A Good Quality Raleigh Cleaning Service

Spending some time online looking at gift options for my sister. I think she would really appreciate a raleigh cleaning service that would come into her house and get it a good cleaning, from top to bottom. She has been very overwhelmed with the new baby and her two and a half year old, which isn’t allowing her the time that she needs to get everything done that normally she would be right on top of.

The Other Woman, Inc sounds like they would be the perfect fit for what sis needs and wants. I have heard about The Other Woman from other people and they all seem to be satisfied with them. Word of mouth is still the best way of advertising, with the Internet falling right on it’s heels. I hope that this gift from me to her will make her Christmas a good one and that we have many more Christmas holidays ahead of us all.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

A few years ago, while perusing through TV channels one Saturday evening, I discovered that my favorite Christmas tale of all time, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, was airing in its live action movie format. I’d loved the book and the cartoon specials as a child and thought they did a good job of fleshing out the story in order to accommodate the feature length format. I was living with my college roommates at the time and we waxed nostalgia while enjoying it on TV. The movie plot basically follows the book where the anti-Christmas Grinch tries to spoil it for the people of Whoville by stealing all of their presents. Realizing the true meaning of Christmas after the folks of Whoville were able to enjoy it even without presents, the Grinch has a change of heart. The movie was directed by Ron Howard and starred Jim Carrey. It originally came out back in 2000 at the height of Carrey’s popularity.

Anyway, watching it has pretty much become an annual holiday event for me. Now that I’m out of school and back at home, I’ve been watching it the last two years with my parents. We usually catch the weekend showing when the whole family can get together. The only other requirements we have are some snacks, drinks and some cozy blankets.

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.

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!

Good Insurance Is a Must

Times are seeming to get any better these days. I’m still hearing way too many hard luck stories from everyone that I talk with, from all walks of life. I know things are still extremely tight with my budget issues, so a lot of time is going into finding the best value for the money when I’m researching any of my purchases online and off. I’m even going to start looking a bit at what types of deals I can found for my insurance needs, I know that they are ways to find the best home insurance online, I’ve just got to make time to sit down and take the time to do some browsing.

I’ve always realized how important having a good insurance company and a good insurance policy is, but I’m sure that I can find some online specials that will help loosen up the purse strings a bit. Christmas is coming up sooner rather than later  and I don’t want to be broke for that occasion. So if a fire starts and all my Christmas presents burn all up I want to know that I can turn to my insurance company for replacement satisfaction.

Roland Micro Cube Combo Amp Black

You just gotta love how easy it is to find things on the Internet, just a few key strokes into the Google search engine, such as “Roland Micro Cube Combo Amp Black” and badda boom, badda bing, insto presto it came up with the perfect  amp that I am looking into purchasing my my nephew for birthday party next month.

Sure beats the heck out of running from store to store, or worse yet using the old paper version of the Yellow Pages. I haven’t used the Yellow Pages in years, as soon as I was finds it’s way to my house it goes straight into the Recycling bin that the city provides us all with.

Gift Cards!!!

I really love how gift cards have become so popular for people to use and receive as presents these days. I managed to receive a nice little bundle of them this year and look forward to using them for things that I find and want. I love the challenge of researching and comparing products online. It beats the heck out of going out and dealing with all the issues that go along with shopping and believe me I have a lot of issues with shopping. I’ve become so spoiled by the Internet that I just don’t see the need to go out when I can stay in and get much better deals, better service and a whole lot bigger selection online.

I have a few items that I will be looking into soon, some new linens and bedding for my new mattress is definitely in order. I’ve been waiting for after Christmas see what selections are reduced. From Clothes to Home Furnishings and Decor, there are just a massive amount of savings to be found with having Internet access, you gotta love it! I use ShopWiki.com a lot and would urge anyone into checking them out when venturing out there.

Popular Birthday Months

With some of the tax money that I have finally gotten back from the IRS I will be able to purchase a few birthday gifts that are needed for the busy birthday month of May. May and September are popular months for so many of my friends and family for some reason. With the month of March coming in third place. I didn’t have much cash (and I’m not using my credit cards for presents) in March, so it will feel good to be able to have a few bucks to make sure that the folks that celebrate their birthday in May will be happy with me this year.

My brother has been talking about position indicators, so I thought I would look around online and see what is out there. My mother is hinting at needing new drinking glasses. I have all ready found the perfect ones that I am going to order this weekend. My niece is a whole different issue. I still can’t figure out the perfect gift for her. Tweens are so difficult to buy for. Besides she is spoiled rotten and is given any and every thing that she needs and wants. One of lives many challenges when it comes to buying appropriate gifts that will be appreciated.
