In Minnesota depending on the city you live in the stores close at either 8, 9 or 10pm Mon-Thursday and usually all are open til 10pm on Friday & Saturday. And of course they are closed on Sunday. I think it's crazy the number of people who drive over the border to Wisc. on Sundays - it's called planning ahead people.
But I guess that just me.
Anyways, in the city I live in we have city owned liquor stores (open til 8 M-Th. and til 10 Friday & Saturday) and one that's just across the street (open til 10 everyday) that's independently owned. They both have a great amount of variety and quality product and the city store is priced quite well. I tend to go to the city owned store more cause my beer I like is a dollar cheaper there. We do have beer for sell at gas stations and grocery stores but I'd never buy it there - it's slightly less alcohol content and only sold in six packs, so why not just make the trip to a liquor store.

It's amazing to see about how all these different states handle alcohol sales. I've lived my adult life in Minnesota and have travel a bit in the states but guess I didn't even notice. Actually I remember being in New York and being able to buy regular beer at like a Duane Reede. But overall I don't buy too much just a twelve pack every month and a bottle of wine for some friends here and there.

The napkin idea is so cute. My brother & sister-in-law waited until Mother's Day and when they gave our mom their gift it was a pair of baby socks. Amazingly it took her a couple seconds to get it, but it was a cute idea too.

I bought on for my niece last year and she loves it - we put on puppet shows all the time. She designed it herself too. I've been wanting to get another one, cause they are just so cute.

I take care of my niece and nephew (during the day) and love taking photos (all the time). I got the quickpod a little over a year ago -- it's great. I set the timer and my 6yr old nephew goes and checks out the angle. It has a tiny mirror on it, but he likes to make sure it's perfect. It is really handy. I also comes with a tiny tripod. I thought I paid $20 for it, so it was priced well -- I use quite often.

the bottle cap tripod seems like a smart idea, everyone has a bottle when out and about. Only problem is when you are about empty wouldn't it tip over with the weight of the camera. That would worry me on that one
