Rethinking the Podcasts

Back in September, I wrote about finding free podcasts, to which I listen when I'm walking for exercise or working on my beading projects.

One of the ones I mentioned was "Tank Riot." I've since deleted my subscription to that one because it's very long; most episodes are close to three hours. And while it can be very interesting, the hosts kind of get off track several times during each episode. Their detours can be interesting, too, however, I'm more of a "make your point" kind of a listener.

I found another, called "Who's Paying Attention?" hosted by Alonzo Bodden. I became a fan of Bodden's years ago when he was on "Last Comic Standing," but again, much like "Tank Riot," his podcast, while funny, is a little too rambling for my taste. I've only listened to a couple of episodes so far, and I plan to give it a little longer, but I think its time on my iPod is nearing an end.

The good news is, there are lots of other podcasts out there that are also free. The bad news is that I'd have to sort through a lot of them before I find ones that are to my liking.

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.
