I hope we renovate our basement soon

by

Yesterday I was invited to enter into a special partnership with a company that calls itself a private online shopping club. I decided to take the company up on it’s offer and join as there seems to be some benefits to me such as big discounts on trendy clothing and high quality furniture if I were interested in buying as well as referral fees.

As I was looking around the site I saw some beautiful leather home theater seating, similar to a few of the sets shown on that page.

It caught my eye because when we get around to finishing our basement I think we might set it up as a home theater. Right now we’ve got our big screen HD TV in the living room, but I have other plans for the joined living room dining room and it’s always been our plan to move the TV downstairs. So why not really do it up and create a beautiful home theater room?

I know our renovation is probably a year or more in the future, but I can’t help trying to plan ahead of time!





I was clueless for a minute or two

by

Earlier I was visiting a friends blog and she was talking about how she and her family had managed to get Miley Cyrus tickets.

I thought that was great as it sounded like something that she and her family could do together but for the life of me I didn’t clue into who Miley Cyrus was until just a moment ago.

She’s Hanna Montana … Billy Ray Cyrus’ daughter.

Since we don’t have kids we don’t keep up with what’s hot in the world of teens. Call me clueless but that’s my excuse!

The Amazing Wine club delivers premium wines each month to members

by

In the last few years my husband and I have really started to enjoy wine. Not that we drink wine all that often, but we’ve developed a new appreciation for it.

I hate to say this, but when we first started seeing each other, if we drank wine, the only wine we’d try were white wines! We just didn’t enjoy red wine. At least we had that in common. It was a good friend and neighbor that opened our eyes and I guess you could say taste buds to the delicacies of a good red wine. It’s possible that we drink more red wine these days than white!

As I said we don’t drink a lot of wine, but I’ve considered joining a Wine club. If we were to join a wine club such as the Amazing Wine Club we’d receive featured wine selections each month.

Each of the featured wines are chosen after being taste tested by professionals. Only the wines that meet the Amazing Wine Club’s highest standards are chosen to be delivered to wine club members. These wines include hard to find and hand crafted wines from leading wine producing regions from all over the world.

Each month members of the Amazing Wine Club will receive two premium bottles of wine. I suppose the best part of the experience of being a member of this kind of club is getting to experience new wines – perhaps ones that you can’t find in your local stores or ones that you wouldn’t have thought to try on your own. Memberships can be purchased for as little as three months up to a year.

If club members really enjoy one of the wines that they’ve been sent they can purchase additional bottles at a club discount.

I’ll have to tell my husband about the Amazing Wine Club and see what he thinks. In the meantime though, a membership to the club might make a great gift for some of the wine lovers that we know.

Cleared to Travel – Our Passports have Arrived

by

Well I’m happy to say that the passports that we were very slow to apply for arrived yesterday. Just as the Passport Canada office said they would!

We filled out our passport paperwork and handed in our applications at the Passport office on October 2nd. They told us that our Passports should be finished and would be mailed out on October 17th. Yesterday, the 18th, my husband was walking to work and he ran into our mailman, a friend, and our mailman gave them to Chris.

Unfortunately this was a mistake on both their parts. Chris didn’t feel good about leaving the passports that we’ll need for our November trip to Las Vegas in his locker at work, nor did he feel secure about leaving them at the nursing station so he gave them to his boss to keep in her locked office.

Uh oh – she left early and our passports were locked in her office!

Hopefully Chris will have remembered to get a hold of our passports today and brings them home! I want to take a good look at them and make sure that there isn’t a mistake on them or that we don’t have to fill out anything else.

I’m really happy that they arrived so fast though. I mean we’re going away the second week of November and I stupidly waiting to get our passports until the beginning of October? Yeah, I’m lucky!

Oh and when we booked our trip we went through a special discount travel club and got a membership. So now that we have our passports I hope we’ll do a lot more traveling. Lets see Vegas in November, maybe the Caribbean in the late winter or early spring and Branson perhaps sometime in early summer? Yeah that sounds good. Who knows, maybe I can even talk Chris into going to Europe next year?

Ah! I’m going to be a Great Aunt!

I recently learned that my oldest niece is going to have a baby! I’m so excited for her.

I was talking with my brother on the phone the other night and he was telling me all about his daughter and how she was doing and then added that his wife was really excited.

Huh? Sounds like my brother is too if you ask me.

We haven’t had a young baby in the family for quite a while. I’m still working on producing one myself … Ha now won’t that be funny if I ever do manage to get pregnant? My great niece or nephew will be older than their 2nd cousin? Sounds like the way I grew up since I was the last of a long line of kids and my parents had me when they were older.

I’ve already been thinking of what to get my niece and new niece or nephew when the baby arrives. Of course some plush animals are a must. Funny, I just remembered that when my niece was born the plush animal that I bought her turned out to be her favorite for many years. I wonder if I can do it again with her child?

The baby is due in February so I have some time to find just the right kind of gifts. Any ideas? I haven’t purchased anything for a new mother and new born for a while. What’s hot right now? Hmmm I wonder if she’d like one of those baby slings … hmmm
