Just Pass Me By

Don’t honk, don’t cut me off, just pass me by!

 

Opinion: Branson

You know I could really use a vacation. Everything that has been going on has me feeling a little stressed as to how will I accomplish everything. Since dad moved in a lot of things have change, now I am not just cleaning up after my husband but also his dad and taking care of other basic needs dad has.
So I know soon I will really be needing a vacation. In the past I have talked about Bransonas a possible vacation spot. They have family options and couple options. I would look at a couple of options, to get me and hubby gone for a couple days would be great. If we wanted we could go with the Gold Package which is only 455$ it would come with 3 days and 2 nights stay and then it would have a pierce Arrow and Mickey Gilley adult tickets for hubby and I to enjoy.
If that package wouldn’t work we could look at the Platinum Package for 457$ which is 3 days and 2 nights Grand Oaks with 2 adult tickets to Grand Jubilee, and a gift certificate to either Red Lobster or Olive Garden, and coupon book with a 50$ Tanger outlet shopping certificate. Who could ask for more.
There are a couple of Attractions I am interested in one is The Titanic Museum, this could be a fun little experience to look at it, and learn more about it. Then there is the Cave and Caverns which sound fun to me I have always been interested in caves.
Maybe Branson will be a great place for a long needed vacation been needing one for years.

Can’t they make it easier

I got a new entertainment center this weekend. It was great on the showroom floor and didn’t look hard to assemble. We got it at Ikea, and brought it home to build it our selves. It weighted 99 pounds and was the black Tobo entertainment stand. It has 2 glass shelves and 2 doors.
I took everything out and put it in an order, it took me about 3 hours to get this completely together, but I also tore apart our old one which was about to fall apart. It took me quite awhile to get this one built. Almost everything I have gotten from Ikea are challenging to put together. The direction aren’t always clear and there are no stickers on the pieces, which are to be put together so sometimes it’s challenging to know what goes where. I have one of the doors stuck and haven’t figured out how to solve that problem yet, no matter how hard I tugged it didn’t move. I will have to try to figure it out with out taking it all apart of get to it. Why can’t they make it easier and label things like a, b, c and so on or 1, 2, 3 or so on just or even top, bottom, left side, middle and right side, it would help if it was marked some how and I didn’t have to try to figure out a picture which isn’t always clear.
Don’t get me wrong I am very happy with the Entertainment stand and it looks great in the Apartment. It matches the Kitchen table we got, but doesn’t exactly match the coffee table because that’s white, so I guess it really does match okay.
My husband and I looked at several Tv stands and entertainment center. We saw one we liked a little more but our Tv weighed a little to much, but we still had 2 that we really liked alot. I wish they had a couple of Peerless to look at.
We also ended up getting a CD/DVD holder that holds up to 88 DVD’s which is something we needed since I got raid of the old one.
I am happy with it, and it looks great here. It adds something very nice into the living room, that wasn’t their before. This is a nice sturdy piece.

Review: Branson MO Vacations

It is almost summer time for vacation for many schools unless they are an all year around school, then I am not sure what their schedule is for vacations. I know many families during the summer like to take their children on educational trips well I have an idea. Branson, it’s right in the heart of the United States, they have seven packages price ranging from $423.00 to $925.00, the 925.00 is the family package. Don’t want to do a package because you don’t think it would give you enough freedom there are plenty of great lodging options.
Lodging options ranges from Hotels, condos and luxurious cabins. Many of these have the comforts of home including internet so you can send messages to work if you really needed to. There a few museums the museum which interested me most was the Titanic Museum.
The Titanic Museum is a half scale replica of the original ship, which was not supposed to sink but did sink. There is a memorial there of the people who lost their lives. This may be a good way to experience history, which are hands on learning in a sense. History for children and adults is fun when they can experience history and learn about the people who where affected by what happened. This would probably be better then reading a book or watching a movie if your like me and have a hard time watching movies that are longer then 2 ½ hours. I think this will probably be one of the stops my husband and I make if we go to Branson on a vacation. I think hubby and I would be very interested.
There are many attractions they have several caves and caverns around them, caves are always fun. I have been on a couple of cave tours and have learned things. One of the most interesting lesson was that sound in a cave doesn’t always come from where it seems to come from. My little nephew enjoyed the cave tour we brought him on last summer. There are also several theme parks in the area for white water and miniature golf.

Review: LogoYes.com

Sometimes I get asked if I have a business card for my blogs. I am not sure why people would ask but okay, I know of a site where I can get a logo design very easily. LogoYes.com is the easiest site I have found to create business cards. There are only five steps to the process.
Step one is selecting what kind of image you would like, do you want a High-Tech, Bold or Flair, each one of these has there own unique symbols. I chose the Bold image because I felt, I would like my image to stand out, plus for this page I felt bold would looked the best.
Step two and three are selecting what kind of business there are 30 different career options, the career I picked was animal & nature. I did this because I have been writing a lot about my cat, and I didn’t see many transportation ones I liked enough to pick over a cute cat. I decided to make the cat bigger because Otis is a large cat.
Step 4 is picking what your card should be called, and the font style you would like. This is one of the harder steps there are many options so finding the right font takes a little time to do.
Step 5 is creating the Lay out you would like. This will allow you to choice what colors you would like your image and your font to be. This is another step which may take a while if you’re not sure which colors you would like to use for your logo and words. I chose 2 different types of blue because I felt it would work well with my page and it’s one of my favorites color. I decided I would enlarge the cat as large as I could with out distorting the cat look, and then moved it to where it would be more in the middle of my words. I did this because I wanted the cat tail to look like it was going to hit end of “Me.” After I got the words and cat to the size I wanted them, I worked on the color. After the colors are picked then you move into the last step buying. There are 25 different designs to choose from, and each design is a little bit different.
It took me about 10 minutes to come up with a design I liked for my blog site. LogoYes.com is very simple to use and it does not take much time to create a logo which would look great for any company.
The only problem I had which isn’t a problem is figuring out which one I liked the best of all the cards.
