With the weather just being so wacky this winter, the past couple of days have been in the high 70′s, there are plenty of people taking advantage of the nice weather to get a good amount of outside projects done that normally don’t get done until spring. And if they aren’t busying doing outside work they are busy having outside fun. Heck my neighbor is just itching to start getting his swimming pool cleaned up and ready for water fun in the sun.

He was looking at swimming pool liners back last summer and but actually purchased a new pool cover so he is excited at the prospect of enjoying all that having a swimming pool in your back yard has to offer. His close friends, family and neighbors are looking forward to it as well, I can tell you that.

I have a feeling that we are going to pay dearly for having such a mild winter by having an extremely hot summer, so having a neighbor with a pool might possibly be one of the ways to help beat the heat that we are in store for real soon here.

Talk about a rush! The paintball war games I participated in last week are so cool! They’ve changed quite a bit over the years since the first time I ever played. We were never that organized nor did we have the advantage today’s gamers have when it comes to paintball equipment. I found this fabulous paintball guns and accessories site and if you’ve ever wanted to try your luck at paintball then this is the perfect place to get your gear for the game!

I’ve decided to go with a complete new outfit myself, and since they offer what I think is the best in paintball guns, as well as other needed name brand paintball related gear, I’ve chosen one of several packages they have to offer, called the tippmann x7 package. It’s a great sniper version package that offers what I’m looking for in a paintball outfit. The best thing of all, besides that they’re the better prices, is that they offer totally FREE shipping! Now you just can’t beat that.

One thing about moving back in with my father when I split up with my husband, was leaving the neighborhood that we had lived in for almost 9 years and all of the friends that we had made there. Our daughter wasn’t happy about leaving her friends that she had made at her school either, which I can certainly understand and sympathize with, even though I try my best to schedule play dates and sleep overs with many of them when I can.

Our next door neighbors were the best neighbors that I have ever had the pleasure of having and knowing. They had an awesome swimming pool in there backyard that we spent a lot of time enjoying during the warm and hot weather months. One thing about using some one else’s pool is that you don’t have to deal with any of the up keep that goes along with a pool. They had to provide the pool filters and pool chemicals and all of the other pool supplies that are necessary to keep a pool safe, clean and fun, while we just got to enjoy all that a pool offers people that love water. I really miss them and their pool.

Have you ever had a tarot reading? Last time we were in New Orleans we came across an older lady on the sidewalk in front of Jackson Square, with a lap table and deck of tarot cards. She only asked $10 for a reading, so I gave it a whirl.The positions of the 9-card life cycle tarot card spread take advantage of the properties of the magic number ‘9.’ That’s what I chose for her reading.

A reading of the 9-card spread provides a view of your past, present, and future at three depths

the body (unconscious)
mind (personality, ego) and
soul (higher power)
It was fun to watch the whole presentation and added some extra magical qualities to our evening in the French Quarter.

One of the greatest things that happened when my husband and I recently moved into our new house is that we switched our television providers. Up until then we’d been cable television subscribers, because that’s what both of our parents had always used. We were looking around at our options for television in the new house and we discovered directstartv.com. We gave them a call, the installation was free, and we are now enjoying tons of television stations, as well as music stations and movie stations. It’s pretty great. We’ve been spending date nights in and ordering movies, and we love to curl up on the couch and watch our shows on DVR. There’s nothing better than getting home after work and knowing you have plenty of time to relax on the couch and watch television. With our DVR, we’re able to record movies from the movie channels too and enjoy a completely free date night. We love it so far, and with the money we’re saving on our monthly subscription plus the money we’ve saved on date nights, we’re planning a pretty phenomenal trip. We’re pretty excited.
