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.

This is a great photo that I ran across on Yahoo that really caught my attention and I wanted to post here. I wouldn’t want to be any where near this storm!

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.

Let The Games Begin

I just heard that the Redskins are gearing up for tomorrow which will be their first pre-season game of this up and coming professional football season. I can’t believe that football season is so close to starting all ready. Next thing you know it will be Thanksgiving and then of course Christmas will be consuming us all in no time. Really the only good thing about fall and winter is football, I’m glad that I have subscribed to the sunday ticket with my satellite provider, Direct TV. I always enjoy having friends over on Sunday’s for a good game and a good time with plenty of munchies and loads of cold beer. I have a good sized flat screen TV that makes watching the games a much better experience then it was before I invested in a big screen like I did.

My good friend, Donna from work also enjoys football, she has the Cox cable sports package and she likes to have people over on Monday for the Monday games, so it works out real well for everyone involved. We have a lot in common, other than just working at the same place and we have become pretty darn good friends these past couple of years.

So which ever is the most convenient – be it cable sports or satellite sports between the two of us we’ve got it covered. I hope the Redskins start the year with a major win over the Buffalo Bills, guess we will find out tomorrow, let the games begin!

Become.com is Becoming

I’ve never been much on worrying about brand names. I know what I like and what I don’t like, a name attached to something doesn’t make it or break it for me. My sister on the other hand is crazy about things like that. Right now she is re doing her master bedroom and master bathroom and has fallen in love with the Candice Olson furniture that she has found online. She is quite good in finding great deals online and has found a cool website called become.com that brings power shopping to your finger tips with price comparison and  product reviews, which is a great product shopping and research tool for online shoppers that are becoming more and more popular each year.

She found become.com when she was pregnant and was looking for the best baby related products that she could find while waiting at home, on bed rest for the last 2 months of her pregnancy. She had twins and it was hard on her then and still hard on her now three years later and she still has 15 years to go. LOL

I’ve used become.com a few times myself. I found some great women’s jewelry by using their search engines. I usually buy most of my costume jewelry at the thrift stores or the local flea markets. But when I find a company that has low prices and has free shipping I’ll keep buying online and not deal with crowds at these various markets.

Cable Channels

I’m so glad that I have a good amount of channels available on my current cable package. Lately I’ve been watching more and more shows on the Syfy Channel, but The Comedy Channel is still my favorite. I’m always in the mood for a good laugh……

Less Can Be More

My best friend is very pleased with her new make up products that she ordered online. They are the Bare Escentuals Products that I have seen advertised on TV in the middle of the night from time to time. See says that you only have to use the bare minimum and that it is good for your skin. You can even sleep with it on and it doesn’t mess up your skin like other heavy make up does.

I’m thinking next time I have a few extra bucks that I’ll check into as well. I’m sick of my make up regiment and am due for a change.

Security Equipment

My Dad is so upset due to watching so many news programs day in and day out. He sees all of the really bad and negative stuff that is blasted on the boob tube and he really gets stressed out, bless his heart. I wish that he would watch more comedy programs and bring some laughter into his life. His major concern right now is all of the home break ins that are on the increase. So many people are getting desperate for money that they are turning to crime in order to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. And that isn’t even touching the drug problems that many people now have because of all of the issues with our lovely economy.

Dad wants me to look into one of the ADT security systems that he has been reading about. There are many homes that are now sporting one of ADT’s yard signs indicating that they have a security system installed for their protection. He thinks that I should have a top notch security video camera for my safety, while I think a big dog would probably do the job just as well.

He has just now sent me the link that talks about their backup battery and equipment guide so that I can become familiar with the products and their current promotions. I know his intentions are good and I love him for it, so I will look it over and see what it is all about and report back to him as soon as possible. I gotta keep my Dad happy. He is the only one that I have.

You Go Girl, But Did You Have To Go So Far…….

I wasn’t quite sure what my good friend was talking about in her latest email. She moved to Australia last year and we have kept our close relationship close via IMing and emails. She was talking about funeral funds nsw and income insurance in last week’s email. So I asked her to send me the link to which she was referring to. She is trying to find and purchase the best life insurance possible and is still fumbling around a bit in a country that is so foreign to her.

It took a lot of guts for her to move so far away from all of her family and friends and I have to give her credit for being so brave. I can’t imagine doing something so drastic like that, but would love to be given the chance cause I think that it would be very tempting indeed.

Since she is so far away she really wants to make sure that she has the best insurance possible and has been researching on the Internet to see what she can find online. Things are a lot different in the “Land Down Under” and it is becoming a challenge for her but I’m sure she will succeed given some time.
