If you are looking for used cars in Irving, they shouldn’t be that hard to find. With the trend towards green energy and living, people are selling or trading in their old cars for the newer green cars. That is actually good for the rest of us, who prefer a pre-owned car with lower prices. There are a lot of used cars in the market now to choose from. I am sure that finding one will be a snap. My honey found me a great SUV for my Christmas present and I absolutely love it. I has everything I would have chosen for myself. I think he did an awesome job car shopping.
Up cycling Goodwill buys
Neat little ideas to spruce up those Goodwill and yard sale finds. It really doesn’t take a lot to make an object fresh and new again. You don’t even have to use it for it’s original purpose either. Just be creative and you can make over anything you find and use it to decorate your home with original style. Hope you like her ideas!
Unsecured business funding
Looking for unsecured business funding can be tricky. It always helps to ask a lot of questions. If you organize your thoughts at home and put all of your questions down on paper, it makes it much easier. I find that taking notes when I am doing the research is the best way to go about it. Then you only need to look back at the notes to formulate your thoughts into the questions you need answered. I always used this as a good study habit when I was in school and fall back on it from time to time. Makes things a lot easier to organize.
New tires
Well boo, I have to go buy new tires for the Jeep. I really didn’t want to do that until after Christmas, but one of them went flat and my honey said to just go do it. Tires for a 4WD are not cheap by any means, but I have no choice so I will. I am going to have to take the kids with me and that can be a pain. Have you ever taken the kids to any kind of repair shop? If you have then you know exactly what I am about to go through. At least the shop we go to has a nice sitting room with a TV and refreshments as well. I will make them bring a book or something as well.
I have to write down what he told me about the tires to buy. I should have had him text it to me, but alas I didn’t think of it and he is at work. He wants me to get a slightly different tire then what is one there. The tires on it now are street tires only and he wants something a little sturdier than that. As you know we go out four wheeling and camping in remote places, so he doesn’t want to have to worry about the tires not being able to handle the terrain. That is definitely important when we are out in the woods. I will probably have to call him or take pictures of the tires from the shop and send to him so he can see what I am buying. I want to make sure that it is the right thing after all. I do not want to have to go back. I am not ever sure that you can once you leave. Better to get it right the first time.
I couldn’t help looking
In my search online for houses, I found beverly hills real estate site. A girl can dream, even though I will never have enough money to live in such a place. The homes were just gorgeous and expensive! Oh to live in a house like one of those. I could never keep it clean by myself that is for sure. I do wonder what it is like to live that kind of life, a life of privilege and lots of money. I definitely would not be able to sit around all day. I can’t keep still most of the time as it is. I am sure the staff that is required to keep it up would get annoyed with me interfering.
I saw a few that were so large that you could fit several families in there to live and hardly ever see each other. If I ever hit the power ball, I would buy one just to have for vacation. We would spend all of our extra time there, enjoying the Southern California weather. I doubt it gets as cold there as it does here, that’s for sure. I do know that it gets a lot hotter in the summer time. After all, death valley isn’t that far away. Oh well, enough time dreaming. I have work to do.
House hunting
Well we have really out grown this house and want to have a larger piece of property. I went and looked at a cute little farm this morning. The house wasn’t very large but the property was amazing. It had a barn, a chicken coop and a couple of other out buildings as well. I am encouraged even though it needs work. Needing work just means we can get it for a better price, and that is a very good thing. If we get it for a good enough price, we can just put an add on to the house and enlarge it, or close in the back porch. We have a lot of considering to do though.
His Jeep
My mans Jeep CJ7 is the bomb. Now that we both have Jeeps, we will have more room for camping equipment on our trips. Plus, we can now get another trailer for the four wheelers and take all of those with us as well. Most of the time we have had to have a friend carry two of them for us if they were going and had room. To be honest, we have only been able to take all of them one time. This will definitely be a bonus.
He said something about putting a rack on the top too. That way when we take our long trips to the mountains, we can take the kayaks as well. He wants to take everything with us. It makes me laugh and just shake my head. Oh well, we have the room now. I have a feeling our big trip next year will be a doozy and last much longer than usual.
There are still a few things he wants to do to his cj7 before spring hits, but I am confidant that it will all get done. Winter seems to be the season we up grade or buy our toys for summer fun. I have been thinking about getting him a snow mobile, but we don’t get enough snow here to actually use it very often. Last year we only got about two inches of snow. I know that he has always wanted one, perhaps we can get one and trailer it behind the cj7 up to a friends when they get snow. It is only about three hours away from us and they get a lot of snow. I know that it doesn’t make much sense for us to get so little snow and them a whole bunch. We aren’t that far away from each other after all.
Personalized napkins
I had to re order the personalized napkins, because there was something wrong with the printing. I am not sure what happened, or if we got the wrong ones. It is no big deal, because we made a change to the order when we re ordered it. Now we just have to wait for the new ones to come in. I am sure that it was a simple mistake, but it is fixed now. I will put them in the storage with every thing else when they arrive. I wonder if I should check on the wedding favor bags as well, just to be sure? Nah, I think it will be fine.
Wedding centerpieces
Well the Wedding centerpieces have finally arrived. There is so much stuff that we decided to rent a small storage unit for all of it. The storage place is right around the corner from my house and I can take the stuff there whenever I have to run out. That is part of the reason we decided to do all of the planning from my house. That and my house is bigger than her apartment. The only concern she had was the kids getting into some of it, but I assured her that wouldn’t happen, plus we have to storage unit. That made her feel much better about it. I love her dearly, and I am so happy to be able to help her plan her wedding.
Cleaning today
I have been scouring the house today. I just finished with the bathrooms, which were in desperate need of a good cleaning. I have been so busy, that I have let a few things slide and have to make up for it today. That is no biggie though, I just want it done before Christmas vacation hits and the kids are home all day every day. Keeping up with it after that is going to be challenging enough, what with the holidays and such. Tomorrow I am going to get a bunch of the Christmas shopping done when my check comes in. After that, I will have to wait until next week to get the last minute stuff. At least I was able to pick up all of the stocking stuffers today. I really don’t think I need anything else for those. Honestly, I cannot wait for the Holiday’s to be over. I am impatiently waiting for the new year to begin. I hope that it will be better then this one has, because this one was not very good for anyone that I know.
