Time to relax

One of the best ways to relax and unwind from a long day at work or a loud exhausting day at home the the kids is so go to the spa. It doesn't matter what you are going for you will leave happy. Many spas offer massage, facials, waxing, nails and many other services.

Everywhere you look there is a Spa salon, the clean and professional upper class salons have their therapists wear salon or spa uniforms, which helps to keep the imagine of a high class place. After an hour or so you will leave refreshed and ready to make another appointment. If money is tight then you could buy spa accessories to help recreate the wonderful feeling at home.

I am not a regular at the spa but it is a great treat to get a gift certificate to go or to go with a bridal party. If you are reading this an have never been to a spa, I say splurge and spend the money its an experience that you shouldn't miss out on even if you can only afford that one visit it will be well worth it.

Salon uniforms

Free sheet music! I'm in : )

As many of you know I love playing guitar. Although I wish I was better then what I am. I have been playing since Jr. high off and on, which is probably the reason I'm not as good as I think I should be. How ever It's still fun and I can keep myself amused for hours singing and picking, my two guitars. Surprisingly their not Yamaha Like my Quad their Ibanez. One acoustic one electric!

One of the fun things I like to do is find piano sheet music, and transfer it over to play on the guitar. It's really helps you learn how to read and teaches you all the notes on the neck of the guitar. Plus I can amuse kids in between songs with little cartoon themes like Popeye, or Pink Panther and kid song like twinkle twinkle little star, Bingo, ect. There is a lot of free piano sheet music online.

My son really really loves music. he has a guitar, but I would like him to take piano lessons. I think It helps with learning guitar by learning how to read piano sheet music, exercises the fingers, and helps those parts of your brain develop that you use to control both hands at the same time while not looking. I still have trouble, I can only focus on one hand at a time grrr.

Getting ready for winter

It's that time, preparing for the cold season. I have been working around the house, sealing cracks in the foundation, weatherproofing windows and doors, and stacking wood. We have oil, and last year with cost on the rise, we decided to put in a wood burning stove to keep the cost down. It worked out keeping the cost down.......but I really hate stacking wood. I just don't have the time.

Maybe I convince my wife of a alternative. Pexheat.com offers radiant floor heating. My selling pitch to her will be "Nice warm toes as you walk barefoot on our hardwood floors to make some hot chocolate for our kid that's out playing in the snow." If that doesn't work then I'll show her the Pexheat.com website of there recession busting translucent tubing. Tubing that will keep cost down on installation.

I Recently celebrated our 5th anniversary!
Which brought up the story of my wife trying to find a pair bridal shoes she liked. I guess she made many trips to the local shops, some not so local! She also had many people calling, emailing, and texting, her different places to go to. Now she only wishes, she tried Zappos.

Zappos has free shipping and a 365 day return policy. If you shop for bridal shoes online order them enough in advance so that you can try them on, and be able to return them if they don't fit. You most likely would not want to suffer in a too small of a pair of bridal shoes. It's suppose to be the perfect day, so make sure your feet feel that way!

Here's a link to Zappos bridal shoe section, you will find they have a wide range of brands, styles, and also have dyeables.

Where the F have I been : )

Yes, I know, your probably wondering where I have been, or if I just gave up blogging. The answer is no, I'm still here. I have alot going on right now. I have some extra time tonight, so I will catch you up......

Remember Christmas? When Robbie had a little trip to the E.R. He is now having surgery Friday. The tip of his finger is dead. I feel terrible like some how I should of prevented it.

We finally got our downstairs rented. just in time, work has been slow, they just cut two workers our to 32. They haven't touched any of my 50hr but there's a good chance it may come down to that. I spent alot of time cleaning and painting the downstairs. I had to fix a clogged drain too, which lead me into tearing apart the coal room looking for the snake. That made another huge project, because I threw averything in the garage where I have been working out.

Two people have brought a smile to my face Madison who was asking about my Myspace blog I had that was mostly about Hector and his fictional adventures, and how she misses it. The second person is Delaney, who tagged me, and awarded me. Thank you!

Collage (Dirty Hands)

Hey Everyone, I know I haven't been on in awhile. I have had a tooth ache, so I haven't felt like blogging. Hopefully It will be removed tuesday, and things will go back to normal. I did want to make a post to share this collage I made. Hope you enjoy!

p90x (day 5)

I missed my Music Monday : (
Not because of this p90x, that is taken over my blog, It was because I wasn't feeling good. Part of my New Year Resolution was to cut back on the coffee, well I started getting my no cafiene head aches. Today after work I had a small cup, home made not Dunkins, and I was able to snap back.

Today was day 5 legs and back, and of course the Ab ripper x.
I have taken a before picture, I will post after I see some results. If i get any, one thing i have notice since I been working out is, I'm hungry and thirsty all the time. On the good side i have been more refreshed. What I mean is on the weekend when it was my turn to sleep in, I got up earlier then normal.

p90x (day 3)

Today I watched the video shoulders and arms, I did more then watch! it's about a hour long, today went smoother then the other two days. I think once I catch on things will start to flow much better, then I will kick it up a notch. I will admit tacken it easy, trying to lean the excercise and figure out the resitance bands. Some excercises you have to loop it to get any tension because of the lenght. Unfurtunetly they slide from under my feet. I don't where shoes during my work out because of the snowy wheather.

15 excercises

1. Alternating shoulder presses
2. In and out bicep curls
3. two arm tricep kickbacks
4. Deep swimmer's presses
5. Full supination concentration curls
6. Chair dips
7. Upright rows
8. Static arm curls
9. Flip grip twist tricep kickbacks
10. Two angle shoulder flys
11. Crouchen cohen curls
12. Lying down tricep extensions
13. In and out striaght arm shoulder flys
14. Congdon curls
15. Side tri rises

Oh I forgot to mention two sets of each, and after that I did the Ab ripper x about a twenty minute excercise video just for the Abs. I did that on Day on day one I did much better this time. I found this Youtube video of someone doing the Ab ripper x. He makes it look easy, check it out!

p90x

Yesterday I bought a Yoga pad and some resistance bands to start my training. I'm using p90x as a template, meaning I most likely will cut corners. Like their recomened diet or suplements. A better example is on day one I was soposed to keep track of how many reps I did and with what wieghts. I didn't, but I most likely will next time. It is a good idea, it will help me find out how many reps, and what bands to use.

Day one: Chest and Back, and then Ab ripper x

Today was Day two: Plyometrics
