My Coke Rewards Still Rewarding

I was a little frustrated with My Coke Rewards over the NBA game I requested tickets to, but it was more at the customer service than the program itself. Had someone in customer service told me when I called that MCR wouldn't be able to send the tickets, I would've been disappointed, yes, but not irritated. Mistakes happen in any business. I know that. I get it. My beef was that with less than two weeks until the game, they couldn't tell me anything. Even a "Yes, we're going to try to get the tickets," or "No, I'm sorry. It's too late," would've been less frustration.

OK. I've said my peace. (And in the end, we did get the tickets, went to the game and had a nice time.)

All of that aside, I still enjoy the program. I'm giving tickets to an upcoming game to my sister for her birthday, so for no more money than I would've spent on soda anyway, I've celebrated Valentine's Day with my husband AND have a gift for my sister.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.
