A Woman’s Diary

A lot of things need to be changed in this world. One of them is definitely some….*drumroll*…. men’s fashion. Why? I’m sick of selling idiots who wear their pants down low thinking it’s cool or fashionable.

IT’S NOT!!

I don’t even know how that became a big thing because it’s crazy now. It’s like every guy I look at has his pants low and showing his boxers. Like geeze…pull ‘em up already!!

No one wants to see your a$$.

Every time I go shopping to my local department store, I always…and I mean ALWAYS, end up getting some dog supplies. It’s now to the point where my dog has dog much dog food and snacks that it’s impossible for even finish one bag.

My mom freaks out at me for buying so much, but to be honest…I never really noticed just how much she had already. Plus, I’m positive that I’m an impulsive shopper and will go down an isle and grab a product from the shelf without really thinking.

Maybe that’s how I have so much racked up on bills. I seriously need to change this behaviour.

Somebody, please help me out. I am spending way too much money and I just can’t seem to get a grip. I know one of my resolutions was to try to cut my spending both online and off, but I just haven’t managed that yet.

I just paid a $500 credit card bill today. Then I come home after of course going shopping and spending $200 at the mall…I go online and check my credit card balance prior to the $200.

Guess what…it is over $500 ALREADY!!! That’s not including the $200 I just spent, or some other things I put on the card that haven’t shown up yet. Seriously…what do you guys/gals do to control your spending?? Mine is outrageous!!! … and no… I don’t want to cut it up or get rid of it.

My sister and I were looking back at some photos from late last year when she was still pregnant with my nephew. It’s crazy to think that she really didn’t even buy that much maternity clothes. She still wore some of her regular clothes that she already owned or just bought a size bigger from what she normally wears.

I can honestly say she didn’t spend much with clothes. I have seen many people go all out and buy a shit load of clothes just to fit, not my sister.

I guess people vary, especially when it comes to pregnancies.

Once again, I’ve been thinking about the goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year. I haven’t accomplished or even started one of the most important ones which was start to live a healthy and active lifestyle.

I don’t know why I haven’t got on the move on with this…really I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I have a job now that requires so many hours and there’s not enough time in a day to do everything. Maybe…or just that it has become one of the least of my worries.

Hopefully I can change this soon enough. I’m thinking about getting more exercise equipment at home to add with the gazelle I have. I want a elliptical or some sort of exercise bike that I can use for a good solid hour everyday. I even saw this cool thing called an ab roller at Wal-Mart for about $100 that seems worthwhile.

I’ll probably by some more equipment soon enough. Hum….tomorrow?? Maybe. LOL!

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??

There are so many changes I would love to make in my house. Unfortunately I can’t just freely make the changes because its my parent’s house so they usually make the decorating decisions.

I would love to get some beaded curtains and hang them at my door. Where would you buy them anyways? …from a door hardware shop or something? I haven’t really seen any in the doors.

Oh well…I guess I will keep looking and then persuade my parents to switch up some of the doors.

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!

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!!

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.

Now, if only I had a dog who was a stud then maybe I’d be happy this Valentine’s Day.

Unfortunately, the male dog that I became acquainted with for quite some time, has passed away not too long ago. His name was Joey and he was such a playful dog.

I would of liked to get him a nice Rolex Daytona for this special Valentine’s Day. I’m sure they have some sort of doggy rolex somewhere.

I think us dogs really need more things in the jewelry and accessories department. It seems to be lacking everytime I check out a pet store.

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.

There are some things I’d love to experience in my life. But sadly, I’m not sure if that is possible…after all, life as a dog isn’t exactly like a humans.

There isn’t any high heels, golf shoes, of even stylish sandals that dogs can use. Half the time, the only shoes we have are felt-like boots for the winter that you can buy at Wal-Mart.

I think there should be more clothes and more shoes for dogs. We too don’t want to get our paws dirty all the time!!

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!!

I have the day off today. Thank goodness!!

At least now I can get a chance to go ahead and update some of my blogs and finish off some paid assignments I still have to do. Yippy!! Maybe I’ll get a chance to finish reading this book I have. I have like a million and one more books to read still. It’s crazy.

Ya this post is going to be completely random because I’m going to talk about something else.

I got friggin chapped lips and they are pissing me off. The thing I don’t understand is how the heck did I get chapped lips if I use chapstick EVERYDAY and apply it a hundred and one times. Does that make any sense?? Do you have the answer?? I’m at a loss of words for that one because I clearly don’t get it.

Even though I probably have five or more chapsticks, I ended up going out and buying some more. I even got a new one that is medicated and is suppose to work better.

But still…how did I get chapped lips in the first place if I was using chapstick non-stop….not cool.
