Old Man’s Birthday Approaching

Written by admin on June 29, 2010

You know what I’ve noticed? That my Grandfather and Father are extremely difficult to buy for. They each seem to have one hobby, golf for my grandfather and racing for my father – but that’s it. It’s like the only thing they like to do. So, I always end up buying them respective merchandise for their hobbies but I think I’ve pretty much bought them everything possible when it comes to that kinda junk.

So, yesterday I was thinking about what to get my Dad for his birthday. This past Christmas I got my Grandfather a watch which he just loved. Then I remembered my Dad commenting on the watch, so, I’m thinking why not get him one? He’s got a different taste from my Grandfather, so, I was thinking Dad would prefer the traser h3 watch which I found at Blue Dial. It’s much more of his style.

I think it’ll be a great birthday present for him. He’s always in need of a watch…trust me, I know. He constantly asks me what time/date it is. So, maybe this is as much a present for my sanity than it is for him, huh? haha

Refurbishing Some Lights

I’m looking for some rustic lighting for the kitchen – do any of my readers have any experience with them or have a kitchen of their own that has some? I have some questions for you – drop me an e-mail if you do. Thanks!

Summer Is Here Baby!

Written by admin on June 29, 2010

Though, you couldn’t tell by the ugly skies above. That’s okay though – I’m ready to do my annual amusement part adventure. This year I’ll be starting off with a ride on the Ghost Ship at Morey’s Piers. I’ve never been before, but, I’ve heard about it from friends and seen it on TV – looks freakin awesome. This is by far my favorite part of the year, other than Christmas.

Problems Seeing

Written by admin on June 25, 2010

You know what’s really funny? Back when I was about, oh, 12 or 13 I took my first trip to an eye doctor. Once all was said and done, he told me I had some of the best eyesight he’d ever seen. So, come about twelve years later I go back and come to find out, I have a stigma. It’s nothing major, but, I could sense for a while that sometimes some things far away would blur a bit. Anyway, he wrote me a prescription (he told me I really didn’t need it, per say)…but if I didn’t get it, over time it would just get worse. So anyway, off to the front of the office I went to look for some glasses and frames. Holy cow – I didn’t know they were THAT much money…are you kidding me? Then I remembered my Mother telling me about Zenni and their awesome frames. She had purchased some a while back and just raved about them so, I had to give them a try. I even did a bit of research on my own and came across this great info on their eyeglasses at the Optiboard – made me feel super confident in my choice.

Run For The Hills Continues It’s Message

Written by admin on June 14, 2010

Hundreds of people ran the streets of central Temecula on Sunday: some trying to earn a cash prize, others looking to support local causes, and the rest working to stay healthy and have fun.

The inaugural “Run for the Hills” 5K run/walk fundraiser drew hundreds of participants to Ronald Reagan Sports Park, where families, retirees and avid runners came together to raise money for three local causes, including to preserve open spaces and aid low-income families.

The event was held by Save Our Southwest Hills, a 10-year-old nonprofit dedicated to preserving the hills flanking the west side of Southwest County, from Murrieta to Rainbow.

Glad to see that this event continues to grow and take off, year after year. It’s great for the community.

Fire At Stater Brother’s Grocery Store

Written by admin on June 14, 2010

A two-alarm fire broke out in the deli at a Stater Bros. grocery store Sunday evening, but no injuries were reported, an emergency dispatcher said.

About 7:15 p.m., an alarm company for the store at 3770 Mission Ave. and an employee both reported the fire, a NorthComm dispatcher said.

When firefighters arrived and saw the fire, they requested more trucks for help, the dispatcher said.

The blaze was under control about 7:45 p.m. I actually saw the smoke from my house….which is really odd since I was just over there about 15-20 minutes earlier. I guess I got out in time! lol

Party Go’ers Ziptied – I Kid You Not

Written by admin on June 14, 2010

Several people at a home north of Crest were tied up and attacked with Tasers Sunday night.

The group was at a party at the residence on Sunnybrook Lane off Horsemill Road about 9:15 p.m. when three to five intruders stormed in armed with handguns and the stun guns, sheriff’s Sgt. Jim Walker said.

They bound the victims with zip ties and duct tape and shot some of them with the Tasers as they demanded cash and jewelry, Walker said.

They ransacked the home and stole cash, a computer and other items before driving off in a dark SUV.

Seriously, what in the world? Somebody they must have known, I would assume, but really? REALLY!?

Have You Checked Out Club Penguin?

Written by admin on June 14, 2010

Okay, so the other day I’m surfing the net and I come across Club Penguin. After a little investigating, I’ve come to the conclusion that this place rocks! It’s a really cool, virtual world that’s SAFE for all ages. So I started looking for some additional information/cheats/tips, etc and when I did, I noticed you can get a club penguin membership for free, just by signing up. They’re having a competition ongoing right now as we speak which is giving away memberships – so check it out.

I Love Pods

Written by admin on June 14, 2010

Okay, seriously, you know those moving pods – you see commercials for them on TV all the time, you know, like U-Pack. I just absolutely love the things. I used one before when I moved, but, people don’t realize how handy they are for non-moving situations. Say for example, when I had to have the house sprayed for termites, I just moved all of the items into the pods. It makes life so much easier. And they’re cheap too!! Look at the recent pod rates. You can’t do better than that.

Cousin Thinking About College

Written by admin on June 14, 2010

So, this past weekend we had a get together here at the house, a little early “happy summer” family party. You know, anything to get the folks together to have a good time, right? Anyway, my little cousin was here (well, I say little, she’s a senior in high school lol) and we were talking about school and life in general. I guess sometimes maybe it’s easier to talk to other family members than parents. Anyway, she was talking to me about scholarships, etc…and how difficult it was to get one. And while it might not be the easiest thing in the world, it’s very much obtainable…you just have to go about it the right ways. I told her to check out this link that will point her to easy scholarships and to set up an appointment with her guidance counselor at school. That will get her on the right foot
