Like I was saying my washer and dryer broke, so today Hubby and I are going to go shopping for a new washer and dryer. I had checked on the Internet to look up a few places that have great sales going on, so we can save as much as possible, seeing it’s about to be my sons birthday in a few weeks. The prices on these things are outrageous, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I looked at a single washer, and saw that it’s about $600! We’ll have to see what’s out there before we start purchasing the first thing we see, wish us luck.
Credit Card deals to be found
Hubby and I are going to sit and review our present credit card situation. I want to see if we can downsize, I just paid off one credit card this month and will no longer use it, that is a good feeling.
There is a great variety of attractive and very profitable deals to be made by taking the time to research on a web-site, so I know what we will be doing in the next couple of days or so. It is not something that I look forward to doing all that much, paperwork just drives me up the wall and Hubby is not known for his patience, but if in the end we end up saving and or earning money it will be well worth the effort, wouldn’t you agree?
Chocolate for Mother’s Day!
Chocolate, I love chocolate, which is really strange, because for the last 20 years or so I had lost my taste for this wonderful treat that I can’t seem to get enough of this last year or so. I even like the sound of the word!
I was looking at some sites for Mother Day gift ideas, when I ran across this site www.gertrudehawkchocolates.com and not only did I see some great gift ideas for all of the mothers in my life, but I found some nice ideas that I will have to share with Hubby and the girls, so that they will have an idea of what I would like to receive this year, and Mother’s Day is coming quickly this year.
This really tastey site has not only great gift giving ideas, but corporate gifts, plus I see that they also offer fundraising opportunities that my come in handy when my input is required for the many fundraising events that my girls are always getting me in to.
TravelHERO is so convenient
My family has been waiting all winter long to go to Disney World this coming summer, we needed to plan in advance what hotel we were going to stay at and how we were going to get there. Well after searching the Internet for a while I came across a website called Travelhero and had found that you can look up every hotel there and find cheap hotel reservations for any one of your choices. I had looked through a good amount of their options of hotels and had also found that they looked marvelous on the inside and out with great prices that I wasn’t at all expecting. We also reserved a car for us to rent for our transportation on TravelHERO, it was so quick and easy and I don’t have to worry about doing it later.
NoBrainerBlinds – it’s a no brainer indeed
When we first moved into this house we are now in, we thought we needed to get rid of all the white paint that was everywhere. So we painted room room a different color to make it more comfortable for us to live in. We went nuts over all kinds of really nice piece’s of furniture with matching tables and curtains and and some nice blinds that just fit with the room. Well my husband and I were thinking about upgrading our window wear and try to make it unique as possible, so we got on to the computer in search for window blinds that have our style we were looking for. We came across a company called NoBrainerBlinds that sells unique window blinds, and we were so amazed on how fabulous these blinds were. Each and every one of them were very much unique. Not too long after ordering, we put up our new blinds and we were so happy with our choices, talk about great service, with wonderful options.
The Cubs are Hubby’s choice of teams
Hubby has been a Chicago Cubs fan for ever and a day, his father was originally from “The Windy City” and they both went to the games all through-out his childhood and up until he moved down here right before he met me. As a matter of fact the first time I met him he was sporting a Cubs cap on his head.
I’m thinking of Father’s Day, which will be coming up in another month or so, and I want to get something different this year that will float Hubby’s boat real good. I stumbled across a web-site www.cubworld.com that offers a nice selection of some cool Cubs gear along with other gifts and baseball memorabilia for die hard fans like him, things that just might put a smile on his face. I will call his Mom in the next couple of days when I have some time to chat and will pick her brain to see what she thinks he may like, she can go on-line and check out the goodies that CubWorld.com has and maybe she will choose something for his Dad for his Father’s Day gift also.
Myspace madness
I had recently watched on the news that a teenage girl was brutally attacked and badly beaten all starting with Myspace. Myspace if you haven’t heard, is a website on the Internet allowing everyone and to make a profile about themselves and chat with friends, family, and everyone else in the world. Well I think Myspace from the looks of it, is a bad ideal to have simply because of all the beating and rapes that happen all starting with Myspace. Something must be done here before anything else can happen. My oldest daughter got her MySpace up and running about a year ago and now the youngest one wants one, don’t know if that will happen!
BIG Boxing news!
It appears that Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer told ESPN.com Wednesday. that last spring box office records were shattered when Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Oscar De La Hoya met, says that they are close to finishing a deal for a rematch scheduled for either September 13th or the 20th of 2008, which will be viewed on HBO pay-per-view.
And guess what Hubby wants for his Father’s Day present this year, yes he wants some Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. tickets even though they haven’t even decided where this main event will take place. Hubby says that it doesn’t matter where it will be held, that he will get there come hell or high water and that you can purchase the tickets already at on the web-site of .
I can’t say that I blame him, he has been an avid boxing fan since he was a little boy when he and his Dad would stay up late on nights that any boxing match was been shown on television.
I guess I better check it out and see if I can scrape up a little bit of extra cash so that I can make Hubby’s wish come true, it isn’t often that he ever tells me of anything that he wants for a gift on any of the many occasions that I have to give him something!
Mommy is going to cook dinner tonight
Today my sister had sent me a few receipts over the Internet that her and her family seemed to enjoy, and I find them to be very different then what we usually eat in my household. My son and I are going to go shopping for the ingredients we need to make something new and tasty that the entire family will love to eat for dinner, plus I think I need to do more cooking, I’ve been slacking in that area lately. By the way I do love my husband’s attempt in “Southern cooking”, but I do think it’s time for mommy to step in and take charge of the kitchen once again, and have a part in sitting down with the family and smiling and enjoying our delicious new food experiences.
Full bellies before it’s time to go to bed of course, I always say, or you wont have a good night’s sleep. My son had told me that he wants to help mommy cook dinner tonight, which by the way I think is an absolute great and fantastic idea. I can’t wait to try out our new food creations, and hopefully we won’t burn the kitchen down in the process!
Brother-in-law sends good news about his new job
Just received an interesting email from my brother-in-law with the subject line saying “heating and cooling PA”, it’s a darn good thing that I noticed it was from him, otherwise I would have deleted it thinking that it was spam. His email had told me that he had just landed a job with a wonderful company that he sent me the link to, for me to check out. The link is www.lowryelectric.com and after reviewing the site I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is around the Delaware and Pennsylvania area who is trying to find spectacular service with their Electric, heating and cooling needs.
He should do well with this job because he has been working in this field for years and its right up his alley. I hope that he will stay with this company for a good long while so that he can take advantage of the benefits that they offer because his wife is expecting their first baby in November this year and needs to have a job where there is not only great benefits but also wonderful people to work with to make his day go by quicker and feel more satisfied then his previous job.
