I need some new glasses

Yes I wear eyeglasses because I hate contacts.  They really bother my eyes so it’s glasses for me.  The best part of wearing prescription eyeglasses is you can now have more than one pair to go with your mood or your wardrobe.  You know how women are, they are never happy with just one of anything.  Did you know that you can find eyeglasses online at really great prices? Well you can and one of my favorite places to find them is ausspecs.   Eye Glasses should be more than just something to help you see better, they should show your style or personality too.

My father always called them Spectacles and I love it when he called them that.  I still smile when I see or hear that word because he was the only person I knew personally that called glasses spectacles.  Anyway, I just get a written prescription when I go to the eye doctor and then go to my favorite web site and I can get 2 pair of eyeglasses for $99.  They have beautiful stylish frames  and you can even get anti-reflective coating for free on them.  I also got tinted sunglasses.  That’s not all you can get either.  They deliver within a week and I won’t buy my glasses from my eye doctor anymore because he can’t match the prices at all.

My cousin is getting married, finally!!!

She and her guy have been engaged for about 5 years now I think it is and they finally decided to go ahead and get married. Everyone keeps saying “It’s about time!!” She has a beautiful engagement ring but he didn’t purchase wedding rings when he got it so now they have to find a set of wedding bands they like. She was telling me about an online store they were looking at where they could get the rings they pick out the very next day, has a great selection of over 200 wedding bands and great service too. She showed me the ones she thinks they’re getting and they were absolutely beautiful!!!

A web host can make or break your site

I have found out the hard way that the web host you choose can make or break your web site.  Even it’s just a blog site, you want people to be able to access it at any time so your choice of web host is very important.  The way I chose my web host was by researching web hosting online.  They do all of the research for you.  They will tell you which ones are the best for blogs, ecommerce sites or whatever you are looking for.  They even will break them down by which is the best web host for your money so you can’t go wrong that way.

Stocks might be scary right now

With all of the mess dealing with the stock market and the banks not doing so well either, online trading might be the last thing you would want to consider.  Well it’s never too late to get started saving for retirement either and I’m sure a lot of people have lost a lot of their retirement they thought was secure.  I have heard a lot of economist say that now is the time to buy stocks.  Maybe you should check into online trading.

I’ve been checking into an online broker and have learned a lot about stocks from them.  I honestly wish I knew and understood more but these guys are working real hard to help me understand all of this.  Stock trading was always my fathers thing and when I had questions, he would explain it to me.  Since he’s gone now, I have to trust someone else and I think I have found them.  Maybe they have something to offer you too.  It’s worth a shot to at least check it out.

Sometimes I hate my computer!

You’re sitting in front of this thing that holds so much of your life within it just typing along and all of a sudden…………..nothing.  I have had this happen to me and I was absolutely horrified.  I called the computer manufacturer, the store I purchased my computer from and even my friendly computer geek and no one could help me.  I thought for sure all was lost and that was just hard for me to cope with.  Sure I back up everything but not always on a disk and besides, when the darn thing crashes to the point it says there’s no operating system, what the heck do you do?  Personally, I cried.

I just wish I had known about Data Recovery and how a simple disk can get your computer back along with all of the data you have stored on your computer.  It’s a lot cheaper to buy one of their many disks to recover whatever it is you have lost than it is to buy a new computer and then try to find everything you had on the one that crashed and get it back on the new computer.  Sometimes the cause is your own fault and sometimes it’s a virus but whatever the causes, they have a program that will solve your problem.

Cousin in England has some really cute clothes

My cousin that lives in England came for a visit and I swear she has some of the cutest clothes I have seen in a long time.  You know how us girls are about clothes.  We had a blast going through each others clothes and sharing them just like we used to do when we were teenagers.  Luckily we are still the same size just like always so I got the pleasure of wearing some of her clothes.  I had to ask where they came from so she got on my computer and brought up Plus Size Clothing where she shops for most of her clothes.

No neither of us are what you would call ‘large ladies’ but we are built a bit large with broad shoulders so plus size clothes fit our shoulders and body type better than other sizes.  The ‘Homespun’ collection is my favorite.  It’s sort of like back in the 70’s type styles and I love those style of clothes.  They’re comfortable and have a ‘free’ look to them if that makes any sense to you.  The ‘Bohemian’ collection is perfect for an evening out or for work too.  My cousin and I have the same taste in clothes so she let me purchase some of her clothes and she’ll buy them again for herself when she gets back home.  I really need to learn how to convert their money into ours so I can buy from their site too.

I think I have a thing for mailboxes!

It’s funny how when I go riding around or to visit a friend for some reason I notice their mailboxes first of all and then their house or apartment building.  I think I have a thing for mailboxes.   You know sort of like when people notice a persons eyes first of all when they first meet.  Well I notice mail boxes.  A mailbox can make a statement about who lives there.

One of the first things is that if you live in an apartment building or community where they have a block of mailboxes, you want them to be secure to protect your mail from others.  Identity theft can easily start with your mail.  Not only does this site have mailboxes but they also have address plaques and mailbox posts.  So the next time you pull up to your house, stop and look at your mailbox.  What does it say about you?

I love Blomus stainless steel

There’s just something about stainless steel in your home that makes a statement.  That statement is class to me.  I have a Blomus stainless steel mailbox on my front porch and it looks wonderful plus it will last a long time too.  My fireplace is the center of my living room because of the Blomus stainless steel fireplace accessories I have.   They really make the fireplace the focus of the whole room.

I not only have Blomus stainless steel inside but I also use it to decorate my back yard too.  I have a Blomus stainless steel bird feeder and a Blomus stainless steel fire pit for those chilly spring evenings on my patio.  Can you tell I love Blomus stainless steel?  Well I do and if you check out what they have, I bet you’ll find something you love too.

Mom’s treating us girls to a spa treatment in NY

My mother is really going all out with herself and including us girls too.  She’s been doing a lot of redecorating and remodeling and now is thinking about doing a little upkeep on herself.  This time, she has decided to make it a family thing.  She just called each of us and told us that she’s treating us to a trip to New York for a laser hair removal holiday and shopping spree. She said that she was checking out some places online and came across this site.  This place uses state of the art technology and a highly skilled cosmetic staff and provide permanent hair removal solutions to thousands of satisfied customers in each of their modern clinics. You can even contact them today to schedule a Free complimentary test patch and receive a price quote.

Mom must have liked the price quote they gave her because she went ahead and scheduled appointments for all of us for next Friday.  We will all have the treatment and then get the whole weekend with Mom in New York City.  We used to go there at least once a year for different shopping excursions or spa treatments.  It’s Mom’s way of still spoiling us and she does a great job of it.
