We Have A Winner

Well I finally committed to a new custom domain name. I'm still sad that I no longer have "allaboutbentley.com", but thanks to Mark and his suggestions, I've decided upon "www.whosyourbentley.com". And for coming up with the winning name, Mark will receive ... well nothing, but I do appreciate him coming up with it. I'm guessing it was a take off of the days when I sold T-Shirts online that said "Whos Ya Daddy?" on them. I had to stop though because it was some sort of copyright infringement or something. Anyway thats a different story. Now I guess I need to make a new logo for the top of my page.

Senseo #2

Guess what boys and girls....remember when I won the Senseo Coffee maker ? I filled out a second " Share Senseo " questionnaire and today received my email confirming I had won...again. HA! Except they do a little bit of cross-verification and won't deliver to the same address twice. So this one is going to my mother-in-laws house. Got to keep those brownie points up ya know. And that tells me if you didn't get one the first time, try again...and again and again.

Priorities

My front windshield has been covered in grime for about the last 2 weeks making it a little tricky to see when driving into the sun. I'm out of washer fluid so during lunch I went to Albertsons to fill my car up, and then I went inside the store to get a new bottle of fluid. When I found out it was $2.50 I said no thank you, paid $2.39 for my Monster energy drink, and went on my way. Update: I hate having to explain things, that takes all the fun out of it and it taints my post, but you can get a big bottle of washer fluid for about $1 at Wal-Mart. That's why I didn't buy it at Albertsons. How is Albertsons even still in business?

Home-ro

Last night Deborah and I got home from the store to find the kids had a special surprise for us. The back porch was cleaned off and the patio table was set, complete with table cloth, paper floral arrangement, and a snack and drink for each of us. The sign on the table indicated we were dining at "The Casa". I mentioned that we were eating at our own little Bistro. Zane corrected me, we were in fact eating at a "Home-ro.

New Domain Name

I recently made the discovery that Blogger (the kind folks hosting this here blog) can host a blog under your own domain name. So instead of "allaboutbentley.blogspot.com", this blog could be accessed at "www.allaboutbentley.com". Only problem is, I let that name expire, and some yahoo snatched it up. So now I'm searching for new ideas for a domain name that reflects my family name. Every domain I've come up with so far is taken: "bentley.com", "scottbentley.com", "thebentleys.com" etc. I could do something like "allaboutbentley.info" but those are cheesy, and no one would remember them. So, if you have any good suggestions, feel free to send them my way.

1st Day of School

School has finally started. All 3 of our kids are now in school, with Zane starting Kindergarten today. Kindergarten always starts 2 days later than all the older grades in Edmond. I think Mom is having a pretty rough time with Zane finally going to school, but she'll be all right once the routine is going.

It's Magic

I have this oddity at my house, something I haven't wanted to mention for fear of being an outcast. We have a magic box at our house. Seriously. I know right now you're thinking, "What is this freak talking about?". Well I guess if you're still reading, then you must be interested....so read on. There is a red box that lives in my closet. It's an old box, I've had it for about 20 years. It's not really a box...more of a basket. It's plastic and has an open top. I'm not sure where it came from, I think China. It sits on the floor at the back of my closet. Every morning I throw dirty clothes in it. Every night they're clean and put away. It's the most amazing thing. I love my magic box.
