I prefer to fly; my husband prefers to drive. He may be taking a trip to Phoenix to do some work and he refuses to fly there. It’s going to be one very long drive but he feels more comfortable taking his own truck.

Even though it’s a crew cab and has a full size 8-foot bed, he’s still considering adding truck racks to carry more of his tools. I think he’ll be fine without any extras but I think this is just his chance to add more fancy to his ride. Men are like that, you know.

Nick and Brit are getting close to having their apartment ready. The only rooms not completed are the kitchen and bathroom. Their cabinets are ready to be installed and their shower is waiting for tile.

They have a nice sectional sofa and are looking at Bush furniture for a compact desk solution. They have only so much room so they’ll need to put their computer in the main living area.

For the record, if they’d done the entry way how I told them, they’d have a place for the computer. But no one listens to me.

My kids give me the most interesting gifts. Today while cleaning, I was digging through a closet searching for an extra vacuum cleaner bag. That’s when I found the neat gifts 2 of my son gave to their father for Christmas: two First Aid Kits. Yes, great minds think alike.

But really, for small, affordable kits, they’re really quite nice. Everything you could need in a moderate emergency is there. As a matter of fact I’m going to claim one kit as my own and put it in my car. It’s always best to be prepared.

I’m seriously considering a new website for my husband. He’s enjoying traveling to other places for work and I love seeing new places, too. Trouble is, how to let people in, say, Utah or New Mexico know that he’s available?

The answer, of course, is a website.

My husband, though, isn’t very technology minded. So whatever I do on a website, I have to do on paper, too. He has to be able to carry his portfolio with him and right now I’m trying to organize everything. I’m looking at customized presentation folder printing to give him a professional look. I think he’ll be pleased with that.

So stay tuned for a new website. I’d tell you the domain we’re considering but I don’t want someone who happens by here to swipe it from us.

Have you heard of the hipster PDA? It’s inexpensive, cusotmizable and never loses power.

I know, we’ve all moved past the paper PDA and onto Blackberries and whatever else is out there now. My HP iPaq is still running fine. I like that I can carry it around the house easier than my laptop. But really, it’s so much easie to use a pen and paper to jot down notes and make lists.

The best version of the hipster PDA has got to be the one posted at Full Contact Geek. This guy definitely takes his hipster seriously. I particularly like his docking station.

I think I’ll throw a hipster together for the husband to take to Hawaii. He’ll thank me.
