Over the last few years, I thought it was very cool to be driving along, looking at people’s dooryards and seeing lights down their driveways.  As I researched this, I found out that these are kits that, with a little time and effort, can be installed quite easily and make your house look like we are rich (we aren’t!)  I found out you can buy different types of kits, square lights, round lights, old fashioned, new “state of the art” or just plain lights that light up the dooryard.

These can be run by low voltage power or by solar power.  I really wanted solar when I started researching but I found out that after a few years the solar panels fade out or just stop working and some of the lights don’t work, whereas with electricity the lights will always work.  I have yet to install these kits in my dooryard, but I have bought the kits, and I hope to install them this summer.  That ought to impress my wife some night when she comes home and sees the lights up and down the dooryard!

I’ve asked my wife to help me find the right window Blinds for that room. She wants us to buy room darkening double cell shades.  She says that she likes double cell shades because it will help us save money on the electric bill.  (She is all about saving money!)  She wants to check out the blinds at www.selectblinds.com.  She says that they will send out free samples and that they offer free shipping, too!

I am going to be setting up a room with a wide screen television in it and a few extra comfortable seats for my friends and me to watch television without the interference of any of my family members.  So we can watch football, baseball, NASCAR races, movies, or any other thing we want to watch without worrying about anyone else in the family wanting to watch a different show.

Most of the time I just don’t understand women!  I guess that makes me an average man!  My wife tells me that we’ve been invited to a costume party.  This time of year?  Are you kidding me?  Sigh.

Well, to keep the peace, I’ll go.  Reluctantly, but I’ll go.  My wife says she is going to buy a sexy costume to wear to the party from www.incostume.com.  She says that they have a great selection of Leg Avenue Costumes, which is her favorite kind.

She showed me the website and said that I can help her pick out which costume to buy.  She thinks that we might make some use out of the costume more than once.  I need to pick one out for me to wear, too!

I love going to the movies, watching the big screen.  I’m pretty fussy what I watch.  I like action, but I hate horror.  I really don’t like blood and gore.  A real good action thriller, to me, is something like Pirates of the Caribbean, or the Fantastic Four.  As you all know, like everything else, the price of going to the movies, buying popcorn and something to drink is ridiculous.  Something I learned to do a couple of years ago was to wait until the movie came out on DVD.  I would either rent it (or buy it if I really liked it) and sit home with my own popcorn and beverage, quite inexpensive.  Pretty much any movie that I bought I would know that I would be watching them over and over in the years to come.

Some movies I really have to go see at the big screen – I just can’t wait for the DVD to come, although I know it will come out within the next 6 months.  One of those that I can’t wait to see, coming out real soon, is Ironman.  I kind of enjoy anything that is produced by Stan Lee, as I was a great Marvel comics man back in my childhood days.  This movie will definitely be a collector’s item and I will be watching it several times.
