Left Handed Challenges

When I was young, I remember my mother trying to encourage me to write with my right hand. This was hard for her to do, since she was left-handed, and I wanted to be just like her! I actually have become ambidextrous, which is great, but I have developed a true empathy for “lefties” in a “right-hander’s world.” Taking notes, for example is a challenge because the notebook’s binder is on the left side, which becomes an obstruction to writing!

When Charlie told me about how he was trying to find a left handed guitar store to be able to buy a guitar for his son Jake, I offered to try to help him find one. Thank goodness for the Internet! Googling “left handed guitars” under their “shopping” tab brought up several places to check out.

Some friend he is

Would you believe a friend of mine suggest I sign up for one of those online dating services?  I now question what kind of friend he is.  But then he started telling me that he met his wife online.  I couldn’t believe it.  I thought they met through a friend.  She’s a really sweet person and they both sat me down and told me that now they do better at screening who signs up for them.  You know, I might give it a try.  Maybe, maybe not.

Frustrating

When Dave told me that Ellie wants a pair of eskuche 33i headphones, I thought it would be easy to find reviews on them (I don’t want to buy anything that has bad reviews) so I went to YouTube (which is a place I tend to trust for reviews) and was disappointed (and frustrated) that I could not find any reviews on that particular set. On top of that, they don’t seem to be “in stock” at my favorite music supply website! So I guess I’m going to suggest to Dave that he ask Ellie if she has another choice that she would be happy with!

Starting The Christmas Shopping

As much as I hate to do it, I’ve decided that I need to go ahead and start my Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving. Last year there were a few things that I wanted to get for gifts but ended up having to order them because the stores were out of stock, and the gifts did not arrive until late January! Mark told me that he wants to get his nephew an inexpensive electric guitar for Christmas, so I’m starting now to look online for electric guitars for sale cheap to try to get the best deal and have it arrive in time for Christmas. Wish me luck!

Need a new guitar bag

I am so angry at Shawn’s dog right now I could just scream! I have asked Shawn repeatedly to not let that dog roam around the house un-supervised when I am not at home. Do you think he would listen to me and honor my request? Yeah, right! That stupid dog has chewed up my guitar bag, so now I need to go online to see MF and try to get a new one delivered by the weekend. I don’t have the time to run into town to pick one up. I’m going to make Shawn pay for the new bag and the expedited delivery charge, too! I guess I should just be glad that the stupid dog didn’t ruin the guitar, too!

Online college

Most online colleges are good schools but I found how to get Online master degrees from one of the top ranked private colleges in the country. Yes a lot of the top colleges are afraid that attending classes online will not give their students a proper education but just the opposite is true.

One things for sure, if Kiplingers Personal Finance ranks Gonzaga University a best value among private universities, then it has to be a great college. I’m going to do a lot more checking into what they have to offer. A good education is something no one can ever take from you.

College books

Well we found a place to order my nieces college books online. She will be able to visit one of their many stores when she gets to school, if she needs anything else. I am sure that she will, the professors always add something or another, but with any luck she is covered. I am so proud that my niece is going off to college. It makes me feel a little bit old though. Seems like yesterday, she was a little thing playing in my closet and trying on my shoes with her little feet. I think I am going to tear up now.

Deal dash

I found an article on DealDash that tells you just what it is like to shop on their site. They give an amazing over view of the company and how it is almost like a game to be played. The DealDash Review also tells you what to do, to be successful on the site.

I think Deal Dash makes shopping online a lot more fun and bidding is easy. I have a few things that I am keeping an eye on right now. I am hoping that I win the auction for my bids. Check it out and see if you like it, because it never hurts to give it a try.

Online shoe shopping

I love shoes as everyone knows and I am frequently ordering them online. Today I found the most amazing online shoes coupon code. I am so happy. A girl can never have enough shoes and the site I found has tons of different brands and styles of shoes. The promo codes for discounts are what I love the most though. Lets face it, we are all looking for sales and deals all the time. The best sales are usually found from Thanksgiving to Christmas, but with online promo codes, you can get good deals all year long.

The online shoes promo code I found just saved me sixty seven percent on a pair of boots I have been looking at but really couldn’t afford till now. I was also able to get free shipping with another code from the same site. That lowered my cost even more and believe me when I tell you, it made me very happy. So, for all of the women out there who love to shop online for shoe deals, you really need to check this out. I know that I will be using this for a couple of Christmas presents for my nieces. They love shoes as much as I do.

I am going to use the promo codes for sandals now while they are really cheap, because I practically live in sandals in the spring and summer months. When it is warm out, I have to have my feet free. Unfortunately, I live where it gets really cold during the winter and cannot wear them then too. That is okay though, because it gives me a reason to buy boots like the ones I just bought today. They were lovely winter boots with fur around the tops, that will keep my feet toasty warm when I go outside.

This is neat

As you all know, I am always working on my house. I want it to look good and since I bought a fixer upper, it is necessary. I like to do the work myself as well. I get a better feel of accomplishment out of it. I am currently looking at kitchen cabinets and found a diy cabinet store online. Bonus! They come ready to assemble with complete instructions and they are beautiful. I am seriously considering this method. Wish me luck!
