I know when I first started blogging on my own domain I wish that there were some web hosting tutorials out there. When you are new to web hosting, there is just so much confusing information out there that you have no idea about. I lucked out and picked a good hosting company, but I know several people who didn’t. They still are searching for a good service to use. When you find sites with all the questions you have answered, you know you hit a jackpot. I have several people who I know are looking for cheap hosting and have a ton of questions. I will definitely be sending them over to Web Hosting Articles & Tutorials.
Elizabeth over at Table4Five is giving this really cute little badge out to all her readers. She doesn’t want to forget anybody, so she put this up for anyone who wants it since all her readers rock! I think this is such a cute idea. Make sure if you want one of these for your blog, you head over there.
You know it is that time of the year. After Memorial Day, it seems like all the boats come out. However, there are several tips you really need to think about when you are boating. First, always make sure you have life jackets aboard and that everyone is wearing them. Second, make sure somebody knows where you are. Third, alcohol and boating do not mix. You always see people boating and drinking, and I always feel the need the smack them alongside the head. Do they not realize that drinking while boating is pretty much drinking and driving. It actually has a name — Boating Operating Under the Influence. You would be amazed at how many people don’t realize that (I think they need some Boating Education). Being from Wisconsin where there is no much to do besides drink and watch football, I see this activity occurring more than I like, but this happens everywhere. I know that the Arizona Boating community has this same issue too. It just floors me that nowadays with all the access to information we have (heck, you can get Boating Education Online now), people still are so clueless. Here are a couple of videos you should definitely watch before you go boating this year:
Yes, I repeat: The basement is not going to be done today. Yes, I am freaking out. I am having a 1 year old birthday party in about a week with a ton of people, and there is no way it is going to be done. None. Needless to say, not happy here. Several things happened that were not planned that are causing this to happen. First, we ended up having to move some gas lines. Second, we had to buy a new water heater and have that installed. Lastly, the mudding on the drywall is not drying. We can’t paint until that is dry and there are several coats that need to be applied of that.
At this point, my floor is not even half done. We need to move the furniture back in this weekend, and I don’t even know if that is going to happen. My stomach is in knots. I haven’t smoked in over ten years (I think I said 5 years on twitter last night, but I actually think it’s closer to ten), and I am dying for a cigarette. I’m trying to be good and eat M&Ms to fight the craving, but it’s really not working. The good thing is that Bill took them to work with him. I do know I am not about to take the kids out to go buy a $6 pack of cigarettes no matter how bad the craving is.
I just hope everyone can keep their fingers crossed. I really need the guys to have a good day today, so that maybe we can move the furniture in and just throw it into the corner for now. And I need to not have an ulcer or a coronary before this remodel is over.
