May Day

Laura — Fri, 03 May 2013 20:53:09 +0000

Too bad that May Day isn’t celebrated with the May Pole anymore. What a fun way to celebrate the start of a wonderful warm spring season, the month of May is definitely my favorite of all.

Cinco de Mayo however is a huge event, it is most unfortunate that this Boston Bombing scare is going to impact a lot of the usual celebrations and festivities this year, sigh…..

Yoga Ball Yoga Direct

Laura — Wed, 01 May 2013 20:17:57 +0000

It seems that when I get the yogadirect yoga ball that I ordered last week online, I will have just about everything that I think that I need to start taking the yoga classes that I have been seriously eyeballing for some time now. The new Wellness Center in town has become the place to go for so many health and fitness needs and I don’t want to be left out. I all ready do yoga each morning before heading out the door. But I am seriously limited with time and space, so I need to get some type of routine going on, as well as learn some new things, instead of doing the same ol’ same ol’ all the time.

I know that you can get all kinds of yoga information on DVDs as well as online. But I think I would enjoy a class along with other people instead of always in my tiny little living room. The carpet needs to be cleaned and I just keep putting that task off due to other issues needing tending to since Spring is finally here and in full swing. So much to do inside and out, this time of the year.

Let’s Get It Started

I had no idea how many songs the Black Eye Peas had put out that I’m just crazy about. They are so upbeat and always get me bouncing and rocking. I don’t think that they have put out a song that I haven’t enjoyed yet. Thanks YouTube, now let’s get it started!

Portable Digital Recorder

Just the thought of all that the cheap line 6 backtrack portable digital recorder has done for my cousin puts a smile on my face. I didn’t even realize that such a devise existed until I got the Christmas present wish list with his name marked next to mine. Each Christmas my eldest sister organizes the family gift giving ritual, not an easy job considering how extended and dysfunctional my family has become. I’m glad that she has the yearly task and not me.

I love the fact that you can plug this digital recording devise to your guitar and records every note that you play so that you can play it back and hear what it sounded like at your convenience. Now how cool is that?

KISS

Laura — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 01:40:58 +0000

I remember the band by the name of KISS, they really made a statement and how the public went wild about it, they certainly made a big name for themselves and became extremely rich and famous with their hard rock, make-up and special effects that mainly consisted of some sort of fire. And then there is Gene Simmons’s tongue……..

I used to like to watch the reality show that he and his wife and his kids starred in, I think it was called Family Jewels. It’s been so long that I can’t even remember the darned name of the thing, guess it wasn’t all that impressive then.

New and Exciting Wallcovering

Laura — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 21:29:42 +0000

Today has been a good day. I finally got my tax refund direct deposited into my checking account and I am armed and dangerous with this new found money. Of course I am going to be careful and make every single penny count, and I plan on paying off a couple of my credit cards right off. But there are a few projects that I’ve been wanting to start and now is a good time to get started.

I have been eyeballing some really wonderful Wallcovering online that I really want to use in my attempt to redo the dining room. I want my dining area to have a classier look than it currently does. Not that we use it all that often. Usually you can’t find the dinning room table from all the clothes, paperwork and junk that it is used for by everyone in the house. But there are times that we do use it and I’d really like to make a few changes and spring time is a time for all kinds of new and exciting things inside and out. Although I probably won’t get started until the summer time heat that is quickly approaching, but I’ll be inside nice and cool working in the a/c.

N.Y., New York!

Laura — Sat, 13 Apr 2013 04:26:38 +0000

Just got an email from a girl I worked with years ago, we still keep in touch once in awhile on the computer, she was a really nice person to work with and I’m glad that we have remained friendly and in touch.Seems her husband received a job offer that sounds too wonderful an opportunity for them to let slid by. I’m excited for her because the job would entail them to moving to New York and she is originally from that area so it won’t be as stressful as moving to a unknown area like when they moved here in the 90′s.

She tells me that she the new company suggested a few New York real estate agents to assist in their relocation, and she seems pleased with the suggestions that they have come up with so far. It is over a 6 hour long drive to that area, and they will be traveling back and forth for awhile until they find the perfect spot. I’m glad they don’t have kids to deal with yet, it will make it easier, she tells me that once they settle in she intends on trying to start a family. What a great place to grow up in, New York, there is so much to see and do, always something going on 24/7, I am envious of them.

I hope she keeps her promise of keeping in touch, the distance factor shouldn’t matter due to each of us having computers and all. Every day I am thankful for the computer and the Internet, it really has made life easier in so many ways, and keeping in touch with old friends and family members, is the greatest benefit of all – as far as I’m concerned!

Butane Torch Lighter Insert

Laura — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 23:06:58 +0000

Since I am not a smoker, never have been, I am not all that familiar with all the various lighters and their accessories. So when it was suggested that I purchase a butane torch lighter insert I really had no clue what the heck this type of lighter insert was all about. But when I took the time to utilize the Internet for tasks just like this one I found out that you can put this insert into your Zippo which then becomes a power wind-resistant flame that can be used in circumstances that you normally wouldn’t and/or couldn’t without an insert like this one. Pretty cool huh?

I like that it is affordable and will be actually used and appreciated, not like so many gifts end up not doing. What a waste of money.

Can You Smell Spring?

Laura — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 00:54:40 +0000

I can smell it in the air. We are all ready experiencing the April showers that we need for the May flowers and it isn’t even April yet. But that is OK, anything is better than snow at this point. We are expected to get into the 70′s later this week, I’m all for that!

I’m itching to get my hands into the earth and start my gardens and really get into some heavy duty yard work. I enjoy working outside as long as isn’t it freezing outside. I have got some nice Decorative Planters that I want to get going soon that I found online a few months ago. The house that I grew up in had the nicest Window Box Planters in the neighborhood and I have wanted to start my own for a long time, so I’m excited about getting them all going and looking good for the up and coming season.

My mother was always so proud of her handy work outside of the house. I know that she will be proud to see that I’m taking the time to try and get my own house and yard in order. She gave me a very nice High End Planter for Christmas that I plan on placing on the front porch. I just haven’t decided which type of flower(s) that I want to plant there. I still have a little bit of time before having to make a decision. Maybe I’ll ask my mother for her opinion, she likes it when I do that!

Affordable Musical Equipment For The Birthday Boy!

Laura — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 00:32:35 +0000

My younger brother was in a band back in Middle and High school with four of his close friends he grew up with in the neighborhood. Over the years as the grew up, they ended up either going off to college or started a family, but none the less they are still the best of friends and still play music and send it to each other over their iPhone’s. That being said, my younger brother has been talking about how he needed to get an interface to be able to record his audio to share with his friends through his iPod or iPhone.

When he mentioned it, I thought about his birthday that was quickly coming up later in the month, so I jumped onto the computer and looked around for some options that were affordable. the words “buy apogee duet” caught my eye and I clicked on it. It took me to the exact item I had in mind for an unbelievable deal. I just couldn’t say no, so I ordered it and had it shipped to his house. When he had called to tell me he had received his gift, I was thrilled to hear how excited he was to have it. I nailed it, he’s been bragging ever since, and is sharing music more then ever to his friends and many more.
