New Bedroom furniture for me maybe?

Helping Mom look for new furniture has gotten me interested in maybe getting a new bedroom suite too.  I found some ideal standard bathrooms online that really sparked my interest.  The selection was great so it took me quite a while to find just a couple that I could narrow my choices to.

Then I decided to check out bathroom accessories that would go along with my new look in my bedroom.  There’s nothing worse than having a master bedroom with a bathroom in it that doesn’t flow along with the bedroom decor.  I have seen that too many times in my friends homes.  To me, it takes away from the beautiful bedroom if the bathroom doesn’t reflect the same style, you know?

Then I came across the kudos showers and suddenly decided I needed a part time job to do what I wanted to do to both my bedroom and master bathroom.  But you know what, it’s going to be fabulous when I finish.  I can’t wait to get started.

Well we broke a record here

Ever since they have been keeping weather records, this is the first time ever that we have had 5 days in a row of 70 degrees or over in February.  That’s so cool to me.  I am so loving this weather.  But get this, here’s the bummer in all of the wonderful weather.  We might get snow Sunday night into Monday.  Welcome to February I guess.  I’ll gladly take the 70’s but they can keep their snow.  I’ve had enough and I don’t think that’s going to stop the possibility of snow though.

I guess I better head to the grocery store to get milk, bread, and eggs because anytime they call for the dreaded ‘S’ word, you can’t find milk, bread or eggs anywhere.  Wonder why that is?  I guess those are the three things you’re most likely to run out of.

Mom thinking about redecorating

Since my father passes, my mother has been in a bit of a slump.  I guess I should say that she has grieved for a long time.  My sisters and I had a long talk with her about it and I even told her about what I was going to do for her for Valentines day.  I really think all of what we had to say came as a shock to her.  She just didn’t realize it showed I think.

We told her she needed to make some positive changes so she could get on with her life.  Well she popped up and said she would love to get some new furniture.  We all thought that was a wonderful idea.  He said that she has always liked furnishing from Italy or Germany.  Daddy didn’t so they had what he wanted instead of what she liked.  They make some of the prettiest modern furniture and that’s what she was wanting to do, go modern.

I told her about a web site that carried furnishings from Spain and Belgium too.  She loved the thought and went straight to her computer and started shopping.  The best part is that the furniture is 100% guaranteed authentic.  Once we started looking at the furniture, all of us understood what it was Mom liked about furniture from there.  It’s absolutely gorgeous.  The first thing she picked out was a wonderful bed by Ruf Betten.  It is wonderful but sure was a surprise to us that it was something Mom wanted.  I can’t wait until she gets it.  I think Mom’s going to be just fine now.

I keep hearing this

My mother has tried to get me to write childrens books for years.  Then the other day, someone else told me that I should be a writer from a not that I had written.  Then in the same day, another friend told me that I could write a book.  I might be able to talk the ears off of a Mule but write a book?  ME?  I don’t know about all of that.

Maybe I’ll try writing a childrens book but once I do then comes the problem of what the heck do I do with it once it’s written?  I don’t have any idea.  I guess I need to do a little research and maybe a little writing too.  Why not?

I found what to give my mother for Valentines Day

Since Daddy passed away, Mom has not taken care of herself like she used to do when Daddy was still alive.  She used to always take good care of her skin, kept her hair fixed and wore some make-up.  Now she just sort of mopes around without fixing her hair and I haven’t seen her wear make-up in far too long.  In fact, she’s starting to really show her age and she’s not that old.

A friend told me about Atlanta med spa.  They said they sent their mother there for her birthday last year and it really made a big difference in her life.  She was in the same situation as my mother.  She had let herself go too.  They told me that they are a results-oriented medical facility and everything they do is without any type of surgery.

I liked the sounds of that because I know Mom won’t have plastic surgery but this sounds like something she would love.  What they do is help erase the signs of aging with state of the art technology to revitalize their skin. It helps to add fullness to your lips and face and shape your body to dramatically reduce the signs of aging. They only offer products, services and procedures that work, are scientifically sound but more important, they are totally safe.

Another beautiful day

I can’t believe how warm it is lately.  The wind is blowing like it does in March and I’m getting spring fever something awful.  I just hate cold weather and what it does to everything.  Everyone gets sick, your skin dries out and you just feel like going to bed, pulling the covers over your head and hibernating till spring.

Well hopefully spring will come early like it seems to be doing.  I sure hope so.  I’m ready to see the leaves on the trees and flowers blooming in the yards.  I’m tired of all the dreary days.  I want to get out and go fishing, go on a picnic or something besides sitting in the house shivering.

My friend is in financial trouble

She has a nasty habit of using her credit cards for everything from gas to groceries and usually pays most of it off when her statement comes but when gas went through the roof, she couldn’t do that.  Now she’s in over her head.  Not to mention, the credit card companies want such high monthly payments now that she’s gotten herself in a bind.

I told her she needs to check into some sort of Debt Settlement and they can help her to get through this rough spot she’s hit in the road.  It can happen to anyone and these guys help in more ways than most.  They will help keep you from having to file bankruptcy which is where she’s headed if she doesn’t do something soon.

They’ll help her to lower her monthly payments by fixing it to where she only has one lower monthly payment that is far more manageable.  She doesn’t even have to talk to the people she owes personally, they do that for you and she could be debt free in 1 to 3 years.  That sounds wonderful if you ask me.  She promised me she would check into it before she did anything else.  I think she’s making the right choice personally.

Are your bulbs coming up?

I just noticed this morning as I was leaving for work that my crocus are up and blooming.  My daffodils are up about 4 inches too.  I thought that stupid groundhog said we were going to have 6 more weeks of winter.  I think he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.  Maybe they will have 6 more weeks of winter in Pennsylvania but it sure doesn’t feel or look like it here.  I hope we have seen the last of the really cold weather personally.

Do you need Virus Removal?

One things for sure, you sure don’t want to get caught without virus protection.  That’s just asking for nothing but trouble with as any viruses as there are and as many as keep surfacing almost daily.  A virus can totally destroy your hard drive and everything you have on it.  In fact, if you get a bad enough virus, it would be cheaper to just buy another computer than to try and have that one fixed.  Some of them are that bad.  You sure won’t catch me without it, that’s for sure.

Virus Removal is a lot easier when you already have a virus protection program on your computer.  CyberDefender looks threats and decides the risk levels of suspicious files or processes that may contain harmful viruses. This threat assessment process is a lot faster than traditional methods and allows for faster, precise detection and treatment of malicious viruses, phishing attempts, dangerous spam,  spyware, and various forms of anything else that might be of harm to your computer or the security of it.  You couldn’t ask for more than that, now could you?  So if you’re not happy with your virus protection or time to renew, why not consider changing to CyberDefender?

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss?

That is about the most unlikely pairing I have heard of yet when it comes to music.  Everyone knows Robert Plant from Led Zepplin and Allison Krauss started off as a Bluegrass singer.  Talk about opposites when it came to music but somehow they clicked together and won a total of 5 Grammy’s.  Go figure.

The 51st annual Grammys was an all-ages affair ultimately dominated by a rock legend who took up with a younger bluegrass singer on a whim.  The unlikely pairing of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss that produced the hit album “Raising Sand” won five Grammys on Sunday including album of the year. The former Led Zeppelin front man, previously best known for his high-decibel shrieking and rock star theatrics, found more docile Nashville melodies with Krauss.

While accepting the Grammy for album of the year, the 37-year-old Krauss – perhaps wanting to remind the audience that Plant’s rock star hadn’t entirely matured – said there’s “never a dull moment” with the 60-year-old singer.
