I am not one to order clothing off the internet, as you just don't know what you are going to get... but, I fell in love with this shirt as soon as I saw it on amazon, and decided to buy it. it has 3/4 length sleeves and fits well, it doesn't hug the body and the bottom is long enough to cover you backside without any worry.






I had been looking at this particular item for quite some time, both on amazon and on QVC … but it would always sell out extremely fast and then take forever to get back in stock. I finally was able to get one off amazon back in early July.

it was very easy for me to put together(and that is saying something because, I am NOT mechanically inclined in the slightest.) and it folds flat for easy storage, I just tuck it between the end table and the couch when I am not using it.

the top is 20x25 and can be set in 3 different angles.. the legs can easily be adjusted to 6 different heights and even with stuff sitting on it, it glides like a dream on the carpet if you need to move it to get up. it comfortably holds my laptop, and my mouse and mousepad. and I still have space for a bottle of water, and a notebook and pen.

I am very happy with my tablemate xl purchase.

Product: Nancy Drew Game #32 -- Sea Of Darkness

Purchased on : June 8th 2015

Started playing on June 12th 2015


Completed game on June 15th 2015


Game Rating: "E 10+"  Everyone ages 10- adult


My thoughts on the game:


I absolutely LOVE the Nancy Drew Series of games for the PC and i currently own all 32 of the  games. most times i preorder so i can get the special edition that has a bonus task made right into the game for nancy to collect  charms for her cell phone.. sadly this time due to finances i couldn't do that, but  even without that added bonus the games are fun to play.


Now, onto  game #32 Sea Of Darkness the game is set in Iceland,  Nancy is there to locate a man named Magnus who has seemingly gone missing, the inhabitants of the town are all quite surly towards her-- except the guy that runs the cultural center... Soren, he seems nice.


As she looks for clues she soon learns about a treasure and  senses there might be more to this than just a person gone missing..


there are many conversations to be had with several people in the town-- 


Gunnar: heavyset  crotchety older gentleman spend all his time at the pub-- doesn't much care for tourists. past may have some secrets he is hiding.


Dagny: she is  the one who called Nancy and had her come to iceland , she is very gruff and very ..blunt 


Elizabet-- Magnus' on again off again girlfriend, when you meet her she seems sweet, but stuck on him horribly after their break up


Soren- sweet, nice looking guy that runs the cultural center... for some reason the whole town doesn't like him and treats him as an outsider. so he doesn't have a lot of friends.


Alex- you never see her but but talk to her at a couple key points in the game via  the ship radio and later via cell phone.. helpful, scatterbrained and somewhat--lazy? 


The puzzles in game are what you would expect in a nancy drew game, there was even a new type that i don't think we have seen in any game before-- and it got me so confused i stopped playing for a day and a half as i was so frustrated.


there is also a really sweet call between Ned and Nancy that die-hard Nancy drew fans with love :)


also like every Nancy drew game you can choose to play either as an amatur or  senior dective.  i always choose amatur because i know if i get too stuck i can get  hints if need be.


The ending of the game took a little twist but  was still rewarding.


the music and graphics were great in game.  


I totally give this game a 10/10 rating


a good rule of thumb i follow for any nancy drew game i play , is to have a good walkthrough nearby for if you get lost,stumped or stuck, it saves the headache, frustration and hassle of having to start your game completely over if you've missed a step along the way.


I am totally looking forward to #33 coming out this fall!

Product: Golden Girls Season 1 on DVD

Purchased on March 31st 2015

I remember spending saturday nights watching this on NBC with my mom as a teenager(7pm i think it was)

I ordered this  because i had  been wanting to get this series for awhile now-- so imagine my surprise when i finally had the time to open the season 1 set(i opened it on april 14th), and what was sold to me as a "brand new" copy  clearly wasn't!  the shrink wrap wasn't tight like it should have been-- it was very loosey goosey--  then after getting the plastic off, i noticed very visible,obvious signs of wear and tear on the outer sleeves.. discs 1& 3 were in perfect condition, but the shiny side of disc 2 was scratched to heck!

i was not a happy camper, so i hopped into an amazon live chat and they quickly resolved the situation-- getting a replacement season shipped out to me and a link for a return label to send the damaged on back to them..

I had my replacement season the very next day! and for my trouble i also got a promo code to use  when i shopped the next time.

this show always makes me laugh, and reliving the memories is gonna be awesome!

Product: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Nail polish

Color: : #373 Grape Gatsby

Pros: goes on very smoothly, brush width is just the right size , dries quickly and has an amazing shine, no horrible smell!

Cons: a little pricey

Cost: the shelf tag said $8.34 if i recall correctly  but it rang up at $7.99.

I picked up this polish yesterday after work as my other light purple had gone AWOL  i was hoping it wasn't going to be runny like other polishes i have tried in the past-- and to my surprise, it wasn't the consistency is great!

I love the brush width on this one it allowed me to get the polish onto my nails in 2 strokes and i didn't end up with all over my cuticles and on the skin around my nails. my nails look amazing the shade of purple is great-- not too light and not too dark-- it is the perfect shade for springtime/Easter.

this is my second purchase of polish from this line by sally hansen (i also have "wine not" which is a perfect shade for the holidays)

Item Purchased: Sony PS3 wireless remote control
Ordered From: Amazon.com on 8/16/14
Item Received on: 8/18/14

I had been eyeballing and pricing one of these at target and walmart and also online for quite some time-- I have a backwards compatible PS3, but, the person that sold it to me told i would have to get a new remote as his had been lost when he moved.

i was thrilled when i checked amazon, and saw they had it for $11 cheaper that what i had been seeing for in the big box stores(even with the shipping cost it was still cheaper than what the stores wanted--which  at the stores would have set me back $25 before tax)

It arrived packaged and sealed well.  i tested it out with the WWE network and it works great!
