Life has been exciting and busy...

Yes, my adventure of a life has been continuing at full-speed. In the last month, I have gone to NFL football games, NHL hockey games, the symphony, lots of dinners out, and 2 vacations. Yep! that's right two vacations. The first was a quick weekend away with my husband and friends for his birthday. We headed down to Tunica, MS and did a bit of gambling and playing. I always describe to to friends as kind of like "Chuck E. Cheese" for adults. You pay money to play games, eat lots of food, and well since we're adults, drink free drinkees. It's a blast and really a great way to get rid of some stress.

Our other vacation was to beautiful Taos, New Mexico. We had never been their before, and I can definitely recommend it as a gorgeous place to visit. We spent three luxurious nights at the El Monte Sagrada resort and spa. Boy, oh Boy, that place treated me like a queen. It is so relaxing and quiet with beautiful views of the mountains. We also visited the Indian Pueblo, some art galleries, and the surrounding countryside. The beauty was almost overwhelming. I will attach a photo to give you just a hint of how special a place Taos is.

Stop Dropping Nails and Screws! The MagnoGrip!!!!

I have a new cool gizmo to tell you about. One of my favorite sites http://www.homeconstructionimprovement.com , Home Construction Improvement has posted a review of "The MagnoGrip". If you are like me, you tend to lose small screws and nails when you are working on a project. I also have a problem finding a secure place to set nails and screws when I am not using them at the moment, but will need them shortly. Either I lose them, or my cat runs away with them. Same result either way... I have a screw loose!

Anyway, the MagnoGrip folks have designed a cool cuff that you can wear that has a magnet on it so that you can simply magnetically attach nails, screws, and other small metal doohickies to your wrist. Woo hoo... no more lost objects or having to go back down the ladder to retrieve the nails that you need for your project. Check out the full review at Home Construction Improvement's website.

Oh, and even cooler yet... they are giving away a FREE MagnoGrip over at Home Construction Improvement.
