I am a member of a car club and we meet every Tuesday night. Last week we had a big discussion about rims. I like 20 rims. My friend David needs a new car rim and his mom needs one truck rim. They both hit a bump on their ways home and off flew a rim from each of their cars.

We ended up talking about all sorts of things and I remembered why I like the car club so much. We all have common interests and we get together just to discuss them.

Next week we’re going to discuss how to choose the right color of paint for your car. I say go with something everyone will like but others disagree because if you are not ever planning on selling your car, then you should choose any color that you want.

It should be interesting.

Now, I’m not a nerdy tech person, by any means. Sure, I know how to check my e-mail, use Google, and blog (obviously). But when it comes to using more complicated stuff, I just get goose bumps. So, when I had a problem with some e-mails that got deleted, I completely lost my mind.

For a long time, I’ve used AOL and their services just because it’s simple and I know how to use it. When the problems started, I looked everywhere for something easy someone like me could use to recover deleted email. And I’m so glad I found something. It was easy to understand and it actually worked! It found my missing files.

These problems with my AOL mail have pushed me to seriously find an alternative service for my e-mail.  But then I wondered, is it even possible to move AOL Address Book? I’ve got hundreds of contacts and it would take forever to copy them all to a new e-mail program. After some searching, I found that it isn’t just possible, it’s really easy! The program worked instantly, and I’ve successfully switched to another easy to use e-mail service.

I’m not saying that you have to leave AOL, but it’s nice to have that option. You don’t have to feel tied down to AOL, as I have for the past couple of years now, just because you don’t want to lose your contacts and you’re not a computer wiz.  

The French Open schedule is set for what sex and type of match is when but the players will not know how those brackets are to be filled until well into the tournament. Last year in the men’s singles, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer fought it out with Nadal winning again.

But the world of tennis is always interesting. If Roger never wins the French Open, he will not have a career Grand Slam. Being the French Open tennis winner is what really matters to him. He wants to be able to retire with few regrets and if he doesn’t win this at least once, he’ll always regret it.

Really though, Roger has had an amazing career and he has been ranked number one for something like 223 straight weeks. He has won Wimbledon four times and the other two tournaments at least once. I wonder if he has ever competed in the Olympics and if so, did he win a metal?

A new breakthrough in the world of beauty is being able to have permanent make up cosmetics. This is a wonderful thing for so many people, especially busy women. Between taking care of things at home, the children, cooking and cleaning, and then work, saving several minutes on makeup can make a world of difference.

Getting permanent make up eyebrows helps in more ways than just saving time. The cost of the make up is saved. Over the course of a year, that is upwards of a hundred dollars. Just think about how much money that is over a lifetime!

And in addition to the time saved and the money saved, when a woman with beauty permanent makeup wakes up, she looks great. Same thing with swimming. Make up that doesn’t smear and run means a lot and you can even sweat and still look great. I say this trend is here to stay and I’m glad.

I was looking for resources online for tips on decorating when I stumbled across a Next Day Blinds video. I found it to be very useful for idea on blinds and just window treatments in general. I was thinking about getting curtains but I changed my mind and decided to go with window blinds.

I love all of the blinds that they showed. There were honeycomb blinds and wood blinds. They even have bamboo blinds. The interior decorating blinds were great. I can’t believe that I never knew how great this project could be.

When I was in college, I always have icky plastic blinds because that was what the rent houses I lived in had. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money since I didn’t own the property and I knew that I would be moving. Now I wish that I had decided to buy my own house a long time ago because this is so much fun!
