Planning the perfect date

With Valentine's day right upon us it's crunch time for all the guys out there to come up with that special plan to show the love of their life their appreciation for putting up with us on a daily basis. Now most guys have no idea how to wine and dine a lady, we basically get lost if it's not turning at the golden arches so it's important for us to know where to look for help when looking for New York Restaurants. The team from villagevoice have developed the must have tool to help us guys out. This site allows you to search for restaurants based on Neighborhood, budget, type of food and even the atmosphere which is a great help. They also provide you with thoughtfull, honest reviews of the various restaurants to help you plan the perfect date night and score some brownie points with the lady.

Renovation Heaven

I have spend the last 2 weekends doing renovations on the kitchen area, well actually I have replaced the doors to the bedroom and bathroom that are off the kitchen. It was really needed as the doors were original house equipment, probably 50 years old and looked and worked aweful. I know my wife really appreciates all the time I take in doing these projects even if she doesn't say it or show it in so many words. I find it satisfying doing these improvements myself and having them turn out.

Time for Shopping

I have been wanting a new TV for my entertainment room for a couple of years but it has always taken a back seat to the other bills in the house. With a bonus from work this year I am trying to budget a new television into the plan. I was amazed at all the different tvs that are out there these days. I am excited to be able to make some changes to my room with a new flat screen TV that will mount onto the wall and takes up so much less space. It seems like the logical thing to go to a the new format tv with all the digital tv channels that are available I have to get out and start looking for what I want in a TV. The starting point is trying to decide between an lcd tv and a plasma TV. I can't wait to sit back and watch my favorite movies and shows like CSI on my new TV. I am lucky to be off this weekend so I will be looking to do some price comparison shopping to see if I can make up my mind on what TV to get.

Valentines is coming!

What will you be doing for your sweetie this year for Valentines, are you traditional and go with flowers and candy?. There is a lot of discussion around this year that many people will be conserving funds and trying to be romantic at home. I'm sure this is to the disappointment of all service industries like restaurants and theatres that are used to a big night out for couples. I'm curious, let me know what your plans are for this year.

A different Education

During these tough economic times it may be time for you to look for ways to make yourself more attractive to potential employers or to make you more of an asset to your current employer.

Snow, snow go away.

It has snowed here everyday this week, it seems like all I'm doing is going to work and shoveling the driveway. It's going to continue the next few days to going through the weekend. I guess it's just one of those things you can't control, one good thing is that the kids have been enjoying the sleding hills and their cabin in the back yard that we built under the trampoline.

My dog is driving me crazy!

I have a wonderful beagle pup, she is about 8 months old and while she is a very loving pup she is a big pain in the a**. She is always digging in the garbage looking for things to rip apart or eat. She also likes to chew everything fabric except her toys. She has eaten blankets, pillows, clothes, socks, my wife's sneakers errrr. One night she even ate a hole through my wife's electric throw, probably got a good shock from that one as it was plugged in and warming at the time she chewed through it. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do with this little wonderful dog.
