Crib Round Up
Ashley Furniture Home Store in Cordova is helping fight the infant mortality rate in Memphis.
They are doing a Crib Round Up. Donate your Crib to them and they will give it to Le Bonheur who will pass it on to a family in need.
Not only will they get your old crib to a family that needs it, they will also give you a $100 off the purchase of a new child’s bed.
This is a great idea. I hope they get a lot of cribs donated.
Saturday November 14th – 10am to 2pm is the official donation time.
Here is their commercial…

Improv Everywhere: Grocery Store Musical
This is not Improv Everywhere’s best “spontaneous” musical, even though it is fun, but the candid reactions they included at the end of this one were by far the best.
I love watching people experience these moments. Especially the people who really want to watch, but are already in line checking out and could not imagine letting someone pass them in the check out lane! HA!

InPulse Blackberry Smartwatch
If I had a Blackberry, and $150, I would probably buy this watch.
The InPulse Blackberry Smartwatch ($150). It connects wirelessly via Bluetooth to your Blackberry, letting you discreetly check emails, texts, and Twitter updates without busting out the phone. The InPulse sports a 1.3-inch full color OLED display, a built-in vibrating motor, and a rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery.
