Attention All Shoe Horses!

So you just can't life without the latest pair of shoes, huh, well I've found the link for you.  Dive in a fill you coffers with all the shoes and handbags you can stuff into your closet.  As for me, I think I'll probably never get to have another pair of shoes, and certainly not a pair of ridiculously high heals, after breaking my ankle and leg a few years ago, I seem resigned to wear...well, sensible shoes.

Sleepy Snow Day Ideas

Its been a very long week for me, and now that it is Saturday I find myself looking for ways to relax and entertain myself.  I've always loved all kinds of music, and have long collected albums, but have come to the conclusion that many of my favorites are the vinyl kind, and for the moment have found a permanent residence in my closet.  After looking around, I've come to the realization that I can now play my albums through my computer, and with the appropriate software can capture and load my old favorites on to my MP3 player. I found a Sony USB turntable that I am seriously giving thought to purchasing. I've always had great luck with all my Sony products so I think this one may be the one for me. I think the price is excellent, so its definitely on my want list.


There is one thing though that I may need to upgrade, and that would be my MP3 player, it being on its last legs, often repeating the same songs, even though it holds over 200, so I'm looking at some. I don't really want to cough the money out for an IPod, even though I'm certain it is a good player, so after doing some looking I found one with a whopping 8MB storage, and well under a $100. I'm thinking that it won't be long before I'm dancing badly to all the oldies!

Dusting Off Your New Year Resolutions

January is almost gone, and as it would seem, many of us have given up on our New Years Resolutions. For alot of people, the idea of restarting a resolution now seems absurd, yet the reality is that it is only January, and definitely not too late to set things straight again.

Whether your resolution was to lose weight, or just exercise more its time to ask yourself (honestly now) what went wrong. Perhaps you did not find the right gym, or maybe your exercise equipment isn't cutting it, or maybe your Great Aunt Mable made the best ever cheese cake and you just couldn't help eating a slice or six. Whatever the reason, and whatever the resolution, a good way to get back on track is to make a list of what went wrong, and when. Once your list is complete, write next to each item what can be done to get back on track.

If you find yourself still flagging, it may be time to find some support. It isn't necessary to break the bank, or pay an expensive monthly membership in most cases. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of online support groups, most for free. Finding a supportive community can breath new life into your goals. Whatever you do though, make sure that you keep it fun, and remember that its is never to late to jump into your resolution, and make this year one that you met your goals.
