Elliptical

So, it's the new year, what resolutions did you make? I, of course, like many people, hope to lose some weight in the new year. I've put on quite a bit since I've been off work and with my back the way it is, I'm limited in some of the things that I can do to get the weight off. I like to be able to work out at home and with the treadmill in the basement and the Wii up stairs, there's just one more thing I'd like to add to the mix but have been looking around to find the best place to buy, my last item on my wish list to help me reach my goal is an elliptical. If you have one, please leave a comment and let me know if you get a good workout with it and what kind you have. Thanks!

Online Life Insurance

One of the things I have to do in early 2010 is get life insurance, I used to have some but I don't anymore and that's just not something I should have given up. So I've been looking around at different site to get quotes for online life insurance. I found a site that works great if you live in the USA, it's as simple as keying in your zip code and it starts looking for quotes. They offer many different types of life insurance with a lot of information to help you make your choice.

Rugs

Something we did in the last year was take out most of our carpets and put down laminate flooring. The only room we still have carpet in is the living room and if Doug gets his way, that one will be gone too. I like the flooring, but I find it very cold, the kids are always complaining about their bedroom floors being cold, so I've told them we'd look around to see if we could find some nice rugs to put in their rooms. I'd also like to have one in my bedroom, right beside the bed, so it's not such a shock when you put your feet on the floor!
