Teri has been talking about putting up some screens in the basement to partition off a part of it to create an exercise room.  She has been on a “let’s exercise more” kick since New Years.  Yeah, it’s one of her resolutions.  Neither one of us needs to lose any weight, but she has decided that we don’t exercise enough.  I agreed to give it a try, as long as we had a television down there to watch while we were exercising.So we have spent several hours moving things around in the basement to make room for the equipment.   So now we are in the process of picking out some carpeting and screens to make the place a little bit nicer.  There is nothing enticing about bare concrete walls and floors!

I’m sure that once we get the samsung lcd tv, the Reebok exercise ball, the Proform elliptical, the treadmill, and the room divider screens up, the carpet down, and a small refrigerator down there (for cold water) it will look like a respectable exercise room.  I just hope she (we) stick to it.  I hate to waste the time, effort, and money to set up something that won’t get used!  I do know one thing, though, we won’t be able to use the excuse that we don’t feel like going out to the gym because of bad weather!

I have no problem ordering work clothes online. I look for sites that have decent return policies and the rest is pretty easy. I’m not too hard to please when it comes to workwear clothing. We do spend a good amount of time in our work wear but I’m not out to impress anyone while on the clock. Dave’s New York has a great website that I order from a few times a year. Teri found it for me and they get a lot of my business. They have a great variety of brand names that I know I can rely on and have good prices for the work clothing that I find that I need every now and then.

When I’m at home a good comfortable pair of blue jeans are what I’m all about. There is something about an old broken in pair of jeans, that just can’t be thrown out, that feel so darn good on the body all year round. Teri would like to see me dress up more, but there really isn’t any need for it for the most part. I do have two suits in the closet that I have if needed, and I would be just as happy to never have to pull either one of them out, ever.

So if you are looking for good quality work clothes, that are affordable, I feel comfortable in passing the good word for davesnewyork.com.

I’m glad that they just opened up a new Starbucks in town. It has a drive through which is an important feature for me. I hate having to go some where, find a parking place and then to stand in line. Being able to drive up and drive away with all that I want and need is more my style.

I am hoping to get a chance this week to get all the paperwork gathered up that I have been collecting all year in order to get my tax return filed. It is a real pain in the rear, but well worth the hassle in order to receive as much cash back that I can each year from good old Uncle Sam and our friends at the IRS.

I’ve really been wanting to buy a new laptop. I was kind of hoping that I would have received one for Christmas, but that didn’t happen, oh well you can’t get everything that is on your Christmas wish list. A nice dell studio 15 would be nice and I’m keeping my eyes peeled for online deals to take advantage of when I get my check in the mail in the next few weeks. Of course a nice new samsung lcd tv would be sweet as well. Guess we will have to see what H & R Block have to say about the whole sordid affair.

I do the majority of my purchasing online these days. I’ve never been a fan of shopping, going to one of the local malls or to Wal Mart just isn’t my idea of a fun time. So ordering online works out well with me. There are deals to be found for online shoppers and don’t mind taking the time to look for them since I’m on my computer so much of the time any ways. I’ve just ran across a sweet deal for a timex ironman watch on Become.com that is 20% off. That is a nice savings and I’ve been meaning to pick up a new watch………………….

Teri has been thinking about trading in her eyeglasses for the latest contact lenses.  She’s seen some designer lenses that have special effects like cat’s eyes and she thinks she wants to buy a pair!  I’ve never seen anything like them, except for in the movies!  I think that the new contact lens technology where you can do things like that and make them affordable to the average consumer is awesome!  I think that the contact lens technology is growing in leaps and bounds!
