Looking at doing a little redecorating for the apartment. I seem to be running out of room for my stuff. Not my regular stuff, but the groceries. Dry goods and stuff, things you want to buy in bulk and keep around for a bit as you use just a bit at a time. Especially if there is only one or two of you. If you buy in bulk you better have some storage otherwise there is a very good chance you will be wasting a lot of food. I tend to have that problem with vegetables when I make a run to the farmers market. I have recently been about cutting in half what I normally buy, so that I will use all of it. I do seem to just make more trips to the farmer’s market but that is ok, it gets me out and about.
I would like to have more than one bathroom, as multiple bathrooms are especially good when you have family over or if you are living with someone. Having to share one bathroom isn’t really cutting it anymore. The bathroom is one of the places I want to do a little redecorating. Just add a few bathroom accessories, like a large towel rack and a little shelf. Keep it simple. I want to drop a cabinet in my office room and in the dining room, they would help to increase organized storage and keep pets out of places they shouldn’t be going. Cardboard really doesn’t impress the guests. I currently have cardboard boxes set up to keep pets from getting to things they shouldn’t, but it doesn’t do much for giving a good image when people come over. Heck, it doesn’t do much for giving a good image every time I see it. It shouldn’t cost all that much for a couple of small cabinets and a towel rack, then I can think about drawing some pictures to put up. Really decorate the place!

I decided to stick with the guys or gals I am currently with as far as telecoms companies. Not for any particular reason other than it is easy and as you know if you read the post before I tend towards lazy. I blame my parents. (Let’s not tell them that though, ok). Anyway, it made sense as I am happy with who I am with as far as my personal lines, and I have been with them for several years so it seems like a good idea to just go with them for a business line as well. At least I know for sure how they do business.
I still like cell phones better even than the cordless home ones. I have been looking at a couple, like Panasonic KX phones but nothing that would change my mind. Now if they had a home phone that was say like Star Trek type where it almost comes out of thin air anywhere in your house, I could probably go for that. Otherwise to be honest I don’t think I see the point. At least not for me, but I am sure that there are a lot of people and businesses out there that would be happy to have the home phones, cordless or otherwise. I think the biggest advantage of having a home phone would be to have it at home and not to be there to answer it. Just let your machine get it, of course, an even better strategy would be to have a home phone and not to have an answering machine or service. Then you could just say, “uh, no, sorry, didn’t get your call. Did you leave a message? Oh, yeah, forgot.” Might be fun, though most would ask why you don’t just forward your calls, but you could plead phone ignorance. I am over that point myself, anymore I just don’t answer and if somebody ask I tend to just tell them why.
