I'm back and all is well.

Back from my procedure. It took no time and didn't hurt at all. They found nothing, thank God! I went at noon, was back home by 3. Took a nap, and now I'm ok.

I am considering using a web host for one of my blogs. I know nothing about it or who to use. I found this site with absolutely great web hosting tutorials and articles. They don't however recommend a certain web host provider. The articles are very informative and it was very worth my while, as I learned a lot of stuff. It can be very beneficial to anyone who is wanting to know about web hosting, and don't know much, like me.
Finding a good host is not about finding the most expensive one, but one that has 24 hour customer support, and if the web host pages loads slowly, yours probably would too if you used them.
So my question is - do you have any experience with web hosting companies, and who do you recommend?

Heads or Tails

TAILS - Tell about your job (Or one you've had)

Well, I'm no longer out in the working world. I now work at home. For twelve years, I was a supervisor at a major long distance company customer service center. I absolutely loved that job. When I married Robert, his job moved us around, so I have had a few jobs since then. I was an accounting clerk for 7-11 stores corporate office two years, worked at Las Vegas local phone company customer service center for three years, and have had more temp jobs than I can even remember doing various jobs.

But the job I loved most was being a Mom. I spent the first five years of their lives at home with them, and am so thankful I was able to do that.

Cleaned out storage

I found so much stuff that belonged to my evil ex. He was a Marine and then armed security. No guns or anything like that, (I would have had a heart attack, as I hate guns), but lots and lots of stuff. When I think of all the money he spent on 'police gear', it truly amazes me. I found gun and knife holders, vests, boots, tactical belt, and so much more. It is now all in the garbage bin out back. He spent many hours browsing and buying from here.
What does your hubby wastes your money on?

Yucky afternoon ahead

I have to have a procedure done in the hospital this afternoon. (light down my throat to see my stomach) They are putting me to sleep for it, and even though it's outpatient only, I hate that feeling.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Sunday Links and Deals

Found at Design Sponge.. how to make a cakeplate with old cheap vases and odd plates.

Great recyclable idea. Awesome cakeplate!

PUDDING LAMP! Awesome to make for a child's room, or a patio.

The jar lady is back - this time with Mudslide Pie and Strawberry Cheesecakes. These jars are not much larger than a nickel.... great for kids, but I LOVE them.

Current has a 75% off sale going on. I love their stuff!

Lookinf for the best gas prices? Try Gas Buddy. You just put in your zip code and it tells you where the cheapest gas is near you.
