Lifes Like That

As you all know, we are almost done our renovations on our current home. In about a month’s time we will be putting it on the market and hopefully it will sell quite quickly. We have replace a lot in this home with the hopes that the new renovated look will entice buyers to buy. The final room we need to finish would be our daughter’s bedroom. We have the room painted and the floors done so all we need to do is to purchase her some new furniture. When we move, all this new furniture will be going with us, but it will make her room look nicer to buyers when they see new furniture in the room. Our first purchase will be a new mattress and then we will be purchasing a new dresser and night stand. It’s getting down to crunch time and I am definitely starting to get excited.

I have a very strange hobby. When I get bored I have a tendency to spend a bit of time on different real estate sites. I love to look at different areas all around the globe and compare the different prices of their houses and real estate properties to my local areas. One area that I have discovered that has similar prices to my area is in the real estate Branson location. If I lived close to that area I would be able to purchase property that is quite similar to the property that is available in my area. This is good to know if I ever decide to move to Branson.

I’m not kidding. What an ordeal I just went through and I have to tell you that the customer service over at Bluehost was amazing. First of all I got this bright idea to transfer this domain from 1and1 to Bluehost. This morning I woke up to find that my site was not accessible (again. Yeah, I just went through this last week. lol). When I contacted them through a ticket they informed me that some of the files in my word-press were missing. So they told me to re-install it. I tried and major screwed up! So, I called them. And, they walked me through the whole entire process step by step.

Then they informed me that I needed to to have a back up of my old site so I could keep all my hard work. We are talking about over a year of posting so that’s a lot of work. Well, guess what, no back-up!! I was almost in tears. So the tech support person on the other end of the phone line helped me to retrieve my files and helped me back this up. If it was not for him, I would have lost everything. He went above and beyond which he did not have to do.

So, if your looking for a new host then I HIGHLY suggest Bluehost. I’m not kidding. For a computer “dummy” like myself, they are the only host to go with.

I have been with Entrecard on this site for a little over a month now. I have started to see some nice traffic growth in the past month and it is due largely to these top droppers who drop by this site on a regular basis. So, this is post is just my little way of saying thank you to the top droppers for the past week. So, if your on my list, then thank you very much for your continued visits, and if your not on the list and want to be, all you need to do is drop!

Thanks guys! I really appreciate your continued drops!

We are in the middle of a long weekend and the kids have an even longer weekend than was originally planned as they were home from school on Thursday as well. It’s only Saturday and we still have Sunday and Monday to get through, and I don’t know if I’m going to make it. There has been a lot of fighting this weekend and if it keeps up, I think I’m going to run away to some Branson cabins for a little alone time. Having two young kids at home can sometimes be a little stressful and it’s days like this when I know I would appreciate a little alone time just to save my sanity.

Well I’ve finally got off my backside and started my quilting again. I really do need to get this quilting done as the work I’m suppose to complete is for a lady that wants three quilts by this Christmas. You would think that knowing this project is going to make me some money, that I would be quickly pumping out these quilts, but no, that isn’t the way it’s working out. But I have convinced myself that this work needs to be completed. So I have hauled out my sewing machine, safety cutters, and all the fabric and I am good to go.

Well it’s been a little over two years since I bought my first laptop and tried to find ways of earning a little extra income online.  It’s been a struggle to say the least as I have found that there are a lot scams and scammers out there who are going to try to take your money.

I have pretty much tried everything on the Internet and have to say that there are only a couple of ways to earn income  that I have found that have been worth my time and have costed me no money up front.  The two avenues of income that I am talking about is paid blogging and freelance writing of articles.  Any other program that I tried usually ended up costing me money or a waste of valuable time.

If you’ve found success with any other avenue of earning income online, I would love to hear from you.

Years ago when I first went to apply for my first credit card, I really wish I had of known about this site over at the Credit Card Advice Center. Finding this site would have saved me a lot of time and frustration. Because their are so many credit cards available now, all promising different rewards, trying to decided which is the best card for you can be an extremely frustrating process.

That’s why it’s so great that there are sites out there like this one that will help us in our decision making process. While browsing this site, I discovered that they offering a wide variety and help with regards to different types of credit cards, their repayment structures and any rewards that they may offer. They also give you advice on how to help you eliminate any credit card debt that you may be carrying. You can find pretty much an information from this site that you would need regarding any aspects of credit cards. So, the next time your in need of obtaining a new credit card, why not drop by this site and let hn gep you in your decision making process.

I would have to say that if anyone walked into my house this past weekend, they would have gotten a major kick out of watching the two younger children.  Both of them were playing games on the Internet on two different laptops.  My son was playing on my old laptop and my daughter was playing on my husband’s.  Because my husband bought me a brand new laptop, we had one unit left over for the kids to share.  But, kids will be kids and a little fighting did ensue over who gets to play it next.  So my husband gave up his so that they could both play on it  at the same time.  Well I have to say that the is trick did work and the fighting stopped.  He did have to explain to them that his laptop was just a loner and soon they would have to share their own.  But it sure did look funny!

I’m extremely amazed at how much weight my father in law has been able to take off and keep off. Although he is nearing 70, maintaining a healthy weight has always been important to him. He has used weight loss pills, exercise equipment and has changed his diet. It is difficult enough for a person to lose the weight, but to be able to keep it off as well is a major accomplishment. And, now that spring is almost here, he will be able to continue his exercises outside. He is extremely pleased with himself and I can see that he has the determination to keep the extra pounds off.
