Don't Overlook Life Insurance
I am one of the few people in life who may not need a lot of life insurance. I am a NMNK, or never married, no kids. So at least as of right now, I don't need to pay for any kids' college or leave a spouse in a certain financial situation. But I know plenty of people who do need life insurance, and lots of it. And you never know when my situation may change. I need to check the life insurance rate for my age and the amount of benefit I would want. As with many things in life, with life insurance it may be better to be safe than sorry.
Credit Insurance And Extended Warranties
Some people scoff at credit insurance and extended warranties. I would not take out insurance for every debt I have, but mortgage life insurance would be valuable. Especially in this climate when people are losing their homes hand over fist. What if you were to die, and your spouse or beneficiaries couldn't pay the mortgage and consequently lost the home?
I have an extended warranty on my car, and I am so glad. It has paid for itself time and again in just three short years. I wouldn't be without it, for sure. I understand the views of those against it--that rather than paying for the warranty or such, just save up money to pay in cash when a problem arises. But how many people can save up thousands of dollars to pay for repairs?

Have I Met The One?
Oh, come on. I am smarter than to say something like that. I have met someone online. Okay, I know that is not meeting them in person yet. But one can dream, right? He is nice looking and educated. Seems to have ambition, yet laid back. He says he is easy going. Have I found my laid-back executive I am seeking? Only time will tell. Watch this space.
Need To Update My Blogs
I attended a blogging conference, and it was great. Good to be around like minds. I am a word person, and I miss not working with other word people. So, the conference enabled me to be around a lot of word people for a change. And of course some techies were thrown in as well. I learned a lot of valuable info, not the least of which was how to submit your blog to a web directory or too. I need to do some updates to my blogs, but there is never enough time. Ya know? But I will do it soon.
Finding The Perfect Skin Cream
One thing I have been avid about is keeping my face looking young. Even during law school and bar study, I made taking care of my skin a priority. And I am so glad. I look at some of my friends' faces and they have a lot of cheek wrinkles. These are people both my age and younger than me! Everyday I use sunscreen and face wrinkle cream. I gently suggested to my friends' a number of years ago the value of using sunscreen and other preventive products, and they had a million excuses why they didn't want to use them. Well, the proof is in the treatment jar!
It Is So Nice To Spend Some Time At Home
I am spending this afternoon (Friday after Thanksgiving) at home, catching up on my housework and, of course, my blog writing! I got my nails done this morning (both mani and pedi) and have come home. I have been doing laundry and cleaned out one cupboard. I really need to go to the post office before it closes. I feel so happy doing all of this. My life is so hectic and crazy, just a nice day like this renews my energy.
Looking After My Doggy Stoopot
My doggy Stoopot is strong and lively, but he is getting older. Not that you would know that by looking at him. He is lean and sleek and runs like the wind. Everyone comments on how fast he is at the dog park. Makes me proud! But, since he is getting older, I do want to start paying attention to what I need to do for him. Maybe I should change his diet or give him pet supplements just to make sure he is getting what he needs as he gets older. I will go into the pet store sometime soon and start looking to see what there is for older pets.
