Random Thoughts by Pam

So my friend Amanda has been working hard to make things to sell and I’m here to support her! SHe makes pillowcase dresses and aprons and she also makes these beach bags! She sells them for $15 each and they are huge! They are made from a large beach towel sew up the sides with a strap attached. I had to snap a photo and spread the word as they are awesome! If you’re interested in purchasing one, please leave a comment and I’ll pass the information along!

I have one and I’m always looking for cellphone accessories to go with it. They just make your phone fun! I know that I have fun looking for them, but I can’t always afford them. But I’m excited that I found a place online that has cool accessories and they aren’t too expensive! This pink case (well, pink isn’t me, but I have friends who love pink!) is only $10. $10!! Cool! It’s a must buy for sure.

Are you looking for something for your cell phone? Whether you have a Nokia, Blackberry, iPhone or whatever, they have something just for you! Check them out!

I’ve been making bags like there’s no tomorrow! I have fun making them and giving them away. But I’ve started making several to sell and yikes, I haven’t taken pictures of those yet! But I wanted to post a link to all my bags, at least all the ones I could find pictures of. Enjoy!

I remember a couple of summers ago receiving a table from Richard’s grandparents for our dining room, but it didn’t come with any chairs. So I spent a lot of time looking and searching for chairs. I ended up at a bunch of different places all over town, but man, it would have been easier just to sit at my computer and look through all the amazing dining chairs that Spacify.com. They have a huge selection of chairs to choose from of all spaces and sizes. Made it lots easier to find what you need when they have everything! Check them out today!

Since I love my DH so much, I actually went outside Friday night during a wonderful lightning storm and took video for him for his website. He will be posting the video soon on his site, but he took this frame from one of the videos I took of the lightning. This is one that I took, I was so happy to catch a lot of lightning on video and this shot is awesome! Just had to share!

We had an uneventful Sunday, but I thought I’d post something. We had a really good time at church, then Richard had invited his squad over for a BBQ and only one person showed up! Good thing we didn’t overcook! But it was a nice time. We played Rock Band and then watched Star Trek: Generations and then headed to bed. That was our Sunday in a nutshell! The kids are out of school for the summer so lots of fun to be had!

So I figured I needed to just write something even if it’s just stuff! I don’t get on here enough, time flies during the day that I don’t have much time to get to everything I need to do. But I thought I’d write. I made Chinese for dinner tonight. Takes me about an hour and a half to make everything for the family. I made Shrimp Lo Mein, chicken fried rice, beef fried rice and sweet and sour chicken/beef/shrimp. It’s fun to make Chinese, but it takes so long! Mainly because I only have a few burners to use, if I had more, it’d be done all at once! But it’s fun to make and I had Deanna help me in the kitchen. I want her to learn to cook! She likes helping which is good.

This is the last week of school, so lots of things going on there. Parties are Wednesday and Thursday, today was a field trip to Maymont with the third graders. So Friday will be it! Wow, this year flew by! I can’t believe it! Next year I’ll have a fourth grader, a second grader and a preschooler! Geez! They grow up too fast!

We’ve been busy with end of the year things and I’ll get some things posted later in the week. Need to get some sleep! TTFN!

Most of us don’t think much about security around our house. I mean, well, we all have locks on our doors and windows, but what else do you use to protect yourself in your home? I have one of those large MagLite flashlights beside my bed just in case someone makes it all the way up there or if I hear something downstairs, I grab that for protection. But what about security in other ways? Like alarm systems?

I was looking online and found a fairly decent price for a three entry point system from Protect America. It costs roughly $30 a month and since we only have three entry points downstairs, that would work! They have several other packages to choose from depending on your needs. I like that they have a wireless security system which gets rid of most of the mess that comes with other systems. If you’re like me, I hate wires so I’m glad that people have figured out how to make things wireless!

Also, if you check out Protect America’s website and mention this toll free number, 877-470-2751, you get 2 keychain remotes with their order at no charge! That’s an awesome deal. I know that those are neat to have so when you are leaving your house, you can arm it easily! So if you have a free minute, head over there and check them out!
