For a limited time, Tanga.com is offering a 1-year subscription to Nintendo Power Magazine for only $4.99. Just be sure to use the coupon code: b7bd when you checkout.

I purchased a subscription for my kids who just love their Nintendo Wii and DS games. I think it’s a great deal – plus tanga lets you use paypal to pay for it which works out perfect for me since I always tend to have a balance on my paypal account.

use this link to sign up for a subscription.

game on!

It’s just far enough to prevent my wife from visiting too frequently b/c if she had her way, she’d be there all the time. it’s her “promised land” if you will.

she’s got a ton of decorating and furnishing ideas for the house but she’s severely limited by our budget. We only purchased what we set out to get yesterday so it was good in that sense. I wish I could allow her to get all that she wants but we’d be more in the hole than we already are. and that would do no one any good, now would it?

oh and after wandering around the crowded store all day, I wanted to test out one of those little “5-hour energy drinks” for the drive home. I can tell you now that the lil’ energy shot is bogus and didn’t do squat for me. I was sleepy and worn out all the way home! *harumph*
