Sick of Doing Laundry

Around here I try to get the laundry done just about every day. I don’t like it to build up and become a nagging problem, but I also try to make sure I run a full load so I’m not wasting water and electricity.

Most days I can do one load of colors. I have to let the white things add up for 4 or 5 days before I have enough to make a full load. Usually whatever day I do the whites I will also get all the bath towels and sheets rounded up and just do a couple of extra loads of laundry that day.

Today I am looking at four piles of dirty clothes, towels and sheets and I can’t help thinking that it would so much nicer to spend the day outside getting my garden started. But I need to make sure all the clothes get clean instead.

My TV

Well I have been unhappy with my cable company lately. The package just really isn’t what I wanted and doesn’t have nearly enough channels for what I am paying for it. I am seriously thinking about direct tv for my home. I am hoping that the channel line up will be better then the cable one is. I have a lot of research to do into it, but I am confident that they must be better than what I have. I asked my brother what he thinks and he said it was always worth a shot. I can agree with that.

The dx3 direct tv I looked up seemed really good, but I haven’t called as of yet to see. I am still doing a bit of research online. I really want to be sure before I make any commitments. There is always a contract now a days for all kinds of stuff, even my cable. I need to know if this is so for satellite as well. I can see on www.dx3.net what I need to know as far as that is concerned. The call really shouldn’t take much time out of my day as most companies are rather efficient that way. I will call just as soon as I finish up work.

Good idea

I really love this idea. I sent the picture to my mom and she really likes it a lot too. I think I am going to do this in my living room and I know that it is going to look awesome. Mom is going to help me with pictures, as I want really good ones. This is a great way to show off my family.

Country music

Written by my friend Constance Hayden

I used to watch music videos very rarely. I used to watch MTV when I was in high school and enjoyed any kind of video. However, ever since we got satellite TV from www.expertsatellite.com, I watch country music videos pretty frequently. The other day, my son and daughter, who are both toddlers, were dancing to the music video for the song that says “Country girl shake it for me.” I was laughing so hard and luckily I was able to catch it with our video camera. It is so funny to me to watch kids dance because I always think about the fact that they learned their dance moves from someone. My husband was mildly concerned when I showed him the video of our kids dancing because he thinks that they should not be listening to that kind of music. I told him that country music is pretty clean and that I would much rather they dance to country music than rap music, or even rock music. Either way, they looked pretty cute dancing in front of the TV.

I love my life

Things are looking up so far for this year and I am fabulously happy. Spring is here, the weather is awesome and I am so ready for summer to get here as well. All that I need is for the water to warm up, so we can swim in the river and boating season will be in full swing. I just want to put on my bathing suit and chill in the sun four days on end, and I intend to as soon as humanly possible. We are almost there.

Big order

Well, I had to order more supplies for my cousins hotel. I am the one who does his books and such. It is a part time thing to help him out since his wife died and he is now a single dad. They have a hotel franchise and I spend at least two days a week in the office there. This week was order week. The Hotel Bathroom Supplies & Restaurant Supply Company that we order from is great though and I never have a problem with our orders. You would not believe the amount of stuff that I had to get though.

I needed Hotel Product Supplies & Catering Supplies for both the hotel and the restaurant that is attached to it. Technically we don’t own the restaurant, but I do the ordering for it as well. PeachSuite Wholesale Hotel Supply & Restaurant Equipment Company are really good to me. I never have a problem with their products or the ordering process. I have even made a few friends there as well over the time I have been helping my cousin.

Should have stayed in bed

Really, I should have stayed in bed this morning. I barely dragged myself out of bed this morning and was late to boot. I didn’t get up until 6:30 and I was supposed to be up by 6:15. Then I didn’t have any creamer for my coffee and decided to say to heck with it. I went to my favorite breakfast buffet and the danged food was cold and hard. Today has not started very well.

What a storm

Wow, last nights storm as raging. It knocked over trees all over the neighborhood. We are really lucky one didn’t fall on our house. Our mailbox got crushed though. I guess I will have to order a new one. The kids were a little frightened last night, but the storm passed by quickly and they were able to fall asleep fast. What kind of mailbox should I get this time? Residential mailboxes can actually be fun if you like to shop.

I haven’t decided whether I should get designer mailboxes or one of the victorian mailboxes. I am thinking about ordering two of them, just in case. We get some really bad storms during the springtime that consist of high level straight line winds and tornadoes. I usually have to replace the mailbox once a year because of them. It might be prudent to just order an extra one, so I don’t have to worry about it later. This storm season started very early and is going to be a long one I think.

Woke up with a headache

I can see that my day is going to be a bad one already. I woke up with a headache, then stepped in dog pee on the way to the bathroom. That is a sure sign that my day is going to really suck. I don’t know why the dog was in the house to being with, but someone is going to get their rear chewed out for that. These kids know better then to let the dog stay in the house.

New cord for my lappy

Well I have to get a new cord for my laptop. I need a toshiba laptop ac adapter, because the old one quit working and now the computer wont charge up. I have had this happen before, because they just wear out when they get a lot of use. I also have a cat that for some reason likes to lay on top of the little box part. I guess she does it because it is warm, but that may be the reason they keep going out. They are getting too hot.

The toshiba laptop adapter isn’t really that expensive, so it doesn’t bother me that much. Plus, I have another computer to use, so the cat is safe for now. Toshiba Laptop Batteries are the only ones I can use as I have a Toshiba Satellite Laptop. I am thinking about just buying two of them, so I have a back up just in case. I am not sure yet.
