Pictures Crazy Mom Needs Printer

Photobucket

2nd day at school this week. Told yer I was a picture crazy mom.

I used to own a 35mm camera but ever since giving birth to my lil’ brat, PB invested in a digital camera. Now that was some 4.5 yrs ago and we never looked back. The amount of photos that I had taken of Chloe and everything around me, since I need to send pictures home and to relatives, godma and grandparents included, is massive. I sometimes spend hours in a photo shop at our local mall, just to print out pictures to send out to various friends and family for special occasions. But you can imagine the crowd and the wait.. and the “I feel so bad for keeping you in line” during the festive seasons when everyone wants to do the same for their loved ones. This year, the man & I decided that we should invest in a new printer, something like an HP LaserJet 4000 (c4118a) because then we wouldn’t have to waste time waiting in lines and driving to the mall just to print out all those photos. With a good printer in our own store (we own our own business), we can even offer this additional service to our customer/s.

As always, we’ve done our little research, went to look at the printers physically and this is what we concluded. The HP LaserJet 4000 is not only the latest in printing technology it also offers enhanced quality for great pictures thus printing out smooth photo-like images. It can also print up to 17 pages per minute. While other machines take a long time just to start up, the HP LaserJet is quite fast and only takes 17 seconds to get ready, so whether we use it for the customers or ourselves, it’s efficient. It has a great print resolution thus making it great for photo printing (meaning for photo crazy moms like me). The printer tray is easy to maneuver and can hold up to 500 sheets and the memory is expandable from 4MB to 100MB. It also has an option for ethernet connections and uses a parallel connection making it compatible with most OS’s. Most importantly it is quite affordable, not more than $120 if you know where to get it. I’ll say get it if you are like me, who loves picture taking and have family and loved ones to keep in touch with.

And this is the printer [(HP LaserJet 4000 (c4118a)] we wanna get.

Subaru, An Old Friend

Subaru is an old friend. The ones I grew up with were very small and squarish. When anyone talked about a Subaru car three things came to mind – small, Japanese and affordable. But that’s not always the case anymore, in fact the new Subaru DC shop has models that cater to just about anyone from all walks of life. Whether you are a sporty type, a housewife ferrying your kids to school or just someone who needs to get to work and back, they have a model to fit your needs.

I’m sure you know that your Subaru cars are manufactured by Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. of Japan and if you are in the Washington, DC area, you are in luck because any Subaru Vehicle model you need can be found at FitzWay. In most cases at a discounted price too. There will be absolutely no need for any haggling because every vehicle is already discounted.

And you are always welcome to go test drive, compare prices and talk freely to the friendly and knowledgeable sales representatives without any obligation or pressure to buy. The new Subaru Legacy has never looked better. The new Subaru can be bought and viewed at White Flint Subaru in Rockville or at Gaithersburg Subaru.

Katelynn brings many hours of fun.. not only to Chloe.. but to me. She reminds me of the kinda life.. i wanna have.. if i can turn the clock back. Carefree, loved.. and definitely smart… this gal is. She has her life all mapped out. This year is Keegan’s last year in High School.. then she will be heading to PEI for nursing school. I’m just glad she is no longer with her ex… she deserved better.

GMC Truck

In a town full of fishermen it is not surprising to see trucks on the road all the time. But I guess it shouldn’t be of any surprise to me since the trucks are used to nets and lobster pots down to the wharf and back. I have also heard stories of our fishermen paying for their new GMC trucks in cash. I’m pretty sure owners at New GMC Manchester NH would love some customers like this too.

I know of someone who could use a new GMC truck instead of his old beat up one! And that is Grampie..! I bet my father-in-law would love the all new GMC Sierra, it’s quiet and has a spacious interior so delivering vegies and fruits to our local stores would be a lot easier and more enjoyable. Plus with the Active Fuel Management it must mean that it is not quite that expensive to run as compared to that old beat up truck he now uses. And Richard, my brother-in-law, had mentioned about the towing capacity of this all new Sierra and how it can handle just about any job. It would be very handy for his current project of building his own cabin.

Mazda CX7

We currently have a Ford Focus and in another few more months, our 5 yrs of paying for it will be over. PB is looking forward to enjoying the car finally and of course having the extra cash every month as well. But we also know we need another car now that the kid is going to school this fall. I grew up watching Mazda cars outside my grandfather’s house and am no stranger to it. Yes, it is a Japanese car and the Japanese do manufacture tons of them every year, but they are a good car and I like the styles. When I was way younger I wanted to own a Mazda RX7 but of course now at 43 this is a different story altogether.

New Mazda Manchester NH has the used Mazda CX7 that I am considering. And I hear that if you want any used Mazda 3 that is affordable without compromising the power or responsiveness of the car you must talk to the people at Werner. They do give you the best package along with the car and will always be there to answer all your queries. Whatever your price range or model preference, for your next Mazda in the Manchester NH area, you know who you have to look up.

