The passion for design is one of those things we need to create and design a really cool workspace. The intriguing thing about interior design is looking at space and seeing what you would do with it, then asking others. We have limited design perspective due to the small space we work in, which make it a challenge and fun. We have decorated this space plenty of times watching the PASSION PROFILES series has those fires burning again.

President Obama bails out on change again

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

This President told us he would change Washington. He said it was going to be different. Today was another example of how nothing changed and everything is the same as it ever was. The House pushed through an emergency $26 billion jobs bill that Democrats said would save 300,000 teachers, police and others from election-year layoffs. President Barack Obama immediately signed it into law. The troublesome thing is these people do not understand you cannot keep spending at sometime you have to cut. They never do and look like never will. If we need to give money to fund unemployment, and the stimulus then somebody has give back. We understand losing 300,000 teachers and police is bad. Does anyone really believe that number? Does anyone think the union would let it happen? This one-day expensive session was a giveaway to teacher union and another example of wasteful Washington spending. The vote was 247-161 the only good news is the aid for the states is to be paid for mostly by closing a tax loophole used by multinational corporations and by reducing food stamp benefits for the poor. The legislation provides $10 billion to school districts to rehire laid-off teachers and an additional $16 billion would extend for six months increased Medicaid payments to the states. That would free money for states to meet other budget priorities, including keeping more than 150,000 police officers and other public workers on the payroll. Today your government spent another $26 billion they did not have to give money to states that already spent it and factored into their budgets when will it end when does it stop?

Motel vs. Hotel

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

When it comes to staying at hotel or a motel there is only one factor, cost. If you had the money you would always stay at a hotel. We tried to convince our self that there is no difference. We based this on when you are on vacation you are never in your room. This did not work because when you are in your room you are in a motel. The hotel has plenty of nice amenities the motel might have an ice machine and a candy machine. Hotels for the most part are kept up to date and freshly painted especially the major chains. Motels are old dingy and usually run down. The last motel we stayed at had an actual key for the room, a key you cannot get any more old school than that. We always say after we stay in a motel and deal with these things along with a creepy pool, other guests with five to eight kids. That leads to the other thing about motels the room’s walls a paper thin. When you stay a hotel you can make as much noise as you want but also not be kept up at night by the next room. Still the only reason is cost and the motels was $97 the hotel was $148, but maybe we should have stayed a day less and had a better nights sleep.
