A Couch The Dog Hairs Aren't Attracted To

I love Craigslist! I posted my sofa and loveseat on their site, and within 48 hours my furniture was gone and I had cash in hand! If you'd like to find out how you can sell anything quickly on Craigslist, please visit my article at, eHow.com.

It was such an easy transaction, it makes me wonder if I didn't charge enough. However, I was purchasing a leather couch from my mother-in-law, and it was enough to cover the price she was asking, so I was happy.

The dilemma I have now is how to rearrange the furniture. Previously I had the loveseat on one wall, the sofa with it's back to the dinning area, and a chair-and-a-half with an ottoman on the other wall. But the chair-and-a-half, never really fit and was in the way. I've moved it to where the sofa was and the sofa where the loveseat was and moved a recliner from my office in there, but now I can't figure out where to put the end table, and I really like having a table lamp in the room. Overhead lighting seems too harsh, I prefer mood lighting!

I'm just excited to have a sofa that dog hairs won't be attracted to! They seemed to wiggle their way into the old furniture's material and it would practically take tweezers to remove them. And the funny thing is, the dog doesn't even like the feel of the leather and hasn't gotten on it once -- I couldn't get him off the old couch! I should have made the change years ago. What I would have saved in lint rollers would have paid for it!

My Childhood Life And My Adult Life Just Collided!

I vividly recall sitting in my neighbor's front yard with about 5 other young teens and listening to Def Leppard's Pyromania. I felt so cool! I thought I was hanging out with the cool kids, and though, at the time, I wasn't crazy about Def Leppard's music, I wasn't leaving that yard unless they drug me away!

My hubby had been a hug Def Leppard fan, as a teen he would cruise in the back of his cousin's VW bug listening to Def Leppard. So he brought into our marriage his Def Leppard cassettes. (yes, cassettes!)

I grew to love Def Leppard and I have many fond memories of fun times dancing on our houseboat trips to Pour Some Sugar On Me.

Today my sister emailed me a link from YouTube to Nine Lives by Def Leppard. Featured on the song is Tim McGraw. Tim McGraw? Yep!

Here's is where my world's collided.

Tim McGraw is part of my adult life. Tim is only a year older than I am, and when he sang In My Next 30 Years, I couldn't help but relate. And then his It's Your Love, with Faith Hill caused me to swoon. And when I took my sister, who was pregnant, to see him in concert 6 years ago, the videos he showed of his family almost had me in tears.

So today, when I saw Tim singing with Def Leppard, it was the strangest sensation. How could my childhood band be singing with my adult musical love? I actually liked it! Not just the memories, but the song too.

Have your childhood memories ever collided with something in your current life? What was it, and how did it make you feel?

Your New Computer Needs A Better Connection

So, are you reading this post on your new computer? Did you stand in line all night just to get the best deal on a laptop or desktop? But, did this purchase lead you to the realization that you now need high speed Internet?

Where I live we have very few choices when it comes to our ISP. It's either DSL or satellite. There are no other options. But, unlike me, most people today have more options for their Internet connection. One of which is cable. And you can get some fantastic deals on cable! Especially when you bundle it with your phone service and cable television.

For instance, the Charter Communications Ultimate Service Bundle is $165.97/mo. That's about 1/3 off the price I currently have to pay, but with more services. It includes: High Speed Internet, (10 Mbps) Digital Home TV, Charter HD, with Sports View, Digital View, HBO/Cinemax, Starz/Encore, Showtime/The Movie Channel and your phone service with unlimited calling.

And right now when you purchase the Bundle, you'll get a $250 gift card and a chance to win an X-Box 360 game console. But the gift card offer is for one week only! Starting on black Friday.

Don't wait till it's too late and you're paying more. Visit Connect.Charter.com and get your surfing, researching, social networking, etc. done faster! Why would you pass up $250? And maybe you'll win an X-Box too!

We Watched Wall-E!

Yes, I know that Wall-E is a kids movie and I have no little kids, but I heard that it was good and wanted to find out for myself, and since I can get a movie for just a buck at any Redbox, I went for it!

I liked Wall-E (not loved) but then I'm not a little kid, I'm not sure what a kid would think. I will say, Pixar did a great job on the animation, as usual. The computer animation (CG) was so good, that at times it's hard to believe it wasn't real.

The movie is set in the future and only robots are left on the earth. Wall-E is there trying to clean up the garbage laden earth. He spends his days compacting garbage, with his little cockroach friend nearby. He lives an almost human life, taking a cooler with him to work, but instead of using it for food, he stashes things from the garbage mounds that he wants to keep as collectibles.

Every day is the same for Wall-E until one day when a spaceship drops off EVE. EVE is there for a reason, but other than scanning objects, we aren't sure at first what that reason is. Wall-E and EVE become friends, Wall-E even desiring to hold EVE's hand. But then a plant is found, and EVE takes it and shuts down.

The mothership comes for EVE and Wall-E chases after EVE, ending up in space. Once on Axiom (the ship that all the humans are living on) the plant shows that life can be sustained on earth again, however, not everyone wants to return to earth and so the plant is stolen and Wall-E and EVE have to get it to the machine that will identify it and let them come back to earth.

The movie depicts humans in the future, on Axiom, as being so lazy they are all fat. They never walk, but instead use hoover chairs to get them everywhere and they have screens in front of their faces constantly that prevent them from noticing anything around them.

Everything, on both earth and on Axiom, is owned by BnL. A dig on the big retailers today who try to monopolize business?

Be prepared, for the first 20 minutes, or maybe a little more, there is very little said. Wall-E and the cockroach are the only ones around and they don't really strike up any conversations. What they do though is cute and keeps your attention.

The movie did make me think how much we humans need love... to the point that my heart was melting over robots falling in love! How sappy is that?

My rating? Out of 5 stars I'd give it 4. I sat through it and it was cute, but I don't see myself watching it again.
