We are going to have update the appliances in our kitchen soon - very soon. Along with those updates, the outlets will need updating as well. I am really considering going with metal switch plate covers this time.
I wish we could just gut the whole darn kitchen and start over! Maybe I should start playing the lottery!

Florida in March
We always drove to Florida and in fact, we even looked into buying an RV and checked out prices regarding rv repairjust in case. However, upon further thought, we decided to just fly on future trips.
Our next trip is in March! My husband and I are going alone - no kids! I know I will miss them but we really need adult time.

Simple Blogging Tip
A friend of mine recently started blogging and asked me to take a look at her blog. She was new to the game and wanted me to tell her what she was doing right and what she was doing wrong. Since I manage a blog about blogging, I felt I should take a look. I have decided to share a few things with you that I felt she could improve on.
She did well, however, one thing I did notice is that when she wanted to link to a website, she linked to the actual URL, however, the best way to link to a site is to use a keyword. This not only prevents the post from looking cluttered, it helps the website that you are linking to, provided your blog has page rank. As an example; the term or keyphrase raleigh business lawyer when hovered over, you will see it is a hyperlink that takes you directly to the website I am talking about.
When indexed, the keyword and the link will help the website you write about. This is called a "backlink" and is very important for beginner bloggers.

Pondering a Pool
I have been tossing the idea around for years now about having a pool put in our back yard. I still have not made a definite decision on the matter yet but I have been doing my research.
I know I will absolutely be investing in solar sun rings for any type of pool I put in. These are passive solar swimming pool heating devices made from two sheets of heavyweight U.V. resistant vinyl. The upper clear layer of the Solar Sun Ring holds insulating air and focuses sunlight on the blue colored lower layer. The blue layer absorbs about 50% of the sunlight and converts it to heat. The balance of the sunlight is allowed to pass through for deep water heating.

Where to Find Love
With the holidays in full swing I have been noticing so many people whining that they wish they had someone to be with during this time of year. I guess the holidays are just that much more special when you have a significant other?
I am lucky - I am married. However, there are tons of free dating online services 'out there' - I just winder how successful these types of sites are?
