Updating our house…

 - by Jo

OK,  so whoever did the tile work in our old house, sucked at it!! I mean big time.   And because we are trying to sell our house, I think it needs to be changed.  The grout work is terrible, the tiles aren’t even straight and they cracked some of them when they put them up.  Not that I would do any better, but I know this about myself and would make let someone else do it!! I found some gorgeous glass tiles that I would love to use, but now I’m thinking, maybe not just at the old house, but here at my new house, too!! Wait til I tell my husband!! LOL

Gifting Idea…

 - by Jo

I have a friend who likes “unique” things.  I am always at a loss as to what to get her for her birthday, Christmas, etc.  I find I am always struggling when it come to finding gifts for her.  Only because the more “unique” or unusual gifts are often more expensive, although that isn’t always the case.  You just have to know where to go to find them!!

What to get HIM?!?!?

 - by Jo

What do you get the man you love when he basically has everything?  I don’t mean EVERYTHING, but I think you know what I mean.  I don’t wanna be one of those wives who just gets her hubby what she wants to get.  I want to get him something he would want.  A new tool belt?  A new tool?  A Nascar jacket?  Money towards the camera he wants (cause Lord knows I can’t fork out that kind of dough).  What do you think?

The perfect gift…

 - by Jo

Gifts are wonderful things.  They can be sentimental, carefree, from the heart or just off the cuff.  A gift can say “I love you”, “I like you a lot”,  or  even “I’m sorry”.  There are many reasons why one might by a gift for another.  There are birthdays and holidays, friendships and love affairs, and there are those times when you want to say you are sorry for one reason or another.

So, how does one know what to get and when?  This can be  especially difficult for men.  I know, some men are great “gifters”, but honestly, I think a lot of men could use some help in this department.  For example, in a new relationship, when is a  necklace more appropriate than a ring?  Or a bracelet better than a necklace?

When I’m sorry just isn’t enough, what will be? Maybe this will say it all…

The next time my hubby has to say “I’m sorry” or when he just wants to let me know how much he still loves me, I hope he’ll take the time to check out some “Tips for Guys” from Bella True!!!

Interactive toys or BUST!!

 - by Jo

So, I guess electronics are the in thing right now.  They have these interactive pets called Zhu Zhu pets or some such thing.  Well, I wanted to get one for pumpkin_seed cause she had been wanting a hamster or a guinea pig, but I don’t want the mess.  So I thought these would be perfect!! BUT they are so expensive! I couldn’t believe my eyes.  These things are going for $60 and more….and that doesn’t include all the little toys that they can play with.  Oh well, guess pumpkin_seed will have to wait for hers!!!

How much is too much??

 - by Jo

OK, so my hubby wants to put a light kit on the truck.  you know, like a a bar of lights across the top…. He also wants to put a lift kit on it, big tires, the whole thing.  My question is…and maybe someone can answer this for me, how far is too far or how much is too much when it comes to auto accessories?? He’s talking about doing something to the exhaust so it sounds cool, I mean, really….

decorating 101…

 - by Jo

Friends of ours are re-doing the flooring in their home.  They are taking the carpet out of the main room and putting in hard wood floors.  Hickory, I believe.  Then they are going to use a large area rug in the middle of the room.  I love this idea.  You can accent color and/or design with area rugs.  I would like to do something like that if /when we add on to our little place here at camp!!

Halloween!!

 - by Jo

OK, so how many of you adults dress up for Halloween?? I’m curious to know….  I came across a site that has some really neat adult halloween costumes, along with some nice lingerie!!  My favorite is the Geisha Girl Costume!!!  The Flirty First Mate is kinda cute, too!! OR you could go in a totally different direction and be a Genie or you could really have some fun and play Cowgirls and Indians!  The possibilities are endless!! Have fun!!
