Garden Monday: Holy Zucchini Batman!

Posted on August 1, 2011 | 5 Comments

It’s time for Garden Monday at Feet Off The Table!

With all the rain we’ve had here in the last week or so, some of my plants have taken a big ol’ nose dive. I’ve had to stake each pepper plant and I’ve lost a cucumber and squash. (We had about 11 inches over the course of 4 or 5 days) But I have been able to pick some awesome cucs and squash right before it happened.

.
I’ve also just launched a new project that I think you’ll all LOOOOVE! It’s called Love Rally and I’d really appreciate it if you checked it out and joined up (it’s free of course! – plus the first 100 get a free bumper sticker! woot!)

Miscellaneous Musing: Salty

Posted on July 27, 2011 | 6 Comments

The other night I was putting away the leftovers and I came across this little opened salt packet.

I looked over at our salt shaker sitting right there next to the packet.

I said, “Shane? Did you open this salt packet?”, knowing full well he did.

“I couldn’t find any salt to fill the shaker!”

“Liar. You didn’t even OPEN up the cupboard did you?”

“No.”

**Why is it that I am the only one capable of filling up the salt shaker? It’s so simple, remove the rubber stop on the bottom, fill it up and replace the rubber stop!**

My cool new signs!

Posted on July 25, 2011 | 5 Comments

Since my husband and I operate a few businesses… some to let our family actually eat… some for fun… lol…. we often look for good quality signage to display on our vehicles. Let me tell you it’s not easy. We’ve gone through several different companies, over the 15 years that we’ve had a window cleaning company, looking for good magnetic signs for the truck. Either they are too flimsy or they weather too fast. I think we’ve finally found a place we’re happy with!

Build-A-Sign offered me a few samples to check out and tell you about. The thickness of the magnet is incredible! No flying off on the highway, that’s for sure! (And I know this because I rode around on the highway every day for a week before posting this).

If you are looking for inexpensive signage for whatever… even your blog… I’d check this place out if I were you. Very good prices too! You design everything right online and it’s very simple and quick.

Enlarge to see how nice these came out! I also got a couple of window decals that are amazing! Pics to follow, I’ve been too busy to get them up yet, but WOW they are nice!
These MAGNETIC Bumper stickers generated business on the first couple days I had them on the cars. After two days of driving around with these on, our window cleaning business got 4 estimates (and subsequent jobs) and my Zen blog got 41 additional subscribers! I know, crazy right?
