360, Cheap Shopping, And Exploding Cooktops

Good morning everyone! I've got so much going on today I thought I'd drop in early this morning to say a few words. It might not be that early, but 10:40am is early for me! I just wanted to mention that I finally got an Xbox 360, so be on the lookout for some game reviews. I haven't had the cash to run out to buy any games this week, but I've downloaded a few demos on Xbox live. I had planned to get a Playstation 3, but the Xbox 360 finally won me over. I'll be telling you all about that later, so keep an eye out for that post. I'll be telling you why the Xbox 360 is more than just a toy for gamers.

Hubby's off work today, so we're going to try to do some thrift store shopping. I'm hoping I can find some great goodies, especially at the new Goodwill Superstore that just opened. I don't think I'll find it, but I'm on the hunt for a counter top stove top because mine blew up last night.

Yep, I said blew up. Something electrical in one of the eyes didn't like whatever was going on, and it went poof with a big flash of light and a huge buzzing sound. I was in the middle of cooking dinner, and it flipped not just the one breaker to the kitchen, but killed the main breaker to the whole house! We flipped the power back on and hoped the other 3 eyes would work, but nope the whole thing is dead. It's not like I wasn't expecting it to die soon enough. It's an old Hotpoint cook top from the '70s, but I didn't expect a light show!
