So I'm a dork...
We had an issue with our furnace, where it was only blowing cold air, but once in a while it would blow heat. We thought at first it may have been the thermostat, but after installing a new one MYSELF the issue continued.
I broke down yesterday to call a Heating/AC guy to come in. It took me forever to do it though, my anxiety kicks in, and I worry because hubby isn't at home to deal with it, he's at work, I have to deal with it myself. I have to make the call, I have to be here with my girls while some strange man comes into our home... It freaks me out, it makes me think of horror films, it makes me want to watch a self defense video and take some self defense training to protect myself and my girls.
I know, most places are bonded, the one I picked was, they were good with the BBB, and I know I shouldn't have to worry about crap like that, but I do! I hate having anxiety issues and thinking the worst of everything... Maybe I should take up smoking cigars or something to calm me down sometimes..
Anyways the guy came this morning, he was a super nice older man, fixed the issue, which was the burners and sensor had to be cleaned, an easy fix, a small cost and we've now got HEAT! Thankfully, he was honest, even told me last night when I called that if he came out that night he'd have to charge me time and a half, so he wanted to know if he wanted me to wait till morning or come that night, we chose to wait till morning.
The house didn't get too cold thankfully, we were all snuggled up in bed with tons of blankets nice and warm!

Ahh Memories...
With Christmas on the way, we've been trying to de-clutter the house. New things coming in means old things going out!
As I opened up the closet in the guest room, I was bombarded with boxes, so I went through them all one by one, and what did I find inside, baby clothes! My kids are now 4 (almost 5) and 7, they're long past that stage, and we're done, no more babies for us, yet I still want to hold onto them. Seeing how small the girls used to be, made me happy yet sad at the same time...
It's time to move on, I'm keeping a few of them for keepsakes, but the rest it's time to pass on to some other little ones that need them....

A Unique Christmas Idea....
So many companies now a days require that their employees have their company Ids on them at all times. Most Ids need to be swiped on a daily basis or used constantly for identification throughout the day so using an old ID lace can be pretty pointless.
The most effective and useful item to use when it comes to having to carry around your ID card is a retractable badge reel. These come in many different shapes, with different features and functions. From office workers, schools or entertainment events, if having your identification available at all times is important a retractable badge reel comes in handy.
These can be attached to your belt or even a piece of your clothing, it's always accessible to you. Even if you're at an event or need to hide your ID at times, you can attach the badge to you so it's discreet. Badge Reel's can also be used to hold other items such as keys, as long as they're heavy duty reels.
Some people even customize their lanyards and badge holders. Some companies may even customize them for you and have special designs and unique holders that reflect their business, school or institution. Sometimes a customized look gives more sophistication and a sleeker design to your holder.
Most holders can be purchased in a circular or rectangular shape, but sometimes if you're able to customize them you're able to choose from more interesting shapes such as a heart, star, or more.
Holders may be the perfect Christmas gift for that one person you have no idea what to get them, if they're with a company, organization or institution that requires them to hold their ID with them at all time, a customized holder may be the perfect gift! Something unique to them, something they're not expecting.
