Working from home, I still need to take a lunch hour to refresh myself and regroup. Since my husband also is home for lunch, most of the time we spend it together. In this tough economy, we don’t eat out very often–maybe once a week if we plan for it. My lunch hour is often a good time to run errands, like going to the post office or to the grocery store for something I need to help us get through until the next big shopping trip. But mostly, my hubby and I like to take our lunch hour here at home down in the den, watching DIRECTSTAR TV on our big screen television while eating our lunch off of TV trays. We love to look for half-hour comedy shows or a fun cooking show. Satellite TV offers us so many choices, and shorter, fun programming is just what we need to give our minds and bodies a break from the nine-to-five workday grind. Once we’re finished with our lunch, we sit back, put up our feet, and watch the second half-hour show. It gives us the little mid-day getaway rest that settles down our minds so that when we return to work, we are refreshed and ready to tackle our projects with a fresh perspective. Lunch and satellite TV–now that’s a winning combination!

My friend just bought a brand new Jeep Liberty and she’s been super happy with it. All I’ve ever owned are Chrysler vehicles so I’m no stranger to the brand I think the Liberty’s look so sleep but the Car Connection only gave them a 6.8 rating.. boo. But they didn’t even give the Mercedes SI-Class that good of a rating, only a 7.7? Lame! I could always go the Chester the Molester route and get a Chevrolet Express LOL. I didn’t even know they still made vans that creepy looking.

I became a homeowner in March! I was able to tax advantage of the $8,000 tax credit and get into a gorgeous brand-new-never-lived-in house on a beautiful side of town. I’ve never felt so lucky, honestly.

I had been living in a fourplex for the past 4 years, which I used to really like. It was a nice apartment but in a horrible area. The straw that broke the camel’s back was a shooting that happened in front of my doorstep. I was outside with my dog and noticed a car full of people at the end of our driveway… and they were just staring at me. I had become so cold to all the suspicious activity from living in the neighborhood for so long that I didn’t really thing twice about it. I take my dog inside and 5 minutes later, gunshots. Someone from the car had broken into the apartment directly facing mine, literally a few feet away, and they exchanged gunfire. Both the intruder and my neighbor both shot each other. My neighbor was taking a shower with his gun when the guy broke in (to collect a drug debt), so obviously he knew it was coming. One of them crawled out of the apartment on his elbows and laid in the driveway, pooling blood, while the other laid shot in the shower. It was a crazy thing to see. And knowing that I was outside just seconds before it happened was enough for me to give my 30 days notice to my landlord the next morning.

So the move was the most major thing that’s happened this year. In June I got “promoted” at work, so I’ve been adjusting to my new position. I’m now responsible for the bookkeeping and accounting, which was a completely new thing for me. Math has never been my forte, so it’s been a learning experience for sure. I like it though. I was ready for the challenge. 

Other then that I’ve just been working on getting moved in. Yeah, I technically moved in 5 months ago, but I’m still not unpacked! Shopping for house stuff is so fun too. Now I walk through Home Depot with a purpose LOL. We just finished landscaping the backyard. My boyfriend owns a landscaping company so that was convenient They installed irrigation and hauled 22 tons of decorative rock! We went and picked out an apple tree, two pomegranate trees and a tangelo tree to plant. The tangelo tree is so special to me because my grandparents had tangelo trees too. One of my favorite memories as a child is picking tangelos with my grandma. Everytime I look at my own tangelo tree I think of them. It’s my way of always keeping them close to my heart and that is really a priceless gift for me.

I’m still doing web design, and more importantly, still loving it! I’m a busy girl but I wouln’t want it any other way. Man, I miss blogging here

Plus I get to go cozy sweater SHOPPING! I love me some hoodies in the winter. I’m sort of getting sucked into the Ed Hardy black hole. He has some pretty sharp threads. And of course, I love the fact that my beloved Zappos carries the Ed Hardy brand in all of it’s Hardy glory.

Oh, did I mention November is also fabulous because it’s my birthday month? I’m turning 25 in exactly ONE week. Jesus I’m old.

Well feast your eyes my dear minions. Zappos now sells CLOTHING with the same awesome prices, free shipping and free paid returns. And they don’t have the crappy fly-by-night brands either. We’re talking Tommy Bahama, Ed Hardy, Dolce & Gabbana, Hugo Boss… I could go on for paragraphs really. So back to the free shipping; Nonly is it FREE but it’s ridiculously FAST. I ordered a “Just Cavalli” top on Monday morning and received it on Tuesday. It’s like heaven on earth for shopping addicts such as myself

One of my favorite shoe resouces is Zappos. I found them in Marie Claire magazine a few months ago. They have the sexiest inventory of sandals I have ever witnessed! I am pretty much in love with the pair of Cole Haan’s they have featured right now. Yummy! I bet retailmenot has some sweet discount coupons. And did I mention they have free shipping? Shopping is love <3
