Locating The Right Raleigh Air Conditioning

We can only hope that the Raleigh air conditioning company that my sister contacted can come out quickly and get the job done in a timely fashion. This heat wave is getting totally unbearable for most of us, with no end in sight. My goodness it is only the middle of June and we are having extreme weather that is unhealthy for a good amount of folks around here. I can’t image not having air conditioning through this whole ordeal.

Since sis doesn’t know may people in the area that she just moved to she had to rely on the Internet to find someone to come to her rescue. It didn’t take long for her to find someone, I really hope it all works out well for all concerned.

Scrubs For The Summer

As you know I am looking for some new clothes to wear for the hot summer months. As much as I love summer, the heat is becoming harder and harder to tolerate, so it is getting harder to find clothes to wear that keep me cooler while still looking at least half way decent out in public. My sister just gave me a great idea about wearing some of the scrubs uniforms that so many of our medical people have been wearing and enjoying for years now. They are indeed coming out with some pretty cool scrub uniforms these days, so I’m taking her recommendation and have gone to blue sky scrubs website and ordered a couple sets of them to try out.

Of course I took advantage of the sets that they currently have on sale. The colors are all good colors for me to wear so it wasn’t a problem finding some that I think will do the trick quite nicely. I like that they have free returns and exchanges for all orders and that you can get free shipping with orders of $155 or more, which I just barely qualified for, but I did it!

Creepy Spiders

Spider bites are becoming a problem with me around the house. They seem to be every where and I keep waking up in the morning to find new spider bites on my upper legs. It is creeping me out, those little critters are getting a bit to close to my business, if you know what I mean!

This is the time of the year that so many critters are known for creeping around. Guess I need to find some good spray to spray around the place.

Offerings of Good Drums

My sister and my niece have been staying with me for a few months now since it is more logical due to the financial crisis we both are experiencing. I only have a 2 bedroom home so my sister and I ended up making the garage into a play area or hangout area for my niece, since she has been asking about having her own space.

When we finished it up, we talked about purchasing some good dynasty drums for her to play around with since her old drum set was ruined by their dog at their previous home. I searched around on the net to see what I could find and that was suitable for her and our pockets. I came across a really cool site that offered good dynasty drums for an unbelievable prices, and was excited for my sister to see. When I finally got her to sit down and take a look, she was amazed at the prices and immediately ordered one we both thought she would enjoy.

In no time it had arrived at the house and was ready for us to set up in my nieces new hang out room. When my niece had come home from school she walked into the garage and was shocked and ran over to the drum set and immediately took to it. She is enjoying her new drum set and hang out room to the fullest. I couldn’t be any happier or more thrilled and I know my sister and niece are too without question.

Cat Stevens

I wonder whatever happened to Cat Stevens. I haven’t heard anything about him in so long. I fell in love with his music when I was a kid, my parents used to play his album back before CDs where even thought of. I’m glad that my parents always had music playing in the house that we grew up in. I love all types of music and You Tube has become one of my best friends as of late.

Today’s Burlap

It seems that burlap is making a come-back, in a big way. I have never been a big fan of burlap, but today’s burlap is being used in so many pretty cool ways. I was looking at http://www.burlap-tablecloth.com and see that tablecloths, overlays, table runners, isle runners, burlap table toppers, fitted tablecloths, chair covers, sashes. napkins, drapes and a whole lot more is being made with burlap.

Check it out. I just might be using some of the gift cards that I received for Christmas at this site.

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.

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.

Rain Guards & Wind Deflectors

I can’t tell you how many times I have been driving down the road and the rains start coming down, and hard. That is when you see all the motorcycles pulling off of the road and waiting under a bridge or an over pass waiting for the down pour to end so that they can get back on their bikes and hit the road once again. I’ve been caught in the rain while on the back of a motorcycle and it can suck all the fun right out of a nice ride, whether you are driving are riding on the back.

Even in a car, the rain can certainly make driving a major challenge. I know that there are wind deflectors and rain guards available out there and I’m going to start looking into purchasing one for my only is spring a rainy season, but we have a lot of rain in the fall as well and I’m tired of dealing with it.

My brother-in-law is urging me to visit carid.com, which has been in business since 2003 and he has used them frequently. They specialize in custom and OEM car accessories and offer there products for interior and exterior custom styling for performance and your comfort.

I’ve never much been into the customizing of any my vehicles, but my brother-in-law is all about cars, motorcycles and trucks and he knows what he is doing and talking about. So I have asked him to check out the best rain guard for my vehicle and see what he can come up with for me and soon. Next thing you know winter will be here and then we have to deal with snow and all that goes along with that nonsense. I just want to get fall over and done with at this point.
