Getting an iPod – which one should I buy?

by

Now that Spring is almost here I know I’ll be getting outside more often. Actually I’ve been outside a lot this winter thanks to our puppy! Last winter there were days I didn’t go out at all, especially when it was really cold or snowing simply because I didn’t have to, but this year I had to go outside each day several times to walk the dog and or to step outside with her so that she could do her business.

Our puppy is getting older too so our walks will soon be longer. She’ll be able to endure longer walks and so will I! So … I’ve been thinking about finally getting an iPod. Can you believe that we don’t have one yet? Are we the last people around to not have an iPod or what?

I think I’ll enjoy listening to music as I walk the dog.

I’m going to see if I can find any deals at directbuy. I know the older models have come down in price, but really I’m lost … I don’t know what kind of iPod to buy. I’m not really interested in one of the video capable models. I’ll be walking and I don’t think I can watch a video and walk the dog at the same time.

We have a large music collection that I could transfer to the iPod so I guess I’ll need one with a fair amount of space.

So … what kind of iPod should I get?





Pampered Puppy

by

We have a very pampered puppy.

She has so many toys it’s not funny. I jokingly call her my yuppy. She’s even got two doggy beds. Of course the one that’s in her crate has to be removed during the day because she’s still teething and lately she’s taken to chewing on everything again – including her doggy bed!

A couple of months ago I ordered her a new doggy bed from a Canadian company called Mammoth. Our dog is a Labrador Retriever and her first doggy bed is a donut shape and it’s only about two feet long. Midnight is 6 months old now and she just fits in the original doggy bed. It will be too small soon … so, as I was saying a couple of months ago I ordered her a new bed, one that will be more than big enough even when she’s fully grown.

I think the new bed is about 40 inches around! It’s huge! Oh and it’s filled with a memory foam mattress or well maybe not a mattress but memory foam. It’s so soft! She really is pampered! I wish my bed were that comfortable!

The new bed is too big to fit in the crate. Well we could cram it in, but we probably won’t do that. Right now it’s in our living room on the floor in front of the TV and it’s filled with her toys and a real bone that she likes to gnaw on.

I think we’ve finally got enough things to keep our dog happy for a long time. Well unless she goes nuts and destroys all her toys, that is!

Do you pamper your dog or cat? Does your pet have more toys than you did when you were a kid?

I need another trip to Vegas

by

Lately I keep thinking about our trip to Las Vegas last November and how much I enjoyed the sites and sounds of Vegas. I’m starting to think about planning another trip. Soon.

Perhaps it’s all the bad weather we’ve had this winter and the snow that just keeps falling this week, but I really think I need a holiday. I think it’s time I took a look at some Las Vegas hotels and perhaps book a room for a weekend or even a week!

When I was in Vegas in the fall I wasn’t well at all. There’s no guarantee that I’ll be ok if I go again, but it would sure be nice to feel ok and have some fun there. I did have fun on my trip but it would have been a lot better if I’d been feeling great. My husband on the other hand had a great time! On our first night he had to have the security guards help him find our room! I’d stayed out with some friends in a restaurant for a while when he headed back to our room after having a little tooooo much to drink!

If I do go on a trip to Vegas in the near future I’ll certainly try to stay in a different hotel than we stayed in last November. I didn’t like that hotel at all. Anyone have any suggestions?

Those late night commercials

by

Do you ever find that when you’re watching TV late at night there’s more commercials for diet products, weight loss companies, Insurance for older adults and even burial policy insurance? There’s also a lot more commercials that are similar to infomercials yet almost as short as a normal commercial.

You have to wonder why you only see these commercials late at night or in the early morning hours don’t you? I’m sure commercial time is cheaper during those hours, but you have to wonder about some of the companies that advertise during those time periods too.

One time, when I’d first moved into my apartment many many years ago I was up late and I got caught up watching one of those late night commercials. I ended up ordering a set of pots and pans. I needed them as I’d just moved to my first apartment … but oh what a disappointment! The pots were made of aluminum or some other very light, very thin metal and they were brutal to use! LOL

Have you bought anything after watching a TV commercial and then regretted the purchase?

Working on new sites

by

I haven’t been feeling very well over the last few days, but as I’ve felt up to it I’ve been trying to work on some of my new sites.

One of my new sites is a home and garden related blog. I’ve already got a gardening blog where I try to mostly write about garden related topics but I’ve found over the last year that more and more home decor and home reno posts have made their way there so that’s why I created a new blog. The new blog will likely have more home than garden topics.

Another new site that I’m working on is shopping related. There I’ll talk about the latest fashion and make up styles, plus I’ll do posts about home decor, furnishings, appliances and give tips on how to get things done in and around the home so much easier.

I’m sure there’ll be lots of posts of interest between the two blogs and I hope that you’ll come to visit them when I’m ready to reveal their urls. No, don’t worry – the posts won’t be just wrinkle cream reviews although I expect when I talk about cosmetics I will discuss some skin creams. There should be quite a variety of topics and I’m sure that you’ll like the sites.
