Nita's Random Thoughts

In starting a family and building your own home, acquiring a home insurance is important. Your house can also be considered an investment because you have used most of your savings in building the best house for your family. A home insurance protects you from unnecessary expenses that may occur whenever accidents in your house happen. A fire can cause huge damage on your home and it can be very costly especially if major renovations have to be made. In choosing the right home insurance provider, you must remember to choose a stable company that will provide you with the type of insurance that you need.

I love my neighborhood and my home. We moved here a few years ago because our old neighborhood was changing. The local public school was going down hill, and we knew we needed to make a change. My kids now go to a great public school,, and we have access to everything we need. We chose this neighborhood specifically because the school district is so good and the area is really nice and well taken care of. Our kids are so important to us, and we just want them to have the best opportunities. We knew that they would love it here and jumped at the opportunity to move. There is also a lot of shopping nearby, so that is really convenient for me. It would be a nightmare if I had to make a long trek every time we needed something from the store. Although I feel very comfortable in our neighborhood, I felt that I needed to add some extra security to our home, just for peace of mind. I contacted Total Alarm Systems and got our family a great home security system. I feel much better knowing that I am taking active steps to feel safer.

I lived down the street from the Augusta National Golf Course (where they host the Master’s Tournament). The Master’s is one of golf’s most revered titles. Every professional golfer dreams of winning the green jacket. Golfers that aren’t of professional caliber dream of getting to play the course. It is a private club and is very exclusive. Several years ago they couldn’t decide if they were going to let Bill Gates be a member—imagine that! I have heard crazy stories about security at the National. The security is not just adt in their club house. It is twenty-four hour staffed security. I heard a story one time that some kid hopped the fence. Within two minutes there were spotlights on him. Within ten minutes, there was a helicopter with spotlights on him. The Augusta National Golf Club doesn’t take security lightly. It is not surprising as the tickets for the Master’s Tournament are one of the hardest, if not the hardest to get in the world of professional sports. I feel lucky to have been able to go to the tournament twice! Some people will try all their lives and never get a chance to get on the course.

Oh, popcorn, popcorn, popcorn! Why are you so yummy? Wow, this is my daughter's favorite junk food, but since I know that it is not a healthy choice, I try my best to control her from eating too much. But when we are out and she would see a pop corn store, she would really insist that we buy her.

Most of the time, I give in of course or she would cry hard and we end up going home because of that. But now, I learned the trick, I make sure we don't pass by the popcorn area that often. I am just wondering how safe and clean the pop corn machine is when it comes to its oil usage for corn popping.
