My friend and weddings
I have a friend that is planning on getting married. I feel right in the thick of it, because we’re relatively close.
From cakes to bridal lingerie, from dresses to bridesmaids.
I’m actually having a lot of fun with it, and I know she’s going to make an awesome bride. Not a traditional girl she’s [...]
Researching Computers
I’ve been wanting to get my little ones a computer to share. My plan is to make it a December holiday gift.
The easiest thing to do would be to wipe the memory on my current computer and give them this one and get myself a new top-of-the-line computer.
I’m not selfish, just practical.
I’ve always [...]
Can you believe it?
I went to the doctor on Monday and she sent me in for some blood tests.
Ironic that I had to go in and get said tests on Saturday (I managed to get back home before my party started, thankfully!) I’m wondering how long it will take to get the results back.
You see, I’ve [...]
How I Avoid Cleaning in Summer
With the heat and lack of central air, I’m finding there are some tasks that are less desirable than others.
Like vacuuming – it seems that we have Max and Ziggy (our miniature schnauzers) come take care of a room as soon as our toddlers are done eating. They get Cheerios off a rug faster [...]
On Security
I worry a lot about online security.
I have a firewall, a virus scanner, a spyware scanner, and run them regularly.
But the only time I thought about a home security system (like ADT or ademco) was when we first moved in and the alarm went off. Firemen and police came and asked us what the [...]
Money Thoughts
I’ve been submitting tips to sites for money mashups and I’ve also had a money dilemma recently that you can read about on Beyond Mom (basically our air conditioner died and we were given the option to finance a new one.)
This has me thinking about all the ways we spend money we don’t have [...]
Owning Your Own Business – Franchising
I’ve never understood franchising.
Such a large investment for a franchise, and then you have to follow the exact rules set out by the franchise. For me, that would be really limiting – to have people telling me how I can market and communicate with customers and potential clients.
Tough call, but for some people, [...]
It’s Getting Hot in Here
A Tornado two days ago makes me want to run to one of the many laughlin hotels Randy and I looked at when we were going to vacation in NV last year. From casinos to high class affairs, there would be something there and the air conditioning in Nevada is always perfect.
Seriously, there’s no [...]
Bothersome Birthdays
It seems that every year the same thing happens. I open my mailbox and birthday invitations spill out in June. They are for children’s birthday parties, because it seems every child of everyone in my friend group has a birthday in June!
This also reminds me that I feel like a fool for not planning my [...]
Is Techie Stuff Good for Father’s Day?
Randy already has about four usb flash drives roaming around the house. The problem we have is that he fills them up. We should make a little usb garden where we can stick the filled usb drives in foam and with the different colors and styles they would look like a little art display.
How is [...]
