My bedroom needs some work, bit time. I haven’t done anything to it since I moved into the place and I’m tired of looking at the same bedroom furniture that I grew up with and was fortunate enough to be able to take it with me when I left home. But that was some time ago and I really need something a bit more my style these days.

I’ve been looking around online lately to get some ideas and have found a really cool looking iron headboard that I’d enjoy owning and could certainly work around it with other items that I come up with. I’ve also found and fell in love with the most beautiful romantic bedding selection by using the useful website of become.com. Isn’t it wonderful?

I even like their selection of the accent pillows that they have used in this shot. Looks like I’m on my way to one nice make over, it’s all good! Maybe when I’m all done with the bedroom I can start working on the bathroom, that needs some work as well, sigh…

With money being so tight I know very well that I am not the only one looking for ways to save my hard earned money in a variety of ways. I’ve contacted my cell phone provider and had my minutes reduced to save a few bucks. I’ve cut back by down sizing my package with my satellite provider and I am now in the process of looking at ways to save some money on my Internet usage.

I’ve seen commercials in the past for Hughes Internet and decided to check out their website to see what they were all about. HughesNet is currently offering 1 month free and a free standard installation, which is a $199 value to be saved right now. There is also an offer for a $100 rebate. I’ve always been curious about having a Satellite Internet versus my current DSL connection and now might be a good time to see if HughesNet Internet would be a good choice for me and my needs.

Cutting back is the right thing to do these days. I hate to think what this holiday season will bring, as far as gift giving goes. Retail lost money last year, except for WalMart of course. I can only imagine how it will fair this year with things showing no signs of improvement for the vast majority of us all.

I’ve heard that the problem of bed bugs are on the rise. I’ve seen numerous stories on the evening news concerning them and have read a lot of articles concerning them as well. Today there was an Orkin truck in front of my neighbors house, come to find out that they are experiencing a bed bug problem and are having to dish out $2000 for Orkin to come into their house and take care of the problem.

Beware.

I really like the idea of having  good quality merchandise and the receiving of good quality services when I decide to spend my hard earned money. I’ve been in customer service for a long time and if I have to provide good customer service each and every day then I expect nothing less than the best in return. I’m the first to complain to a supervisor or manager if I find the need, but then I also don’t mind giving a pat on the back when I feel it appropriate. If I feel that someone has done a better than average job then I believe that needs to be acknowledged as well.

Earlier today I contacted our local San Antonio home security provider and talked with one of the most pleasant ladies that I’ve had the pleasure of talking with in a very long time. She was cheerful, polite, patient and very knowledgeable about the services that they have to offer. I want to have a good security system installed here at home and have heard good things about ADT. I’m glad that I called and was treated with as much respect as this particular lady gave me. I’m seriously considering going with ADT, just want to make sure I dot all my I’s and cross all of my T’s before making a commitment. But so far ADT has all that I need, it’s all good!

I have heard so much about the new energy efficient windows that are being offered by Sears are a great way to reduce the use of our precious energy supple and a great way to save money on the utility bills that come no matter what each and every month. Not only do they save energy but they will increase the value of your home as well, a win, win situation as I see it. It’s all about the money! And with the new $1,500 Stimulus Package Tax Credit from our new administration with President Obama, now is the time to take advantage of all of this.

Of course I do most of my researching and shopping online these days, like so many of us are doing, so I was pleased to find all that I needed about these wonderful replacement windows using the good old Internet! Sears is a very well established business that is known for their customer service and the commitment to quality home improvements and so much more to offer people that what their retail stores have to offer. I’ve had a Sears charge account since day one and count on them each time I turn to them for their services.

I’ve now got their toll free number and am going to contact them for a consultation and find out their replacement window cost and see about getting my place taken care of with their window experts. 1-877-275-4193 in case you’d like to contact them as well.
