Shopping TherapyPosted by Alli on May 15, 2008
Shopping therapy can be a way to relieve some of the stress of depression. Since I don’t leave the house much, I tend to stick to online window shopping looking at things like handbags, shoes, etsy, and ebay. When poking around Ebay, I like to stop and look at the unusual stuff too. I remember [...]
Car Rental SuggestionPosted by Alli on May 8, 2008
If you travel this summer and plan on flying, how do you think you will get around town? Do you have friends to chauffeur you? Borrow a car? Or do you plan on renting a car? We have only ever rented cars when it was part of our honeymoon package or after a car accident. [...]
Infinity ShoesPosted by Alli on May 7, 2008
While I was in Ohio, my mom and I went shoe shopping twice. McMom wanted to buy me some nice shoes, to give me a more complete look. I wasn’t about to turn her down because my summer shoes have been giving me problems with my feet and hip. The first store we went to [...]
Shopping and spoiled in OhioPosted by Alli on April 28, 2008
When I planned to visit my mom I made the request to return to Jeffersonville, Ohio to check out the Prime Outlet Mall. We went there last year and found some really great deals at the Talbot’s and Eddie Bauer outlets. Shopping in actual stores is not really my favorite past time. I prefer the [...]
Wal-Mart giving away reusable shopping bagsPosted by Alli on April 17, 2008
Our family frequents Wal-Mart at least once a week. I would prefer to make it less than that for money reasons, but it averages to about once a week. I was checking out Wal-Mart’s website today and noticed this: As part of Earth Month 2008, Wal-Mart and Kellogg’s will be partnering to give away one [...]
I got enV!Posted by Alli on April 16, 2008
Last week I got a new cell phone- the LG enV! I had the opportunity to pick out a new phone because the family plan I was on with my mom and sister changed to just me and my mom. The old LG phone I had was the basic model, with a camera and not [...]
On the radarPosted by Alli on April 12, 2008
Speaking of mother bribery, next month is the mother of all holidays- Mother’s Day. Since my anniversary was on Thursday and my husband’s birthday is next week and then I’m leaving at the end of the month… well, Mother’s Day hadn’t crossed my radar until yesterday when I stopped in the grocery store. I have [...]
What it is all aboutPosted by Alli on March 25, 2008
I did some shopping yesterday. One of the things I wanted to do was go to this cute store on Fraizer Avenue and check out their jewelry. Damon told me to find a shamrock to replace the one that went missing, and I decided to buy a real shamrock instead of a gold version. I [...]
Natural, Soft, and maybe StrongerPosted by Alli on March 24, 2008
I received a sample of a new shampoo and conditioner on the market: Naked Naturals. I have a love affair with my hair, and care significantly about the products I use on my hair, but I am not set in my ways. When it is time for me to replace shampoo or conditioner I can [...]
Peeps roasting over an open firePosted by Alli on March 22, 2008
My sister is visiting for the weekend. She and I went to the grocery store to pick up dinner stuff, some flowers, and marshmallows for roasting on the firepit. While we were at the store she had the genius idea to pick up some peeps to see how they liked the fire. Turns out roasting [...]
