Saint Patrick’s Day

Filed under: Fun, General Living, Religion and/or Faith — Copa @ 4:29 pm

Next Wednesday, which is March 17th is Saint Patrick’s Day. I remember back in school, it was a real big deal to make sure that you wore green, cause if you didn’t you were sure to get pinched all day long and that was a drag. Wish that they had hats like this one back in the day, that would have been cool.

Free Shipping, Free Sizing and Takes PayPal

With Mother’s Day coming up in another month, I have been looking around online in order to find a nice watch to purchase for my mother. Bluedial.com has a wonderful selection of Brand name watches like Seiko, Citizen, Bulova Casio at some pretty decent prices. They offer free 2nd day shipping and free sizing. I also like that they accept PayPal, that is something that more companies need to start offering.

I found this sweet looking ladies watch by Bulova. It is reduced from $250 down to $133, which is a great deal. I think that she will love it and I think that it would look real nice on my mother’s wrist.

60 Degrees and Rising

Filed under: Environment — Copa @ 4:10 pm

Today was a fabulous weather day. It turned out to be 63 degrees, which is a pleasent change from all of the nasty wet and cold weather that we have been experiencing for so long. I managed to spend some time outside in order to soak in the sun. I ate my lunch outside and I have to tell you that it was a real struggle getting my butt back inside to finish up the day.

Unique

The other day I was rummaging around the basement and found an old jewelry box of my wife’s that had yet to be brought up to our room. When I brought it upstairs and gave it to her, she gave out a joyful shriek. “You found my copper bracelets!” She said that she had wondered where that box had gone to!

She was thrilled because she had just been looking at a jewelry website that has a large selection of copper bracelets, and was thinking about buying one from them. Now she can refresh her memory of the ones that she has so she can be sure to not order a duplicate. I noticed that while she was on their website she was also looking at their selection of earrings. She sure does love earrings, and the site had a ton of them! I’m always nervous about buying jewelry online, but they have a satisfaction guarantee and free shipping, so I guess it won’t hurt to try them out!

Still looking for signs of spring

Filed under: Garden, General Living — Copa @ 9:12 am

I was out walking around the house today, hoping to see some spring flowers starting to bud. After all, it is March and I’m thinking that early bulbs might be up. Although the grass never died out here, there really doesn’t seem to be much indication of spring yet. At least in my yard. I wonder when I’ll see my first Robin Redbreast! When I see that first Robin, I will be extremely happy! This has been a long winter and I don’t know anyone who will be sad to see it go!  Spring is officially only a few weeks away – I don’t like to wish my life away, but come on spring!
