Karen’s Opinion

I am not the most up to date person when it comes to technical devices. My kids got me an iPod Shuffle for my birthday back in February and I am just now getting the hang of how to use it. I was only able to turn it on and listen to each song as it went from one to another. Now, I have learned how to fast forward to the next song and change the volume!

If you are like me, you have high expectations when you pick out paint, only to be disappointed when the color is on the wall. Why is it so difficult to pick out paint?

It does not have to be difficult any longer. By simply going to www.glidden.comRoomPainter you will find that picking out the right color of paint is a breeze.

We watched a cute movie, Leap Year, starring Amy Adams and Matthew Goode. I enjoyed this movie! The woman that Amy portrays decides, after hearing that it is okay to propose to a man on Leap Day, she is going to get a ring on her finger by asking her long time, dragging his feet boyfriend to marry her. According to Irish tradition, a woman can propose to a man on February 29 during a leap year. She travels to Dublin where her boyfriend is attending a conference. Every type of setback is thrown in her path. Figuring out the phones, rail systems and other travel methods is an adventure that is fun to watch. I enjoyed watching Amy walk on very rough terrain in the highest heels you can imagine. The bits of romance were very nice. I had never heard of Matthew Goode but my daughter has seen him in other movies. He was nice to look at. A very funny movie with beautiful scenery. I recommend it!

My friend, Rebecca has been keeping us updated on her blog as she remodels her kitchen. I am so jealous. I still have harvest gold appliances and a dinged up porcelain sink.

I would love to have a new stainless steel kitchen sink. They are so easy to take care of and never go out of style. I would recommend buying stainless steel kitchen sinks from MR Direct because they are Better Business Bureau accredited, offer same day shipping, and offer extremely low prices. As their name states, they ship direct so you save money! Their website gives information on how to clean and maintain a stainless steel sink to keep it looking nice for a long time.

I don’t see any remodeling this year but I will definitely keep MR Direct in my favorites so that, when I am ready, I can use their website to buy a fully warrantied, quality sink at a low price.

Luckily, our dogs are very adaptable. They let us put them in purses and carry them around.

And they learn to use a doggy door so that they can come and go as they please. That saves us from having to get up from our sewing machines and laptops to let the dog out.
