It has been a insane month. I haven’t had a weekend at home yet in the past 4 or so weeks. I have so much catching up to do. I just feel as if it has all spiraled into what will take the better part of a day or two to get things back in order. I think I am going to take a day off this week. (I did have to work this weekend)

Something that has changed the way I live is a budget. I cook nearly every meal and hardly go out. That means that recently and I mean with in the last year or so I have started to accumulate kitchen appliances. I have the basics but one thing I lack is a real mixer. Sure I have one of those hand held ones that makes me nervous that everything is going to go flying. My grandma had a neat stand up one that pulled out of its own drawer. I figured for fun I would shoot a little video infomercial and tell you about this new Hamilton Beach® Eclectrics® Mixer. This new Hamilton Beach® Mixer is pretty awesome, not only does it have all the pro features you would expect but they look amazing as well, it comes in 7 different colors and is definatly something you don’t hide under the counter. Now check out my video for the new Hamilton Beach® Stand Mixer

It is that time of the month again. It is the time when just about every bill I have is due. I have my truck payment due pretty soon. I lucked out on that since I recently graduated college when I bought it I managed to get a good rate on the loan. If It was higher than it is I would probably be about ready to use rate genius to lower my rate. They do other stuff too like refinance used car loan s and they manage to get use the power of the net to find the best lender for the job. Save money on your monthly payments. I need to sit down and just pay the bills and be done with it.

NBC dropped it’s youtube.com channel. That is severly lame since it was such a great way to catch up on stuff that I had missed and it was a great place to find fun stuff for the blog from time to time. They are getting ready to launch their own yout tube like thing soon called HULU (stupid name) and I am sure this move is a part of this new development that they are doing.

On the way home from Dallas we passed by a few modular home dealers (is that what you call them) Anyways before I moved here my dad and I went down to one to check them out because I was thinking about getting one on some land here and that would solve the housing problem. I was surprised since now they are so nice inside which honestly I didn’t expect.
At the ranch the couple that lives up near the river lost their house in a flood and they bought a modular home to replace their older traditional home and I visited them for the first time in a long while and was again impressed at how neat it was. I think there is a stereotype out there that doesn’t match up with the reality of these homes.
If I ever get around to getting some land somewhere I would get one to put on it so I would have a neat get away type place out in the country.

I have returned home to the hill country after a good 4 days away from work. I did a bunch of stuff in Dallas and it was good to see everyone again and spend time with family. Did stuff at the Dallas Museum of art and went to Dave and Busters and had a pretty good time all around. I am glad to be back though, yet I did come home to a house in need of some clean up. I can get to that after work today.

I have been putting this off for long enough. Investing that is. I of course through my camp don’t get any sort of retirement program (besides having the ability to be the old guy at camp that still gets fed and rides around on a golf cart) Something I hadn’t thought of (because I never looked until today) was investing with trust deeds. I didn’t know much about them until a little bit ago. Was reading how big of a return you can get off of these. Real Estate Trust Deed investments can bring in a high margin of return and apparently not a bunch of risk. So how much? Could be around 12%! Ya I was thinking the same thing, why aren’t I already doing this? I could use this for retirement, when that day comes it would be nice to have a nice financial backing for all my many elderly adventure. Thoughts? Found out all this stuff over at the Diamond Bay website, which can do a heck of a lot better explaining this stuff than me.
