Seen any wedding invitations lately?
For those of you that are married, how did you decide what you wanted for wedding invitations? When I got married, my parents made our invitations because none of us had any money. There are a number of things I don’t exactly get about formal wedding invitations, one of them being that little white piece [...]
Never a bridesmaid?
We were invited to an out of state wedding recently. While waiting for my other half to come home to discuss if we were going, I realized if it was formal we’d all need something to wear. So I began browsing an online bridal shop. I was surprised to see the extensive selection of products [...]
Sale on some neat fall stuff
I got word of an end of summer sale on some items. I really need some new flags for outside, as all the ones we have have gotten worn and a bit faded, and some even got a little tattered on the end. So off to the website I went. This site had some flags, [...]
I want to redo my bathroom
I keep looking at our original bathroom thinking how much I’d really like to renovate it. The first thing that I see when I walk in there are the old, nasty bathroom fixtures. The tub and shower knobs are the worst because the threading is stripped away over the years and you have to turn the [...]
So much to look at at a trade show
Ever been to a trade show? The first time I ever had the opportunity to go to one was when I worked in mail order computer sales. Now if you’re like me, if you’re at a trade show you’re busy looking at all the stuff. I never really thought about the actual trade show display, [...]
Gimmee promotional stuff!
Anyone who knows me also knows that my Dad is very involved in a national organization. He just went to the annual convention where he was elected as a national officer. I am very proud of him. My parents have always tried to help me, and I help them when possible. Now that my Dad [...]
Need help making your site search engine friendly?
I have just finished reading about a San Antonio SEO company called Apogee Search. They are considered to be one of the best at search engine optimization, something many of us are constantly trying to learn more about. http://www.apogee-search.com/Resources/Glossary/index.php has a great online Search Engine Marketing Glossary which had more terms I didn’t know about than terms I did [...]
Want to be certifiable?
Perhaps you’ve been considering changing jobs. Is not having a particular software certification holding you back? I myself hold several Microsoft certifications. I have taken software training both in a classroom setting and online. There are distinct advantages to online courses. With an online course, you can learn and review at your own pace, without affecting [...]
You gotta love this!
I decided I wanted to blog again, or perhaps I should say more frequently. I started my blog in 2005. For a while I wrote regularly. Some days I was lazy though, and didn’t take a few minutes to write so I ended up with one sentence posts. I should have taken 5 minutes to [...]
The importance of backing up
Ever thought about making an online backup? I was doing a scan of my hard drive with Norton today, which I try to do once a month. I also check if the drive needs to be defragmented every couple of months. Anyway. As I sat watching what files the scan was going through, I realized how [...]
Digital cameras
I have an Olympus D-360L digital camera. It’s old, probably about 5 years old. It still works well, but the quality of the pictures is in line with what you’d expect from an entry level camera of 5 years ago. My son has a Kodak Easyshare C530, courtesy of my parents. I like the quality [...]
Year round savings
In my travels across the web, I came across the Coupon Chief who has lots of online coupons. I love these sites, they have coupons for everythng imaginable. Wouldn’t you know it, I came across some good stuff in there today. Some great Circuit City deals. Hmm, I could use them on stuff I want. [...]
