Not Feeling Well

I was beginning to think that I may need an appetite suppressant of some sort, however just this weekend I began not feeling well and couldn't hardly eat. I think that helped my weight loss goal a lot. Now I am obviously feeling better and eating again, but I have decided that I am just going to try healthy eating for a while and see if that helps. If it doesn't I may look into some pill....but I'd like to try to do it naturally first. We'll see how driven I am.

Test Prep

I think technology has really helped a lot of people, especially those who are in school. Whether it be through online classes you take, or just being able to research online....the Internet helps a lot!! I recently came across a site that prepares GMAT prep tests and LSAT prep tests just for you! It's actually really neat and a resource I didn't know existed. What will they come up with next?!? I wanted to pass along the information for anyone who might be able utilize something like this. If I were in school and needing assistance like this, I would be all over it!

Alarm Systems

Although I feel I live in a fairly safe neighborhood with great people living around me, I've always considered getting wireless alarms of some sort for my place. I just think it never hurts to be safe...and to me, this day in age, we need to ensure our safety and the safety of our homes with alarm systems. At least there are many to choose from. I'm doing my research and will hopefully come across one that suits my needs best. I hoping to get it in the next couple of weeks. It's been on my mind for much longer than that, but only til' now am just getting serious in my search.

Paintball

I have never gotten into the Paintball sport, but think it would be fun. I've heard great things about ZephyrPaintball.com and all the Paintball Gear that they offer. They have extremely low prices and free shipping, so if you're into paintballing you should definitely check them out. I was amazed with the gear they offer! You'll find everything from paintball goggles, hoppers, ego paintball guns and more! They even carry many brands that you'd be familiar with like Dye, Kingman Spyder, Tippmann and Empire! Pretty impressive if you ask me! If you have never checked them out before, take a moment and head over to their website. You won't be sorry you did!! I know I'm not. I'm thinking this will help me get started with a sport I've always wanted to learn more about.

Down Time

I am SOOOOO happy it's Friday and the weekend can finally begin! I'm not sure about you, but this week just drug on forever it seemed. Usually my weeks go by fairly quickly, but even though I was busy 24/7...,it still took forever. I don't have to work this weekend (unless I get called I guess), so I'm hoping to just relax and rest up for a busy work week ahead. I've been working so much overtime lately that I'm a bit burnt out, so it will be nice just to have some down time I think. Hopefully it turns out that way.

Huge Slug!

Last night I was sitting in my living room and all of a sudden I saw a large shadow on my curtains coming from outside. It almost reminded me of a small snake or something. I pulled back the curtains, and what did I find?? A HUGE slug! I couldn't believe my eyes. I've seen slugs before, but nothing this huge. I had to take a picture and share it with everyone...as I thought it was worth seeing. I'm not sure if he showed up because I recently planted some new plants or what...but it was kinda gross!

Garage Sale

I have to admit that before this year, I never really thought it was worth people's time or money to have a garage sale. I learned differently though after my sister told me how well theirs went!! They had odds and ends, not really big stuff and made over 500 dollars total! I thought that was great for a small town garage sale. They must have had the kind of items people look for. Maybe I should have a garage sale one of these days....sounds like a good way to make some extra money, don't you think?
