Blank Music Sheets

Bless her heart. My niece Feori is asking me to order her some blank music sheets at musicians friend again. Her mother is really struggling with fiances right now. Being a single mother isn’t an easy job and I like to be able to help out when I am able to. If Feori needs something that her mom can’t get for her, it’s the least I can do for her. This girl is really talented when it comes to music. We aren’t quite sure where she came up with this type of talent. No close relatives on either side can dance, sing or play any type of instrument that I can figure out.

But I do know that she is a good kid going through a tough time and if music keeps her busy, happy and out of trouble, I’m right there with her on that. Now all I have to do is figure out what I am going to get her for Christmas.

Online Shopping Is The Only Way To Go This Christmas

This year I am trying to purchase as many gifts as I can online. I hate everything about the holiday shopping madness that we find ourselves in each year and last year was the last of it for me. I can’t stand the crowds, the Christmas music, the loud and unruly kids, the weather, the parking and everything else that we have to go through each Christmas. There are plenty of great deals to be found using the Internet. You can find just about anything that you could imagine online. And more people are turning to the Internet for their purchases, what with free shipping, promo codes and coupons a plenty, merchants are bending over backwards to accommodate the growing population of online shoppers like myself.

My sister is also trying to avoid the mall and the other merchants like Walmart, Target and the like. So we are bouncing ideas and web site links back and forth to each other more and more as Christmas is fast approaching. She found some decent Best Buy promo codes over the weekend and shot me off a quick email with the link to Savings.com to see if I could find anything that I would be interested in. Right now that are advertising: 10-50% Off DVDs: Select Titles $6.99 And Under which is a good price, DVDs are always a good gift to give to just about anyone these days. I have found that they are offering “Save $15-$70 on Select GPS Receivers & GPS Accessories” which is a chunk of change to knock off of the total price at checkout time.

With deals like this out there who needs to go out to get ready for the holidays?

For My Listening Pleasure

The jbl speakers at guitar center that I found and ordered came in yesterday. That was quicker than I would have thought they would be, but that is a good thing. I was seriously considering giving these jbl speakers to my brother for Christmas but I hooked them up to make sure that they work and now I am really thinking about keeping them. A good set of speakers can make a huge difference in one’s listening pleasure!

Maybe I’ll make a decision in the next couple of days. I have plenty of time, Christmas isn’t for two more months.

Leave it to Beaver

I love watching black and white television shows and movies. They are one of my favorite currently available and I find that I like the classic movies and shows better than ones that have been made in just a few years from now. One of my favorite shows to watch in HD on my Cable Television is definitely Leave it to Beaver. Many people may not know about this show because it was created about fifty years ago. It’s one of those perfect shows that consists of a good natured housewife and a good family with a hard working husband. In as few terms as possible, it’s an unrealistic family that has been set into a long television show. They have made about six different seasons and I have all of them on DVD.

My mother actually makes fun of me for watching this show. It’s completely outdated and most people don’t really like it because it is completely unrealistic. But that’s probably why I like it so much. It’s just one of those shows that completely takes you out of your normal life and takes you into a world that is based on complete perfection. I guess not everything is perfect, but most of the episodes are definitely based on that perfect family that almost everyone would love to have in their normal and everyday lives.

Fashion Jewelry For Christmas Gift Giving

You really have to check this site for fashion jewelry, for the up and coming gift giving requirements, that are looming right ahead of us, The Jewler’s Wife! I remember ordering several pieces from them last year right about this time and was happy with the whole process and the products that I received as well.

I really hate waiting for the last minute to get all of the gifts purchased, in my spare room, wrapped and ready to go for all the people that I end up buying gifts for each year. Online shopping is the way to go these days. You won’t catch me in any old brick and mortar stores during the long and tedious holiday shopping frenzy!

The Beatles

I was really surprised to find so many Beatle songs that have been done over by other artists. I guess it’s a good thing though, it might help to keep their music alive and going even though we seem to be losing them one by one through out the years. God Bless The Beatles!
