My mom and dad recently moved and are looking into changing cable companies. They wanted to be able to look at the prices and channels that were offered with satellite tv. My dad wants to make sure to have all the sports channels, movie channels, and the channel that 24 is on. My mom want so have The Food Network and Bravo. They both want to make sure they can watch American Idol and Dancing with the Stars. I told them they should go to www.CannonSatellite.com to find all of the information they need on satellite tv. Now that my parents no longer have children living at home, I guess they have a lot of time to watch tv. I told them that they should take up a hobby that they can do together, but they seem to be perfectly content watching tv together in the evenings. My mom said they she spent too many years giving up the tv to all of her kids and that now she is going to watch whatever she wants, whenever she wants. I guess my parents have earned their tv time.

I like to dress kind of ladylike, but I also love to put in some edge every now and then too. It just balances everything out and keeps me from looking too prim and proper. Besides the edgy stuff probably goes more with my personality anyway. I’m always on the hunt for the next great purse and I’m constantly shopping online for one. Even though I don’t really buy things most of the time when I’m online shopping, I’ve found a couple of really cute purses recently.

The last time I was doinga bit of online shopping, I ran across some info on tv internet bundles. After I looked through it a litlte bit I decided to change over my home service to one of the bundles that was on there.

The one that I did end up buying, I found from Urban Outfitters. I really love their balance of different trends on their purses. I found oen that was a pretty simple silhouette but then it has some leather straps on it that have chains with them. It really was perfect for exactly what I was looking for.

I always knew when I bought my own place that I would turn one room of into the sports room of my dreams. Luckily my wife is super cool and almost as into football as I am so when it came time for us to convert the attic last year she suggested we turn it into my very own home bar. I love that woman! Anyway, I got all the accoutrements… a giant dart board for the wall and tons of signs and sports memorabilia and I even went to DIRECTSTARTV.com and got satellite so I could have all my buddies over no matter what game was on. It’s finally come together and I’m happy to say that room’s here I spend about half of my time in the fall but my wife doesn’t mind one bit – she’s up there with me cheering too! It’s nice not having to go to someone else’s house or go out to a bar every time we want to get together and I highly recommend it as a party space.
