I hope we renovate our basement soon

by

Yesterday I was invited to enter into a special partnership with a company that calls itself a private online shopping club. I decided to take the company up on it’s offer and join as there seems to be some benefits to me such as big discounts on trendy clothing and high quality furniture if I were interested in buying as well as referral fees.

As I was looking around the site I saw some beautiful leather home theater seating, similar to a few of the sets shown on that page.

It caught my eye because when we get around to finishing our basement I think we might set it up as a home theater. Right now we’ve got our big screen HD TV in the living room, but I have other plans for the joined living room dining room and it’s always been our plan to move the TV downstairs. So why not really do it up and create a beautiful home theater room?

I know our renovation is probably a year or more in the future, but I can’t help trying to plan ahead of time!





I was clueless for a minute or two

by

Earlier I was visiting a friends blog and she was talking about how she and her family had managed to get Miley Cyrus tickets.

I thought that was great as it sounded like something that she and her family could do together but for the life of me I didn’t clue into who Miley Cyrus was until just a moment ago.

She’s Hanna Montana … Billy Ray Cyrus’ daughter.

Since we don’t have kids we don’t keep up with what’s hot in the world of teens. Call me clueless but that’s my excuse!

I was on a roll

I was on such a roll yesterday. Blogging away on almost all my blogs like I haven’t done for a while. No, I wasn’t feeling better, but I suddenly had a lot more energy than I’ve had for a while and I got a lot of work done.

It felt good.

Now here I am, still blogging away, but behind! I really wish that I’d get my Wordless Wednesday posts up one day by midnight.

I still have a few posts to catch with though so it will be a little while before I get to post some photos that I find intriguing. Speaking of photos … I still have a whole slew on my digital camera that I have to upload to my computer – really great photos! Ah, when will I find the time to work on them?

I just gave myself a virtual makeover

by

If you’re tired of wearing the same make up that you have for years or if you think it’s time to try a different hairstyle or perhaps try a different hair color you’ve got to visit this Virtual Makeover site.

I’ve spent the last half hour trying all the different options and having a great time!

The Virtual Makeover site allows you to upload a photo of yourself and try out different hair styles, hair colors and highlights, hair lengths, a whole slew of cosmetics such as lipstick, lip gloss, lipliner, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, blush, and nail polish. Heck you can even see how you would look if your teeth were whiter!

You can sign up for a free account or you can pay for a membership that would give you access to the full line of services and options for anywhere from 3 months to 12 months. Just to give you an example a 12 month membership is only $29.95 which comes to only $2.49 per month.

Since I was just checking out the site I tried the virtual makeover using a free account. I couldn’t upload my own photo with the free account, but I found a photo of a lady who had similar features and experimented with that.

I have wavy short hair now so I tried a few different looks with medium and long hair, and then I tried out a few different lipsticks – changing the lip shape too as I went. Then I moved on to eye shadow, liner and mascara as well as blush.

I found a look that I liked with medium wavy dark blond hair so I then went to the accessory area to try on hats, jewelry and sunglasses.

If I had a membership and was able to upload my own photo I’d probably still be on the site trying things out. It was fun.

Oh and when you are trying the various cosmetics the site tells you what the product line is and the exact name of the color that you are trying so if you were to find something that you really liked you’d be able to purchase it the next time you were out shopping.

Go get a virtual makeover!

Grumbly rainy day

by

Another day goes by and I still have a headache? Well it’s been pouring rain all day – scratch that – it’s been pouring rain since 1 am so maybe the rain has something to do with my headache and generally sour mood today?

Chris has the day off work and he was kind enough to go down to the passport office for me to try to get them to fix the error on my new passport. Remember they gave me a different birthplace. Uh huh. I’m really pleased with that since I’m going out of the country in two weeks! They did tell my husband that they’d put a rush on it and that my new passport would be available for pick up in two days. I just hope the new one doesn’t have any errors.

Since Chris is home today we were going to go out and get our hair cut and I wanted to do a little more shopping for my upcoming trip to Las Vegas, but I’m just not feeling up to going out and battling the crowds.

I didn’t tell you about the run in – literally – that I had with two women who budded in front of me in line at Walmart on Sunday did I? I’ll tell you about that one later. Some people are so darn rude!
