Mother’s Day

Posted on 10th April 2012 in Friends/Family, Internet, Life, Shopping

Mother’s Day is coming, and I have been racking my brain trying to remember where I put the pretty beryl ring that I bought a few months ago to give to my mother. Her name being Beryl, I thought it would be appropriate to give her some jewelry made with it for a gift giving occasion and when I saw it on Ebay a couple of months ago I bid on it and won it. When it arrived I put it in one of those “safe places” that act like black holes. I might have to buy her something else for Mother’s Day this year and give her that ring for her birthday in September if I don’t find it soon!

Vessel Sinks Online

Posted on 9th April 2012 in Friends/Family, Home Improvement, Internet, Opinion

It looks like my sister-in-law has changed her mind once again about how she wants her master bath made over. Part of the Easter dinner conversation was about the do over that is taking place over there, and the beautiful vessel sinks that she found online and now wants to use in their master bath. Most of the talking was done by her while my brother basically nodded his head and smiled on occasion when he felt it was warranted. I feel so bad for him to be stuck in this marriage with a loud mouthed woman who seems to be busy making his life miserable all because they got pregnant and decided to “do the right thing” and get married, for the baby’s sake.

New Bathroom Tiles

Posted on 3rd April 2012 in Home and Garden, Home Improvement, Internet, work

I have to admit that the website MetalStainlessSteelTiles.com has some really nice mosaic metal tiles that would look good as the bathroom back-splashes in my parents master bathroom that they are getting ready to tear apart and completely re do in the very near future. They are having to make that bathroom easier for the two of them to get around in, complete with a new hot tub spa that is handicap accessible for my dad to use to get in and out of with little or no effort.

They want this new bathroom to be easy to keep clean as well. So I believe having this nicely decorative metal tile will help in that area, it is easy to clean and it will help brighten it up as well. I’m sure I’ll be assisting my Dad with some of the work that this will all take, but I don’t mind. I rather enjoy working along side my Dad, we don’t get to spend as much time together as I’d like and we get along famously so I look forward times such as this to hand with him when I can.

Beauty products from the sea

Posted on 20th March 2012 in Business, Friends/Family, Health, Internet, Life, Shopping

One of the things that always amazes me is when I read an article about how there are dangerous chemicals in a lot of the make-up products that people use. For example I read that a lot of brands of lipstick have dangerous levels of lead in them. And yet women still wear their lipstick! My sister was telling me that she has found a bath body website that sells beauty products that are made from natural ingredients and that some of the ingredients come from the sea. Ingredients like seaweed. What will they think of next?

The new timeline

Have you converted your Facebook page to the new timeline yet? I have been resisting the change; I really did not want to bother trying to learn something new AGAIN. Generally speaking I am usually accepting of change, but to be perfectly honest when I was looking at my friend’s pages that had already converted I found the new format to be confusing. To be honest, I still DO think that it is confusing. I suppose I’ll get used to it, but it is definitely going to take a while before I’m comfortable with it. A lot of my friends have been complaining that they don’t like it, but then again several say that they like it just fine; it reminds them of the “MySpace” pages. I never had a MySpace page, I guess that I never felt “self-important” enough to crow about me online. I only signed up for Facebook as a way to keep in touch with several of my friends, since they never seem to send individual emails.
