My wife and I have been talking about buying a couple of metal daybeds to put in the guest room so that we could make the guest room multi-functional. My wife has been talking about using that room as a den/office, and having the daybeds would make it look more like an office than a bedroom. I’d like to see if we could just buy one daybed, though, and maybe it could also be a trundle. I think that would be awesome!
Renewing my vows
Contribution by Saul Martin
One of my very best friends is getting married this October. I am really excited for her! Before she went to buy her dress, I started watching some “Say Yes to the Dress” on Bronx Dish Network to get myself in the wedding mood! I love that show and it reminded me of when I went wedding dress shopping. There are so many emotions that come with looking for the perfect gown for your wedding day! Some are happy moments and some are angry moments. I was terrified when I went to look for a wedding gown. I just feel like every time that I go to a store to try and find some thing to wear that I usually end up leaving the store with my hands empty, and feeling depressed because I didn’t find what I was looking for! Wedding dress shopping was actually a lot less stressful than I thought that it was going to be. Wedding dresses actually fit much better than I thought that they would. Maybe one of these days, if my husband and I renew our vows that I will get to go back to Klienfeld’s and find a beautiful gown!
Wish List
Well it seems that the wife has all ready made her wish list up in anticipation of our tax return check this year. She is wanting to find some cream comforter sets to use in our guest room, as well as a daisy bedspread for our daughter’s room. The only thing on her list that I really think she needs is the decorative wall mounted coat racks that we found online a few months back that we just haven’t ordered yet, so when we do get the money in the bank I guess we will go ahead and place the order.
I guess I really need to buckle down and get all the paperwork done and get our taxes filed since we only have a few days left to do it in. I really hate doing our taxes and each year I seem to procrastinate right up to the deadline which really drives the wife crazy. I guess it all stems back to the day when I knew I had to send a check in and didn’t want to part with my money until the very last moment.
Mother’s Day
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!
Teen rated video game
Sandra was telling me that her ten year old son has asked her if he could use his allowance money to buy a video game called Uncharted 3. She asked me if I had ever heard of the game, or played it myself. I told her that I have not played that game before, but heard that it is a Teen rated game, so I would encourage her to steer him in a different direction at this point in time. I know that there are a lot of parents that let their pre-teens play Teen rated games, but I think that it is a mistake.
