Susie's Notes and Pictures
Because my husband took my out for a surprise lunch this afternoon I was thinking a great way to spoil him would be to get him something really nice from truefitt and hill. They have luxury shaving creams, pre-shaving oil, and cologne.
I know he would really appreciate the line of grooming products for men that truefitt and hill make. He’s always wanted to go to London and now he can have products worthy of London’s gentry. I know this will be a fantastic thank you gift for my husband.
My aunt that lives up in Richmond posted on her Facebook page this afternoon that her home was broken into one of the houses she owns that is on the market to be rented. The burglars broke one of the back windows in the house. There wasn’t really anything to steal and my uncle suspects that they were just looking for a place to squat. My aunt is a complete wreck because she doesn’t know what to do or where to start.
I feel awful for her. I told her I would help her out by doing a search for window replacement richmond va and trying to find a company that will accept her home owners insurance. Hopefully we can get it taken care of quickly and things will go back to normal. I wish I was there to give her a big hug to comfort her through all of this.
Do you use Skype? Video calls on Skype are a great way to keep connected with family and friends that don’t live near you. We love to use it in our home so that relatives can see our children and talk to them. This helps the kids get to know grandparents that live across the country. Then when we see them during the holiday times they don’t seem like complete and total strangers to the kids.
Our kids actually recognize grandma and grandpa and their aunts and uncles. We try to have a Skype call at least every other weekend to stay in touch with the family. We don’t do anything long because the kids don’t have much of an attention span. But, we talk about looking forward to making the Skype call all week and then when it comes time to make the call the kids are excited.
I like to also use Skype to just connect with friends that have moved to different areas of the country. It’s really nice being able to talk to some one face to face even if they are 2000 miles away. I know other people use Skype for business purposes but for now I’m happy with what I’m doing to stay connected with our friends and family.
Pandora is one of my all time favorite sites to go to to listen to music. I usually always have it on in the background of whatever I am doing. I like that I can type in a song, artist, or keyword and it will create a station based just on that. I think it’s wonderful. Of course there are stations you can choose from but I usually just type in something I’d like to listen to and go with that for the day.
I always have about 5 channels on my account. I do remove channels through the year and based on my mood. For example, I’m not quite ready to remove my Christmas music station. I think I might leave it on there until the end of next week and then get serious about putting all of the Christmas stuff away.
Do you use Pandora to listen to music online? If you do, do you have any favorite channels that you like to listen to? Are there any groups or artists that you have found since listening in on Pandora that you didn’t know about before you started using Pandora? I know I’ve come across quite a few artists that I didn’t know about since I started listening to music with Pandora and it’s been a true blessing.
