My Father, The Antique Collector
Since I mentioned my dad in my last post...I just had to bring up the fact that he's bought even more antique stuff, mostly silver. It's truly astonishing the amount of silver, china, and crystal the man owns. But, he collects it...so more power to him! I'd rather him collect stuff like this than have a ton of grandfather clocks, all going off at the same time (the two smaller ones he has are bad enough). It's just going to be very interesting...and very time consuming...when it's his time to go to the life of the world to come. I mean, my brother and I will keep some of it...but since it's not my thing, I can't see keeping all of it. Anything that has sentimental value or a family heirloom will definitely be kept, but if it doesn't...it'll get sold. Hate to do that, but since I'm not a collector of stuff like this (and neither is my brother), it's what will probably happen. Oh well, c'est la vie!

My Personal Training Adventures
*Disclaimer: This is a paid advertisement for PayPerPost.com*
Okay, so this will be my fourth consecutive week of going to my personal training sessions twice a week. Yay for me! Every time I go, my trainer has a different fitness plan for me, so I never know what to expect. I do know it will include at least some weight training, and a lot of interval training. Lately, his favorite thing to do is attach a 50 pound weight to my waist, and then I drag it the length of the building...twice, forward, backward. It's a lot harder than it looks! He also likes to have me run around the building twice, which is a challenge for me because I absolutely despise jogging or running. Despite all of my grumbling, I have managed to get through every session and not feel too much pain the next day (notice I didn't say "no pain" heh).
Unfortunately, my diet has gone completely out the window because of the holidays (so many vendors send us cookies and candy, it's unreal!), so I haven't lost any weight. But, I have noticed some muscle definition in my legs and arms, which is nice. Given that more muscle increases metabolism, I'm hoping that with the sessions I have left, and the holidays behind me, that my twice per week "torture" sessions (okay, okay, personal training sessions) might actually help me loose the weight I've been dying to get rid of for the past few months.

Payday Loans?
We have all seen the ads for payday loans all over television, magazines, and on the Web. While some people say they are the devil in disguise, I have to beg to differ. If used wisely, cash advance loans can help you out of a tight spot, which we have all faced from time to time. One such payday loan company is National Payday, which offers no fax, no credit check loans. They offer up to $600 in loans with little to no hassle.
I have used a payday loan in the past when money was really, really tight, and I had no other alternatives. And, I have to say that it was helpful to have a no credit check loan available to me, as pulling "hard" inquiries on your credit report can hurt you immensely. I found that the key to payday loans, like those from National Payday, are to pay them back as soon as you get your paycheck to avoid paying back a lot more than you borrowed in the first place, as they do charge high interest rates. They have to, in order to provide the service that they do.
And, looking at National Payday, I have to say that this seems like a well-run cash advance loan company, and it looks rather easy to use. The added bonus of not having to fax any information is great, I think. If I had need of a payday loan, I would seriously consider using National Payday as my loan provider.
