Spring is coming

When you start to realize that spring is just around the corner, for some reason it seems to be the time you start looking around the house and realizing that the house needs to be spiffed up just a little. The outside is getting ready to burst with beauty and your home looks like old man winter has whooped its rear end. I guess it comes from having a mother that always had to change something in the house before spring made our house look ‘tired’ as she would put it. She usually went out and bought new artificial flowers but that’s not my thing.

I think my house needs some new window blinds. You know how old and dingy they get after a couple of years and they’re an inexpensive way to really add a new ‘touch’ to the same old room. No need to spend a fortune either if you know the right place to shop for them. I even like window shades for some of my rooms like the bathroom for some odd reason. I don’t know why I want shades in there but maybe it’s because they seem to me like you have more privacy with them but that’s my opinion about it anyway. No one wants anyone to be able to see into their bathroom, now do they?

There are all sorts of window coverings available now from blinds, shades and those pleated shades which I really like. The wide array of colors are just about guaranteed to add that special touch to an otherwise ordinary room. You can color coordinate your blinds or shades to match your couch, bed covering, curtains or what ever you are wanting to accentuate. Luckily as a man, I had a mother that had a good eye for decorating and I guess I got a touch of that from her. Or at least, I like to think that’s where it comes from.

In need of web hosting help?

Bless her sweet little heart but one of my nieces is just one more airhead!!  Don’t get me wrong but I love her dearly and have tried and tried to explain technical stuff to her over and over but that’s what happens, it goes OVER her head.  She was asking me about web site hosting.  I made the mistake of asking her why and after about thirty minutes of blah blah this reason and blah blah that reason, I had to stop her.  What’s the point of listening to stuff you can’t begin to understand when your the one that she came to in the first place.  Know what I’m saying?

Anyway I told her that there was no way possible for me to help her out but I could point her in the right direction so that she could learn a lot more about what she wanted and then learn what she really needed.  They aren’t the same thing all of the time, you know.  If you’re looking for business hosting, then that’s what you should concentrate on and not shop around for other things.  But if you are looking for good ecommerce hosting then just remember you get what you pay for.  I would rather have great ecommerce hosting myself.

The best place I know to find what ever type of hosting you are looking for is on the Internet.  I have my own personal favorite when I’m looking for a great web host and that’s with the geeks.  Personally, I don’t mind being called a geek or going to a geek when I am in need of one.  In fact, they come in awfully handy when you’re trying to explain something to this younger generation that think you don’t know what your talking about.  Send them to a geek and their word is golden to them.  Go figure!

Dinner & a Movie

Since we knew more snow was on the way today, last night I took a gal to dinner and then to the movies. She wanted to see Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief that just came out in the theaters on Friday. We went to the Olive Garden and had a good meal and a few glasses of some good wine before heading to the movies. I had no idea that the movies were going to be so crowded, we ended up having a hard time finding two seats together and ended up having to sit in the second row, which is hard on my eyes and my neck. But it was a good movie, my date was happy and for the most part the evening was a success.

 

 

Golfing at Myrtle Beach This Spring

I do believe that most of us are more than ready for spring. This has been a long hard winter, with more snow in the forecast once again later in the week. We got 3 more inches today which brings the total to well over 50 inches in the last couple of weeks. There is just no more room for any more snow to go. The roads are still a mess and schools have been closed for so long that the kids will need a refresher course when they are finally called back in when the roads are safe enough for the buses in the early a.m.

I looking online for Myrtle Beach Accommodations to get away from all of this nasty cold weather. A good couple of games of golf in the sunshine would be so very refreshing. Going online to find the best Myrtle Beach Accommodation is the way to go, there are deals to be found for online shoppers such as myself. I’ve heard of many great places to stay at Myrtle Beach from many people and there seems to be a lot of golfing going on around the area.

I haven’t been to Myrtle Beach in several years and I’m sure that there has been a few changes since then. I prefer the North Myrtle Beach area but am keeping an open mind and just want to see what is out there these days and I’m sure I’ll find the perfect Myrtle Beach Hotel for what I have in mind, golf wise and beach wise using the Internet and having a bit of patience while researching the whole deal. Wish me luck…….
