A Woman’s Diary

Man..when you are extremely bored online, I guess you will search up anything. What did I search? Something completely random — progesterone.

Like I said…random. That’s how bored I am tonight. Maybe I’ll go watch a movie or catch up on some dvds of tv shows I have which I haven’t even opened yet. Ya…I barely have time to watch anything these days. But today, I’m free to do something and thankfully I’m off from work tomorrow too.

Yippy!! Hopefully I’ll have some time to catch up on blogging and updating my sites.

I’m an avid reader. In fact, I buy new books almost every week online. My favourite kinds of books are ones that are memoirs or share life experiences of other people.

The great thing is, so many people can share their story easily by Self Publishing from places like AuthorHouse.com.

Why choose them?

• they have been in the self-publishing business for over 10 years
• they have guides who will help you every step of the way
• you make the decisions on how you want your book to look like
• plus, there are even discounts available

If I even get a chance to write a book about my own life, I’d probably go with a company who allows me to make the decisions on what I want out of my story. Companies like Author House allow you to do just that which is why, they rank at the top to me.

If you have a story you would like to share with the world, check them out. Who knows…your book may be coming out sooner than you know it!!

I love looking at random things on the web. Seriously…I do and yes I know it can be weird at times. I’ll search things like morgues, types of surgeries, and even sometimes Alabama land for sale. Okay…maybe not the last one, but the others I do. LOL!!

Yes, totally weird, but you gotta keep your mind busy when you got nothing else to do. I guess the more you learn the better your mind is. Well, that’s what I think anyways.

What random things do you search?

I’m a huge online shopper. Yes…I’ll admit it. Why? Because I don’t really have no shame of it. The only thing I would love to stop is how much I’m spending.

I guess it all works out when I use coupon codes or other such things to get awesome deals and discounts on things. Yes…they really are worthwhile especially when you find ones on things you would normally buy anyways.

So what do you shop for online??

Most people who own their own homes have an upstairs where you have to literally walk up stairs. I’m sure EVERYONE has that.

I can’t imagine what it’s like for someone who can’t walk all that great or even can’t walk at all!! Thank goodness for inventions like a stair lift where they can easily get up to the next level of their homes.

Can you imagine just living on one floor of your house if you do have a functional upstairs area too?? It’s crazy!!

I’m not sure how many other fellow Canadians have airmiles, but I do. I absolutely love earning points and then being able to spend it on something worthwhile.

The one thing I would love to see added to the rewards are home theater popcorn machines. NOW that would be super cool!!!

I know you can easily buy them online or in the store, but getting them for FREE is much better LOL!! Oh well, for now I’ll just have to waste my airmile rewards on other things.

I recently saw this photo and it honestly made me laugh. Why? Because like me, that cat also seems to purchase things from Ebay…but what he purchased is even more funnier. (yes I know people add words to the actions of cats)…It’s hilarious in my opinion. Check it out below.

Many people love adding stats or even a free counter to their website. Heck, I’ll even admit to doing that too. It’s a great way to keep track of how much traffic is coming to your site.

If you are looking for a free counter, you might want to check out the ones from Easy-Poll.com. You just quickly sign up - YES IT’S FREE!! Then you are well on your way to getting your own free counter.

The best thing other than it being FREE is that you can access your account 24/7!! Plus their counters have nice graphics and not too over the top.

I absolutely love animals, so it’s no surprise that I subscribe to a Peta newsletter. The one I got today was just…I don’t know. Words don’t do justice to what I’m feeling right now. It’s a mixture of heartache for these animals and anger towards anyone who mistreats helpless animals. Here is the newsletter I received today.

Dear Tina,

Video footage from a new PETA undercover investigation reveals horrific conditions for small animals and birds who are bred and brokered by a major supplier to PetSmart.

At Rainbow World Exotics in Hamilton, Texas—a massive breeding mill and one of PetSmart’s main animal suppliers—PETA’s investigator documented that live animals were thrown into the trash, were deprived of desperately needed veterinary care, were suffering and dying alone in their cages, and were cannibalizing each other. The investigator also found that rabbit neuter surgeries were crudely performed by a layperson in a filthy, dark room using Clorox Disinfecting Wipes to wipe blood off of the rabbits’ fresh, raw incisions.

Click here to learn more about where PetSmart’s animal victims are bred and to tell PetSmart to end live-animal sales today!

Also, please forward this message to others who might be willing to lend their voices to this important issue. You can watch the Today Show segment about this investigation here.

Thank you for your compassion for animals.

Sincerely,

Daphna Nachminovitch, Vice President
Cruelty Investigations Department
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

I still can’t believe people can treat animals this way. It’s horrible!! If you click on the “click here” link, you can read the rest about the investigation. There is also a very disturbing video. If you have a weak stomach, I’m sure you will throw up. It really is that disturbing. Please voice your opinions and tell PetSmart to end live-animal sales today by sending in the message shown at the bottom of that link.

People like this need to be stopped. No words can describe what I want to do to these people who hurting innocent small animals. If you don’t believe the cruelty people have, watch the video.

Are you looking into opening your own blog? Then the first and probably the most important thing to do is find the proper hosting you require.

Some questions you may ask yourself include:

• How much space to I need?
• How much bandwidth do I need?
• How much am I willing to spend?
• What kind of extra features are included?

You can easily find an adequate hosting company by doing a quick search on web hosting choice. They have a wonderful search option where you input criteria such as monthly cost, setup fee, disk space, and bandwidth.

After you input that information, you just simply click the search for hosts button. Then they give you a list of web hosting companies that have what you require. You can easily view them all and all their information because the search results are in a table form. That is wonderful in my opinion. It makes things so much easier.

So check out WebHostingChoice.com and find the hosting you need today!

Are you looking for a new watch? Then why not check out these raymond weil watches. They look absolutely gorgeous and would be the perfect gift for your hubby or boyfriend this Valentine’s Day.

I’m thinking about getting a watch for my father. He’s been looking around for awhile now and has yet to find the perfect one that he likes. Maybe it’s just because there’s too many to choose from. I don’t know.

If I end up buying him one, then he doesn’t have to decide on the various other watches that there are. That would be my job. Heehee..maybe I’ll get it for the upcoming Father’s Day or something since that comes before his birthday.

I have added a new wordpress theme. It’s called Bonita. This theme has two sidebars and is widget ready. You can download this new theme on page 2 of my wordpress themes section.

I’m sure many people plan on moving on with their lives and finding new locations to live during the course of this year. Heck, myself included because that’s something I’m planning too.

If you live in the New York area, you may want to contact these New York movers for some help. They will make your move without any hassle! I know how horrible moving experiences can be. Heck, even carrying some of those things can take forever to do. So it’s always good to get help.

I can’t wait until I move out from my parents house. I know they’ll end up helping which will be awesome instead of hiring others to do it for me.

It’s almost February already. Can you believe it? Pretty soon we’ll slide past spring and into the warm air of summer.

Of course that’s when your gardening gloves come on and you start working around the clock to beautify your garden or backyard. Well, it’s that way at my else anyways.

My mother loves decorating our backyard with flowers, vegetables, fruit trees, and of course other lawn decorations. The one thing I noticed that we don’t have is a birdbath fountain.

I saw some awesome ones which you can read more about. I especially like this one in the picture off to the side. It would really go with the rest of the decorations we have. Plus, my neighbour has a bird house on his fence, and we always have bird around. Then they can come and bath in the birdbath whenever they want.

Hum…what’s the next occasion for my mom. Mother’s Day. Maybe I’ll get that for her as a gift then. Heehee…I KNOW she’ll love it!!
