I have always loved hearing the drum. I wish that I could have learned how to play the drums when I was younger, heck I couldn’t get past the first year of piano lessons. YouTube is a great source of entertainment and I found this video that I thought was cool enough to share here showing a young dude playing the drums on his (or his mother’s) pots and pans.
I’ve been spending some time online looking for Diaper Bags and Changing Tables. We are holding a surprise baby shower for a co worker and I have been put in charge of finding the perfect gift from 3 of us that want to go in together and get her something decent but affordable that we can pitch in together and purchase for her.
She doesn’t really need any Nursery or Furniture items, so that is a plus, we couldn’t afford anything like that but there are plenty of Babies and Toddlers items that we could pool our money together to get for her. This is her second child so she does have plenty of items left over from the first one, which is a good thing. Babies are expensive and it adds up real quick like.
Since she doesn’t plan on Nursing and Feeding the baby from her god given breasts there are bottle items to consider, but those don’t cost much and I’m sure she will be getting a variety of those types of products from a variety of sources.
Planning a surprise baby shower isn’t easy, but I think that we can pull it off. It will be fun and I look forward to seeing the look on her face when we catch her off guard next month. It’s all good!
Since this up and coming weekend is the official Labor Day long weekend, there will be a good amount of sales going on so I intend to do some early Christmas shopping. I know it is early but Christmas will be here before we know it and I want to be prepared for this year’s holiday and not get hit in my wallet all at once.
I do most of my shopping online these days. It is much easier than going out and dealing with the general public and all the hassles that go along with that hassle. I can find some really sweet deals online, with free shipping that always helps defray some of the costs. And sites that accept Pay Pal are a real plus.
My mother has been dropping hints that she would like to have some new Window Box Planters. So I have been doing some research on the Internet to find the perfect Window Box Planter for her. She has always had a green thumb (I certainly didn’t get any of her green thumb talents) and she has several Decorative Planters around the house but now she wants to be able to get into some nice Outdoor Planters this up and coming planting season.
I was surfing the Internet and ran across a site by Goldline International that I found some interesting reading about some of our precious metals silver and gold. You would have to be living under a rock some where in a very remote location not to know that the prices for gold and silver have been steadily on the rise. Most of us are very familiar with the commercials that are all over the TV these days that are telling us to send them our unused, broken and/or unwanted gold and silver for fast cash. Plus there are kiosks popping up in the malls offering fast cash for these items as well. Too bad I don’t have anything that they would be interested in buying from me.
I do have some nice, clean and pretty old Silver coins that my grandmother left to me when she passed away many years ago, but I would never consider selling them, unless I was really in trouble and needed some cash. I intend on keeping them and passing them down and keeping them in the family for many years to come. I think my grandmother would want it that way.
Our computers and the Internet have come a long way in the last couple of decades. There are so many decisions to make when purchasing a computer, what brand, what system, what type of printer to get, etc…….Then once you get one you have to get it all set up and choose which web site hosting to use. There are tons of web hostings to consider. I personally like the fact that several of these are advertising that they are going green. I think that is just awesome and would like to pass the word around that they are out there in hopes that more people will choose them, since being green is the right thing to do these days.
I found a great web hosting rating and directory site at webhostinggeeks.com. That is were I found the listings of green web hosting. It caught my attention and I’m glad that I explored it and found what I did. They indicate that iPage is 100% wind powered, which is pretty cool, if you ask me. We all need to do all that we can to keep our mother earth is the best shape possible and recycling is just the tip of the ice berg.
