Trying Not To Think Ahead of the Calander

Another Valentine's Day has come and gone; besides from sending a few cards to family and friends and giving my grandmother a heart-shaped box of chocolates and a teddy bear, I don't actually celebrate the holiday. I'm single, so I don't see the point of it. I spent tonight watching a couple of episodes of Leverage on DVD and The Outlaws Is Coming! with the Three Stooges.

My weekend plans involves me doing a few errands in the morning, which hopefully I'll be back home to watch the new Power Rangers (Yes, I still watch kids' shows). I need to get a few books read this weekend, so hopefully I'll have time to start reading tomorrow. I also have a few reviews I need to write get posted by Monday. Plus, I have the old Batman serial DVD and the Killing Kennedy Blu-ray to watch and review.

I'm trying to stay ahead of the holidays this year by buying presents ahead of time. For example, I already have my mom's Mother's Day present. With the falling economy, I'm well aware my wallet is going to be stretched this year, though I did splurge a little on myself (I'll talk about that in a few minutes). Its easier to buy little bitty things during the year, so when December rolls around most of shopping is already finished.

Of course shopping ahead of time isn't exactly easy, as some people are just hard to buy for. I have no clue what to get my grandmother for Mother's Day this year. I would get her a DVD, but she can never figure out how to use the DVD player. I could buy her a music CD, but she most likely already owns it. Sure, I could get her a new book, but she doesn't care much for reading anymore because of her eyesight.

I do have a few ideas on what to get her.


Photo 4 Canvas Prints - I can pick out an old family photo, upload it to Photo 4 Canvas Prints, pick out what size and style I want and have the photo printed on a canvas.

Omron Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor Standard - There would be no reason to take my grandmother to the Doctors just so she can have her blood pressure checked. With the Omron Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor Standard she could check her blood pressure anytime she wants to.

Teddy Bear & Candy - Yep, I could go the safe route and buy her a teddy bear for her collection and some sweets.

I had saved some money last year and bought the fitness workout P90X3 last year, which I will be starting Day 47 tomorrow. I haven't been dropping the weight on the scales like I want to, actually I haven't lost any weight, but instead I have gained three pounds. This might look like a failure, but I have been keeping track of my waist measurement and I have lost over an inch. When I started the program there were many routines I couldn't get down, especially yoga, as I'm not flexible, but for the past week I have been able to finish the routines, so I must be gaining some strength.

I've enjoyed the program so much that I splurged a little bit. I purchased the original P90X and the Body Beast program on eBay, which I got both brand-new for a low price. I'm trying to think ahead and have my exercises planned out for the upcoming months.
