Hopefully this weekend we will still be experiencing some of this nice weather that we have been enjoying lately. There is a new flea market that just opened up that the wife and I would like to visit. Going to a flea market is a good way to spend a few hours. It gets us outside, out of the house, it’s good exercise and we always meet some of the nicest people there and on occasion we manage to find a nice treasure to bring home.
The wife and I have been discussing various things that we would like to do when our tax refund check shows up in the mail in the near future. We did pretty good this year, we had a lot of deductions and made good use of all of the receipts that we kept in our tax shoe box, that are such a pain in the neck to deal with. But it was well worth the extra effort it took in order the get the best bang for our buck.
We both have things that we would like to see done with the money. Most of it will be used for things concerning the house. She has her eyes on a nice hanging wine glass rack that she has found online at Glassstemwareracks.com. She is good at finding good deals on the Internet and found a site that offers all kinds of wine glass racks for sale that she was showing me last night. I’m good with that and see no reason why we can’t spend a few bucks on nice quality looking wine glass rack. She has good taste and I’m usually right on board with most things that she finds to spend our money on.
YouTube is full of the most wonderful music and videos. I find myself spending more and more time there looking up music, old and new and from all walks of life. U2 has always been one of my favorite bands through out the years and I’m pleased to find a good amount of their music on YouTube. This particular song “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” is one of my favorites.
I swear that I don’t know if it is hard, or if it’s fun to be a female in this society. So many women are so worried about their clothes. They spend a fortune trying to keep up with new fashion trends! With men, it is a lot easier to deal with fashion. Yes, there are still trends, but it is not quite so worrisome to us; we are more than happy to wear the same outfit for years on end! But so many women are so worried about what “everyone else will think” if they wear the same clothes for several years.
My wife recently bought several sets of slimming clothes that really minimized her problem areas and maximized her natural beauty. I think that it’s great that designers are paying more attention to pleasing shoppers in that regard. And I have to admit, I would encourage everyone to be investing money in ecological friendly clothes if they are going to buy new clothes anyway. But if you don’t really NEED new clothes, then I would encourage people to just keep wearing what you have!
Seems as if everyone in town has come down with a stomach virus this week! So far no one in my household has caught it, but I suppose it is just a matter of time before we catch it too. The other day I was watching a young mother in a pharmacy dragging her sick children around the store, killing time while their prescriptions were being filled. The kids were touching all kinds of things throughout the store and the mother was putting them back on the shelves. I remember thinking about how the innocent person who comes behind them and buys those items are going to be exposed to whatever illness the kids have! Isn’t it awful, to be thinking of things like that?
