			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am still working on the back patio. It is relatively slow going right now as I haven&#8217;t had a lot of free time. Work has gotten really crazy, plus the rain added to it hasn&#8217;t helped much. I have however bought the <a href="http://www.systempavers.com/gallery/patios-paving.aspx">patio pavers</a> I needed for out back and I am just waiting for the rain to let up so I can start to lay them down. I also have the <a href="http://www.systempavers.com/splighting/splinstall.aspx">landscape lighting installation</a> to get done after wards, but I am not in a great hurry with that part yet. My wife is anxious to have it all done so she can plan a BBQ.</p>
<p>It will  be done in time for Memorial Day though, that I am sure of. <a href="http://www.systempavers.com/">paving stone</a> doesn&#8217;t take very long to put down and the lighting should only take about two days total. I have a friend coming in to help me with that part. Most of the back yard is already finished and this just needs to be done. I am sure that my wife will find other stuff to do to it over the summer. We are determined to have an oasis in our backyard for relaxing and entertaining in. I will be happy when it is done though.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My wife loves chocolate. Much like most women do I imagine. Every now and then I order her favorite <a title="Belgian chocolate" href="http://www.serenatachocolates.com">Belgian chocolate</a> for her. She absolute goes nuts when I do too. I love it when she is really happy and for some reason this chocolate makes her giddy like a child.  I have heard that chocolate makes the brain produce endorphin&#8217;s or some such thing like that. I don&#8217;t know myself, but there are a lot of different theories about it.</p>
<p>I have even read the<a title="history of chocolate" href="http://www.chocolate.org/"> history of chocolate</a> to see why it affects people in such a way as it does.  I suppose that we will never really agree why it does what it does, but that doesn&#8217;t matter. So long as it makes my wife happy, then I am happy. I might have to buy some for my mother as well. She loves the stuff just as much as my wife.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have decided to hire a <a title="Custom home architect" href="http://www.frankyarchitect.com/">Custom Home Architect</a> to redesign the pool area and patio that we want. We  just aren&#8217;t happy with what we have and want something a little more elegant. We are thinking about something that corresponds with the garden, like a nature pool. I saw one in a magazine a few years ago and have had the idea in my head ever since then. I want it to look completely natural, as if it is an oasis somewhere in the mountains. I know that it will cost a pretty penny, but even my wife thinks it is worth it.</p>
<p>It is not going to take but a couple of weeks to accomplish since we know exactly what we want. This place is shaping up nicely and shouldn&#8217;t take too much longer to finish. That has us so excited. We will finally be finished with all of the remodeling and construction. Well, we will be done with the construction, but I think we will never be completely be finished with remodeling or at least redecorating. We like to shop too much for stuff.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am browsing through <a title="trucks" href="http://www.parkautomall.com">http://www.parkautomall.com</a> looking for used trucks for the business. It has been a long time since I have purchased any new work vehicles. The ones I have are getting old and worn out. We bought them when we first started the company and that was long ago. Since our company has grown a lot, it is time to purchase new <a title="trucks" href="http://www.parkautomall.com/cars-for-sale.html">trucks</a>. We are able to at this time due to a new contract I just finished negotiating. I am so very happy about that.</p>
<p>This site is neat as they also have a <a title="used car blog" href="http://www.tampacarblog.com">used car blog</a> as well as videos and pictures.  I have found almost everything I need so far and I am not finished looking. The wife is going to take the day off so she can help drive the vehicles back to the shop after we buy them. We will have to make a couple of trips because I can&#8217;t take any of the employees with us as we have too much work right now with dead lines that have to be met.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This morning&#8217;s breakfast was amazing. I woke up to find that my wife had gotten up early and made a huge breakfast for us. She made eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and muffins. She said she woke up and couldn&#8217;t go back to sleep, then had a craving for a big home made breakfast before work and started cooking. I ate so much I am going to have a hard time concentrating on work this morning, but I don&#8217;t care. I really enjoyed it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I decided to look into <a title="safes" href="http://www.safesatoz.com">safes</a> for the home as a preventative measure in case of any kind of disaster. It wont matter if it is a flood, fire or a tornado, the <a title="safes" href="http://www.safesatoz.com">safes</a> I am looking at will protect whatever I want it too. I noticed that with all the recent tornadoes and such that people are losing so much and than to lose all of their documentation as well is just horrible.</p>
