Deal of the Day!

I only love shopping as I love to get THE Deal. I don't want a pair of beautiful shoes as much as I want a pair of beautiful shoes for a steal. GGGOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLL.
Where is that obnoxious horn that sounds like mad hornets during the world cup? I want them to blow that at the cash register when I purchase the Willow and Clay top for 1/3 the original price.

So start following me on twitter under the same name Lifebeinglived. I just started this so follow so you can get my daily tweets with pictures!

Sharing that great deal with others who love shopping!

Lifebeinglived at Twitter! I am now posting Deal of the Day!

My love of shopping has now stepped on the toes of my professional world so hard it tweeted! I love shopping! Yes absolutely love shopping but the love does not come in when I arrive at home toting multiple bags, anyone can do that if you have the money. My love of shopping comes from getting that one great deal. I have a great day shopping when I come home with that one key item that was $250.00 that was marked down to $34.99, and yes, I have done that! I love to shop designer stores, well known department stores, boutiques and discount stores, I am not a shopping snob, just a spending money snob.

My professional life consists of helping corporations and people. My position is a combination sales, counseling, matching, and basically just making people happy by helping them to fulfill their needs professionally. I enjoy doing a good job.

So now my shopping has crossed the line. Friends often ask me about something cute I bought and I am more then happy to share what a great deal I got and where I got it. Then I started to see things that made me think of friends so i would take a picture, send it to them and let them know where I saw it. If I haven't left the store I will buy it for them, if I have they know where to get it. Now I pretty much know their tastes so have hit on a few really good matches and GOOOOOOOAAAAAALLL! It is like a sport or competition.

Now, just one step further....I am tweeting and posting pictures of the great deals I see when out shopping- whoever would like to see...well now they can. I love a good deal and think others may too.

Enjoy. I know I do.

Blogging, Am I really getting this and does it really even matter.

I have a blog. Why? I am really not sure. I tend to think of it as a tech savy journal. Am I trying to make a statement, or get readers, or contribute in some way to the blogging world? Maybe, maybe not. I just like writing. I like when someone says 'oh my gosh, I know what you mean' or 'that was so funny' or I can just see it was read by someone else. What I have to say and get on 'paper' is important to me and if someone finds meaning in it as well then I feel connected. I feel as though my own little life in some way relates to someone else's own little life and makes me feel just a tiny bit less alone as millions of people are trying to be unique. I cherish those moments I can really relate to someone else. Maybe we can symbolically hold hands as we trudge through our day knowing at least one other person may be trudging in a few of the same moments as I am.

I have very few followers. Maybe I don't get it as I have followers who follow me from other sites but never really show up as followers on my page. Makes me feel kind of like people can't relate to what I am putting out there. It would be nice to have that cosmic me out there relating to what I am experiencing and sharing via this blog but, at least for me, I have been happy for this past year of blogging just to do a bit of writing. As a mom, as a wife, an employee, a friend. This is the one thing I do that is truly just for me. When I garden I feed other people and get comments on what I should be growing or if I can bring in more snow peas. When I go to the movies with girlfriends I often see movies that are not my first choice because my friend had picked it. I read books my book club chooses. I make dinners my kids and husband request. I write just for me. And I am in heaven.

So add me, or follow me, or do whatever it is that you do. I have two followers that say they follow me on my blog after a year. I hope this means we are trudging along with some common interests. That would be nice. What is nice is that I am writing in my own small way. For me. If you were here you would see the smile on my face.
