big box retailers

I've been shopping for workout clothes again lately, what with the coming of winter. I buy my workout clothes cheap, at big box retailers. It really irritates me that I wind up buying most of my clothes at Walmart... I buy there because they have better quality and cheaper clothes than comparable retailers (Target and Kmart), but their parking lot is such a mess around here that I really try to avoid them as much as possible! Kmart is so much easier to get in and out of, plus I can almost always find good kmart coupons in the Sunday paper. But alas, as long as Walmart is cheaper, they'll keep drawing me back... sigh.

winter

I know it can't be avoided, but I am NOT enjoying the coming of winter! I love the warmth of summer, and it's just hard for me to enjoy when I have to exchange my tank tops, shorts, and flip flops for jeans, t-shirts, and Lucchese Boots. As it gets colder, I'll have to layer long-sleeve shirts and other warm clothes. And, brrr. I just don't like it! :)

Taking in some culture with a Grease play

Guest post written by Angelina Cox

I'm not someone that you could say likes to take in a whole bunch of high brow culture. You certainly won't see me going to the opera or going to some fancy art exhibit, much less buying anything at one. But one thing that I really do love doing is going and seeing some musicals. I don't get to do it that often because of my mommy and work schedule, but it really is a great thing I have to say.

I first heard that there was going to be a Grease play in our area a few months ago. As soon as I heard about that, I went online to see if I could buy some tickets for it immediately so I wouldn't miss out on seeing it. When I was online doing that, I ran across some info on miracle ear and after I read through ti some I decided to switch over to some new hearing aids. I wasn't very satisfied with the ones that I'd been using.

I really was quite glad that I went and saw it with my best friend. It reminded me just how much I loved the movie and it was a great girls' night out!

house

Stupid Blogger. I just composed a nice long post about an episode of House and doctor uniforms and all kinds of other medical goodness, and Blogger deleted it. Boo.

There was another earthquake a few minutes ago. I guess my house must be really well-built, because I didn't feel it. I haven't felt any of the earthquakes in the past couple of days. I have a lot of friends who are acting frightened and nervous because of all these earthquakes, but I'm just... not! For starters, these earthquakes have NOT been severe or caused major damage. For another thing... if it happens, it happens. You just deal with it. Being frightened serves no good purpose!!

jewelry

I'm not a huge fan of jewelry, but I keep thinking that one of these days I should find a couple pieces of jewelry and wear them more regularly. Something like stainless steel necklaces or rings, maybe. The big thing for me is that any jewelry has to be more or less waterproof... I don't want to have to take them off and put them on again every time I exercise or shower. I have one silicone bracelet which actually works well, and it would be awesome if I could find a couple of cute silicone thumb rings.
