Time to shop for new clothes

by

I think I’m going to go shopping for some new clothes this weekend. I know for sure that whatever I do I’m going to get my haircut! My hair just grows like a weed and it seems like in the last week it’s become unmanageable so if it continues to grow like this it’s going to be a shaggy mess in a couple of weeks … or at least it will feel like that to me.

So … a hair cut and some shopping are in my plans for the weekend. There’s this urban clothes shop that I’ve been wanting to check out at the mall .. so this might be the perfect opportunity. My husband needs some clothes too. I guess it’s that time of year – a new season so time for new clothes.

Are you starting to feel the need to do some clothes shopping too? Is it just because it’s spring?





Doing my friends make up for her wedding

by

I got a call earlier today from one of my friends. She’s getting married in July and she wants me to do her make up for the wedding. I used to be a make up artist – never professionally but I do have my make up artist certificate and I’ve done the make up for several of my friends and sister in laws weddings so I guess I do I pretty good job if I keep getting asked. It probably doesn’t hurt that I don’t charge too much either.

Anyway …. my friend now wants all kinds of skin care tips. Everything from the best blackhead removal lotions to what kind of moisturizer she should use each night. So … I think I’m going to write up so basic skin care do’s and don’ts for her so that she can get working on things.

Have you ever been asked to do something for a wedding that’s a little out of the ordinary .. I mean rather than being a bridesmaid etc … ?

So many potholes and cracks in the city streets this year

by

It was so much colder this past winter than it usually is here in Toronto that now our roads seem to have more pot holes than they usually do. Big ones!

Even right in front our our house … I started noticing big cracks as early as October when it first started getting quite cold and now after a cold and snowy winter there are about ten big cracks on the road in front of our house. Of course .. with all those cracks every time cars go over them our house shakes, especially when it’s really cold outside for some reason … so I’m hoping the city comes by and repairs the street some time soon!

Actually … the news has been talking about the increase in potholes quite a bit too. Some of the potholes in the city are so big that cars are actually getting damaged. I’ll bet those car owners are looking for cheap auto insurance now.

Did you’re city get a lot more pot holes than usual this past winter due to the extra moisture and extreme cold? Does your city repair pot holes quickly or does it take them forever?

Trying to digitize our old records

by

Earlier today my husband and I were out shopping. We went out stores like Best Buy and Future shop in the hopes of finding cables and software that would help us connect our turntable to our computer so that we can start to record our old records and digitize the music.

We didn’t find much that would help us though. Just a lot of software and items to promote your business rather than audio software. I think we’re going to have to do our shopping online for this specialty item. I know it’s something we can do … we just need to have the right RCA hook ups and software.

Have you ever attached an old turntable to your computer in order digitize old records? If so .. what equipment and software did you use to do that?

Planning an Easter Party

by

This year seems to just be flying by! It wasn’t until I was in a store last weekend, hurrying along to get my shopping done, when I noticed that the store had Easter candy and Easter related decorations at the end of their aisles – ready for sale.

The next store I went into had their Easter goodies out too. I guess the end of February was the weekend to get all the things out for the next big holiday.

I didn’t realize how few weeks there are until Easter! My sister in law and I are having a party for my niece and her friends for Easter so we’d better get working on planning the party. I was actually just browsing Personal Creations – Easter baskets ideas for kids and I think if I spend some time on that site I’ll have our little Easter party put together in no time at all.

Are you doing anything for Easter? Do you have any kids to celebrate Easter with? I love decorating eggs and setting the kids off on an egg hunt. It’s so much fun.
