Maid of Honor Speech Made at the Last Minute

One of my best friends got married on October 27th and she had asked me to be the Maid of Honor.  I couldn’t pass up the opportunity, we have been best friends forever, and I wanted my speech to be great.
Now this was the first time that I ever had the opportunity to be the […]

Making Homemade Jewelry

I have had a hobby for a number of years now making homemade jewelry.  Even though the pieces I make are made at home, there is no reduction in quality compared to what you would get at a store.  In fact, in some respects, the jewelry I make is better - as I am very […]

Preparing to Change Careers

I have been working at the same job now for over ten years - and I am getting sick of it.  I had originally started this job just after college, but now that I am older I would like a career that is a little more exciting.
With that in mind, I have decided to start […]

Reminiscing Over our Last Anniversary

Last year, my husband and I planned a trip to Quebec for our anniversary.  Rather than using a travel agent, we wanted to completely plan the trip ourselves.  I did a search on Quebec City Hotels and was delighted to see so many great prospects.  As I wanted a full experience, we decided that we […]

Help Planning a Trip to Disney World

We have been considering taking a trip to Disney World and Universal Studios for a long time.  Thing is, we don’t know anyone that has gone there, and I wanted to make sure we would know the best places to go and the best places to stay.
Instead of having the hassle of going to the […]

Nokia 6300 - My Free Cell Phone

I decided this weekend that I have had enough with pay phones.  After the payphone ate over two dollars in quarters, and a few choice words, it was clear what I needed to do - get a cell phone.
Now, it has been a long time since I have looked at mobile phones, so I really […]

Helping to Soup-Up a Mustang

One of my best friends, Bruce, has been an avid Ford Mustang fan for many years.  Recently, he was able to get a hold of a newer 2005 Mustang.  The mileage on the car was a little high and the drive was a little bumpy, so he decided to fix it up a little bit.
Today, […]

Learning About Website Promotion

I have just started out with my own website, so I have decided I should learn how to market my website.  I really had no idea where to begin, but I figured I could find the answers I was looking for on the Internet.
A quick search is all it took to find millions of results […]

Reconditioned Lazy Boy Recliners

One of my hobbies is restoring old furniture and selling it.  One of the most profitable pieces of furniture to restore is a lazy boy recliner.
The reason they are such a lucrative piece of furniture is because they are comfortable and maintain their resale value.  I buy the chairs at pawn shops and thrift stores.  […]

Lighting Up Our Home

The light fixtures in our home seem to have come straight out of the 1980s.  They are old and ugly - it is time to change the look of our home.
Just like our old bathroom, I have been nagging my husband for a long time to take me to the store to get new light […]
