The Shopping Maniac on January 24th, 2012

I had the best sleep that I’ve had in about 6 months the other night. I can’t believe how deeply I slept on Sunday night.

I don’t think I moved for about 6 hours. I remember waking up really early in the morning when the phone rang and I managed to fall back asleep in the same position that I feel asleep in originally and I didn’t wake up for another three or four hours. The only thing that might have made my sleep better would have been curling up with one of those body pillows.

I think the only reason I slept that well though was because I was on a major cleaning spree for the three days prior to that deep sleep. So it took three days of major physical activity to knock me out. I didn’t not sleep anywhere near that well the next night.

I wish I could have a deep sleep like that every night!

The Shopping Maniac on January 17th, 2012

It looks like my sister is taking advantage of some of the great January sales that are going on. I was talking with her the other day and she told me about seeing this deal at a local store for a 3D 50″ LED TV with a Home Theater, a TV stand and a Harmony remote control. I can’t remember if the TV she was talking about was a Samsung or one of the LED lg tvs but it sounded like a great deal to me. It was something like $1500.00 for the whole package.

As it turns out she went to the store just the other day and ended up buying an upgraded version of the TV that was in that package, but just a little smaller. I think she’s going to be really happy with her new TV. She has a slightly older model of TV right now so I’m sure she’ll be thrilled this Friday once the new TV and home theatre is delivered and installed.

I’ve got a nice Plasma TV but I know the LED’s are really nice. Someday .. when my Plasma stops working I’ll probably switch to an LED too. Do you have a nice flat screen TV at home?

I’ve been under so much stress lately that I’m thinking of taking up yoga or some form of meditation. I didn’t think of it myself if I’m going to be perfectly truthful, it was actually suggested to me by someone I was talking to last week. At this point I think I’ll try just about anything. I’m very stressed – during the day and even at night – it’s even affecting my sleep. So, if I can manage to bring some peace into my life through meditation I’m all for it.

Now to equip myself with the necessary supplies … yoga mat bags, yoga gear, yoga DVD … what else? Maybe I should check around and see if there’s some kind of yoga class nearby? A cheap one. I don’t have a lot of money and I don’t expect that to change in the near future. Actually that’s part of my stress, I think my fiances are going to drastically change for the worse in the next month or two so anything free is good.

Any suggestions?
