Jersey Gardens Outlet Mall

I pulled an ad out of a magazine I was reading about Jersey Gardens, which is Jersey's biggest outlet mall. I'd never heard of it, so I thought I'd find more info. It's all the way up by Newark, near the airport. Oy! No wonder, I avoid that area.

Shame, because it's got some great stores, but I won't be driving up there. For those of you interested, it's exit 13A off the NJ Turnpike. They also have a website at JerseyGardens.com.

I'm not far from the Liberty Village outlets, so I have my own section over here, along with more across from Peddlers Village in Buckingham.

Grant My Last Request...


Still totally in love with this song. This has got to be the sexiest song...even though it's sad. If you haven't listened to Paolo Nutini's "Last Request", give it a listen!

Invitations Should be Written, Not Emailed!

Do you remember when people used to send out things like birthday invitations and party invites? These days, it seems with email, people skip that formality and just send somebody a quick email. I don't know, I like the formal invitation. I think it's a nice touch to still get something in the mail like that. Look at wedding invitations; you don't see those being done online as much as others. I guess it's because weddings are more formal, so people want something special.

 Birthday and party invitations can be special too. It's just finding nice cards, and taking the time to write them out. I just did a large mailing project for a site I own, and handwrote about 100 envelopes. I think it's a nice touch to take the time to handwrite something out. It shows people you took out more than one moment of time for them.

If you're looking for a nice selection of invitations, try ThePartyStartsHere.com.

Movie Time?

My husband was thinking of seeing the movie "Traitor" today. I hope I spelled that right, since I don't know which movie he's talking about. I was actually surprised to see there are so many movies in September I want to see! I don't have extra time in September, so that's not working for me!

I'm sure my son will want to see "Disaster Movie", since he's a big fan of spoofs, so we'll probably see that this weekend. It's not my first choice, but I'll take him, since he likes them a lot. Don't get me wrong, I love spoofs, but some of them are getting downright bad. I did like "Superhero Movie" though, so maybe there's hope for this one.

"The Women" looks good, along with a few others. Funny thing is, now I can't remember what I wanted to see. I think there's another that's due out September 12 that looked good. Bad timing for me, but whatcha gonna do?

Yoga in the Park

I'm 41. I've had two children. Let me just say now, I pretty much know where every bathroom is on the East coast, because my bladder has made that an important part of my life these days.

I'm a little nervous about doing Yoga in the Park next week! I mean, what if there are no toilets nearby! Okay, okay, so it's only an hour, and I should be okay, but I think of those things!

Sure, sure you laugh! Go ahead, but wait until you've had kids, hit your 40's and drink too many liquids. You're day will come! Then all you'll be able to do is remember you read this post years ago!

That's right, my bladder and yoga post will haunt you in the future, as you suddenly start looking around for a place to go!

Finding my Flavor

Why is it that when you find something new you like, it's damn near impossible to find it again?

Seriously, I started drinking Fuze a bit ago, but finding MY flavor is crazy! Sure, sure they have lots of other flavors, as it's popping up here and there at my regular stores. Where's my flavor?

It finally hit me today in the shower, I can ask my grocery store to start ordering my flavor! Duh, I never thought of that. I just kept searching. Next time I go to the store this week, I'm going to ask them to add that flavor to their list! Finally, I'll have MY flavor at my store!

Horses in New Jersey

On my drive from Hunterdon County to Bucks County, I always pass the equestrian center, which helps horses with medical problems. Which leads to the questions, do horses take horse supplements? I know that when people are ill, or dogs are, there is medicine, and also things like vitamins. I just learned that there are horse supplements too!

If you're not familiar with the Equestrian center, it's on Route 202 just outside of Flemington. Another area with a lot of horses I love is on Bear Tavern Road. I pass a large horse farm and show arena when I'm traveling to go see my mom and sister. That's one great thing about the area I live in, you still see farms and horses! Oh, and Long Valley has some nice fields with horses too!

Fat Girl Attempts Yoga

That's right, I gave it my best shot, and started a beginner's Yoga class. It wasn't a pretty site, but I stuck in there.

Next week, we'll possibly be doing it outside....in public. Yes, fat girl doing Yoga on display. It's better than television. Bring popcorn and feel free to giggle, but I'll still be hanging in there trying my best!

Going to my happy place now. ;)

New Jersey Car Shows?

Speaking of cars...was last weekend New Jersey Car Shows weekend?

Seriously, they were all over the place last weekend. Even our little diner near us had nearly 100-200 cars on their major cruiser night last week. Then I drove down a little farther, and there was another car show.

Usually when it’s cruiser night, you’ll see 20 or so cars, but this was massive. Then I went over to pick up my son, and in Coopersburg, PA there was a massive Mustang show! I think there was one in Doylestown too. Maybe it’s not just New Jersey Car Shows weekend, maybe it’s across the states.

Is this a big yahoo weekend before summer is over? Not sure, but I kept passing them all over the place!

The last New Jersey car show we went to was a Corvette show down in Long Beach Island back in June.
