Thursday & Friday

Thursday, August 16th, 2007
Spend most of the day cleaning out the closet and doing some other frivolous things around the house.
Initially went for a 40 minute walk which turned into an hourJ Good for me, hehehe! It felt good though nice strong powerful walk. Definitely had my HR up and in the appropriate zone.

no walk and only 7281 steps for the day.
We ended up going out of town, driving a lot and running errands. Our only 2 year old 42" Flat Screen Plasma TV crapped out on us. DH "needed" a new one:). He just can't live with a big old red stripe running across the monitor. So from store to store we went, and luckily we ended up with a much smaller one, only 32" LCD (I like small TVs, much less invasive:). And since he saved some $$ he finally got himself the Bose sound system he always wanted, finally!! Also told him to get the extended no fault warranties, now we have 5 years without worries on either products.
I got a little new toy as well:) New Home Designer Software. I love it. Seeing what your home actually is going to look like in 3D is pretty awesome. And it helps so much to make a decision on whether or not to do something. I just have to be careful and remember to get away from the computer. I was "designing around" until 3 am this morning.
We were also looking for a new mattress and bed. We are thinking tempur-pedic. Does anyone here have one? And do you like it? Are they worth all that money?
Photograph: I also got two new pairs of running shoes, Nike and Mizuno, for under $120. I was lucky. Sports Authority has the best prices as is, the $85 dollar Nike is $120 elsewhere and the Mizuno was on clearance for $49.95. But if you bought one regular price shoe you got the already on clearance items for another 50% off. Now I have two great pairs.
