My only errand for today was to go to the local pet store and look at pet carriers.  You see, we’re going on a long trip and a couple of weeks and instead of leaving our pets at home, we are taking them with us.  We also thought that it would be smarter to have our two dogs in carriers so they don’t cause any disturbances while on our drive.

Usually when I go shopping, I go right to the item that I intend on buying, pick it up, and take it to the till.  I don’t know why, but I decided to wander the pet store today.

That was my first mistake.

I found myself looking at dog toys and accessories for my two puppies.  They had some new toys that I had never seen before and I decided that I needed them.  I threw them in the shopping cart and continued to look through the store.

That was my second mistake.

By the time I was done shopping, my shopping cart was full of dog food, toys, a Nylabone or two, and the total at the till was just plain ridiculous.  In the future, I will not pick up a cart nor take the time to shop around at the pet store.

I was looking for a website where I can get wholesale jewelry, so that I can start my own small business. I have checked into all of the local jewelry stores around where I live and none of them can offer me the pricing that I need in order to make a profit myself. That is when I had the idea to go and take a look at what is available online.

One thing that I know I want to carry is JoJo watches. These are really big sellers right now and practically everyone that I know has one. I know that I could make a good profit off of these if I could get them at a good enough price. I suppose that is true of any type of merchandise that anyone wants to sell. I am still in search of finding the perfect wholesale company.

I really would like to carry a whole selection of hip hop jewelry. It would be such a huge seller around here and I know that I could make some pretty good sales at some of the local clubs. I am not expecting to make a living out of it, but I could make some extra money by venturing into this. It would also be a great learning experience.

I own a online flower shop that delivers flowers all over the world.  Most of out business is concentrated in the United States and Europe, with a sprinkling of orders from around the world.

But, we had an unusual order in my email box today.  You see, someone wanted us to send flowers to Romania for a funeral.  Usually this wouldn’t be a problem, but this was one country where it might be a problem for us.

You see, we had a flower store in Romania that we did a lot of business with.  They were very reliable, and we gave them all our business.  But last year, the flower shop there burned to the ground and they didn’t rebuild.

So, it looks like I will have to call around out there to see if I can find someone to fulfill my order - I just hope that I can make it happen on time.

While I was doing a search on the Internet for liquid vitamins, I was surprised at how many results that came up. I was astonished and did not know exactly where to begin. I know that a friend had suggested that I take liquid vitamins, as she has cancer and they have helped her out immensely.

One particular liquid vitamin that kept coming up was GBG. I decided that, if there were so many results for this, it must be a good one, and therefore I decided that I would do a bit more research on this particular vitamin. After all, thousands of people could not be wrong, could they?

I started checking out some of the websites and it did not take me long to figure out that it was part of an MLM program. I am not totally against multi level marketing, but it was not something I wanted to get into, that is for sure. At that point, I gave up my computer search for the perfect liquid vitamin and just went to buy some at Costco.

I was looking at putting some decals or something on my car, just to jazz it up a little bit. I could not afford to have it painted, but I thought I could find something to make it look better. That is when I found the vinyl racing stripes. I knew these would be perfect and would make my car look a lot newer and trendier than it really was.

I also ordered some custom vinyl banners that I could put on the car myself and spruce it up. There were many to choose from and they were fairly reasonably priced, so I decided to buy two. I am only putting one on my car, but I couldn’t decide between the two of them and I did not know when I would make it to the city again.

I bought the custom vinyl lettering to go along with the banners and now I am stuck deciding what to do with them. I know it is going to look amazing when I am done and I know my car will go from dull to wow, so it is a major choice that I have to make.

Don’t panic - I’m not going to talk about a real dead mouse.  Rather, the mouse for my laptop died and I found myself for the first time using my touch pad.  After about ten minutes, I decided that I didn’t really care about the touch pad - what I needed was a wireless laptop mouse.

I did a quick search for a wireless mouse at a number of computer retailer’s websites, but I found it really hard to compare prices.  Trying to flip windows and keep track of what was going on was just about impossible, I needed a better place to find the answers I needed.

Thankfully, after a quick search, I found a lens on Squidoo called laptop accessories clearance - that had all the deals I was looking for, all in one spot.  After a couple of clicks, I was able to order a wireless mouse (at a great price), pay for it, and get it shipped to me. 

Man that was easy.
