If you are ever in the position of having to buy a REALLY classy gift for a man, such as the retiring CEO of your company or the keynote speaker at your company’s annual convention, there is a place on the internet worth bookmarking and going to for that very special gift.

Tateossian of London is known for their elegance and style in men’s accessories, such as cuff links, money clips, and fine writing instruments.

At the Las Vegas convention for commercial real estate owners and brokers, we have a variety of high level guests each day, including world champion boxer, A-list movie stars, politicians (active and retired), and the CEOs of many of the Fortune 50 companies. To present a thank you gift to people of this caliber, you need a unique and memorable gift item, such as Silver Cufflinks or for a women, a nice necklace or earrings with precious stones or pearls.

If you count on Tateossian of London for your special gift, your VIP and your organization or group of friends will never be disappointed.

I love the Extreme Makeover shows – they come up with amazing ideas and I love to watch the progression of the workers. And Ty Pennington is very easy on the eyes.

When I found a website that sells blinds and had some of their blinds featured on the Extreme Makeover shows, I thought, BINGO! This is what I want to look at and find something for my own home!

Blinds are available in so many different styles and materials now, that there is no excuse for having bare windows. The different wood blinds are my favorite, and they even have the 1″ wood blinds that are perfect for French Doors.

The website has a little tool that makes estimating a breeze. If you are looking for any type of blinds and want to save some serious money, take a look at the Select Blinds site while they have their 25% off sale underway.

Last night’s movie was a total chick flick, “Under the Tuscan Sun” with Diane Lane. A college professor discovers her husband is cheating on her and gets divorced. He gets the house and everything in it. She falls into a deep depression, and her girlfriend intervenes by sending her on a trip to Italy. She comes across a house by chance and ends up buying it and trying to make a new life for herself in Italy.

What a cool idea. I’d like to skip the cheating husband and divorce and depression part, but I’m down with going to Europe. If any of you friends want to send me to Europe – perhaps France? – I will certainly be glad to go.

While in France I promise to take the time to look for a house or french property to buy. I got a head start on the project by looking online and used a site called medhead.com to preview homes and property all around Europe.

They show over 7000 properties for sale and rent in France, Spain, and Italy. This site even translates all of the property information into different languages for you. I thought that was pretty cool.

So, send me to Europe, won’t you?

How nice it would be if our Government one day gave out loans for people to get energy efficient cars or trucks and to help with getting loans in order to make everyones home more energy efficient. And not just some sort of tax credit but but actual loans in order to buy better earth friendly products. I for one would take a loan to get a better more fuel efficient car and would love to take a loan in order to get solar panels put on the roof of my home.

Some of the things I have done on my own around the house in order to make things a little better for the environment is to change out all my standard light bulbs with energy efficient LED light bulbs. What are some of the things you are doing to help the environment and what are some of the things you wish our Government would do to help out?

Some of you have mentioned the fact that you have seen on my sidebar a new name and so i wanted to introduce my new blog roll person so everyone can understand why i choose to add her to my blog roll and not you or someone else. First thing is Sandy, or Urster is what we call her by, has been my friend since a child and we do and share pretty much everything in life.

I really enjoy reading her blog so I wanted to share her blog with my readers, in hopes that you may like it to.
