Taking My Vitamins

As I keep getting my life back in order little by little after law school and the bar exam, one thing on my list was to take my vitamins again. I used to have quite a vitamin regimen, all designed for anti-aging and anti-cancer. I don't want to look old, and I don't want cancer. (It has run in my family--both looking old and cancer.) So at one point, I was taking about 15-16 supplements. Well, at one point, I fell off the wagon. Who has time to open all of those bottles when you are studying for tests? Anyway, lately I have been noticing I need a little freshen up look and I want to get my health back in order, so I have been taking supplements again. I have not built up to the number I took before, but I am getting there. Again, I want anti-aging and anti-cancer effects. The latest one I added was calcium supplements. I am looking forward to realizing all of the benefits such a regimen brings.

Wandering Around The Big Easy

I am in New Orleans for the Rotary International Convention and am having a great time. I haven't been to the Big Easy in a long time. Have to report that things look like they are back to business, at least in the French Quarter. Of course, this is not news. New Orleans has been up and running for a long time. But it is the first time I have seen it since Katrina. Last night there was all kind of frivolity in the French Qurater. Surprise, Surprise! In addition to the drinking, there was cigar smoke wafting all around. I am not a smoker, but I do like the smell of cigar smoke. Between the signs for karioke, 3 for 1 drinks, gentlemen's club and such, I saw some buy dutch master cigars signs too. I am going to go out tonight again after the meetings, so there will be more fun to have.

A Good Watch Is On My List

I am traveling more these days, and making a little more money (Yay!) so I am thinking about what I need to get that would make my life easier or better. One is a new watch. I have a basic watch that I picked up in an airport a couple of years ago. It is OK, not great. The watch face is getting discolored for some reason. It doesn't float my boat if you know what I mean. I am going to be looking at new watches. Maybe fossil watches, or momentum watches. I am going to have to look online to see what type I want. Would love to have a watch that I can show off!

Getting New Carpeting This Weekend

I am so excited! I am on my last fix-er-up project for my condo at the moment--getting new carpeting. My old carpeting is looking pretty ragged. This new carpeting is a little darker--darker than beige but not brown. I have had beige carpeting for so long, and it always gets nasty looking quickly. Especially with animals in the house. So I think this will hold up better. And my cats are a little older now, so they don't claw at the carpeting so much. I did get a cheaper version however, just in case they do. No sense in spending a lot now and a lot later to redo. This will be fine for right now. Just don't know what I am going to do about my TV in my bedroom and all of the ps3 hdmi cables attached, when they do the carpeting in there. Hate for the TV and wires and such to be unhooked and then have to be reattached. Maybe they know how to deal with it easily. Hope so! I don't want more inconvenience than necessary. And a messed up TV in the bedroom is inconvenienc.e

Looking For New Sklncare Products

Now that I almost (almost) have time to think about health and beauty, I am wanting to find some great skincare products. I used to be so good at these kinds of things, and then I fell down on the job during law school. I want to look my best, and to do that, I need to spend some time on myself. When I go to the mall, there is a kiosk that sells some great skincare products--dead sea salts, that makes your skin feel so new and soft. I have not bought any yet--still looking around. I might also check into gratiae and see what those products are like. This summer is going to be my spa summer for sure! I'm going to be buff and pretty!

Want To Look Younger

I need to continue working on getting my health back up to snuff. I need to still eat better, even though I have made some progress there; I need to get more exercise (I did get a pedometer and see that I need to walk more!)' and I need to get more sleep. I have ridiculous sleep habits now--started in law school. Staying up late working on freelance writing or law projects, laying on the sofa to relax and watch a little TV and then i fall asleep there, only to wake up later and have to go to the bed. Not good for sleep. And that is not good for you. I am also thinking about taking hgh pills but may tak to my doctors about that.

All Of These Storms And The Damage

It was a year ago that we had the horrible flood in Nashville. And then there have been similar floods around the country. And then the tornadoes! It seems like there is one thing after another. Driving around, you see a lot of downed trees and people out there with an echo chainsaw and other tools to take care of the problem. Wish all of this would stop for a while. People need a chance to recover.

New York Living

Post contributed by Hilton Miranda

My mom knows how much I’ve missed my TV since I moved to New York, so she suggested I go to Cleartvbundle.com and check out some TV and internet bundle deals. Well, I found one that actually works for me and now I’m connected at home. It’s like a whole new life! I’ve already made some really good friends here, and I love nothing more than having the girls over so we can watch a little TV. Our favorite thing to put on is, of course, Sex and the City reruns! They’re so entertaining and we rea! lly see ourselves in the characters. It’s fun being able to relate to their situations and identify with the fun places they’ve been in the city now that we’re all living here too. I couldn’t begin to afford their lavish clothes or fancy studio apartments, but it’s fun to live vicariously through Carrie and the girls! We’re not quite as wild as them, but we do like to go out and have fun in the big city!
