I really hate doing housework but I have to always remind myself of the benefits of it so that I can have a clean house. It works most of the time. But then I also tend to bribe myself by letting myself work on craft projects after I finish all of my cleaning. One thing that I really love to do is crafts and little DIY things to include in my home. They're so much fun!
The latest one that I've done is to make a little DIY jewelry organizer to put on the top of my vanity. I needed it for a while and I was so happy to find a design that I knew would be perfect for me! When I looked online for the jewelry stand idea, I ran across the website http://debtcounseling.bankrupt.com/ and after I looked through it a little bit I decided to consult the services some to see what my options were to fix my finances.
I'm really quite impressed with all of the work that I did with this jewelry stand. I took an antique tiny birdcage that I can and converted it to something that looked a lot nicer and also is a great home for all of my pairs of earrings now.

WATCHING THE ARTIST
Contribution by Stevie Kirby
I had so much fun on Sunday watching the Oscars on my Satellite TV. Unfortunately, I had not seen half of the movies that were up for awards though! I was really surprised that the “Artist” racked up so many awards. I guess I haven’t seen it, and wish that I had seen it before it won all of the awards, but I am definitely planning on watching it soon! I heard that it was the first time since 1934 that a silent film has won best picture. That is a really long time! I just couldn’t believe that it had been that long! It is also the biggest award for a “foreign” film in categories outside the “foreign film” award group. “The Artisit” is a French movie. I have invited my friends to get together this weekend to watch it. I have already started making some very “French” pastries and desserts to be served. Of course, we are going to drink some good red wine! I will get a couple of good bottles, but I can guess that the rest of the evening we will be drinking box wine!

Fox News obsession
Guest post written by Jeramy Sparks
Since we got expertsatellite.com, the only thing my husband wants to watch is the Fox News channel. I don’t even know how he got so hooked on watching that channel. I understand that it keeps him informed about things that are happening in the world, and it does seem to lean toward the more conservative side with most issues they are covering. But, how much of all that can one person watch? I absolutely prefer to watch much more important things like The Bachelor, Gray’s Anatomy, Private Practice, and even those repeat shows of the Kardashians. I know it is good to keep up with the economy crisis and what everyone plans to do about all that, but don’t you want to get away from all of that sometimes. I would rather watch something that is going to make me forget about all the troubles of the world for an hour or two so I can go to sleep and dream about something lighter that doesn’t have anything to do with a recession. I am going to have to work on my husband to get him interested in other topics. It cannot be good for your health to think about all that all of the time.

Dad Suggested
Thanks for the guest post by Esteban Vinson
My dad suggested we get Hughes Net Internet for the new house because I had been complaining about how isolated I felt way out here in the country. I don’t know that I was ever cut out to be a farmer’s wife but at the end of the day when you marry someone you marry their hopes and dreams, too, and Chris had always dreamed of having his own cheese making operation. I’m getting used to all the strange smells and noises out here but the goats still freak me out – it’s hard being so far away from the conveniences of town like restaurants and shopping and mail that comes every day and to your house. I mean, I guess I just never imagined that at 30 years old I would be living in the middle of nowhere running a farm like this one but it’s all part of life, you know? You can’t predict where things are going to take you and I guess this is as good an adventure as any other I could imagine!

New In Town
Author: Theresa Guerrero
A girl that I work with just recently moved her from California. I was talking to her about all the adjustments she is having to make. She said that she has adjusted pretty well so far and that she has most of her stuff moved in as set up. One of the things she did have set up was her tv. She was not sure which company to use. I told her to go to http://www.cannonsatellite.com/ to research what is available. I told her that she can compare prices and packages to find what would be best for her. I know that it is probably hard moving across the country without knowing anyone. I am trying to help her adjust as much as a I can and she seems to be really grateful for my help. Apparently she is not used to people being so friendly and willing to help. I just know that if I were new in town, I would want someone to reach out and help me. Letting her know what her options for tv packages is just a simple way I can help.

Soccer pro
Guest written by our friend Mason Abbott
A year ago one of my best friends was drafted into the MLS. He and I played soccer together in high school. We both went on to play in college as well. He played at a major university, and I played at a small college. Even though we went to different schools, we remained close. I was a groomsman in his wedding two years ago. When he was drafted by Major League Soccer, I hoped to watch him play. However, he now lives across the country, and I live in a rural area in the southeast. Because of our location, we were having great difficult with our internet service. I looked into satellite internet at www.satellitestarinternet.com. I have been much happier with this service, and I am now able to follow him through the team’s website. We also talk on the phone every two to three weeks. I always dreamed of playing professional soccer, but I did not have the talent to realize that dream. However, it is pretty awesome to see a teammate and close friend live out his dream in the professional ranks. I know it is tremendously taxing physically and mentally at the professional level, but his hard work and dedication to the sport has finally paid off.
