I’m back from Vegas

by Tricia

Sorry for the lack of posts since Wednesday. I had planned to write regularly while I was in Vegas, but I barely had an internet connection in my hotel so I was unable to make any new posts!

That was such a drag! I was in Vegas for two blogging conventions and ended up with out internet access. How Ironic huh?

Well, I can tell you that the weather was much nicer in Las Vegas than it was here in Toronto while I was away! As our plane took off on Thursday afternoon I noticed what looked like snow flurries hitting the planes window! Ah it was snowing!

Last year you might remember that Vegas had snow in December, A few inches I believe, and we hadn’t even had snow here in Toronto by that time. Quite the change this year!

Las Vegas was a little warmer this past week than it normally is around this time in November. I’d say it averaged about 80 F during the day and low 70’s at night. Very comfortable temperatures since there was really no humidity to speak of at all.

I got home late last night or perhaps you might say early this morning and I already miss the Las Vegas weather. It was raining and cold and just plain gloomy looking outside today! Not inviting at all.

It won’t be long before the cold weather sets in, I’m sure of it.

We still had our patio table and chair set up outside so my husband tried to spend some time outside this afternoon in order to take them apart (they are metal and glass) and store them but he only got the job half done as it started to rain heavily.

Tomorrows supposed to be cool but mainly sunny. Perhaps we’ll get that patio furniture put away tomorrow and if I’m feeling up to it I’d better start working on putting the garden to bed for the winter too!

Have you finished all your autumn garden tasks yet? Is your garden all tucked in and ready for winter?

Chia Van?

I couldn’t resist posting this one today. I love this photo!

It looks like they attached sod to the van in some way, doesn’t it?

Maybe it’s supposed to be some kind of green statement?

Learn more about products that you’re thinking of buying at Wize

by Tricia

Now that the weather is cooling many of us are likely staying inside more often. Perhaps you’re looking around the home and thinking about what you can do over the winter months to improve the look of your home? Perhaps a new television or some appliances are needed?

Well if you are planning on making any purchases over the next while you might want to visit Wize.com where you can read up on all kinds of pr0duct rev1ews.

Wize.com has pr0duct rev1ews for just about anything that you might be thinking of purchasing – from a GPS and navigation systems to the latest digital cameras, washers, dryers, televisions, computers, laptops, health and beauty, products for kids, the latest games such as playstation and Xbox and more products that I can mention in this post!

Just start at the main page and find the type of product you’re interested in learning more about and then drill down through the menus until you find exactly what you’re looking for – don’t worry it’s easy to find just about anything and you can always use the search section at the top of the page too. Once you find the pr0duct rev1ews that you’re interested in you can read reviews and check out the Wize rating number.

The Wize rating beside each product is a measure of how popular an item is and how satisfied consumers are with the product in general. The higher the rating the higher the general consumer satisfaction in the product really is – so that means it’s a product to keep your eye on and possibly purchase.

I’m not planning any major purchases in the near future – well other than possibly a new washer and dryer, but I’m going to bookmark this site and I’ll be sure to visit it the next time I’m thinking of buying something for my home. I always like to do a little research on major products before I buy them and Wize makes it easy to do just that.
