When choosing curtains, it's important to consider the overall style of the home and specific needs. For example, curtains can be positioned high above the windows to bring down a look and highlight timber ceilings.

Two Traveling Angels by unknown author
The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion’s guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.
As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel, Clarence, saw a hole in the wall and repaired it.
When the younger angel, Cedric, asked why, Clarence replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife.
After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed
where they could have a good night’s rest.
When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears.
Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.
Cedric was infuriated and asked Clarence, “How could you have let this happen?
The first man had everything, yet you helped him.” – he accused.
“The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem.” – Clarence replied.
“When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall.
Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it.
Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead.
Things aren’t always what they seem.”
Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don’t turn out the way they should.
If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage.
You might not know it until some time later…
Should you find it hard to get to sleep tonight,
remember the homeless family who has no bed to lie in.
Should you find yourself stuck in traffic, don’t despair,
there are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard-of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work,
think of the man who has been out of work for many months struggling to feed his family.
Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror,
think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking, “What is my purpose?”, be thankful,
there are those who didn’t live long enough to get the opportunity.

Say Cheesy!
You could try some cheesy punchlines with the serious intros like as follows:
"Aren’t you getting tired?... because you’ve been running through my mind all day long."
"Do you have a map? because i can get so lost in those eyes of yours."
Any sweet things to say to your girlfriend or wife that can turn her anger to laughter should be your objective. Always remember, you two are partners and not competitors. Women are supposed to be loved as always!
Use this, “Don't worry about it. Nothing that you've ever done before counts. The only thing that matters is that we're together.” It worked for me. Cheese!

What does Uniform mean?
Music is just around the corner
Talking about music, have you heard Avril Lavigne’s Knocking on Heaven’s door? Someone said that she went to a studio to record this song so she could sell it and make money out of it. She used the cash to pay medical bills for poor kids in war-torn third world countries. Such a big heart from a young lady. So if you’re thinking of watching a concert, consider buying Avril Lavigne Tickets, you’ll never know, you might be also contributing to whatever outreach project she has in mind. She deserves it.
One of my wife’s favorites, not only because they have the same date of birth but also because of being a world-known artist is Yanni. Man, he’s so talented, he’s a self-taught pianist, keyboardist, and composer. If you’re looking for Instrumental, New Age, and contemporary classical, he got it all. I think securing Yanni Tickets for both of us is a good surprise treat for my wife.
Also, I’m considering two more great artists of all time, but I can just afford one, if you are to choose to buy between Jimmy Buffett Tickets and Barry Manilow Tickets which are you going to choose? Both of them do pop and soft rock that my wife and I really love. Please help us decide.

Spring has almost Sprung
My budget will just be enough for the outside project, when it comes to the inside of the house my wife always suggests not hiring anyone to save extra money for the utility bills. Even if she doesn’t trust my capability in cleaning the house as she desires, spotless clean, she doesn’t have any choice but to accept my ignorance in cleaning and organizing things, I didn’t go to housekeeping school anyways. She reiterates her instruction for me to watch videos in the internet about do it yourself carpet cleaning when she saw me getting the shampoo for the carpet. I’ll make my TO-DO list so I can manage my time well and make sure to give you updates of what my house will look like after these projects I have in mind.

A Fun Outing!
This weekend, my wife and I go a chance to spend some time outside together. We ran some errands like going to the grocery store and purchasing a new pair of MiracleEar hearing aids. However, we also strolled through the park and went down by the water, too...sure, it was a little chilly, but we were bundled up in preparation! It was just really good to be able to get some fresh air and spend some quality time away from the television and away from our new computers.
While we were out, we ran into another retired couple from the other side of town. We ended up talking it up and before you know, we invited them for coffee. While we have a good number of friends in NYC, we donÕt have a whole lot of retired friends to relate to. I suppose most people move out of the hectic city for their retirement. In any case, itÕs always a real pleasure to catch up with this particular couple because they have so much in common with us!

