71: Bye Bye Junk Mail!

Tuesday is trash day. This Tuesday when I went to check the mail, it reached in the old mailbox and pulled out junk, and more junk. Not a single piece of real mail. Some pizza coupons, furniture advertising, local supermarket specials, credit card offers . . . Oh, and how could I forget the Value Pak sealed envelope of direct marketing mail? I immediately put it in the recycle bin. That is when I realized I need to be pro-active about getting rid of junk mail, putting a stop to it. Permanently.

Today I took my name of off mass-marketing mailing lists and I opted-out of pre-screened credit offers. There are two different websites you can visit to do this. To reduce the junk mail, got to www.dmachoice.org and click, "Remove my name from those lists." Also, to opt-out of those pesky credit card offers, go to www.optoutprescreen.com. It is so easy, I already feel liberated.

Working Out

So, I am officially a member of Pure Austin now. I have been several times but nothing quite on a regular basis. So, while I cannot cross anything off my list, I am certainly working on working out! I really want to be in Bikini shape by the time we go to Playa, only two months!

Photography

While I still haven't mastered my Nikon D80 SLR, I am becomming more comfortable with in and taking some photos I really like. I am so proud and happy that I am able to document my family in an artistic and beautiful nature. These are some of my recent favorites.

21 & 22: iPod & iTunes

Happy Valentines Day to me! In addition to the two-dozen roses he gave me, I also got an iPod! I think I am the last person on Earth to get one, but, now I have officially joined the masses. I also started an iTunes account but I am trying to work through some technical issues with it, boo! I really, really want to get the Grace Potter & The Nocturnals on my iPod . ..

Going to Playa!

I have officially booked our beach vacation for two. We took advantage of the $9.99 flight direct from Austin to Cancun. We are going the first week of May and will be staying at Playa del Carmen's #1 ranked boutique hotel: Hotel la Tortuga! Now, time to get working on the beach body!

#67: Nestie GTG

After four years of posting on The Nest I finally made it to a get-together. While sitting at the end of the table at Iron Cactus, I met several very nice ladies. Next time, I hope to work the table a little bit better!
