The mall

I went to the mall today to do a little shopping and found out some really good deals. Most of the time I stay away from the mall as it used to be so expensive, but not anymore. It seems like the higher end stores are trying to compete with the major chains like Walmart and the sales are better then Walmart, Target or even Kmart. I was pleasantly surprised. I was able to buy a bunch of stuff I didn’t even intend to get, because I saved so much on what I went there for.

I do believe that I will have to make trips to the mall more often now that I know it is worth it. I know that the kids will love that. I have a feeling that we will be going there a lot now. lol

The Band Perry

This is such a pretty song, by The Band Perry. I really like their music a lot. They are a relatively new band, having only been around for about a year or so. At least that is how long it’s been since I first heard of them. I thought this song kind of goes along with all the wedding planning going on.

Wine wedding favors

Oh these are really cool. They are Wine wedding favors that are wine stoppers with heart shapes at the top of them. They are really classy. There are several different styles, like the snow flake one, or the one that looks like a martini glass. I didn’t know that there were this kind of wedding favors available. I told you that I am obsessed with the wedding favors. I just keep finding all kinds of neat stuff. My kids think I am crazy because I keep looking through them, but I don’t mind. If I ever get married again, I will have a good idea of what I want for that wedding.

I already know that I would want an elegant wedding, not just your run of the mill one. I have so many ideas, that my daughter will be hard pressed when she grows up to be able to plan her own wedding without my interference. That sounds bad, but I mean it in a good way. After all, I am a mother and we only want what is best for our children. Nothing but the best is good enough for mine and I freely admit it. Okay, back to work. Later gators!

Already over

I cannot believe this year is almost over already. It seems like it passed by so very fast. 2013 will be here in another month. I hope that it is better then this past year has been. This year has been difficult for everyone, I know. I am looking forward to a new year. I have high hopes for work and life in general. I am planning a vacation, because I am way over due for one. I think that somewhere in the Bahamas or the Caribbean in general will be just what I need. So Happy Holidays to all and now it is time to think about my Christmas shopping list. Later Gators.

A Peek at New Ideas

There are a couple dozen web sites and blogs that I hop around and read. This is more enjoyable to me than reading a newspaper, which is usually about doom and gloom. The blogs that I read are uplifting and inspiring although often in a technical way. But I enjoy reading the thought processes and new ideas that the writers present or discuss.

For example, the blog about Flash Streamworks might sound too technical to enjoy reading on a casual basis. But take a look at their entry about a puppy cam. Now that’s inspiring to me. Imagine including this type of video link in a Craigslist ad for the puppies you want to sell. Or if you are a puppy breeder or even a shelter, including a live puppy can on your website would surely attract new homes for the puppies.

These are the kinds of ideas that get me excited about computers and technology!

Shopping for Themes

Have been to trying to learn my way around the blogosphere and get up to speed so I can do some funthings with this blog. One thing I’d like to do is change the skin, or the looks of the pages. That is called “themes” in blog-speak.

A lot of sites claim to offer free WordPress themes and I’ve looked at several of them. But then I read on forums that some of these free themes have hidden malicious links or backdoors and that makes me nervouse. If anyone has a good, trustworthy site with free WordPress themes, I’d appreciate it very much if you share that info with me here.

Thanks a lot!
