PICK YOUR PLUM WINNER AND CHRISTMAS WRAP UP

WELL HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

How was your Christmas?

Mine was o.k.

I got the flu for Christmas. Nice, huh?

But hey, I got to see it snow from my bedroom window

so that was NICE.

I'd say we got about 5 inches and more is

expected next week ((fingers crossed))

XXXXXXX

It seems this past month I just couldn't catch a break in regards to my health.

So you bet I'm ready for a new month and a new year.

I have SO many great things planned for this little ole blog and

my photography business.

It's exciting isn't it?

Making plans, and all.

Anywho, since I've been laid up in bed for the better part of three weeks (first in the hospital with another TIA and then my bedroom-YUCK) I've had way too much time on my iPad

looking up cool apps and websites to share with y'all.

The first one is Next Issue. This is a little pricey at $24.95 a month but you get to read a lot of magazines on your iPad for that amount and if you're a voracious magazine reader, I think it pays off. They had a sweet deal when I joined - 30 days free, then $7.95 for months two and three. I'm still debating whether I'll keep it after the trial. You can find Next Issue on facebook. Check them out: Next Issue for Ipad

Next, is one I just found today.

I can now peruse my favorite catalogs and some new ones I'd never checked out before on this free app

CoffeeTable

you can even dogear the pages. Cool huh?

The next one is Gas Buddy. You simply punch in your zip code and it tells you the cheapest gas prices nearest to you.

XXXXXXX
