Free Winter Jam In NYC 2011

It's been a very cold and very snowy winter thus far, and we're not even two months into the new year, so who knows what the weather will be like before we get a hint of Spring!

So, in the mean time take advantage of the snow and head outside to a free winter sporting event.

Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York is having a Winter Jam, Saturday, February 5, 2011 from 11:00am to 4:00pm

There will be free skiing and snowboarding lessons, and all equipment provided is also FREE! Don't you just love that word FREE?!

This is an event for all ages, so bring the whole family, and there will also be hot drinks and snacks on hand, also FREE!

Bundle up and I'll see you there! http://www.nycgovparks.org/sub_things_to_do/events/winterjam/index.html

You Have Got to Be Kidding!

A women is walking and texting in a mall and falls into a fountain. Okay, she's unharmed no one really noticed her fall in. She gets herself out and continues on here way soaking wet. Security cameras, gets everything on tape! You can see what happens, but you can't see the women's face.

Some how the tape makes its way onto YouTube, and other social network sites. Now she wants to sue, cause security didn't help her, they arrived to the fountain almost 20 minutes later. Okay, so she's embraced. But guess what, if you didn't put your face all over TV, no one would have know who the heck you were lady!

How dumb can you be! It's sad the world we live in, when you can sue for causing your own embarrassment!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPW8xmI4w6U

*******Happy New Year 2011*******

Wow! Another year has come and gone, and with every New Year brings new or the same old resolutions or self promises. I'm no different then most, I've made a few self promises, and I really hope to stay the course in 2011. I usually don't make resolutions, cause I don't like feeling that I have to make one just cause it's a New Year. So, I would just make promises to myself throughout the year.

Self Promise #1 Exercise more! I wouldn't mind shedding a few pounds! I still fit all of my clothing, but the jeans are fitting a little tighter now a days.

Self Promise #2 Stress Less! Hmmmm, maybe this should be #1 They say that stress causes cortisol and that causes you to put on extra pounds, especially around the belly area! :(

Self Promise #3 Live,Laugh and Love More! I believe that these Three L's are very important to happiness. And is there anyone out there who doesn't want to be happy?!




Live: Do something that makes you feel alive! Do something that reminds you of your childhood, play with reckless abandonment and jump outside of your comfort box!

Laugh: Laughing sends good vibrations not only through you but through the surrounding area around you. Go to a comedy club, watch some funny movies, shows or just hang out with a group of friends.

Love: Spend time with those that you care about. Show them that you care! Touching is our first language of love, we learned it as infants but growing up we don't do as much of it. Hugs can instantly show a person that you care and that you love them and emotionally support them.

Self Promise #4 Keep in Touch! Life can get very hectic, and sometimes those we care about and love can get placed on the back burner. We don't always notice, until days, months and sometimes even years have past. So, it's important to keep relationships of all kinds on a positive note.

Self Promise #5 Write Down Goals and Just Do It! Goals, are very important and completing them are even more important! So, this year make some short term goals that you know you can pull off! I've learned that a steady pace will get you to your final goal, with energy to spare as oppose to a jumping out the blocks full blast, when your running a marathon!







Here's to a Happy New Year to all, and keeping those resolutions!

Free Classes In NYC !

I hate to spend a ton of money, or any money if I don't have to! No, it's not me being cheap, it's me being smart! If you had the choice to get it for free or pay for it, which would you do? GET IT FOR FREE RIGHT!

Well, I am the self proclaimed Find It For Free Queen! So, just like last year I will be blogging about things in NYC that are free! So here's the first for 2011.

In today's harsh economy and high unemployment rate, you might want to brush up on your computer skills. This can be a pricey skill to learn, if you choose to go to a school that specializes in computer software training.

The alternative is only a free card swipe away at The New York Public Library! The New York Public Libraries, have a lot more to offer then just books. You can also pick up movies, music, craft classes, like quilting, knitting, crocheting, and also computer classes. All of the classes are completely free!

Microsoft Office, Genealogy, Keyboarding and Computer Basics are just a few of the classes that you can find, at your local library.

You can find what and where these classes are offered online, and look up NYC Public Library Computer Classes.
