I always said that you could never have too many clothes. But I guess that I’ve gotten to that point where I have so many clothes that I’ve even forgotten some of the things that I have. And then I also have a whole lot of trouble figuring out where any of my clothing items are that I would like to wear. So I have to say that organizing my closet was a necessity instead of more than an exercise.

I’ve tried to organize my closet over the years, but it’s been way too long since I’ve been able to bear throwing something away. It’s just too much emotional anguish for me. So I went online to see if I could find some ideas about what exactly I could do differently this time. When I was searching for that, I ran across some cable and internet packages and after I showed them to my husband I decided to change over our home service to one of those packages.

I invested in some additional shelves and hooks to put in my closet so that once I got everything organized and threw away some stuff, I would be able to see what I have better. They really came in handy for my purses and belts.

I think part of the issue at that time was that perhaps some of the products were on the market, but not widely advertised anywhere.  And without the Internet to allow consumers to search the global marketplace to see what items are available, and without YouTube videos to show us how to install the products that a lot of people resorted to doing without or trying to reinvent the wheel.

I logged onto HOMESECURITYSYSTEM.com to research getting an alarm system while I was watching Rachel Ray today. Before I could finish my research, I had to log onto RachelRay.com to enter an on-line contest. She was having a drawing for something that I absolutely love in her television show kitchen. It is the Carolina blue fridge that is named the “Big Chill”. I would love to have one in my kitchen. It is retro looking. It looks like it was probably produced in the early 1960’s, but is as energy efficient as today’s model fridges. I would redecorate my kitchen if I win this fridge. A couple of years back, I really wanted one and looked into purchasing one. Unfortunately, dealers were really far away. The prices listed on-line placed the retail value at well over three thousand dollars. I just knew that my husband would never go for a three thousand dollar fridge, no matter how much I loved it. Who knows, hopefully I will win Rachel’s fridge and get to do a little redecorating of my own!

I got an e-mail from Barbara this morning suggesting that our movie club girls come to her place tomorrow night and watch a variety of shows and movies that she recorded from her Direct TV over the last few weeks. Barbara’s husband will be out of town on business for the week-end and Barbara does not like to stay at home alone so she wants to turn it into a pajama party sleepover.

The last time that I went to one of Barbara’s movie night pajama party sleepovers Cathy drank too many wine coolers and became very obnoxious. I’m not sure I want to go to the party because I don’t like being around obnoxious drunks. I wish that Barbara would just by a home security cullman alarm system or a couple of dogs so she would stop being afraid to be home alone.

I figured in order to Stop collection Calls from coming in that all I had to do was to block the number, wrong!! They just call back with another stinking number, an endless battle. There must be a way to Stop Debt Collectors from calling so much. I really thought that they had to call during normal business hours, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at all.

My sister is having the same trouble and she was telling me that she found a website that she is going to send me the link to about a company that is supposed to help with all of these disturbing calls. She promised to send it to me a few weeks ago and I’m still waiting. But to be fair it has been one heck of a couple of weeks, what with the earthquake and then Hurricane Irene, she didn’t have power for over a week, so I’m sure she has a lot of catching up to do, bless her heart. I was lucky all we had was a bit of rain and some wind with only a few things in the yard being tossed around, no big deal.

My next door neighbors have a really great back yard. They have several awesome Adirondack chairs that I’d love to get my hands on for the place. I keep meaning to ask them where they got them from. Actually the whole neighborhood has done a great job of keeping their front, back and side yards looking nice and welcoming. There is a lot of outside entertaining during the summer months. On the weekends you can smell all kinds of wonderful grilling going on most of the day and well into the evenings. I just love summer!

That was the case with my girlfriend, Mary Anne. She was married and living in Nashville the last time I heard from her, years ago. But now I found her single again and living in Benton, Arkansas. We reconnected and she was telling me all about her new house in Benton and she was actually in the middle of searching for home security benton to arrange for installation of a home security system.

Mary Anne had just closed on her new house last week and is going to be moving in this next weekend. She was trying to get all the utilities and DirectTV installed, turned out and working before she moved the kids in for their first night.

Obviously Mary Anne was too preoccupied to chat much right now, but as soon as she is moved and settled, I am looking forward to a long phone call with some serious heart to heart catching up with each other!

What aggravates me, though, is the two times where the machine was leaking water onto the floor from who knows where and I’ve shut it off, called the repair service, had to wait a week for the repairman to come (which means taking the laundry to a laundromat) only for the repairman to find absolutely nothing wrong with the machine! He runs it through the cycle and it runs fine. I sure feel like an idiot when that happens!

I understand that it can cost a good amount of money for this house removal service. But the cost involved can be worth it in the long run. With the use of the Internet you can go online now and get various quotes for house removal costs which can be a time saver and hopefully provide you with some good choices to choose from for this service. Can you imagine seeing your house going down the road, it must be kinda creepy like, ya know.

The beach chairs are made of plastic or canvas and don’t usually recline enough to be comfortable unless you get one of the lounge chairs with an adjustable back.

Oh, I don’t want to forget to mention rocking chairs. If you have a big porch and can sit outside for a while, nothing beats an old fashioned wood rocking chair. I see them lined up along the front porch of Cracker Barrel restaurants all the time and think how wonderful it would be to have a porch like that and all my family sitting in a rocker having a nice visit.
