I’m going to try to get all my holiday shopping done online

November 5, 2007 by Tricia

This year I think that I might try to do most of my holiday shopping online. I really don’t like shopping in crowded malls in November and December. Do you?

One of the sites that I hope to use when shopping is CouponChief. They have deals and coupon codes listed for thousands of online stores. If I’m able to find stores that ship to my area (Canada) I’ll barely have to walk into a department store.

There are a number of Linens and things coupon codes, as well Pottery Barn deals and I know I can get some fantastic gifts for my relatives at those stores.

With the thousands of coupons listed at Couponchief I should be able to get gifts for everyone on my list or at least I hope that I will! If you’re going to be doing some of your holiday shopping online don’t forget to check out Couponchief too.

An interesting bud

I always thought that this was an interesting picture of a rose bud. I took this photo a couple of years ago. The rose is Just Joey, a rose that has truly lovely very large blooms, and a scent that’s worthy of taking a moment to smell.

This weeks theme is Classic

This rose, Double Delight, is a true classic. It’s been a well loved, much planted hybrid tea rose in many a garden over the years.

Not only is this rose popular in modern gardens, it’s a true classic beauty.

I want to start traveling more

November 2, 2007 by Tricia

Speaking of traveling, if my husband doesn’t get too panicked while flying next week, and if my ears make it through, I’d like to start doing a lot more traveling. After all, when I purchased our tickets and hotel package for Vegas we ended up getting a membership with a travel club. I figure we might as well take advantage of the deals on packages, flights and hotel stays if we’re up for it.

I’ve never been to New York city so I’m picturing us going there for at least a long weekend, maybe a trip to Chicago on another extended weekend to see Chris’ brother and various other short vacations here and there too. Who knows, maybe we’ll even take a trip out west to Vancouver to see my brother and some of our friends too.

Can you tell that I’m sick of being cooped up in this house! Uh huh. Trying being sick for two years. I’ve got a yearning to travel, or well – just get out of here for a while.

One place that might be nice to visit is Pigeon Forge cabins in the Smokie mountains. The cabins look beautiful with hot tubs outdoors and beautiful scenery from every window. Perhaps we could make it a ski vacation?

Now that’s a laugh. The super klutz wants to go skiing. I’ll probably come back with a broken leg!

Strange talking cats

November 2, 2007 by Tricia

You’ve got to see the post my husband put up on Odd Planet earlier today. It’s so funny!

It’s a video called “the best of talking cats” and wow, the cats really do sound like they are saying words like Hello, Mommy and well one sounds like it can talk in garbled sentences. I think the same cat gets really excited and makes a lot of noise when it gets pet too.

I love taking a stroll over to Youtube and finding cool videos like that. Perhaps I’ll visit again later tonight and see if I can find some more good ones for this site.