<p>With all of that in mind, I started looking for <a title="safes" href="http://www.safesatoz.com">safes</a> so we wouldn&#8217;t have to worry about that as well. It makes me feel better knowing that I can protect the most important stuff we may need after a disaster. I know that my wife is over joyed that I thought to do something like this. She has always worried that the house would burn down or something and we would lose everything. Now she can rest easy knowing that it is safe.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have two spare bedrooms. One has a double bed in it and the other has been used for storage of some minor stuff and most of that is in the closet. Since we are having our nephews for the weekend, we have decided to make the bedroom into a room for them. We are going to put in a <a title="Bunk BED" href="http://www.bunkbedsatoz.com">bunk bed</a> for them. It has been a long time since we have had them over for weekend visits and we want to rectify that.  We used to have them over all the time and somehow that kind of stopped. I suppose life got so busy that we just didn&#8217;t have time and forgot how much we enjoy our time with them.</p>
<p>A <a title="bunk bed" href="http://www.bunkbedsatoz.com">bunk bed</a> is so much better for them, because they can feel like they have their own space while they are here.  I am going to go get them a TV as well, so if they want to watch cartoons in the morning before everyone else is up, they can without waking us. They tend to get up very early. I was going to let them pick put the <a title="bunk bed" href="http://www.bunkbedsatoz.com">bunk bed</a> but then it wouldn&#8217;t be here for this weekend and that will not do. I want everything ready for their visit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we decided to remodel the kitchen we wanted to open it up as it was a closed in kitchen. After extensive remodeling, we have accomplished that and now have a<a title="bar" href="http://www.barstoolsatoz.com"> bar</a> that opens into the living room dining room area.  We are now going to purchase <a title="bar stools" href="http://www.barstoolsatoz.com">bar stools </a>for it as well. I haven&#8217;t decided yet if I want padded ones nor not. We are still debating that. I am happy that we can finally buy them though.</p>
<p>We also have a bar outside, that is an actual liquor bar for parties and BBQ&#8217;s. The <a title="bar stools" href="http://www.barstoolsatoz.com">bar stools</a> we have out there are old and need replacing as well, but we don&#8217;t want the same ones as what we get for inside the house. We want the ones for the patio bar to match the out door furniture. That might be a bit difficult, but not impossible. Either way, I am sure we will be happy with whatever we decide to buy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With all the time I have had on my hands lately, I have been able to get a lot of things done around the house. One of them was to fix the hot tub. It has been broken for months and I couldn&#8217;t figure out what the problem was until today. Now that it is fixed I have to buy a few supplies for it. I need to get a few <a title="hot tub filters" href="http://www.hottubspasupplies.com/Spa-Supplies/Spa-Filters">hot tub filters</a> first, because that was one of the problems. The filter had come apart and the pieces clogged up the lines.</p>
<p>I also need some <a title="hot tub chemicals" href="http://www.hottubspasupplies.com/Spa-Supplies/Spa-Chemicals">hot tub chemicals</a> as well. I threw the old stuff away because I wasn&#8217;t sure I could even fix it after it broke.  That is okay since it is now fixed and when the wife comes home she is going to be ecstatic about it. The hot tub is one of her favorite features of this house. Now I don&#8217;t have to worry about her wanting to move. I hate moving.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found some awesome stuff for my truck. I am buying <a title="sheepskin " href="http://www.comfysheep.com/catalog/Auto-Accessories/sheepskin-auto-accessories.html">sheepskin seat covers</a> to go in it. They are the real deal, not the fake ones either. I found that they are amazingly soft and will help when it is cold outside. Getting into a truck with cold leather seats can be very daunting first thing in the morning. <a href="http://www.comfysheep.com/catalog/Auto-Accessories/sheepskin-auto-accessories.html" target="_blank">luxury car seat covers</a> are good for protecting the leather as well from wear and tear, especially in a work truck. I am so happy that I found these online.</p>
<p>I am going to show the <a href="http://www.comfysheep.com/" target="_blank">sheepskin products</a> to my wife and see if she wants any for her BMW. I am sure that she will, but I always ask her first with stuff like this. She is as picky with her car as I am with my truck. I guess we all have our little quirks when it comes to our vehicles.</p>
