Will Be On The Lake This Summer

We finally went ahead and sold our show car. It was a 1963 Chevy Impala that we have had since September. Why? Well the summer is coming and we love being at the lake. I love the water and boating is one of my most favorite things to do in the summer. I am super excited as I thought this was going to be a summer where I was going to be stuck at home. Now there is hope, LOL.

More On Web Hosting

When starting an online business with a website, you are going to need some sort of web hosting for your site. Web hosting is am important part of having a website. If you don't have hosting, you don't have a website. You will want to check out at least a few different options before deciding which web host to go with. You will want to look at prices and what else is offered in the package such like disk space, bandwidth, email, etc. Some of the best web hosting companies will offer a FREE domain with your purchase. The website Top 10 Web Hosting has reviews on some of the top 10 web hosting companies online. On these reviews you will see what is offered as well as the prices to go with the plans. You can also search the site by using their menus that include: unlimited domain hosts, cpanel hosts, ASP hosts, Paypal hosts, FTP hosts and more.

No More Cold Butter

Are you like me and like to use room temperature butter on your toast. It can be quite annoying when you go to spread your butter on your toast and it rips your toast. I like my toast best when my butter is semi-melted, like when you leave it out all day and it makes it very easy to spread. I am one of those picky people though that don't want to use the butter the next day after it being left on the counter for a day. I think "What bugs have landed here". I came across a neat answer to this problem. The answer is the French Butter Bell. Until today, I didn't know such an item existed. This neat gadget keeps your butter up to 30 days without having to put it in the fridge. This is a great way to have the butter on hand you need when making those recipes that call for this type of butter! What a great gift idea huh?

Save Money With Coupons

Saving money is one of my favorite hobbies. I have to admit that I love shopping like most women! That is when I have the extra money to shop. Spending money is fun when you have the money to spend. I do quite a bit of shopping for baby items since I have a 3 month old. While I was pregnant, I went kinda crazy buying lots of baby clothes for a boy. It was my first boy so why not. I do buy toys throughout the year and during the holidays for the older children too! Whether I am looking for clothes, bath and body, kitchen stuff or anything else, I can usually find it online.

Car Show Today

It is amazing how many car shows there really are that take place here in California. It seems like every weekend there are car shows that are local. We just went to one this past Wednesday. Now we went to one that was at a high school in Sacramento. Today's car show proceeds went to the high school it was at. It was sure a hot day though to be sitting on asphalt. Good thing for those portable canopy things. There was a breeze also so it was bearable. We didn't win no trophies this time but that is okay.

Need Ink?

If you have a printer, there will be a time when you need to replace your ink or toner. I know that my ink goes fairly quick when I am printing pictures or other documents that have lots of color in it. I hate when I need to print something and have no ink left! When it comes to buying ink, those little cartridges can be expensive depending on the model of your printer. If you would like to buy your ink online, I suggest bookmarking a site that can help you save money when buying your ink. The site that I am referring to is InkjetDeals.info. It lists various online stores that sell ink cartridges and laser toner at a discounted price. For example, you can find listings for: cheap Epson replacement ink . This could be up to 80% off retail cost. They also list coupon codes and other promotions for the stores that are listed too. This is a great way to try to save as much as you can on your purchase. Too add even more benefits of this site, it has articles with information that can help you on conserving your ink and troubleshooting printer problems.

Yeah, Taxes Are Done!

I am one that always puts off doing my taxes until the last day. I actually dropped off my documents at H&R Block on the 14th and went in to sign on the 15th. This is the first year that I actually owe taxes instead of getting a refund. What a bummer that was. I also paid a arm and a leg for them to prepare my taxes. For years I did my own taxes but once I bought a house and became self employed I just figured I would pay to have them done. After paying almost $500 for tax preparation, I think I am going to do them myself next year!

Are You A De La Hoya Fan?

Are you a boxing fan? If so you will be interested in this! Last year on May 5, 2007 there was a boxing superfight that took place at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. The tickets for this event sold out after only three hours of being on sale. The fight was with six-division world champion Oscar De la Hoya and undefeated four-division champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. This superfight was one of the most lucrative boxing matches to take place brining in over $120 million dollars in revenue. It was hosted on Pay Per View TV and was $55 to watch at home. About 2.4 million people paid for the event which broke the records from 1.99 for the Evander Holyfield and Tyson fight. There was 12 rounds in which Mayweather won by split decision. Guess what? They are now planning a rematch that is going to take place on September 20, 2008. Floyd Mayweathers's WBC Welterweight Championship is now on the line! Oscar De La Hoya may even be backing off from his plans for a fight in May because of this big event.

A Friend Who Will Be Missed Dearly!

I haven't wrote much this past week because a dear friend passed away. A friend who comes over to my house daily to hang out with me and my family. On April 5, 2008 his body was found at a park in Sacramento under a slide. It has been a sad and long week. His family does not have the money for his funeral services so we did a car wash and bake sale fundraiser yesterday. We will be doing the fundraiser again today in hopes to get together money to pay for his services. One of the most sad parts of this situation is his son that he leaves behind, little Josh Jr. Our long time family friend Joshua Allan Lund will be missed by many. I just hope he is up in heaven watching over us to see how much he is already missed.

If you are interested in donating any money to his family his mother has setup an account at Washington Mutual Bank in care of Jodi M. Guerrero. Anything sent even if only $1 is appreciated. If you would rather Paypal something for the family, you can send to my paypal and I will give it to the family. My Paypal is advertising@mommyenterprises.com - His funeral is April 15, 2008 at Mt Vernon in Citrus Heights California.

Moving Soon?

Are you going to be moving soon? From experience I know that moving can be quite a pain. The biggest pain is finding help to get your stuff to your new location. I have decided that it may just be easier to pay a moving service to help move my stuff when it comes time to move. I don't plan on moving anytime soon though because I own my home and don't plan on buying another house for years to come. If you are looking to move, be sure to check out the site Relocation.com.

Baby's First Shots Today

I had to take Christopher to get his first set of shots today. He got three shots in the legs and was crying when they poked him. Before they gave him his shots they gave Hannah a TB test which is needed for preschool. So I had both the little ones screaming in the doctors office at the same time. Luckily the crying didn't last long. I was thinking that Hannah may have cried a little longer since she has been looking for ways for more attention since her brother arrived but she was actually pretty good. She might need some additional shots too which I am dreading. She had 4 shots in February and made a BIG deal about it. The doctor is pulling her records to see if she has any shots that are not listed. What a pain! She wants to go to preschool really bad but I have to have all her shots up to date, a dental exam and the TB test. She is going to be excited once she is enrolled and ready to go!

Hoping For Preschool Soon

My daughter Hannah really wants to go to school. I recently took her to the doctor to get her shots up to date thinking with that I could sign her up for preschool. The preschool is actually at the elementary school my two other daughters attend so it would work out perfect. When I called to get information I found out she needs a dental exam and also a TB test. Well the shots didn't go well, so I am not sure how she is going to take getting pricked again. I told her she needs to get poked again before she can go to school and now she is up for it. I actually had an appointment this morning which I canceled because the dentist cant get her in until the end of next month. What a long wait for a little girl that really wants to go to school. I know that if I took her this morning for her TB shot she would think it was time to go to school tomorrow. What a pain!
