I’m pretty good at home projects but I’ve had some real problems installing the window blinds we bought recently. I can’t believe I am having this many problems. I ended up buying the blinds at Blinds to go instead of Home Depot or Lowes because it was quite a bit cheaper. I figured this would be fine since I could install them but it ended up turning into a nightmare. I ended up having to find a installation guy out of the phone book to install them for me.

When it was all said and done it cost me $200 dollars more than it would have cost if I just would have done the easy thing and bought them at Home Depot and paid for them to install the blinds. Lesson learned. 

If you are in the business of fixing leaks, you should also make sure that your business model itself has no leaks in it.  In other words, you need your business to run as efficiently as possible, whether you are a small company or a large one.  One way you can do this is through the use of plumbing estimating software. 

When you use a plumbing estimating software program, you will get much more accurate estimates, all within a fraction of the time you would normally spend.  That is why any serious plumbing company of any size should own this type of helpful software.

I went over to my girlfriends parents house that they are building and they were showing me all the high tech stuff that they had built into their house. They had installed multiple electric tankless water heaters. They had heated floors which I thought was pretty cool. The lights automatically turned off when some one was not in the room for a an extended period of time.

Of course all their appliances were all super high energy saving and solar panels had been installed on the roof. I must say it was all very impressive. I can’t wait till I have some money and can make some of these improvements to my old house. One of the first things I need to do is replace the windows though.

Yesterday was by far one of the best days I’ve ever had in my life. First, I was finally able to buy the Hitachi projector lamp I was searching for since a couple of months ago, when the original one got burnt. I already started to think that I’d have to buy a new projector, because I need it very often for my presentations and I can’t afford to rent one each time I’m meeting a client.
The second best thing of yesterday was that, after buying the replacement lamp, I was able to find somebody to install it for me. I’m technically challenged, I need specialists to do pretty much everything for me.
The greatest achievement of all was that I got a phone call from one of my clients, announcing me that he’s going to give me an extremely important, thus expensive job. This comes just in time before the winter holidays. I’ll have the budget to buy cool presents for my whole family and I’m so happy!

A friend of mine introduce me today to the ezzuo news network which is basically just a news blog that give you information on general stuff from around the web and real life. What really caught me about the site is how cool it looks. It’s not just another boring or stuffy news site but it went all around and has a pretty cool design. This seems right because if you think about it you can’t beat a big news network like CNN or MSN by being just like them. You need a unique look and you need be different just to compete. Well ezzuo has certainely done this thanks to their cool design and a personalized comment section, people feel like they get to be part of the story.

Well, it seemed like a catchy title to call this eventful weekend.  If it doesn’t make sense, hopefully you will understand in a second.

I hate people that are in such a hurry that they can’t wait to let you get by before they pull out.  I guess they are in such a hurry to get to that next red light that they have to count on you having brakes on your car to slam them on so you don’t hit them.

Well, this jackass tonight pulled out right in front of me.  I was ticked.  So I pulled up next to him and rolled my window down and “politely” expressed my feelings with his “driving”.  He seemed to respond appropriately to my suggestions on where he could put his ice cream. 

He got so pissed off that when he was waving his hands around and shouting like a moron, he knocked his ice cream cone into the windshield!  I started laughing my ass off, which must have really pissed him off even more.  When he did that, he must have slipped off the brake and hit the car in front of him. 

The light turned green and I drove on, laughing my ass off the whole time down the road. When I finally got my breath and started feeling a little better about the whole thing, I called the cops for the poor sucker.  I guess he will need a accident report for his car insurance and a car cleaning to get the ice cream out of the seat!

Does anyone know if dog GPS tracking system collars are legit? I saw some at the pet store the other day and I must say that I’m very interested. I live in an area where cell phone reception is hit or miss so this might leave me out in the cold on this one. I could really see the benefits of having one of these pet GPS tracking devices though. I like to go hiking a lot and it seems like my dog runs off a lot. It would be great to know where she is at all times. I thinking that this will probably not be an option though since I don’t have very good cell reception.

I am feeling frustrated today! I have always hated my eyelashes. They are short, stubby, thin, broken and ugly. My brother has longer, fuller lashes than I do! I don’t like to wear falsies so I have been looking for some sort of natural eyelash growth stimulant if such a thing really exists (and I am starting to doubt it).

Anyway I read somewhere that emu oil is supposed to condition lashes and get them to grow longer. Blah. I have been putting this stuff from this freakish bird on my eyes for weeks and I haven’t seen any difference. I feel so stupid. This must be how bald men feel. Constantly looking for a cure and trying all sorts of useless treatments. I really don’t know what I am going to do.

My best friends husband is a firefighter and we are on a mission! Like most firefighters that we know, he likes to collect firefighting memorabilia. However, he has plenty of helmets and stuff like that.

So, we are trying to figure out something unique to get him this year. While we have been searching around for something special, it’s hard to find anything really nice.

Most of what we are finding so far is the same stuff everyplace sells. He doesn’t drink so getting him mugs or shot glasses is out. We are constantly teasing him that his wardrobe is all blue, so he doesn’t need anymore fire department shirts.

Well, while we were looking around we did find a nice site that has a good selection of firefighter gifts to choose from. There is lots of different things, so if you are looking for something for your firefighter, check out firefightergiftshop.com and see what they have, you might be surprised!
