These are some new things I recently purchased. Yay for reviving the American economy.

Perhaps the coolest one is the glass jar I got from Cole Hardware to store my coffee beans. The point is to get them out of the stupid bags they come in keep them dry and fresh... so not letting any moisture in. I am so far happy with my purchase. It's got a rubber seal so it makes me feel like it's extra air tight.

The next thing I got was really more of a necessity than anything else.. it's an electric heater from Bionaire that I got at Costco. The total was $48, so I'm saying to myself, honestly if it doesn't work I can just bring it back and not worry. My house is permanently freezing because of stupid SF weather and the lack of ANY usable heating appliance. So if this one works and can actually heat a room, I will be going back and getting more.
