What They Call A Perfect Comeback

Took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes.

I noticed he was watching someone walking next to him

The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors – green, red, orange & blue – and my dad kept staring at her.

The teen would look over and find my dad staring, every time.

When she’d finally had enough, she sarcastically asked:

“What’s the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?”

Knowing my Dad as I do, I quickly swallowed my food so I wouldn’t choke on his response – I knew he’d have a good one!

In classic style, he responded without batting an eyelid:

“Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my daughter.”

Eye Wear from Zenni Optical

Wow, I’m impressed with the idea and the feature that Zenni Optical has come out with. They now have a way for us to see what we will look like with the glasses that they have for sale with their virtual try on frames program. All you do is upload a picture of yourself and start choosing what frames you want to see on yourself. Now how cool is that?

The price of eyeglasses varies from place to place with some places charging an arm and a leg for their products. Zenni Optical is known for their affordable prices on their wide variety of eye wear and they just reduced more of their glasses from $8 a pair to $6.95 so that is promising in a time where the prices of just about everything are sky rocketing right before our eyes.

My eyesight is very important to me, bad eyes run in the family and I’ve had to wear eye glasses since the 4th grade. I’d love to have the laser eye surgery at some point, but I have to wait for the prices to come down some before I try that. The prices are dropping so one day I hope to have all most perfect eyesight once again and won’t have to worry about eye glasses ever again. That will be a nice change. In the mean time I’ll stick with Zenni Optical and their products. Now I just need to take a picture of myself and get the party started!

Pit Bulls & The Weather on TV

I’m so glad that “Pit Bulls and Parolees” is back once again on The Animal Planet Channel. I wish that I had known about the show two years ago when it first came on, but I did see all of last years. There are a lot of re runs on that I’ve managed to see and I’ve been waiting for tonight’s episode to come on, so I’m off to Reality Show Land for the evening and keeping an eye on the weather channel as well. We are expecting a huge snow storm, but we will see how it turns out tomorrow.

Did Anyone Lose A Cat?

This is one of the better animal pictures that can be found on the Internet. Most of the animal pictures are of cats and dogs, although I’m sure you can find just about any type of animal online. So I had a giggle or two looking at it and wanted to post it along here today.

The Christmas List

I appreciate the guest post, Lindsay Valdez

Christmas shopping doesn’t have to be hectic or stressful. It can be a lot of fun when there’s a clear picture of what you want to buy and the budget you need to stick to in order to make sure everyone gets what they want for Christmas. Gifts should always be thoughtful and personal to the person you’ve bought them for. The Christmas list is one of the most powerful tools for making Christmas shopping the kind of smooth process you need, and want, it to be during the holidays. As you master the list and learn how to use it to quicken the shopping process, you’ll find that you won’t be one of the unfortunate people that has to rush to buy gifts during the holidays.

When you leave your home, set your securitychoice home security alarm and prepare to have the smoothest shopping trip of your life. Before Christmas even begins, make out a wishlist of things you want to get for people. By doing this, you learn quickly if those items are going to be available and if there’s anything better for you to buy the people you love. Preparing ahead saves you plenty of time in the end, and you’ll be thankful that you did this once you get out there and see the crowds of Christmas shoppers that didn’t think of this step.

Facebook vs. MySpace

I had a friend over today and she took the time to show me around her Facebook pages and taught me a few things that will be good to know when I finally decide to plunge in and open my own account. I have to say that I think MySpace is a lot cooler, so I’m not sure what all the fuss is about with Facebook.

First Snow of the Winter

I appreciate the guest post, Jamie Guy

While most people enjoy the warm summer months, which provide many outdoor recreational opportunities, I personally enjoy the winter months and am always very excited for the first snow of the winter. During the winter months, there are many fun activities that can keep people active. With the first snow of winter, I enjoy going to the local and play football with my friends. Playing football in the snow is a lot of fun because falling to the ground or being tackled is not nearly as painful.

Also, I enjoy the first snow of winter because it is a lot of fun for my dog. My dog enjoys playing in the snow and can remain active for hours at a time without being bored or running out energy. While the first snow of winter does create a lot of fun and great memories, it does wear me out after a long period of time. After playing in the snow for a few hours I enjoy going inside and relaxing by the fire while watching my satellite television.

Gift Suggestions

My youngest sister Becky has emailed me desperate for some gift suggestions for our eldest sister (Briannah) who moved away years ago to the great state of Maine. Becky and Briannah didn’t really get a chance to establish much of a relationsip due to the large gap in ages and then living so far apart, so Becky is stuck with trying to figure out what would be a good gift to send to Briannah. So I’ve been spending some time looking around at all the various sites that sell good quality shoe, since Briannah has always been a shoe freak.

I have ordered several items from Zappos.com in the past and have always been very happy with the experiences and the products that I’ve ordered. Cole Haan has always had some awesome shoes, clothing and accessories that I’ve enjoyed and I’m sure that our sister Briannah would appreciate and enjoy their Cole Haan Air Melanie Rain Boots since she is always complaining about the cold and wet weather that she deals with up in Maine. It makes me wonder why she moved to such a cold environment the way she carries on about the cold.

Anway, Zappos offers free shipping both ways and guarantees delivery before Christmas, so I hope that my suggestion will make both of my sisters happy for the up and coming Christmas holiday that will be here before you know it.

Check out these Cole Haan Air Melanie Root Boots, aren’t they awesome looking?

Laundry

My best friend waits until Saturday to do her laundry. I just don’t get why anyone would wait all week to do their laundry and forfeit a whole day to take card of laundry issues. I try and get one load done a day, that way I have my weekends free for things that I want to do.

So You Think You Can Dance

I really enjoy dancing and even love watching dancing, any type of dance, it’s all good. So it’s so cool that there are so many TV shows featuring dance. Tonight’s “So You Think You Can Dance” was spectacular. There is so much great talent out there that are getting a rare opportunity to show it off.
