I’m freezing!

Brrr It’s getting cold!

Actually I don’t think I can really complain as we’re having a much warmer than normal winter here in Toronto than normal. They were actually saying on the news today that we might break a record for warmest January since the 1930′s or 1940′s! I can’t complain about snow either. I think it’s only snowed three or four times – snow that stayed on the ground for a few hours or a day or more I mean – or that had to be shoveled.

Still … right now .. I’m freezing … I’m eying some american eagle flannel shirts and seriously considering buying them and having them shipped next day. LOL Of course I could also just wrap myself up in my snuggie and see if I warm up that way too. Yeah .. that might work.

So what kind of winter are you having? Is it warmer than normal in your area too or is it cold and snowy?

I was playing around with my cellphone the other day. I had uploaded some pictures and videos that I had taken onto my computer from the cellphone and then I noticed that there was a major software update for my phone. So … I spent some time updating the software and then updating it some more. Luckily everything went ok!

Naturally once everything was updated I decided to explore all of the new features that were now on my cellphone. It’s a Nokia N8 BTW and it just got Symbian Anna. I know there’s yet another update that some people are getting but it’s not in my area yet.

The new maps are very cool so I decided to try them out when I was walking the dog. It was a very cold day so the gps was a little slow calculating my route when I made turns that it didn’t anticipate but otherwise it worked great. I really hadn’t used that feature or the maps for driving before, but I should because, well with this phone I don’t need a separate GPS navigation device.

Now I want to find new apps to download onto my phone. I was looking at an app that’s similar to Instagram earlier today that I might put on my phone. Watch my tweets for some cool pictures soon!

Have you investigated all of the cool features on your smartphone? There’s just so much stuff isn’t there?

I don’t know about you, but half the emails I’m getting are for post holiday sales. Always at this time of year the stores have huge sales – everything is 50% or more off or stores are having liquidation sales and everything must go. Am I right?

Are you getting all those emails too? Or flyers in your door?

Now I don’t have much money these days to take advantage of the sales, but I’m keep an eye on them anyway. I figure that I might see something that someone else might be interested in and I was right. I saw an ad for kelty tents at RockyMountainTrail.com for really good prices and I sent the ad to my nephew because I know he’s been looking into getting some camping gear. I don’t know if he’ll take advantage of the sale or not, but at least he knows about a great sale now.

Do you take advantage of some of the great sales at this time of year too?
