So pretty

Oh I found something so cool. I was surfing the web and found a site about designer fireplaces. It was so amazing to see all of the different concepts the designers come up with for a fireplace. Of course the company isn’t near my house, but my cousin lives out that way, so I sent the link to her so she could check them out. Wouldn’t you know it, but she needed to find fireplace inserts San Francisco for her house. She had been looking for fireplace inserts bay area for a couple of years and hadn’t found one she liked at all.

She was using the wrong search for what she wanted. She was searching fireplace mantles instead of inserts. Although, by all rights that should have found her this page too. She did tell me that she was really happy to find wood stoves for sale on the site as well. Now she can get everything she wanted for her house.

Awesome Idea

Ok, so my best friend came up with an awesome idea. I can’t tell you exactly what it is until we have patented it but I can tell you that she wants my help with it. Since I have a business degree, she asked me to help with all of the logistics that are involved in the patent process and starting a web page, etc. I am looking forward to this whole process as it is something new to do and exciting as well. Wish us luck on our new venture.

My house

I am still fixing up the outside of my house. I want it to look really nice, because I think it has been the shabbiest house on the block. Not that it is from me, because I just bought it and have been continuously renovating since I got it. I had to start on the inside and have gotten a lot done that I wanted. Anyway, I ordered custom address plaques for the front of the house and the side drive. It was really hard to choose exactly what I wanted, so I ended up buying two different ones.

The first is a bronze address plaques for the front of the house next to the door. I has the house number and street on it. The second one is for the end of the side driveway. I live on a corner lot, so the house sits on two streets. It is easier to get here from the other street, so I put custom address plaques there for people to find easier. I am very happy with it and it makes the house and yard look so much better.

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.

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.
