Shopping for Textbooks – Calling All Students

Posted on January 5, 2012 | 47 Comments

Spring Term 1 will be starting soon at Trinity Washington University (Trinity) and I know all my former students will be looking for the best deals for textbooks.  Buy your textbooks online at Amazon.com

Does it surprise you that Amazon.com sells textbooks.  They never cease to amaze me.  They sell everything under the sun.  For instance, any student that needs to write a paper should have a copy of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Sixth Edition.  I teach in the MBA program at Trinity, so business textbooks are of great interest to me.  I teach Managerial Accounting and Financial Decision Making.  The Financial Decision Making text is written By Robert Higgins: Analysis for Financial Management with S&P bind-in card (Mcgraw-Hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance and Real Estate) Ninth (9th) Edition.  

So students, don’t wait till the last minute to get those textbooks.  Get a head start and visit Amazon.com for textbook specials.  Get the Amazon Student
App for iPhone and Android to check textbook prices, sell your stuff, and get Free 2-day shipping.

Happy Textbook Shopping!!

Recordable Book – A Charlie Brown Christmas

Posted on January 2, 2012 | 38 Comments

So, Christmas day finally arrived and I gave Kelvin his stocking stuffer – A Charlie Brown Christmas.  Hallmark created a recordable book containing the text from A Charlie Brown Christmas, and I was able to record the story in my voice.

I handed the book to Kelvin on Christmas morning and he tore off the wrapping paper and expressed great appreciation.  He opened the book, but he was turning the pages too quickly to hear me reading.    He eventually turned to the first page of the story and heard the voice.  OMG, he went crazy.  I caught part of his excitement on video.  Checkout the video.  Kelvin and A Charlie Brown Christmas

I love to shop for gifts that receive the reaction Kelvin exhibits in the video.  It makes my shopping experience worthwhile, plus it proves that I take the time to shop for gifts that people will love.  Take the time to buy special gifts for the people you care about.

The Triplets’ Birthday Party

Posted on December 31, 2011 | 12 Comments

It’s the day after the grand party, and all is well.  The guests did well, because gifts and cards were flowing into the Triplets’ gift baskets all night long.  Somebody was doing some serious shopping; some of those gift bags were pretty big, and full of goodies.

 

Ettie, Ellen and Elaine looked like they were having a great time.  They know how to work a room.  The music was pumping and thumping in the basement, and greetings, conversations, and laughter were everywhere on the first floor.  It was great seeing everyone as a precursor to the New Year.   So, here’s to a great party Ettie, Ellen, and Elaine.  Wishing you many more Happy Birthdays.

They Love To Shop – The Collins Triplets

Posted on December 30, 2011 | 26 Comments

Today is an extra special day because today is the day that the Collins Triplets were born.

Ettie, Ellen & Elaine

Ettie, Ellen, and Elaine are the Collins triplets, and they love to shop.  If you need gift suggestions, Ettie’s favorite store is Neiman Marcus, and she would probably love to have the Jimmy Choo Glenis Leather Gladiator Sandal ($995) coordinated with something from the Armani Collezioni ($355-$1140).  Ellen’s favorite store is Nordstrom, but we all know Ellen loves electronic gadgets.  She would probably love to have the Saeco Xelsis SS Automatic Espresso Machine, Stainless Steel ($2,993) which operates by fingerprint recognition.  Elaine, well, she’s a Tequila connoissuer, so I’m sure she would enjoy a bottle of Gran Patron Platinum ($250 per bottle), or better yet, how about a bottle of Ultra Premium Tequila Ley. 925 “Pasion Azteca”($225,000).

The Collins triplets are three very special ladies, and I wish them a very Happy Birthday.

A Great Christmas in St. Louis

Posted on December 29, 2011 | 9 Comments

I’m heading back to DC today. The time with my family is never long enough, but we’re going to spend more time together in 2012.

I’m at O’Hare airport in Chicago, waiting for my connecting flight to Baltimore. You know I love to shop, so I had to check out the merchandise at several airport shops.  One store had great accessories for electronics such as iPhones, iPads, and computers. Another store, Barbara’s Books, had a very appealing display of business/entrepreneurial books. I didn’t make any purchases because Amazon has everything I need.

Invest in yourself for 2012 with one of the Best Selling items or one or more of the Movers and Shakers at Amazon.

Wishing Everyone A Happy New Year!!

My Best Friend

Posted on December 29, 2011 | 21 Comments

I had lunch with my best friend today.  She took me to a great restaurant called The Fountain on Locust.  I had the most delicious Grand Chocolate Martini (made with homemade ice cream)  and a  Royale Grille (grilled cheese with turkey).

So, who’s my best friend?  Her name is Deborah Miller.  I call her Debbie.  We grew up together on Red Bud Avenue in St. Louis, MO and attended Northwest High School.  It’s been a while since Debbie and I have seen each other, but today was a real treat.  We caught up on everything.  We reminisced about Glenn (Debbie’s husband) taking us to school in his orange Volkswagen Beetle.  I loved that car!!!  We also reminisced about Debbie’s trip to DC to visit me while I was attending Howard University.  We talked about her two beautiful sons, Cory and Chris, and her grandson, Aiden.  Seems Cory and I have similar tastes for Rolex watches and luxury cars.  Debbie and I had a great time today.

So, start the new year right.  Reunite with your childhood best friend, visit The Fountain on Locust for excellent cuisine and fabulous ice cream martinis, click on Rolex watches and purchase a luxury watch for you or someone you love from Time and Gems, and start your own business, for an additional stream of income and tax advantage.

Christmas Eve

Posted on December 25, 2011 | 2 Comments

 


Mom, Joani, Kelvin & Bill

We attended a great party at Jean Turner’s house last night. Something I like about Jean is that she loves to shop.   She’s always sharp when I see her, and her house is finely appointed.

My Mom, Kelvin, and I intended to go to the party for a short period of time, but ended up staying much longer.  Bill joined us a little later.   Everyone was required to bring $5 worth of lottery scratch-offs as a Secret Santa gift and also contribute $5, so everyone received at least a $5 gift.

Jean, Lynn (Jean’s daughter) and several others were busy in the kitchen preparing numerous goodies for dinner.  There was everything you could imagine to drink.  Conversation was flowing and photos were being snapped.  Everyone was having a wonderful time.  Dinner was served, and the seniors were seated at the dining room table.  Kelvin and I headed to the loft with our plates filled with buffalo chicken, cole slaw, potato salad, ham, pork roast, and chili. It was a great party and a great way to spend Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas!!!
