I am always on the lookout for great deals. Especially in these economic times, people have less and less money to spend. I used to get teased for always clipping coupons, but nowadays I’m asked where they all are. Times are tough and people are holding on to their pennies. Not a moment too soon, if you ask me. That is why I always try to find the best buy on everything, including everyday needs like bread and soap. You never know where you’ll find a better deal.

I sure do love seeing myself. Some would have me pegged as a narcissist. That is why whenever I go to the bathroom I want tons of mirrors all around me. Some call this an unhealthy obsession with the self, I tell them it’s what’s required to keep me on top of my game. That is why I have invested heavily the past few months in bathroom vanities. You never hear me shut up about them because it is my life. I now look online for the best deals that allow me to look at myself.

Tell me, what exactly constitutes men’s jewelry ? Whenever I think of the term, I think of a very limited number of items. For example, a Rolex watch would be something I put in the category of men’s jewelry. I also think of Mr. T and his assortment of gaudy golden chains. I guess you could consider that too to be men’s jewelry. However, one thing I never think of are those little earrings that some guys like to sport nowadays.

It’s a sad testament to the society we live in whenever someone’s drug treatment becomes the subject of headlines. That is exactly what is wrong with society. People are less concerned with political decisions impacting out lives every day than they are with the personal lives of celebrities. I guess some just take comfort in knowing they have their head on straighter than the person they saw on the big screen. I just don’t know.

Sometimes, it’s hard to find a special gift for someone. You can’t really go wrong with wine! It’s delicious and intoxicating, the two things people adore most. That is why this year I am considering getting all of my friends the gift of good wine. Personally, I find wine to be bitter and unpalatable, but I guess my tastes just aren’t sophisticated enough. I’ll enjoy my Wendy’s gift card as my friends down their wine gifts.

You may have read my last post and got hungry for some classic carnival food. While I have been making elephant’s ears for a few years in my home, I never had the opportunity to make bulk amounts of buttery popcorn until I went out and got popcorn machines. You see, one bag in the microwave just wasn’t enough for me. After eating funnel cake and cinnamon almonds, I needed that yummy popcorn to help it all go down.

There are many ways to promote self-fitness nowadays. Remember back in the day, jumping on a trampoline? Those days don’t have to be so distant. Even if it has been thirty years or more since you bounced around on a trampoline, you can still get one in your home. That’s right, there are tiny trampolines available at sports stores to encourage you to get your body moving.

My mother recently had hip surgery, so it made it hard for her to get up and down her stairway. She had to go out to get to the doctor, after all, in home visits are a thing of the past. That is why my brother and I installed stair lifts for her. That way, now and in the future, she will be able to get out of the house no matter what her mobility situation is.

There is a long history of celebrities being picky about the sheets on which they sleep. Just a few months ago, there was a story online about Sir Elton John refusing to stay in a hotel after a concert of his because they refused to accommodate him with silk bedding. When they saw Elton and his millions of dollars walking out the door, they rushed to a local retailer to pay full price for the silk sheets, just to keep the man happy and spending.

I remember just a few short years ago, the concept of GPS was still in its infancy. Who would have imagined that here in 2008 it would begin becoming ingrained as a part of our culture? Now, even low-end cars come enabled with some form of GPS. People are using GPS in productive ways. I just hope it doesn’t become a way to monitor everyone ala 1984, then GPS will have worn out its welcome.
