Cleaning and decluttering!

by

Last week I was on a major cleaning spree. I was concentrating on cleaning our smallest spare bedroom. I guess I was concentrating on that room because my sister in law was coming for a visit this past weekend and she was going to be staying in that room … so naturally I wanted the room to be clean. However, I also wanted to room to be clean because I’ve been busy decluttering the house and this room was just part of a long list of areas I’m decluttering.

I got rid of a lot of stuff from that room. Clothes, old computer gear and even a Keyboard that had a problem with one of it’s switches. I hated getting rid of that keyboard! It was kind of like this mpk 49 model. It was my keyboard that I’d had for years and years. My husband played it every now and then, but he mostly plays his guitars. I should have kept the keyboard and tried to fix it.

Oh well …

Well .. I guess I’ve got the jump on spring cleaning this year. I’ll be painting and renovating by the time spring arrives this year!

What a great deal on an LED TV

by

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?

Time for the annual Christmas show at work

by

My husband is going to be playing guitar at our hospitals’ annual Christmas event this coming Thursday. He’s been been busy picking out songs and practicing them on his guitar over the last month and a half or so. He’s also been taking his guitar to work to practice with one of the doctors he works with as well as a few other people that he works with in the hospital that will be joining them in performing.

I might stroll over to the hospital on Thursday to watch the show. I’ve certainly put in my time listening to all the practice guitar chords – I think I deserve to hear the finished product … plus I’ll get to hear the rest of the “group” too.

Does your workplace have an annual holiday event? Do employees put on any kind of talent show or anything like that? That’s one of the things that I like about the hospital – there’s this Christmas performance every year, but there’s also a talent show usually in June or July I believe and that’s always fun.

Trying to get some Christmas shopping done

by

Well it’s already November and as usual I still haven’t started my Christmas shopping yet. Oh I know – some of you reading this have been finished for months. I know, I know! Still … there are plenty of you out there that are in the same boat as me – you either haven’t started shopping yet or you’ve only just started … or worse, you might not get started until the week or so before Christmas. I’ve done that too!

I would like to get some, if not all, of my Christmas shopping done before November is over if that’s possible. I’d love to be finished before the stores and malls are crowded with people. Better yet – I might even be able to do some of my Christmas shopping online. I found a site that has some great ideas for personalized mens gifts and that might help me cross a few names off my list.

How are you doing with your Holiday shopping? Did you start yet? One thing that I know for sure – I’m going to try not to spend too much this year!

Time to haul out the the Wii and do a little Cardio Boxing

by

I was upstairs in one of our spare bedrooms earlier today and I came across my balance board for my Wii. A flush of guilt came over me when I discovered the board because I haven’t used it in oh … two years!

I’ve used the Wii game more recently than the Wii board, but not all that often. I love doing things like cardio boxing. Now that the weather is beginning to get cooler and I’ll be cooped up in the house more I probably should start using the Wii more often again. I wish I could find something my husband would like on the Wii … hmmm maybe the wii guitar since he is after all a musician. LOL

Do you Wii? If you do, do you use it as a game or as a form of fitness? As you can see I use it more for fitness than game although I find it fun either way.
