- Action Flicks for Chicks
- Girls like movies that blow up, too! Now you can try those action flicks before you buy them, and get them delivered to your door.
- Tommie - Kimberly's Cat
- My baby's lens has all proceeds set to go to the Humane Society. Since not everyone is interested in buying something, such as a cat toy, I threw in the Netflix module as an alternative way for them to support Tommie's cause.
- Kimberly's Christmas Wish List
- I put an "upgraded" Netflix subscription on my wish list with compelling reasons why it was just as good or better than getting DVD's. ;)
