Anyone Heard of Ooma?

It's a phone company found here.

If you know anything about it, good or bad, let me know.  It sounds good to me, but I gotta know if it really is.

Vacation Recommendations??

Okay people...I need to know where your favorite vacation was. Not where you would like to go, but where you recommend, based on your own good experience, we (including the kids) should go.

Thanks!

Bachelorette

First off, I got a GPS...Garmin 885T.  I really like it, but because much of the area where we live is new, the data isn't updated.  I even downloaded the most recent map update and it's still not current enough.  The hospital where Henry was born was built over a year ago and it's not listed!  I figure maybe it's okay that my Target isn't listed, but a hospital should be updated!  

Anyway...what I really wanted to talk about is...The Bachelorette!

I like Jake, Michael, and Ed.

Jake is a pilot.  He's the one who got to see Martina McBride with Jillian.  He is just so cute and he seems so genuine and nice and like he would just treat her so sweet!  He seems like such a gentleman.  I like him the best.  He's got the cute side smile goin' on.

Michael is the breakdance teacher from New York.  He's a cutie and I think he seems like such a nice guy and really  funny too.  I think they would have a lot of fun together.  She hasn't had a one-on-one date with him yet though, so I need to know more about him still.

Ed is the one who did the rope climb off the building.  He seems fun and pretty nice.  But, I think he might be a little bit too wrapped up in his career.  He did say it was something he was working on though.

Oh, and Kiptyn seems pretty cool too, but I need to know more.

Okay...on to who I don't like...Tanner P, Wes, Dave, and Juan. 

Tanner and his feet fetish...crazy!  I understand liking feet, but he is so obsessed!  He said he wanted to suck on her toes...gross!  It's a little weird, actually, I think it's a LOT weird!

Wes is the country singer.  I think he's kinda cute, but I don't trust him.  There's just something about him.  I can't realy put my finger on it yet.  He is also very possessive of her already, which is a little much.  Sure she is flattered by the song, but he might just want the exposure for his career.  I say no more roses for Wes.

Dave is the one who hates Juan.  Enough drama already!  Geez!  You are like 100 times worse than a girl!  He has such a temper and swears like crazy.  Not really a gentleman.  Let him go!  Oh, and just a side note:  when he gets mad his eyes pop out like Molly's from Bachelor's last season!

Juan is the guy Dave hates.  He's just not very manly.  He seems kinda sissy to me.  He can go too.

So...who do you like and not like???

Working Out

I have been doing the work out video "30 Day Shred" by Jillian Michaels, The Biggest Looser trainer.  It has 3 levels and I'm doing level 3 now and looking for maybe something else.  I would do something more serious like P90X, but I don't have that much time in a day to work out.  I really love this video because I got results and the workout only takes 20 minutes.  Moral of the story:  I want an intense workout that doesn't take long.

The other day I saw a minute of an infomercial for "Melt it off with Mitch" (3 Day Melt.com).  It looks pretty cheese, but I kinda wanna try it.  Anyone have any experience with it?

Opinions Please

Okay, so I've been in the market for a GPS for a while now and Costco has some on an awesome sale so I think now is the time to buy.  I've read reviews, but they are all inconsistent.  It sounds like pretty much it doesn't matter the brand, all GPS devices work well but occasionally get mixed up and have little glitches with directions.  So I want your opinions...

Is one brand superior to the others, Tom Tom, Garmin, Magellan?

This is the one I've been eyeing...Garmin 855

I like how it has the view of the signs from the road.  I believe this is the only GPS with this feature.

Then, there is this one...Magellan 5310

It's cheaper and it got a little better reviews.

Or, Amazon is always a good buying research source.

I don't know!!!  Please give me opinions and suggestions on these or any other GPS devices you know about!  How does anyone decide???

I Need Your Input!

After this happened...

...we decided we better get some new kitchen chairs...

...so we got some...

Then we wanted a new kitchen table...

...so we got this...

Here are some of the decorations in our kitchen so you can get a feel for what it's like:

The table was a great DI find.  I wanted one with leaves and we found it:)  (Devin hasn't sanded the leaves yet, that's why it's still shiny.)  The chairs are from the Mesa Auction, which is my new favorite place to get furniture.  They have so much nice stuff and most of it goes for so cheap!

Now my problem is what color should we paint the table?  

As you can see, our kitchen has brown tile and countertops with maroon lower walls, black trim, and a tan upper wall color.  I'm afraid after adding these dark brown chairs, if we paint the table a dark color, it will be too much dark.  But, is an off-white/light color the best option?  Devin thought about giving it a French antiqued look.  

I will never claim to be a professional decorator, so I need to know what you people think!  Those of you with a crafty decorator eye, what should I do about the table???
