My friend Linda wants to start a Personal Chef business.  She’s been doing a lot of research about it and thinks that there would be a good market for it where she lives.  She’s always loved to cook, and I have to admit that she’s never cooked a meal that I didn’t like!  I think that’s a great idea for a business for her!  So she’s in the process of getting set up with marketing and planning her service contracts, etc.

She asked me to help her to put up her website.  So I’ve arranged to get her URL for her and am now looking into the right website hosting service for her to use.

I like the webhostinggeeks.com website because they rank and rate a lot of the best hosting services.  I especially like their green webhosting reviews; I want to throw business to any company that is working proactively towards improving our environment!

I like how they explain what green webhosting is, and how it can help protect our environment.  Their list of green hosting companies shows some are wind or solar powered, some are carbon neutral, and some claim to be 300% green.  And I find it very appealing that the rates for these green website hosting companies are very reasonable.

This summer has been unusually rainy so far. Doesn’t seem like a day goes by where it doesn’t rain! It is really hard to keep the lawn mowed and looking good because the lawn is so wet all of the time! Although it is possible to mow a wet lawn, it just doesn’t look as nice. A lot of people are acting cranky, too, from lack of sunlight I guess! And everyone that I know that suffers from arthritis has been telling me that they have been suffering a lot from the rainy weather. We don’t get a long summer here, so we are really feeling the pain of all of this rain!

Just when you think you’ve heard of everything, you hear of a dating website for horse lovers!  My cousin Stacy tells me that she has found out about a dating club for horse lovers and she has taken advantage of their offer of FREE sign-up to see if she might be able to meet “Mr. Right.”  My hubby butted in with his “two cents” and said he thought she was more likely to meet “Mr. Ed!”  (Smart aleck!)

When we finished laughing, Stacy told me that she heard about the website from a friend of hers and she decided to check it out.  Stacy claims that it is a social networking group for horse lovers that want to meet other horse lovers, and it doesn’t have to just be people looking for romance, it could also be for people who just want to make new friends who share their love of horses. Besides, having an equestrian cupid might not be so awful!

Stacy has always loved horses and rides whenever she gets the chance.  She’s been talking about buying her own horse someday and has started to look around to see where she could board it when she gets one.  She’d love to find someone to go riding with!

My hubby gave me a pair Acorn Slippers yesterday.  The wool slipper socks that are so comfy and warm.  His boss brought them home with him from a business trip to Binghamton New York, where he had stopped in at Hank’s Clothing to say hello to an old friend.  While he was there he bought several pairs of the slippers because they were on sale for a good price.  It’s nice that his boss brings home gifts like that for his staff when he travels! 

 He said that he knew that I had been struggling to keep my feet warm, and with the cold snap we are having, he wanted me to have the slippers.  He said that his friend that works at Hanks recommended them for their warmth and comfort.

I like to wear pierced earrings, but I tend to wear small and lightweight earrings.  I find that the large and heavy ones hurt my ears.  I always wonder how other women can stand wearing the heavy ones!  Every now and then I see someone who has a very large hole in their earlobe from their ear being stretched from wearing such heavy earrings!  I shudder when I see people like that!

I have a good friend Beth who was one of my college roomies.  Beth lives in Pennsylvania now.  She has worn so many heavy earrings in her pierced ears that she has actually ripped open one of her ears.  It looks terrible!  I thought that Beth was going to have to just live with that torn earlobe the rest of her life, but she called me and told me that she recently found out that there is a cosmetic surgery procedure that can be done to repair torn earlobes! 

Beth told me to check out the website of the doctor that she wants to do the procedure; the website of the Philadelphia Plastic Surgeon Dr. Emily Pollard.  Dr. Pollard is Certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and the American Board of Surgery.  She is also the Chief of Plastic Surgery at Lankenau Hospital on the Main Line in Philadelphia. 

I was just reading over her website and saw that she is highly educated and highly respected.  She certainly seems to be a great choice for my roomie to turn to!  I can’t wait to see a picture of how her ear looks after she gets it fixed!
