Wolverine Boots

April 20th, 2009

You can order all kinds of Wolverine Boots at Metboots.com, they have a really wide selection of every thing from hiking and hunting boots to insulated ones. My dad ordered some from them a few months ago and was really impressed, he said they were a really good price, high quality boots and they arrived quickly, he was a very happy customer – so much so he phoned me to tell me about it, even though I have no need to buy any of the boots myself. He said that maybe my husband would find the information useful, but really I think he just wanted an excuse to tell me he got some lol

Is it vacation time yet?

April 20th, 2009

I am so ready for my summer vacation this year, not only for all the usual reasons like I am worn out from working so hard and ready for a change of scenery, but also because I am a lot skinnier now than I have been on my last several vacations. So I am actually excited to wear my shorts and swimsuit rather than having nightmares about it! I will definitely need to go shopping before we do go away, probably in June, because my vacation gear from last year definitely won’t fit me any more!

I want to go to Disney Waterparks and spend the whole entire day splashing around, apart from being a bucket load of fun it is actually also a great work out so I get to kill two birds with one stone and don’t have to feel guilty about indulging a little on my beloved ice cream, yum.

I don’t know if we will be able to get there or not though, it is an awful long way and you need to go for several days at least to make it worthwhile and have the time to do and see every thing that is on offer there — like Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon which looks insanely awesome, and usually when we go away we can only manage 3 or 4 days due to my husbands work commitments and money issues.

I will have to see if I can convince him we need a longer vacation this year and start saving up my dollars, five dollars here and five dollars there, it all adds up very quickly — we could easily have a few hundred extra come June.

I have OrlandoFunTickets.com bookmarked now, they sell tickets for all the best and most fun places to visit in Orlando and loads of information on their website — armed with all this, how will my husband be able to say no?

Like losing a limb!

April 20th, 2009

Do you use an iPhone Backup service? I do, because if I lost all of my contacts and and texts it would be like losing a limb — it probably is not healthy to rely so heavily on a piece of technology but hey I bet I am far from the only one!

I have been using IDrive for a while now and they do exactly what I need from a back up service, really simply to use…even my Mom can do it…and they don’t cost and arm and a leg like a lot of these things do, it amazes me how much some companies try and charge for this.

Sunglasses for Summer

April 19th, 2009

I am going shopping again on Thursday, I feel like I have done nothing but shop recently…but that’s OK, it is my favourite hobby!

I am planning on getting many things, including some new sunglasses ready for the fast approaching for the summer season. I have always loved sunglasses but felt any fashionable or trendy ones didn’t suit me, I love the big Paris Hilton style ones that are all the rage at the moment but didn’t dare getting last year…now I have more confidence in general I have decided what the heck and I am going to get some. Go me :)

It wasn’t always cool to be geeky

April 19th, 2009

Remember back when it wasn’t actually cool to be a geek? I do, and it makes me feel old because these days being a computer geek and hanging out on Geeks.com is something to shout about but several years ago it’d be a deep dark secret, ha.

Speaking of Geeks.com , do you use them? I have been using them for a while now for certain computer bits and bobs and have always found them really affordable, and most importantly reliable. I love their 1 day deal section, where they sell off one special item per day at a discounted price, it is fun to visit Geeks.com to find out what today’s offer is :)

High School Reunions

April 18th, 2009

There are a few high school reunions being organised on Facebook at the moment, one general one and one more specific one for our form group — it got me thinking about what I have actually achieved since school and I think I would be pretty proud to go and share my story with everyone, I have not done any thing spectacular in terms of career but I have met the man of my dreams and got married, maintained awesome relationships with most of my school friends, had a baby, moved to two new countries, worked hard and am simply very happy. It’s a shame I won’t be able to go, I simply can’t justify the expense and time away to travel back to the UK!

Go Tammy and Victor

April 18th, 2009

I am loving this season of The Amazing Race, Tammy and Victor who are criminal defense lawyers I believe are probably my favourite team — I just like their dynamic and I think they are growing a lot in their relationship. I am not keen on Margie and Luke or the two redhead girls though, one of them is so rude to foreigners :)

If you need some San Fernando and Los Angeles Criminal Defense Lawyers then check out the site I just linked to, they are a top 5% us law firm which is pretty impressive, they offer professional and affordable services and have over 50 years worth of experience.

Eye See You!

April 17th, 2009

I am going to start wearing glasses again I think, I used to wear them when I was younger — from a really young age up until I was about 18 I think and then the eye doctor told me I didn’t need them any more, I was sad because I actually enjoyed wearing them and getting new glasses every few years was like a major event in my life, I would look forward to it for months beforehand — most kids would get excited by birthdays or holidays, I would get excited by glasses, I always was a bit of a nerd hey?

The reason I am now thinking I will get some again is because I came across Optical4Less.com where you can get prescription glasses for as little as $15 delivered — that is insane, they were $100s the last time I needed to get any! At that price I think I can get some even if I don’t technically need them as it is pretty easy to justify spending $15! On the site they also have a neat virtual try on system on the site where you can see what you’d look like in certain frames before you even buy any thing. I am glad I came across this site :)

Back to learning!

April 17th, 2009

I decided recently that once I am down to my goal weight, and confident I can stay there, I am going to go for my personal training certification — I would love to be able to do for other people what my trainer has done for me. It’s also a great way of making sure I lead a healthy lifestyle always and of course it pays quite well.

Who knows, in five years time maybe I could be the next Jillian Michaels? Ok maybe not, I could never be that hard ass with people haha

You can find information and places to get your education in personal training at Naturalhealers.com, it seems to be a really useful resource :)

Come on Summer!

April 17th, 2009

Ah gorgeous summer is fast approaching, I can feel it in the air. Several friends are talking about their upcoming summer vacations and I went shopping for some Ralph by Ralph Lauren sunglasses online earlier today. It really can’t come soon enough for me, I love every thing about it — from the long light days to the heat and being able to rock all the latest summer fashions. It is especially enjoyable for my now that I live in America, summers lasted all year back when I was a child growing up in Australia and I didn’t appreciate them, it was not until I moved to the UK that I really missed them…they don’t get much of a summer in the UK at all, their summer is more like an American spring!

I was looking for the sunglasses at YourSunEssentials.com and I didn’t buy any because I need to wait for my next pay day first, but I will definitely get some from there, they have a big range of well known brands and at really affordable prices, too.

Now, I must get away from this computer and go out and enjoy the gorgeous afternoon sun in my back yard :)
