A Walk At Dusk

So I went for walk last night with my husband, it was a nice stroll, nothing intense. We didn't go walking for exercise, more just to get out of the house. Some of you may know that the Yankees were not on tv, so my husband had no reason to sit on the couch and swear at the television. That poor tv, if it had ears it would either have a real complex or it would get up and whip him with the cord! (Yes, I have quite the imagination at time!)

So we decided that after the school year is over we are going to move and I couldn't be more thrilled! The hunt is on, new home, new town and hopefully a nice quiet neighborhood where I don't have to listen to the rap crap booming in cars at all hours of the night. My landlord was a little deceptive when we looked at this apartment. He told us it was a nice neighborhood, it was quiet and that turned out to be anything but the truth. Obviously it has been a long time sice he slept over here! Our neighbors have people over at 2 am with loud systems and yes they have no respect for others and they blast them. Granted, they may not have to work all day, buy we do. Besides that, they light up the street there are so many of them. My thoughts, shut off your freakin music and turn off the led tail lights. Didn't your parents teach you to have respect for others??

Ok rant over, I certainly can't wait to get the F* outta here!

Walking, Music and Great Deals

We all know exercise is good for us and whether you are trying to lose weight or you just want to be fit. I know many people who are thin and don't exercise, that surely doesn't mean they are fit though. Walking is a great exercise and almost anyone can do it.

Me personally, I find it hard to walk and not have music to listen to. If I have music to walk to it is as if the whole world is gone and there is no one around but me. Nothing else matters and it keeps me focused. My mind can be my own worse enemy at times, when I walk and don't have music I worry about what people are thinking about me and it is those thoughts that can kill my motivation. Some of them are "When will this be over" or "How much farther do I have to go" and/or "I can't wait till I get home", just to name a few. When I got my MP3 player all those thoughts seemed to disappear. So if you want to start walking, I suggest that you get yourself one of these great little machines, it will make walking or exercise of any kind much better, I promise.

How cute is that??

If you read my blog then you will know I LOVE a great deal and I am about to tell you of another deal find.

If you are like me and you want an MP3 player to listen to music and your not really worried about whether it is going to make breakfast for you, then check out this SanDisk Sansa Clip 2GB MP3 player. It is small yet it holds a ton of music and when I say a ton of music, I mean it. This 2GB player can hold up to 30 hours of music or get this, up to 500 songs! Yes, that is right, up to 500 songs, all depending on the length of the songs you put on there.

I must tell you, that is not my most favorite feature about this MP3 player. The feature I like the best is that I can still listen to my favorite radio stations on it! That's right, if the music you add gets old or if you are like me and like to listen to the lunch time remix, which I might add has some awesome walking music then you have the option of listening to something other than what you loaded on it yourself. And yes, I own one of these!

Now the all-important price and of course shipping. Buy.com is offering this SanDisk Sansa MP3 Player for $46.75 plus free budget shipping!

Taking Pride In Yourself

So my son is at that age where everything changes physically. At 13 your body is causing havoc!!! I swear the kid goes to be and wakes up taller everyday. I also have noticed some pimple surfacing. I never had them and I was hoping the same for Zachary but that doesn't seem to be the case. They aren't that bad and I hope they never do get really bad, but I still have been debating on whether or not to get him started on an acne treatment before it get full blown.

I have been on the "Take Pride In Yourself" kick with him. His father has a uni-brow and his inherited that unfortunately. Some people may think I am nuts but I recently took him to have his brow waxed! That's right, why wait until he is older, it was bothering him now and it only hurts for a little while! It is all about pride and if I can get him to care about himself now, then maybe we will never have any real hygiene issues later.

Ummmmm, Here I Go

I have hit a semi funk lately. I always have plenty to blog about, trust me my mind goes 100 MPH, I just don't take the time to get it in a post. Honestly, I have been off the wagon for a couple of weeks. I haven't gained any weight thanks to the walking but I also haven't been on point either. I wish dieting was as easy as obtaining a life insurance quote! So instead of getting on here and talking about it, I have been well, I guess you could say ignoring it. So once again I am hoping back on the wagon. I guess this is all part of the way it goes, maybe one day it will just sink in and there will be none of this on again of again crap.
