Lots Of Rain Brings Thoughts Of Rain Boots
I have never considered myself a girly girl. I do not change purses every day. I do not own tons of shoes. I only own four pair of shoes – work shoes, sneakers and two pair of summer cork sandals. It’s funny because my Mom always had different shoes for us growing up. Now I [...]

Would you go the distance to get an education?
I am a great believer in continuing education. I wish I had finished college, more for myself than anything. Time and money are an issue for me, as I’m sure they are for many other people. One alternative for folks with a busy schedule is an Online masters. How much more convenient can you get [...]
DEAL ALERT – Wagner Wide Shot Power Painter
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you might know that RB spent some time (about ten years) as a painter. You know what they say about the plunmber’s toilet, right? It’s the same with the painter’s house. It takes forever for me to get something painted. It’s not that I wouldn’t paint [...]

I’ve mentioned it before and it bears mentioning again. We love music in our house. We have music in almost every room in our house, in one form or another – stereos, ipod speakers, portable radios. You just can’t have enough music. When I first got my computer I picked up a cheap pair of [...]
DEAL ALERT – 50 Pack Of Memorex Double Layer DVDs
Computer media has come a long way. I remember when I started in computer sales over a dozen years ago the floppy disk was the only media available. From there the consumer industry moved to zip disks and then CDs. Today more and more people are choosing to store all of their files on DVD. [...]

We’ve had our Wii for a while. It’s the original white one. Appearance wise I much prefer the newer black one. Wii availability has finally loosened up a lot.

DEAL ALERT – Band Hero
We love video games. My son’s favorite games are the music games. He has just about every music game out there. If a new version of Guitar Hero comes out he’s got to have it. He’s really quite amazing at it. He only plays on expert and generally scores 98% or better. If we go [...]
DEAL ALERT – Great Power Gadget For The Traveler
My parents travel all of the time. Both of them almost always have at least one laptop with them when they travel, sometimes two. On the occasions where I travel with them we’ve had three laptops. As you can imagine that could lead to a shortage of electrical outlets in the room. We all use [...]
