Having grown up in New England, I am rooting for the Patriots to win the Super Bowl today! Right now the Patriots are leading and I’m happy about that! Most of the people that I know around here are rooting for the Giants, so we have to cheer extra loud here at our place! GO PATRIOTS!

My wife has decided to create her own website in an attempt to assist her in recruiting new sales agents to join her team. She has been trying to think of great ways to help people who are looking for jobs in Warrenton or jobs in Culpeper find her. She is reluctant to place an ad in the newspaper, but she may end up doing that down the road. So far she has been printing flyers and spreading them around town, taking them to places that she knows has bulletin boards and tacking them up. She also went to the local homeless shelter and gave them a lot of flyers to put on their bulletin boards as well.

Yesterday she went into the local Blockbusters video store that is closing and gave them some flyers. She even pulled off of the road when she saw someone dressed in costume holding up a sign that was advertising a tax preparation company and gave him a flyer!

I told her to give me a bunch of flyers and I’d help to distribute them too.

From what I understand the groundhogs have predicted six more weeks of winter weather. Well, so far the winter weather here has been unusually mild, so if that is what we are going to continue to get for the next six weeks, I am all for it! If I recall correctly, it has only snowed once around here this winter season, and we’ve only had some freezing rain once as well, and that is the way I like it! My folks back in New England have not had it quite so lucky; every time I talk to them on the phone they are telling me how cold it is and how much snow they are getting. Again, fine with me; they can keep it there!

Our dogs love to play with cheap squeaky toys that we can buy in the pet supplies section at Wal-Mart. It is so much fun watching our oldest dog go after they squeaker part with great enthusiasm. Most of the new toys that we buy that squeak, are “de-squeaked” within twenty minutes of giving the toy to her. She loves to play tug-of-war and “keep-away” with us with the toy, and we love to watch the two dogs play “keep-away” from each other. We’ll give them both a new identical toy at the same time, yet each dog thinks that the toy that the other dog has MUST be superior, so they are trying to steal each other’s toys. It really is funny to watch them play with each other and with the toys.

Our mattress simply is not as comfortable as it used to be; my wife has been complaining a lot lately about a backache, and that is not normal at all. We’ve turned the mattress and still her back hurts. Seems like it was just a couple of years ago when we bought it, but when we think about it, we realized that we bought it over ten years ago!

So we have agreed to keep our eyes open for a good mattress sale to try to get a good price on a new mattress. We’ve always slept on a king mattress, and even though our family and friends can’t seem to understand why we can’t seem to sleep on a smaller bed, we just know from experience that we just don’t sleep well on anything less. We’ve found that finding a king mattress sale can be challenging; it seems to us that more queen and double beds seem to go on sale than king size. So it may be a while, but it is important to get a new one as soon as we can.
