White Russians

Funny how some mixed drinks and even sodas come into favor or fall out of favor over the years.

When I was a kid we drank Pepsi and 7-Up when we were allowed to have sodas. But for casual drinking we were supposed to drink from the pitcher of flavored Kool Aid that our mother would keep in the refrigerator.

When I was just getting out of school, the drink of the day was either a White Russian or a Cuba Libre. And the popularity of ordering trays of shots was just beginning. This was also the beginning of wine coolers.

Now people seem to be infatuated with Cosmopolitans and lots of designer vodkas. Personally, I still like my Pepsi.

Remodeling the kitchen has been on my to do list for some time now and I think that the time has come for me to seriously get on board with this task. I am pretty good with tools and the like but I think that I would be much better off to find the perfect kitchen remodeling raleigh area company to come in and do the job and get it done right. It isn’t a huge project but big enough to make me shy away from taking it on all on my own at this point.

When it’s all said and done I’ll be taking and posting pictures here for all to see.

Online Backup is one of the leading online backup and storage for consumers and their small businesses, for Windows and Mac both. And I have used them in the past and I’m glad to know that they are still around and still improving on their enhancements for backup on the good old Macintosh’s that are still out there running strong.

My first computer was a Mac and I always will have place in my heart for those brilliant machines that I was forced into leaving their use, quite a while back, due to the fact that everywhere that I worked and did any kind of business always used the IBM PC, so in order to keep in business I was forced into the PC world and have gotten used to it of course, but I still miss my Mac, she is tucked away in the basement, poor thing was banished from my home office and sent into the bowels of the household, doomed to a lonely existence along with all of the other outdated and un usefull items that have been discarded.

Whether you have a Mac or a PC, you should check out and see it my going to the website of ibackup.com, you could learn a thing or two and they possibly can help with all of your back up needs of today.

Back In Business

If I do finally decide to get back into the flea market business and it works well, I’m going to be looking at buying a van to haul the merchandise to the flea market. My sister has been telling me for many years that she has always wanted me to buy one of the mini vans that were so popular a few years back. But now that all of her children are grown, I’m not so sure a minivan would do the trick for me with my needs for a flea market vehicle. I think that with the family situation the way it is now, I just might be happy with something more like the Toyota Highlander or a Saturn Vue than a mini-van. They both seem like a good family car.

Besides buying a new vehicle I would like to invest in some nice logo mats to use, I think that they would be a nice touch for my customers to stand on while getting my name out. A nice logo canopy to use when outside and in wet weather would be a good choice as well. If I could count on the flea markets inside I would even consider purchasing some trade show carpet, I’ve seen some real nice ones being used out there, but there are no guarentees from what I’ve heard in the flea market business.

Dress Up Games

My 9 year old niece that I have spoken about in the past, has sent me a reply to my last email to her, and she is full of news about all of the things that she is doing and planning on doing this summer while school is out. She is scheduled to attend a cheer leading camp, in the middle of July and then to go to a sleep away camp in the first week of August.

She has a few friends that she has been going to the local pool with and her folks are planning a beach get-a-way long weekend this up and coming 4th of July holiday. So she seems to be keeping busy, it is a drag for some kids that have nothing to do all summer, that is when trouble can start brewing. Busy hands are happy hands, as my mother always says, and there is a lot of truth to that.

One thing that my niece is very good at is the computer, her folks had her up and running on her own PC at the age of two years old and she knows what she is doing when it comes to email, the Internet, several different programs, and she has tons of software full of games and educational ones also that she enjoys.

In her email she was telling me of one of her favorite web-sites that she and her girlfriends just discovered a few weeks ago which is all about GirlSense Fashion Dress Up Games at a site called GirlSense.com. She tells me that it allows her and her friends to go into different boutiques and purchase virtual fashion items of fashion designers and celebrities like MTV’s The Hills, Savy and Mandy, Mudd and numerous others, that I have to tell you I have no idea who most of these are, but she seems thrilled with them.

I have to say that web-sites like these are really a good thing for these girls, it teaches them so many things that will help them later on in life. And I like that there is more and more things coming out for little girls, most video games really are not geared towards them and there has been a push for more girl oriented games to be available to them and it looks like it is working to some degree.
