I know it’s silly, but everyone I know has gotten their check in the mail from Bush and I have yet to even see mine in the mail yet. When I do ever receive mine I’m probably going to buy a new Flat Screen Computer like I have always wanted to get. The computer I currently own isn’t exactly the greatest, but it gets the job done, I just need something a bit faster. Hopefully I can find a well priced monitor around Walmart or Office Depot.
New House Equipment
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.
Out with the old, and in with the new
For years I have been dying to upgrade every piece of technology I have in the house, and try to make it more comfortable to us, and more appealing to the eye. Well I have taken a lot of electronics and sold them at the flea market to get a little bit back for all of it, and I am now ready to go shopping for my 56′ Big screen TV that I have always wanted. I am so excited to think about when I see my family’s faces when I arrive home with a huge TV.
Bush appears on ‘Deal’ to thank a contestant (and war vet)
I can’t believe that I missed this, bummer!
Fri Apr 18, 8:02 PM ET
A presidential thank-you is part of the deal for a contestant on NBC’s game show, “Deal or No Deal,” when President Bush makes a surprise appearance.
The episode, airing Monday, features Capt. Joseph Kobes, as he attempts to win enough cash to pay off his parents’ home. But the dealmaking is briefly halted for Kobes, a Purple Heart and Bronze Star recipient who has served in Iraq three times. Bush surprises him by appearing on a screen to express gratitude for his service and wish him luck in the game.
Bush’s message was taped at the White House.
The game of odds, hosted by Howie Mandel, calls for a contestant to predict the amount of cash contained in any of 26 sealed briefcases. The top prize for guessing correctly is $1 million.
No details were released on how Kobes, an Army transportation officer from Sumner, Wash., fared in his quest for the jackpot.
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!
Dreams of buying a new car
Yesterday while I was out and about I drove by a new car sales lot here in town and had saw a beautiful 2006 Scion that I have always wanted to see up close, in person, I’ve already looked at one that was on-line. So I’m thinking of some time in the near future taking a trip downtown to the lot and see if I can get a good look at it and possibly take it for a test drive. I’m sure I could never afford it but one can dream can’t they, and of course there is always the lottery!