Who doesn't love cars?
Hitting two birds in one stone as they may say, like being cool in two ways; one by saving earth and two, by driving a hot car at the same time. I’ve heard of this latest Lexus GS 450h that uses turbodiesel which classified it as one of the modern cars nowadays. As I looked at it, turbodiesel offers higher specific power outputs, lower emissions levels, improved efficiency and higher refinement levels. I know there will be something that’s going to come out better than hybrids. This sounds to me saving money because of its low maintenance features.
But if you have a growing family as I do, getting more space in a car is definitely one in your wish list. I’m considering SUV’s and found this mitsubishi outlander. Most SUV’s has big space at the back but some has no real additional seating even just for little kids. For me its back is not really for people but more of a storage space. The outlander, however gives a small third row seat in back, suitable enough for my toddler. I believe this is more “roomy” than other SUVs I saw.
Talking about cars, have you seen the 2011 Super Bowl Audi commercial? That was funny, especially the Kenny G part. Here they prove that Audi was the only getaway from Luxury Prison. Telling people to get out of the traditional mind set of luxury cars. Old luxury is already boring. Look at the new Audi and see how luxury has progressed. As well as the 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe which is really an eye-catcher. Check it out.
Selecting the right car for you is easy when you know what you like and what you need most .

The Joy of the Internet
It's amazing the kinds of things you can find online. It's funny, just the other day I think I ended up going to every site imaginable. I started out at www.homeproimprovement.com because I wanted to do a bit of electronic window-shopping for a new rennovation project my husband and I have going on at the house, and from there I ended up finding my favorite clothing store online (which just happened to be having a huge holiday sale) so I bought a few things there. Then, I thought--hey, I'm sure a ton of other sites have sales going on just for the holiday! I mean Black Friday is over and everything, but this is still crunch time for most retailers. So then I got to perusing and ended up finding almost all of my Christmas presents for the family online! I saved sooo much money, too, with all the free shipping offers and coupons.
Quite frankly, I'm just amazed that it's only early December and I already have the majority of my shopping done. It keeps getting better!

Going Black Friday Shopping With My Husband
Usually my husband hates shopping but there is one particular day of the year even he will get up bright and early, sometimes in the middle of the night, load up in the car with me and hit up all the stores and that is on Black Friday.
We started going shopping together on Black Friday a few years ago when I begged him to go with me promising him lunch at his favorite restaurant as a bit of a bribe. Ever since then he has become hooked. We each have our own favorite stores that we like to check out. I prefer stores like Target, Sears, JC Penney's or Walmart while he likes stores such as Best Buy or Game Stop. While our tastes in shopping may be different it has become a fun tradition we really enjoy doing together.
This year we plan on starting out really early. We plan to get up at 3 a.m., set our home security alarm (Home Alarm Systems pricing), and then hit all our favorite stores. We get to shop for kids this year too since his sister moved to town with her three kids so we plan to see what sort of deals ToysRUs has as well. It will be fun getting to shop for kids for once!
I joked with my husband on Thanksgiving that maybe in a few years we will be shopping for our own kids on Black Friday. He just smiled.

The Basketball Game That Never Happened
I had an interesting experience the other night. The night began like any other night prior playing in my basketball league. I ate dinner at home, set my home security alarm from www.securitychoice.com/home-security-and-safety-facts.html, got in my car and listened to music, and arrived at the gym expecting to play a great game. But that night was different. The other team didn’t show up. At first, the guys on our team were not happy about this. But we came up with a solution, which was to play 31. This is a longer version of 21. It’s every man for themselves. Each basket counts as two points and three-pointers are obviously three points. Once you make a basket, you shoot three foul shots. If you make all three foul shots, you have the ball again. You have to end exactly on 31. Otherwise, you go back to 15. And to make it even more interesting, we made it so that you had to hit a three-pointer at the end. Otherwise, you went back to 15. The game was a lot of fun. Dare I say it, but it was even more fun than playing in a league game. At an extremely high risk of sounding corny and cliché, we had lemons and turned it into lemonade. That is how the saying goes, right? Regardless of how the saying goes, it was pretty cool to turn a negative into a positive. Uh-oh … is that another cliché?

My Best Friend, Sandy
During the course of my life, it has always been rather hard to make a friend, never mind a best friend. However, I did manage to find someone that fits that mold a great number of years ago.
We met when I was in high school and she was in middle school. She was the sister of somebody I knew at school, and for some reason we hit it off better than I did with her older sister. At first, she was a little slow to consider me somebody she wanted to talk to all the time; in fact, she was actually a little hostile, and gave me a few choice words whenever she saw me. Eventually, however, you were unable to tell that there had ever been any tension between us.
We have a lot in common. We enjoy going to local renaissance festivals and wearing costumes for the occasion - it actually makes things more fun when you feel like you are truly a part of that world. We like to go shopping, or even spend an evening at home, watching movies. I do not know what I would do if she was no longer in my life.
Before I make the hour or so long drive to visit her these days, I always make sure to set the home security alarm (ADT home security offers). We do not get to see each other as much as we used to, but I like to think that we will always be close.
