I Ordered The Boys Footed Pajamas From The Catalog

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

The catalog that had the boys pajamas in it, was delivered to our house just last week and they have the footed pajamas that my boys need now that it is so cold outside. Our house is very old and the hardwood floors are cold when you step on them. It has been worse since there is about six inches of snow on the ground. I think that the floor is much colder now.

I knew that the footed pajamas would help the boys when they just want to run around, they do not like wearing socks and putting on shoes in the house is not allowed. I ordered them each three pairs of footed pajamas apiece; I figured that it would give me enough time to wash each of them every other day.

I tried to explain the boys pajamas to them and they both just look at me like I am silly. I guess that is what you get when you try to explain something like that to four and six year old boys. If they had grown up here in the cold north, they might understand but since we just moved here from the sunshine state, they just do not know what I am talking about.

The Food Service Company Offers Affordable Cleaning Supplies

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

The food service supplies company that we have been using for the past month just sent us an email to let us know that they also offer other products through their website. Since we had just been ordering through their catalog, of food service supplies, we did not know that. We figured that it would be worth looking into and comparing prices for the cleaning supplies since we used a small local company and they are probably a little higher priced than a company that can get bulk prices and then pass them on to their customers.

I put my secretary in charge of taking the bill from last month of the cleaning supplies that we ordered and compare the prices from the food service supplies company and what they offer. I would think that they would offer all of the same products, or they might differ a bit but should still be pretty comparable.

My secretary came back in my office later in the day and shared what she had found. According to her, we could get everything but one of the items we used, and they had something similar but not the same brand, for about two hundred dollars less each month.

How Much Search Engine Marketing Are You Doing?

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

I had to look up what search engine marketing was when the lady from the new website company asked me how much we pay a month for it. I guess if I do not know how much we pay, it is because we pay nothing. She told me that if I just started spending a little bit of money with her company to do some search engine marketing, that it could help my site to start ranking better.

I liked the sound of us ranking better and I know that you have to spend money to make money but I had already spent so much on just having the site built that I was afraid to put in anymore. She talked me into just signing a contract to buy social bookmarks and go from there. It was only five hundred dollars to buy social bookmarks from her and she told me that I should see some results, not big results, but some results.

I have let my secretary know that we will be getting an invoice for five hundred dollars and she should just go ahead and pay it since I approved the purchase myself. I explained how I was buying social bookmarks and she told me that she had heard of that, but thought that it was much more expensive than five hundred dollars. I guess that I got a good deal.
