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?





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?

Oh what a headache!

by

I’ve barely posted on any of my many blogs over the last two days. On Wednesday I woke up with a severe migraine. I’d been headachey the night before, but I thought a good sleep would make it go away. It didn’t.

My headache just got worse and worse throughout the day. I just lay on the couch unable to get up.

I’m so grateful that we have a crate for our puppy. She ended up being in the crate most of the day because of my migraine. If we didn’t have a crate or if she’d been out she would have been jumping on me all day and making me feel worse. Don’t worry. I did let her out twice during the day and she had lunch too. She wasn’t totally deprived!

I still had a bit of headache on Thursday when I awoke and I guess it stayed with me most of the day but it was a lot better than the day before!

I haven’t had a headache that bad for a long time! I don’t know if I was fighting something or if the headache came on as a result of the strange weather we’ve been having here. On Wednesday we had snow and an ice storm all day and today we’re expecting a LOT of snow.

What do you do when you get a bad headache? Or are you like my mother in law and you’ve never had one?

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.

Minty Feet – now that’s refreshing!

by

Wow. What a great idea!

Everyone gets stinky feet every now and then don’t they? If you’re on your feet most of the day, wear nylons or socks with synthetic materials in them you’re bound to work up a little sweat between your toes and as we all know this can be the cause of some mighty stinky feet.

Well, the Japanese have come up with a great idea. It’s a pad that you put in your shoe. As you walk on the sponge through the day mint fumes are pumped into the shoe.

You’re feet will be, literally, minty fresh.

I need to get something like this for my husband!
