Monday or Friday

Friday, February 24th, 2012

I pick cyber Monday, no two ways about it. I went shopping on black Friday one time, about five years ago and I swore that I would never, ever try and do that again. I’ve kept that promise and intend to always keep it.

I remember last year hearing something about cyber monday, but I really didn’t understand what it was all about, I wish that I had known because it seems so easy, but you can bet that I will use it this up and coming holiday season.

My sister sent me the link Cyber-monday.org and I have passed it along to my friends to pass on because it is that cool. It is real easy to purchase Cyber Monday items online that are offering sale prices and discounts from all kinds of merchants. You can even set it up to where you will get an email to alert you when new sales come up. My sister and I use several of the merchants that participate, especially around the holidays, so I’m sure lots of other people use them also, like Wal-Mart, Best Buy and I’m sure that one of my sisters will love the Urban Outfitters bargains.

Just think, no more getting up at 3:00 in the morning the day after Thanksgiving (which is such a long and tiresome holiday to begin with). No more standing in line in the cold along with hundreds of other bargain thirsty shoppers that do nothing but bitch and moan and complain the whole time you are stuck in line with them. And not having to worry about getting pushed and shoved and cursed at and no more screaming children that have no business being out at that time of the morning, who should be home in bed sleeping off the previous night’s huge turkey dinner and long drive home from Grandma’s house.

This year I’m gonna be right there – on the Internet – along with tons of other people that I don’t have to see, hear, touch or smell, participating on Cyber Monday. We will see how well I do and I want to hear how well my sisters make out also. It will be interesting, I’m really looking forward to it, but am glad that it isn’t for another 10 months from now.

Happy Birthday Wm

One of my brothers is celebrating a birthday today. It is not one of the “big ones,” but the cool think about his birthday is that I was 10 years old when he was born. And then, when my first born son was born, my brother was 10 years old. So we have me minus ten years equals my brother, and he minus ten years equals my son. That’s the family math.

Happy Birthday, William!

Valentines Chocolates

Monday, February 13th, 2012

Since I am off work tomorrow, this morning when I arrived at my desk I discovered a great big red velvet heart shaped box filled with chocolates waiting for me on my computer desktop. That was such a nice Valentine’s Day surprise!

I love chocolates – my favorite is a dark chocolate piece filled with a rasberry gel. Second best is a creamy milk chocolate filled with buttery caramel. I love both flavors – but to be honest, there isn’t much about chocolate and any filling you can get that I wouldn’t want. So I limit myself to just one piece a day.

La Mer Cream

Friday, February 10th, 2012

Taking care of my skin has always been a big deal with me. As a teenager I had horrible issues with black heads and acne that I really stressed out about and spent a ton of money on products trying to find the perfect match for my needs and wants. Today my skin is in much better condition, but I am still always looking for the perfect skin products, especially moisturizers. For Christmas my sister gave me some la mer cream that she ordered for me online at cleopatraschoice.com that I just started using last week and I have to say that I am really impressed with the way it moisturizes my face and I would urge anyone to give it a try and see if it works well for them as it did/does for me.
