Seems that my mailbox received its’ last piece of mail. We have had a plastic mailbox on the side of our home for a number of years and it has worked great. Thing is, we were not counting on the elements getting to it.
The other day, I went outside to check the mail and it […]
It pays to invest in a good mattress, as you spend almost a third of your life sleeping. We bought our mattress a little more than eight years ago, and it is time to replace it.
I am married now, so I share the bed with my wife. My biggest problem with getting a good sleep […]
We have three computers in our house and I thought it was time to setup a home network. Up to this point, we have only had one computer hooked up to the Internet, but my wife and son have been nagging me to hook theirs up as well.
Conveniently for us, all the computers are all […]
Well, it is official - I have gained weight over the past three months. When I checked my weight on the scale at home, I couldn’t believe that I gained 25 pounds in the past three months, so I needed to double check. While at a friend’s house yesterday, I stood on their scale and […]
Well, it is time that we do something about our bedroom. You see, we have had the same dresser, bed, and bed frame for too many years - I think it has been almost ten years.

In the […]
We have a gas fire pit in our back yard that we spend time sitting around in the summer. For the longest time we have had fake logs in there to give it an atmosphere of a real wood fire.
But I have been getting tired of the fake logs. Even though it may look like […]
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. […]
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 […]
I have been procrastinating for the past week and a half to clean my house. Not that it is really dirty, rather it just needs some tidying. Since I had today off, I decided that perhaps this would be the day to do it. Not like I had anything better to do… or so I […]
