used items like books, CDs, and software. The actual store is great for "real time" SALE items and rebates.
4. Did you get an allowance as a child? How much was it? I don't think so. I remember having chores to do and each payday my mom would let me pick one thing that I wanted. I was very content with this arrangement.
5. What was the last thing you regret purchasing? Oh man, this is a tough one. I don't know if 'regret' is the right word, but I should have researched my digital camera purchase a lot more. In retrospect, I would have paid approximately $250 more to buy a Nikon Coolpix 5700, instead of the Canon S50. Both are 5.0 megapixel cameras, however, the Nikon has an 8X optical zoom compared to Canon's 3X. Of course, it's a $250 difference but, I should've paid it.
The Canon S50 shoots fantastic digital photos and I love the 30 second video mode. Considering how large the video files are, I don't shoot video often, but its quality is outstanding. I also like the S50's small, compact size and the sliding lens cover. The Nikon is larger and bulkier and I'd probably hesitate to carry it with me. I wish the S50 had a better optical zoom, though.

Monday Madness
Well the holiday season is fast approaching and that means shopping, decorating and baking! Have fun!
1. Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? If not, when will you be starting? Definitely. I began in May by buying items as I came upon them. I probably should have waited for the promotions and sales but, my enthusiasm gets the best of me!
2. What are your favorite holiday goodies (baked goods, etc.)? Snow ball cookies, nuts, tamales, and champurado.
3. Do you decorate for Christmas? Inside, outside or both? When will you be putting your decorations up? I decorate outside with lights, window decorations and figures. Everything should be ready by Thanksgiving weekend. My orange "harvest" lights are out right now.
