A Woman’s Diary

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??

I absolutely love shopping online. Like I mentioned in one of my previous posts…it’s becoming very VERY addicting.

I spend a whole great deal of time on Amazon. I always by books, dvds, and other things on there. Of course you have to use Amazon coupons so get great deals.

After all, who doesn’t like saving on some purchases they make? I know I do!

Many of us have cables of all sorts laying around the house. I have about five usbs cables, 8 telephone wires, and even a CAT6 cable. Don’t get me wrong, they could come in handy…but seriously?? Too many cables I think.

So what do you do with all the extra cables? Do you throw them out? Sell them in a garage sale? Or what? I store them in plastic bags and keep them in a closet. I don’t know why I do that, but I’m sure I’ll be getting rid of some as soon as spring cleaning fever kicks in.

I’ve been really thinking about getting back in the game and starting to exercise again. I’m also looking into getting strength equipment and other things that I can use at home.

Of course I’m going to have to make room around here so I can fit some exercise equipment in my house. It seems every room here is packed with things and there’s not enough room for anything. *sigh*

When is spring cleaning again?? I’ll need an entire weekend to do that. LOL!

Just last week, I decided to pull out all my crochet items. Of course I had stored them away in a bag that I placed in a drawer.

After getting some inspiration to start crocheting a blanket, I decided it’s time for me to put my yarns and hooks somewhere safe. That’s why I bought the basket you see in the photo off to the side.

Isn’t it pretty?? I thought so which is why I purchased it from Wal-Mart for only $10. Not too bad for a basket that size.

Now I have somewhere safe where I can put my yarns, hooks, patterns, and other things related. There they will be kept safe and tidy…and of course in reach which is why I placed it right next to the television. After all, the best time to crochet is when you are sitting in front of the tv and watching some talk shows…well, more like listening to them. LOL!

I’m so glad we have wireless internet in our house. I don’t need any kind of Cat6 ethernet cable or anything like that for my computer to be connected to the web…which by the way, is totally awesome!!

Now, I just have to buy my own laptop. Of course the first laptop I did purchase just last month, wasn’t even for me. I know…that totally sucks. But, the facial expression of someone dear to me will be worth it.

Really…I bought it for my younger sister Tanya. She’s going to be ecstatic once she opens it up. I even got her a printer and a wireless router also. Her birthday is next Sunday. It’s going to be totally AWESOME!! I can’t wait!!

Websites such as this directbuy one have plenty of information for readers in regards to home furnishings.

Now why would I be interested in a site like that? Well, the other day I have a dream. More like a daydream while I was crocheting in our small living room. It was really weird and I just thought about redecorating that entire room with brand new furnishings.

I have it all planned out in my mind and can literally visualize how I want it. I’m sure my parents won’t mind if I were to buy new stuff for that room. I completely want to change it up as it’s so dull and boring.

We’ll see how that home project gets going because first I have to save up some cash.

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!!

Awhile ago I was watching the Montel Williams show and some guy named Timothy Brantley was on it talking about his book “The Cure”. So of course I bought it and have been reading it.

It’s really great so far and makes you think about the foods you put into your body. It seems so crazy to think that natural foods can actually cure sickness and even CANCER!! (They had this other guy on the show who was cured of cancer because of how he changed his diet). It was amazing!!

Can you imagine what things like grape seed extract or even oranges can do sometime in the future? There is so many possibilities and only time will tell.

Get the book, it’s really great too!!

My mp3 player sucks ass. I bought it for $179 a few years back, which in turn was just a waste. The battery is all messed up and doesn’t charge properly. Plus the headphones are shit. I think I need quality ones like the Bose headphones.

The money I spent on this mp3 player could of been spent on an iPod. I’m sure those last longer and are way better than what I have.

Humm…maybe I’ll buy an iPod Nano next month. I’ve been meaning to buy one of those for awhile now.

My sister’s birthday is coming up really really soon. I can’t say exactly what I bought her online because she does check my blogs, but I can give a hint. It sort of deals with a mobile router…well more like a wireless router.

Can you guess what it is??

All I know is that she’ll be super excited once she opens it up because it will be the most expensive gift she has gotten for her birthday in her life. I hope she likes it…in fact, I know she’ll LOVE IT!!

My sister is getting married this year. She already has bought her wedding dress and it looks wonderful!! I think she even got something that resembles corsets that she puts under her dress. I don’t know the right name for it but it’s suppose to make thinner in the mid section.

We still have to get the bridesmaids dresses out of the way. It seems everyone has their own tastes which varies. I personally don’t want to wear a skimpy dress but my other sister likes wearing something like that.

So as you can see, getting the perfect bridesmaids dresses is proving to be difficult.

So many people are looking to lose weight. Some even turn to using diet pills. I can honestly say I never bought any pills to try out myself, but I do know people who have.

Some of them had great results, but others had horrible ones. They even ended up gaining some weight afterwards.

So the moral of this story is to:

• do your research
• find out the results of others
• and never buy pills from places you don’t know.

Whenever you are renovating your house or even redecorating a room, it’s always great to find new light fixtures.

Why? Lighting in the room pretty much makes the room warm and inviting. Without having the right lighting, the atmosphere can be very dull or just plain boring.

For me personally, I try to find lights that match my furniture and have a strong presence in the room. The best place to find these kinds of lights is to go to a store that sells just lights so you can see the difference.

OMG…I’m totally in love with the new colour for iPods. It’s PINK!!!! It came right in time for Valentine’s Day too, so you can easily get it for your sweetheart!! I totally want one now.

I’m so happy that Apple actually thinks about making different colours of their products. It’s great because not everyone likes the same thing. The different colours with iPod Nanos and Shuffles is just great.

I absolutely love this company for doing this and think more should follow in their footsteps…especially those companies who make laptops. It would be nice to see a variety of colours instead of black, white, or silver ALL THE TIME.
