*BedBathStore*

My husband has the day off from work today so he is helping me decorate our final room of the house that we moved into three-years-three-months ago! We have saved our bedroom for last because it requires five curtain rods. Thankfully, at BedBathStore, black Friday specials have already started -- including great savings on their curtain rods and other New Products By The Merchant Source. We like the Moderno Decorative Extendable Curtain Rods by Versailles, or for something fancier the Decorative Bronze Ribbed Wood Pole and Hardware Set, Decorative White Fluted Wood Pole and Hardware Set, Decorative Palatial Gold Smooth Wood Pole and Hardware Set, or Decorative Gold Leaf Fluted Wood Pole and Hardware Set. All would look great in our bedroom!

As of now, we don't need to replace our comforter, but if we did I would love New Bedding by Textrade. The Crystal Orbit Gold 7 piece comforter set includes a comforter with matching solid back, pieced flanged sham, solid tailored bedskirt, 1 decorative pillow, and 2 euro shams.

Or, the New Bedding by Egyptian Peddler -- the last two "print bed in a bag sets" match our current color scheme. Best of all, they are machine washable! Also, apart of the New Bedding by Egyptian Peddler is the Premium Visco Elastic Memory Foam Pillow. I am thinking about getting this for my husband for Christmas because he is often complaining of back pain and I have heard that a pillow can make all of the difference. This pillow molds naturally to your body and surrounds your head & neck for exceptional therapeutic cushioning. The 3 lb high density foam delivers support while relieving pressure point and is hypo-allergenic; the anti-microbial finish guards against bacterial odors, also resists mold, mildew and algae.

Finally, for clocks, RIVERCITY has some great selections. My mom and stepdad have one similar to the 9" Tall Radio Controlled Tambour Mantel Clock with Oak Finish that has lasted for many years. I like the Bosley Parchment Dial Indoor/Outdoor Wall Clock by Seth Thomas as well as the Luminous Black Thermometer Wall Clock by Seth Thomas, and the 9" Tall Beehive Style Clock with Thermometer and Hygrometer. All currently have special holiday pricing!

It's a great time of year to shop at the BedBathStore!

*Myrtle Beach Golf*

In October I wrote about the trip Joe & I took to Chicago, checking out the suburbs as a possible place to move. We also want to check out the Carolinas before we make a decision because both of us fell in love with that area on a vacation in 2005. I have been to a lot of places in my life, and the Carolinas are my favorite states! I don't think the scenery can get anymore beautiful.

Our plan is to fly to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and then after we soak up the sun, rent a car to drive the three-and-a-half hours to Raleigh, North Carolina where there are job possibilities for Joe.

I have been wanting to visit Myrtle Beach for several years. My husband is excited, too, because he loves to golf and there is a place that lets you book your tee times and accommodations at the same time: http://www.myrtlebeachgolf.net There are also Myrtle Beach golf packages. My husband hasn't been able to golf for a few months because it's too cold now in Nebraska, but this week temperatures are in the 70's in Myrtle Beach! It'd be a great day to check out the Myrtle Beach golf courses. . .I wish we were there right now!

*Butcher Blocks And More*

When my husband and I first bought our patio furniture in 2004 we were very careful to bring it in before even the smallest rain drop, and we kept it very clean. Then in 2008 or 2009 we got lazy (or rather, the opposite -- we had a child!) and we began leaving it out through the seasons (except winter) and so it's not in as good of shape as it was 6 yrs ago. In a few years we'll probably be ready to buy some new furniture. I love the look of adirondack chairs! They come in all shapes, sizes, and styles!

I also like utility sinks, so it is possible we could replace our current white kitchen sink with a stainless steel sink like what we had in our previous house. It was very easy to keep clean and helped our kitchen look classy.

Finally, I would love a butcher block. Not only are they beautiful, but they provide storage and give you extra space! Whether it's a standing island, kitchen island and cart, butcher block table, or counter top -- I could use them all.

Are you in need of any of these?

*Prepare For The Unexpected*

My first post this month shared the tragic news of my mother-in-law's friend's nephew who was killed in a plane crash with three of his sons. The funeral service was last weekend.

Sadly, there are many families all over the world who have lost loved ones due to accidental death. In Australia, 14 males and 7 females die every day due to accidental death. The facts are startling, especially when you consider the families left behind, often without financial protection.

We all hate to prepare for the unexpected, but it does need to be done.

*The Steam Team*

Over the summer I wrote about the water that leaked into our basement. It took until last month before it was finally fixed! We kept having our builder's crew come out to try different things but it wasn't until they dug super far into the ground and sealed cracks in our foundation that it seems to be good now.
