There are a lot of different weight loss methods pushed lately, on television, in magazines, in stores and even online. I noticed a lot of these are weight loss pills. I don’t know much about them, but I’m pretty sure the safest, healthiest and most surefire way to lose weight is good old fashioned diet and exercise.

What’s your stance on diet pills?

Sorry for the absence. I have a valid reason this time though! A few days ago my only computer (a laptop) decided it didn’t want to connect to the Internet, despite nothing being wrong with the connection itself. It’s apparently fixed and I will hopefully be getting it back today. In the meantime, I dragged out my old desktop but I can’t do much on it as everything is on my laptop.

Anyway, that’s what has been going on. Regular posting will resume asap!

I’ve never been much of a watch person, only owning a few cheap watches when I was much younger and learning to tell time, hah.  Though I am one of those people who is constantly checking the time (good or bad habit?) it’s always on my cell phone or alternatively, my iPod.

Anyway, just because I don’t own a watch right now, doesn’t mean I can’t drool over some really nice ones.  When I was in Seattle a few years ago,  I came across tons of nice watches that just aren’t as common in Canada.  Fossil, for example, makes some really nice watches but not too pricey.

One brand of watch I hadn’t previously heard of are Breitling watches. They are without a doubt very nice watches with all of the bells and whistles (Just check out this breitling navitimer watch to see what I mean!). Thewatchery.com carries Breitling watches, along with other swanky watch brands. The huge selection of watches is quite impressive. Predictably, I’m drawn to more blingy watches. One of my favourite on the site is probably this one:

In watches, and jewelry in general, I’m drawn more to silver rather than copper (yuck) or gold. I think silver is supposed to compliment my skin tone, or is it gold? I can never remember. But I love silver more, either way!

I’m not too proud of my commitment to this site right now. But you know, real life always comes first. I’ll hopefully get through a bunch of work tonight, and tomorrow have a little time to concentrate on here.

TGIF!

I’ve toiled with web design for a few years now. This was only for my own websites of course, and a few years later, I do have a good understanding of HTML and CSS. Though to be fair, they can be easily learned with a bit of practice and reference. Anyway, the more advanced stuff used to make really amazing websites like PHP and Flash? Forget it. I know absolutely squat about them.

Needless to say, my websites don’t go beyond basic and simple ones. Which is fine in most cases, since my blog is only a small personal one. If my website was an eCommerce or business one, you’d better believe I would use professional web design services. Good design and functionality in websites is critical, and as I’ve experienced a horribly designed, confusing website many a time, I know it leads visitors clicking that little red ‘X’ button in disgust.

Network Solutions offers web design services and packages to those who don’t want to design and code an entire website by themselves, or wants one that is sure to be professional. To see what they can do for you, check out their website.
