My girlfriend and I were over at a friend of ours’ house this past weekend and I was having some fun with their Playstation 3 console. My girlfriend saw how much I enjoyed it and actually went out and picked up a Playstation 3 for me while I was at work yesterday. I would have never expected her to do anything like that, but I sure am glad she did. Now she’s going to have nobody but herself to blame when I stay up all night playing video games and get fired for showing up to work late because I slept through my alarm.

I’ve been reading a lot about self defense products lately. I’ve got a bit of an addictive personality, so when I get into something, like knives or anything like that, I tend to REALLY get into it and become almost obsessed with it. My girlfriend keeps having to remind me that im not in “Black Ops” and don’t need to have a closet full of weapons.

A while back I stopped at a local yard sale and they had about 6 saddles for sale. I’m not really very knowledgeable when it comes to whats good and whats not-so-good when it comes to horses and that sort of thing. A friend of mine is really into western wear and that whole look. He has 2 horses and the whole 9 yards. I called him and he drove down to take a look at the saddles and ended up buying all of them for less than the price that one of them would have cost brand new. They weren’t even in that bade of shape.

My nephew has been begging his mom for an XBox 360 for the past 6 months. She hasen’t really had the extra money to buy the video game console for him, so I finally decided to go pick one up, along with a few games and drop it off at there house while he was in school. I was going to buy him a Playstation 3 game console, since it really seems to be the best one available right now, but she said he flipped out when he walked into his room and saw the XBox game system sitting on his bed. I’m glad I was able to do that.

I am finally getting ready to upgrade my computer memory. I’ve only had 512mb worth of ram every since I built my computer back in December of 2005 and I really think it’s time for a much needed upgrade. I am still using Windows XP, which I really prefer over Windows Vista, so 2gb of ram will make a huge difference in my computer’s performance. I upgraded a friend of mine’s ram to 1gb a while back and there is such a big difference. I can’t wait to see what 2gb is like.

My sister was shopping for some winter boots. She had no idea what type,or brand, of boot to get. She shopped for them on the internet and also in stores. She started off at department, shoe, and clothing stores. She found one pair of nice thigh high boots in a store that specialized only in shoes. They were very nice leather ones. She could wear these to stay warm, as well as to look nice. She was advised by a sales person that they also make other thigh high boots in lingerie stores. Since she frequently enjoys going to nice clubs for drinks, she decided to check this out. She did, in fact, find another pair of shiny black leather boots that lace up. She bought them and they make her look dressed up, yet sexy, at the same time.

My grandfather recently retired from his job, after working there for over 40 years. The company he worked for gave him a retirement party and presented him with a gift of an IWC watch. It is very well made and nice looking and has so many great features. I had never seen one of them before. Matter of fact, I hadn’t even heard of that brand. I decided to research IWC Watches on the internet. I found a place that sells them. There are many different styles to choose from. I am now saving money to be able to purchase one someday for myself.

My sister loves to read but due to her loss of eyesight, she is unable to do so. I buy her books on audio tapes or compact discs often. She loves thrillers and mystery books. I recently bought her the 7th Heaven book on audio compact disc. After she started listening to it, she told me about it and what a great thriller it was. I decided to buy the hardback book for myself. I purchased hers on the internet and later purchased mine in a book store. It is a great book that I think anyone that loves this type of story should get. I am not completely finished with it yet, but am so glad I bought it for myself, too.
