A Coat of Paint Makes It What It 'Aint!

Is your living space looking a bit dull and shallow? Feeling the winter blues but not just from the weather, but also from your place?

As people say, "A COAT OF PAINT MAKES IT WHAT IT 'AINT"...

Go to your local paint shop or hardware store and paint your place.

Make it a fun event! Invite some friends over for a pizza and paint session... Yes, it can be fun!

Try out patterns, try fun and new designs...change your style!

R.I.P- The Home Phone

We are gathered here today to say goodbye to an "Old" friend. We never thought you would leave, and took for granted that you would always be there. GOODBYE

You helped us make plans, record funny messages and you helped us connect with the world. There was a time you were our whole universe, see you are a relic or remnant of some distant and old past.

You once hung on our walls and sat on our computer desks. You sat next to our bed side and alerted us when need be.

Your new fangled cousin (AKA-The Cell) has marched in on your territory and made many forget you existed...

You will not be forgotten!!!

Is it March? Is It December? Is It April? What, It Is February????!?!?! REALLY?

Look outside and take a gander at this weather... When and where are we?
It looks more like October, November, maybe even more like March than gusty ol' February!

Do not fret and frown, this is good is it not!??!

No slips on ice, no crazy morning commutes...

Okay Okay, there has been some "WINTERIFFIC" days, but all in all it has been a tame season!

So if it does snow a bit in the next month or so enjoy the end of the 2011-2012 winter session, but if not don't say I did not warn you!!!

How Was Your Oscar Party?

Did you jazz your place up with styrofoam statuettes spray painted gold? Did you serve ground up meat on a saltine emulating a fancier delight that you would see at a post Oscar ball?

How was your Oscar Party? How did you make your condo, house or rental feel less suburbia or urban and a little more the "Hollywood" you want it to be?

It is a night where everyone can be a "Queen", "King", "Prince" or "Princess" and your home can be like a celebrity?

It is a night of make believe where your house can be more glamorous!

So how did your place shine? How did you make it dazzle?