Mercedes Benz In Washington DC Area

When it comes to cars, no one can dispute that the Mercs is one of the best in town. One of the very first cars that I drove was a Mercedes Benz C Class C180 and after driving something like that, you know that you can never drive a smoother machine. I’m sorry if I sound biased, but truth be told I would buy a Mercs anytime if I could afford it. I think everyone associate the Mercs with prestige and even though some say that they are for older men or women I beg to differ. The Merc has come a long way, besides being a smooth ride it currently has models for just about everyone in the family. I’ll take a GL-class since I need to shuttle the kid and her friends around.

So if you are looking for a new Mercs around the Arlington area, you will have to drop in at New Mercedes DC and check them out. They can get you just about any model of Mercedes you are interested in. Test drive one without any obligation and speak to the experts at American Service Center where they have hundreds of new Mercedes in the Washington DC area. They’re the people who promise to get you want you want.

Koons Toyota Camry

The Toyota Camry has come a long way, I am sure you remember your first one, the squarish looking kinda tin box that everyone was making fun of all those years ago. 1988 was the time I drove my first Camry and don’t you laugh at me now, it was still one of the best car I had that didn’t give me a lot of road trouble.. and it didn’t need a lot of gas. I was pretty happy with it. But looking at the current Camry, it sure looks awesome and stylish and is definitely something that I can see myself driving in, not afraid of being laughed at by my peers.

I saw the 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid at the 2006 Washington Auto Show and I know that at Toyota Camry Virginia not only sells new cars but reliable used ones too. From mini vans to SUVs and trucks .. if you need to haul stuff they’ve got you covered. They do complete auto servicing too. They also aid you with financing and have good offers on low percentage loan rates for your new or used car. Everything under one roof is what Koons Toyota is all about with a well stocked auto parts department. You never have to look elsewhere to get your questions answered as all their staff are experienced and ready to assist. Whatever Toyota vehicle you need with any kind of customizations and, most importantly, affordable financing is always available.

All Our Baby Products

We’ve always believed in buying quality stuff for the brat. We ourselves can use generic stuff.. but when it came to the brat.. we only buy the best. I felt kinda sad.. when I hear Keegan’s sister in law said.. that she cannot buy better stuff for her baby.. because her child benefit only allow her to buy no brand stuff. No wonder, she never did seems interested when i showed her the strollers that i would use for her baby.. a few weeks ago.

Cadillac

When you think of a Cadillac, you can’t help but think of quality and for me at least, the movie “Grease” immediately comes to mind. Yes! I saw that movie in the theater 8 times! Yes, you can call me crazy. But my grandfather used to drive a Cadillac and he sure loved that “thing”… that he called his wife (bless his soul), therefore I can identify with a Cadillac. The Cadillacs have come a long way from the classic styles to the now trendy and sporty ones for the younger consumers, and other models to cater to the family man or the housewives ferrying their kids to school and piano classes and sport games.

I guess even my grandfather would be in awe with the new Cadillacs Harrisburg PA has to offer their customers if he was alive right now. Here you find a group of very experienced and dedicated people who spent many years with one mission and goal, to make each and every customer completely satisfied. They were the few elite dealers selected to franchise the HUMMER brand in 2002 and are now similarly as proud to bring you this classic brand of car, the Cadillac. So if you are around Harrisburg PA you need to come look at all the new Cadillacs that are in stock now. Test drive one, talk to the sales people and of course check out the service team while you are at it. Nothing is more important than a great service team, trust me.. ! I had a car for the last 7 yrs from the same people and it’s great to have your car serviced by people who know it inside out.

Trash Compactor Bags

Trash compactors are popular in our homes in the west because we don’t get to throw our trash out in a general area like we do back home in Asia. Or if you live in a private estate it gets picked up outside your house everyday. Here trash is taken out every week and one week is for compost (food) and another week for garbage. So you can imagine how much garbage a family can collect within 2 weeks before we can clear it out completely to get picked up by the garbage man.

A trash compactor helps to reduce the volume of trash by up to 75% and all it needs is a little space in your kitchen or your boat, and some general maintenance. But having a trash compactor also means finding the right kind of trash compactor bags for it. At Trash-Compactor-Bags.com they have a wide range of household compactor bags for brands including Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire, KitchenAid and more.

Ordering online is easy peasy and shipping by UPS is within 2 days so you will never run out of trash compactor bags. Speed and efficiency are their middle names and every order shipped out is checked for accuracy both in quantity and the quality of the bags you ordered. You can depend on them for all your trash compactor supplies, not just the bags, for they also have accessories and parts to cater to your needs. I love the carrying caddy best and with this I don’t have to be afraid of dirtying my kitchen floor any more. Awesome..! Check out their best value on 60 pack boxes..! Order now.. and get a free wine opener with every purchase.
