Getting Ready

Christmas is coming up quickly and I must admit that I am not quite prepared for it. Since I have the weekend off from work, I thought it would be a good idea to get some of my shopping done. I started looking around online for some gift ideas when I came across a site called thestainlesssteelstore.com. They had a wide selection of products that I thought would make great presents.

One of the first things I saw reminded me of my uncle Joe. He can be a bit particular and is fussy about what products he brings into his house. When I saw the blomus stainless steel fireplace set, I knew I had a quality product that he would enjoy. I felt pretty secure in the knowledge that he would accept this gift and actually use it.

There were other products I saw that caught my eye. The first was the blomus stainless steel teaset and the other was the blomus stainless steel firepit. Both of these products gave me great gift ideas and I knew just who would get what. It’s good that I have gotten all my shopping done this weekend. I can relax from now until Christmas and know that the people I love will be happy with their gifts. I hope everyone else is as prepared for Christmas as I am.

Marriage

One thing that has been in the news a lot lately is the long awaited marriage of Chelsea Clinton to marc Mezvinksy. The couple will be wed on July 31. The tabloids have been having a field day trying to make the wedding into a major event. I am sure the coverage of the wedding will be thorough and exhausting.

I wish the newlyweds all the best in their new life together. I hope they can be happy and avoid a lot of unnecessary coverage from snooping news reporters.

Happy April Fools’ Day!

This has to be one of the greatest holidays that man has ever thought up. The ability to play tricks on people and not have any repercussions for doing so is very enticing. I always look forward to this day and hope to have another good day of trick playing this year. I have been combing the internet for more trick ideas to play on my friends.

I have found a few tricks that I am sure will work. I am sorry that I cannot tell you about them right now, but I don’t want to tip anyone off as to what’s coming. I sure I’ll write another post and let you know about how the day turns out!

The Right Gift

One of the hardest things to do is to find the perfect gift. Whenever it’s my wife’s birthday, I usually struggle to find just the right thing. Luckily, this year will be different. I found a site called shopwiki.com that has many items I know she would be interested in. Since my wife loves clothes and keeps up with the latest Womens Fashion Trends, I thought I would try to find something along those lines.

The big problem for me is that I don’t really keep up with the times. I have no idea who are the leaders as far as Womens Clothing Designers. I did do some research on the subject and now have at least a basic idea of what I’m looking for. I am really hoping to get her something special this year and so I am going all out.

Another factor I am taking into consideration is the environment. I know my wife would approve and so I am looking for something in the Eco Fashion line. I feel good knowing that my shopping habits will contribute to the well being of our earth. I am sure my wife will feel that way too. In the end, I think I have found the perfect gift. I just hope my wife will agree with my assessment.

Looking Forward

The cold weather this winter is really getting on my nerves. While it’s true that there are many good things about winter, there also comes a time when I am ready for it to be over. That’s why I have started looking forward to summer, and even more specifically a vacation! Since it’s never too early to start planning a vacation, I was looking at the different Myrtle Beach Accommodations that can be found online. I thought I would get a head start on finding the right place.

One of my passions is playing golf. No matter where I go, proximity to local golf courses is a consideration for me. Lucky for me, I knew that by reserving a suite at a Myrtle Beach Hotel, I would have access to numerous golf courses. I guess my only problem with that will be choosing which course to play!

The whole thing has gotten me excited about this year’s vacation. I am looking forward to a few days on the beach with my family. The kids can’t wait to go either; they know they will have the time of their lives. I also know that by having a Myrtle Beach Accommodation, I will just about be guaranteed a good time. I hope the winter will end soon so that we can go!

The Holiday Season

This has been a wonderful holiday season for my family. We had a great big ham dinner with all the trimmings and quite a houseful of people. Anyone who could not make the trip to our house called in instead and talked with everyone there. It was a great time for all. The only bad part is the mess of dishes that were left behind. I guess we’ll soon have them cleaned up and be back to normal!

The Macy’s Parade

One thing we have to look forward to every year is the Macy’s parade. Watching all the floats go by is always fun for me as I like to be reminded of the many characters that have taken a place in our lives. I also like to hear the marching bands that fill the air with their joyous music.

One thing that will be different this year is the fact that the parade route will change. Instead of going down the main street of Broadway, the parade will take a more circular route that will end at the flagship Macy’s store at Herald Square. I hope the balloon handlers and marching bands will be able to negotiate the new route. If not, it may be fun to see what happens.

Good Deals Online

Since I spend a lot of time online, I run across many deals that are very good. One deal I was looking at recently was for a Myrtle Beach Resort that seemed too good to be true. I had to admit that the rates I was able to get were very good and well worth the little bit of effort I put in. It was so easy I could hardly believe it.

It seems that there are a number of Myrtle Beach Resorts that have openings. It’s hard to believe when you consider the fact that it’s such a special place to visit. The place is always hopping with action as the many attractions are always open. There is something for everyone in the family. I like to play golf and they have numerous courses to play. Shopping is always another option to consider, my wife enjoys spending her time browsing through the many stores that are there.

Another benefit of Myrtle Beach Hotels is the options that are available for kids. They can spend their time walking up and down the beach as well as playing in the water. The kids love spending time in the sun and playing with their friends. All in all, this is a great deal and I always look forward to going!

My favorite places

My family is always on the lookout for new places to go. We love to travel and do so whenever we can. After talking it over with the kids, we all decided that we wanted to visit one of the Myrtle Beach Resorts that a friend of mine had told us about. He spoke about the beach, shopping, and other activities to do there and we wanted to try it out. The kids were especially excited about going.

My wife and I like to golf. We wanted to try out some new courses that we hadn’t played before and there are many courses in that area. Whenever you visit a Myrtle Beach Resort, you can count on the fact that you will have plenty to do. The kids were much more interested in visiting the beach. They love the water and like to play along the shore building their sandcastles.

The best part about the whole deal is that it’s a wonderful place to getaway to. No matter which of the many Myrtle Beach Hotels you visit, you can always count on the best service and accommodations. We enjoyed our visit there so much that we are planning another trip next year. I’ll have to thank my friend for informing us about this wonderful place, he certainly helped us enjoy our summer!

Catfish Day!!

By order of the president of the United States, Today marks another celebration of National Catfish Day. Proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan and confirmed by the congress with a Joint Resolution, people around the world celebrate the benefits of farm grown catfish.

I must say that there are many recipes for catfish eating and the only one I’ve found that I like is the Cajun Catfish recipe. The spicier the better I say and that’s my final word!
