Update to: Life in Round Rock about to get a little bit sweeter… The dust has settled at the Dunkin' Donuts at A.W. Grimes and Gattis School Road, so I took the girls over for their first Donut. It was a ho-hum experience for me personally - the reception was less than friendly. At least, less th

Another victory goes to A/R! I am happy to have found the Facebook Tips Group. Over Thanksgiving, I decided to give Facebook a whirl (over myspace) mainly because my cell phone has more options for supporting facebook when I am out and about. I was really excited to start and I sent Facebook in

OK, folks: It's 2009 and the Holidays are over. You have most likely been back to work for a few days by now. The kids are back to school. So I hate to be the one to have to tell you this, but some one has to do it: It's time to take down your Christmas Decorations. As a supporter of decorat

Yesterday, I received news that some of my furnishings were finally coming back to me. They had been on lease to a fellow stager since March who needed some furnishings. They were provided to her at a very reasonable rate in exchange for furnishings to be named later in my time of need. Well,

Yesterday, I was reading Beth Lester's Blog on the length of terms offered in Staging contracts. During my reply, I realized I was on a rant, so I deleted it and decided to blog the topic instead. It has taken me considerable time and effort to construct the content of my Staging Services Contra

The State of Texas published a short article on how Sales and Use Tax applies to Home Stagers. Many of the local Stagers have been bending the rules for years. But it seems the Comptroller of Public Accounts has taken notice of our existence and incorporated some guidlines into their October 20

It has been a long six or so months, but it looks as if the Dunkin' Donuts at the corner of A.W. Grimes and Gattis School Road is opening soon. Officially, I have read "Mid-November", but yesterday, the pink "D" was on the door, then the sign was up. Only thing missing is four types of hot, del
