Props to You

So I am home today with some sort of eye funk. Eww I know. The eye doctor recommended to stay home for the day. Doctors orders, eh? So I've been wanting to give props to some people who have made my life easier/improved my life by sharing what works for them. I am all about sharing anything that will make life better.
First is Kat. She did this post the other day about alice.com. Something I had never heard of but decided to check out. I made my first order two days ago and got an e-mail yesterday saying it had shipped. Alice.com is an online shopping system, if you will, that lets you order all basic household items. They have t-p, OTC medicines, cleaning supplies, bathroom supplies, and much more. It will let you compare lots of products by price and price per unit (which i love and wal-mart does not have). It will also let you set up a reminder system for when you need to order certain things. All shipping is free and I have found that the prices are very comparable to shopping in a store.
Second is Emily. She did this post on C25K. I am really trying to exercise more. I used to run ~everyday and just got out of the habit. I am really trying to loose some weight before we go to San Francisco. (i am doing weight watchers and that is why i have not had meal plan mondays in awhile-lean cuisines wouldn't really fill a post) (AND i have lost 7 pounds already!) Anyway, C25K (couch to 5K) is an iphone app that allows you to upload your own play list then sets you up on a running/walking schedule. A voice tells you "RUN", "WALK", "YOU ARE 1/2 WAY DONE", and "THIS IS YOUR LAST RUN"-that one's my favorite. They have a website too.
So these are the tidbit of shared info that might help you. Pay it forward, right? Now I must put a cold compress on my eyes.

I'm little behind on my blogs bc we have started our big move. I'm rocking Will, so that gives me an excuse to slack off for a min...Glad I inspired you to Get that app, but I'm thinking it's a bit unfair that you've already lost 7 lbs. I'm only down about 3! Maybe I need to do WW too:). Hope your eye funk is better!
