Hide A Computer

Admin — Sat, 05 May 2012 03:37:26 +0000

My mom was recently in the hospital getting her hip replaced so I got to see a new wing of the place. Usually I just see the OB ward – I think you can figure out why. They have these really cool hide-a-computer closets. (You can see some at Howard-Medical.com computer cabinet.) But I think they would be a great way to tuck a computer away at home. Especially if you have limited space and have to have your living room or bedroom double as your office space.

Not Really a Sacrifice

If I had my way, my interior would include a water feature like wall fountains. As long as I only hear the sound of the water falling and not the sound of the motor humming, I think it would be very relaxing. They come in a lot of different designs that I like so I imagine that picking my favorite might be difficult but I’m willing to make that sacrifice.

Comfort for the Home?

If I had known how affordable church chairs are, I would have bought some as furniture long ago. Granted the prices I see are for 100 chairs, but maybe I can just buy them anyway and try to convince people that these would look good in their houses, too. They’re comfortable AND affordable (in large quantities).

Off to see how much they cost individually.

Shades

I’ve been looking for a nice way to cover up my windows. I can’t stand blinds – the dust drives me mad. For the first 10 years that they’re up, I just let the dust gather and then I cave and try to get it off. All that does is leave me with a bunch of black spots all over them. Why, oh why are these things almost always white?

When I finally get the redecorating money together that I’ll need, I’m considering Bamboo shades. They don’t look like I can break them as easily as I do my vertical blinds and they look a lot prettier when pulled up than my horizontal blinds do. And the color will hide any dust that might collect. Wins all around!

Pool Side

I’m pretty sure that when you want to get REALLY comfortable out by the pool, you need a zero gravity recliner. It would be a great way to lay out and soak up the sun (using the appropriate SPF sunscreen of course) and also a great way to just sit and read a book. Look for one that has the extras that you want like a drink holder or a sunscreen.

Pumps

No I’m not talking about shoes, although that could be nice. I’m talking about the kind o fpump that moves things from one place to the other. Pretty much always liquids. You know what these things are. I might be in the market for goulds pumps soon because I need to drain my pool and I don’t think I’ll be able to siphon that all off with just a hose in a reasonable amount of time.

Wonderful

Will the wonderful uses for the internet never end. Aside from the fact that I cannot find Michigan Cherries anywhere on it, you can pretty much get whatever you want or need here. Kaufmann fabrics are on the internet. I didn’t even realize until recently that you could get brand name fabrics, let alone that you can get them on the internet!

No Snow Raccoon Eyes

This might be more appropriate for Europe right now, what with their record snow. Or perhaps Alaska since they are also getting shockingly huige amounts of snow. But just in case you find your self on the slopes doing a little snowboarding, make sure you have snowboarding goggles. They help your eyes from tiring which means you’ll be able to spend more time in the powder.

Just make sure you wear some kind of protection for your exposed skin so that you don’t end up with those crazy raccoon eyes. Yikes!

Telephone Book?

If you are looking for carpet cleaners Durham NC People, you know that using the phone book is practically useless nowadays. Do they even make those anymore? Actually I know they do because I found one on my doorstep the other day – in miniature.

Anyway – I would recommend looking on the internet to see what your choices are. Also ask your friends (I know that sounds old fashioned) because they may have had experience with a company and really liked them. On the other hand they may be able to steer you away from a company that didn’t work out so well for them.

Good Luck!

Time to Upgrade

It’s time for me to look into ipod docks again. The one I have spent too many nights by the stove playing music while my husband fried – food that is. It’s been splattered with so much oil, it doesn’t turn off anymore. And tuning in a station is a temporary thing – if you walk by it, the station changes. Don’t get me wrong, this particular dock has been great to me. It’s just time to get a better one. Maybe something oil proof.
