The Life and Times of "Tanya"

For many of us with home offices or just the need for home broadband , it can be difficult to find a reliable company offering exactly what we need at a reasonable price. But I think I might have found one. The company is called Residential Broadband , and just by the name, it's clear that their specialty is broadband in the home. If you work from the home, or are thinking of starting a business out of your home, you've got to check out Residential Broadband. Thank you for reading this sponsored post.

Well, it's final. My friend, Collette, and I are going to start a part time operation of flipping houses. We're just going to go through the process of one, and then we'll see how it goes. Who knows? I might end up doing this for a living, and leaving the box making job. It sounds like it could be a really fulfilling career. So, last night, we looked through HomesDatabase.com and got a good idea of the prices of homes--because of course, to flip a house, you need to have a nest egg for investment--and anyway, I think we're going to flip a house that's a REAL fixer upper, priced at $95,000... I'll keep you updated.

These days, it seems like everything is wireless. With Bluetooth our phones our wireless, wireless cable is possible in remote locates, and of course, wireless internet. Wireless capability is such a boon for people that want to work from wherever. If you're one of the many plugged into Wireless Networking , then you've got to check out Cognio. This company is especially cool because it offers a feature that searches for wireless interference and analyzes it. Did you know that your wireless can be disrupted by microwaves, cordless headsets, cordless phones, and even Bluetooth? This is something you should pay particular attention to if you're concerned with security. But you don't have to worry, because Cognio is here to take care of it for you. I know this personally, because my company recently purchased a Cognio package after suffering a security breach due to network jammers. Cognio was completely efficient and professional, and we haven't had a problem...

I'm really excited because I just talked with a friend about possibly working together to flip a house in our spare time. And don't worry, I'm not one of those people that is completely enchanted by Flip This House that just wants to make quick money. I know that there are twists and turns and disappointments, but I think that the benefits would outweigh the problems, and I'd love to at least try it once. I'm really hoping that my friend and I will be able to see this project through. It would be such a cool part time job!

I don't know what it is, but now that I've lost some weight, I've enjoyed fashion so much more. I guess it's because clothes just hang differently on me now. Anyway, I was out looking at spring clothing last night, and I found this great skirt that I could wear to the office. Then I started thinking--I don't really have a fashionable way to carry my laptop, so on a whim, I checked out the web, looking for Colorful laptop bags for women . Well, I found the gold mine. At Rainbrooke , I was able to search through TONS of bags, and ended up getting the cute little blue bag shown below. They had plenty of other colors, too, including pink, lavender, red, bronze, olive green, and lime green. If you are a fashionable woman, you've got to get to Rainbrooke to check out their laptop bags .

Hello There, I'm so excited to get new countertops for my new house. I found what I think is a good deal at Home Depot--$37 per sqft--and I think I'm going to go for it. It's DuPont Corian solid surface--definitely a step up from the laminate that's there now. If any of you have purchased countertops recently, and can give me some tips, I would really appreciate it. My real estate agent gave me a hard time about not getting granite, but I think this will better fit the house as a whole. It's not very frou-frou.

I have a friend with a teenage daughter who has really gotten in with the wrong crowd. It all seemed to happen so fast--one day she was a little kid in a ponytail, and the next she was wearing all black with chains hanging everywhere. I think the tragedy at VA Tech really made my friend think, and she enrolled her daughter in the Struggling Teen Wilderness Program , by going to WildernessProgramsEtc.com. I think things will improve now that my friend is taking a proactive approach to her daughter. I'll keep you updated on her progress. Thank you for reading this sponsored post.
