Words With Friends

I love keeping my mind sharp. My favorite way of doing this is by playing Words With Friends. I have about 20 games going at one time. I know this sounds like a lot but I have a friend that does 40 games. It is so much fun when I think I am making up words and they end up being real words. Also I love beating my friends. What a great game.

The Lakeside Collection

I just recieved The Lakeside Collection in the mail. I really like this magazine. It has some really great ideas for amazing gifts. I also found some great ideas for the home. You really need to check out the website www.lakeside.com.

YMCA

The YMCA is one of the best places for familes to go. In this econamy it is one of the best values. There are classes for adults and children to take. There are also familiy nights, camping under the stars, Healthy Kids Day and the new Wellness center where your kids can work out the same time you are.

Back To School Shopping

Shopping is one of my favorite past times is shopping, but school shoping is my favorite. I love the new smell of all the school supplies. New notebooks, pencils, bookbags, lunch boxes, and my favoriye of all is a new book of crayons. Also the new clothes for the kids. It is fun to see how thier personality has changed over the summer and what they are picking out. It is the most wonderful time of the year.

Passionate About Sports

I love being passionate about something and that something just happens to be sports. It’s great because I stay in shape and I get to be outside a lot which is something I’ve enjoyed since my childhood. When the weekend hits I set my security (Click HERE) alarm and get outside to soak up the sun and do everything from play ultimate Frisbee to golfing with my boys. I’m in better shape now at thirty than I ever have http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifbhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifeen before and I love having hobbies that are numerous and also keep me social. I’m just a huge proponent of getting outside and moving your body and it’s something I preach to all my friends as well as family. I’ve got a lot of energy and I think it comes from the fact that I’m working out so much which if you ask me isn’t a bad thing! Eating well and moving your body – that’s all that really matters when you hit this age. You’ll feel better than you ever have before!

Pedicures

Aaaaahhhh:) I just LOVE pedicures! Sitting in the massage chair, all the lovely smelling lotions and just being pampered. Also, hat amazing alone time. It's great sitting there and just being with my own thoughts. No one needing me, calling my name or asking me for anything. Oh except for the manicurist asking what color I need. What a great day.

Pool Floating

I wish everyone in the world had a pool. Nothing is as relaxing as floating in a pool. You can read a book, listen to music, have a drink or just take a nap. It is one of my favorite things about summer.

Flavored Rum

I just found out that there are different flavored rums. Where have I been? I know that I am so behind the times on this. I always liked rum but now it's my favorite alcohol. All the different flavors are amazing. I can make so many new drinks! What a summer this will be!

New Orleans

I just got back from a trip to New Orleans with my daughter. WOW what a great time we had. The food was amazing! All I have to say is Beignets! Yum, yum, yum! The tours were great. We went to a cooking demo, a ghost tour and a swamp tour. All three were wonderful. It seemed like anything we did there exceted our expections. If you ever have a chance to go I HIGHLY reccommend it.

Reading

Don't you just love summer reading. I do! Sitting outside in the shade, a nice cold iced tea by my side and a good book. This is the time where I get to catch up on all the books I have been wanting to read. What I am reading right now is The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larson. What a great book. I would highly recommend it, however please start with The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. So get out there and read!

Shopping Made Easy In Canada

My sister recently moved to Canada and was having difficulties finding gifts for some of us in the states. Because I'm the google guru, I took things into my own hands. I turned her onto a great web site for shopping and research in Canada. www.canadapost.ca/shopper/sears/store/231

She was so happy to have been able to compare products on the site and look up reviews from others about some of the stuff she wanted to buy for us.

You have to try it out if you live in Canada. It's a great site

Great Shoe Deals

We are getting ready to go away this weekend and I needed to get some new clothes, ect. for the trip. I have a tee time set for Saturday and I was just in the basement checking on my golf gear. I come to notice that I needed some new golf shoes. I wanted to just replace my footjoy classics with the same type. I found some on line at Become.com

Once I found this site, I went to town on some more new shoes for the trip. I could not believe the deals they had for nurture shoes and high top shoes. Needless to say I bought some of each. Spending money online gets away from me sometimes.
