I’m a very practical person.  I like everything to do “double duty.”  I’m not the kind of person who wants to fill up the house with things just because they are pretty, I want them to have a practical purpose as well.  And I want things to be “unique.”  Not like something that everyone else has.  That’s one reason why I love the dress seiko watches at the bluedial.com website.  My favorite is the Seiko SYL723 Ladies Stainless Steel Asymmetrical Design Dress Watch.  It has to be one of the most unusual, yet most elegant watch I’ve seen in a very long time.  I’m putting that watch on my “wish list” for the next gift-giving occasionso that when my hubby asks me what I’d like for a gift I can tell him!  If you like great watches too, the bluedial.com website is a good place to find one!

My hubby gave me a pair Acorn Slippers yesterday.  The wool slipper socks that are so comfy and warm.  His boss brought them home with him from a business trip to Binghamton New York, where he had stopped in at Hank’s Clothing to say hello to an old friend.  While he was there he bought several pairs of the slippers because they were on sale for a good price.  It’s nice that his boss brings home gifts like that for his staff when he travels! 

 He said that he knew that I had been struggling to keep my feet warm, and with the cold snap we are having, he wanted me to have the slippers.  He said that his friend that works at Hanks recommended them for their warmth and comfort.

Now that baby is walking, and claiming some independence, I’ve decided to start to leave him with my mother-in-law a few times a week to get him used to being around others while I’m not around.  I’ll be going back to work soon, and I think doing this seperation thing in stages is a good thing for both of us!  So I’ve signed up to take some ballet classes from a local ballet studio that holds adult ballet classes.  I used to take ballet when I was young, and I really enjoyed it.  Dancing is a good way to get back in shape, and taking dance classes is less stressful to me than going to the gym because in a dance class there are no men gaping at you!  I’ve been looking at the Capezio Dance website to see what kind of dancewear that they carry for me to buy.  It is impressive the huge line of dancewear they carry – from unitards body tights to Custom Ballet Slippers!

My uncle just bought a used audi.  He is thrilled to pieces about it; he’s always wanted an audi but could never afford one.  He came across a cream puff that he just couldn’t pass up.  He’s been telling me that he wants to turbocharge his car because it is supposed to improve performance and increase gas mileage. 

I thought turbo chargers turned cars into “muscle cars” and made them more powerful but decreased gasoline mileage, but my uncle tells me that is not the case at all.  He’s asked me to help him find an audi turbocharger over the Internet, so I’ve been looking around and found a good deal on them at the turbochargerpros.com website.  If you are thinking about turbocharging your car, check them out!

Yesterday I was shopping and was delighted to find fleece lined jeans for $19.50 in the menswear department! I love flannel lined and fleece lined jeans, and the ones I wore last winter were getting a little bit threadbare (yes, I wore them THAT MUCH!) so I bought a pair. I would have bought more, but they only had one pair in my size. I don’t know why they don’t sell great stuff like that in the ladies department – they must think that women don’t get cold! I am wearing them right now, they are nice and toasty warm! I definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a little extra warmth in the cooler seasons!
