Whether you’re considering staying in town this Labor Day to save some money, or to avoid heavy crowds and traffic (or perhaps just beat the heat), here are some ideal ideas for a Labor Day staycation.
1. Been putting anything off?
Often times, we hear about a new restaurant, a new exhibit at a museum, or a new local activity and we say “we should really check that out.” If you’re planning a Labor Day staycation, this would be a great time to visit some of those places you’ve been wanting to experience.
2. Have a gourmet BBQ
Instead of the same old hot dogs and burgers, why not try something different on the ultimate grilling weekend? Try combinations like pineapple and scallops, high-end steaks, gourmet sausages, or exotic grilled vegetables. You can find excellend recipes for at-home grilling here at RecipeZaar or FoodNetwork.com.
3. Pick a museum (or two)
Museums offer an excellent way to escape the heat and have a fun and educational experience. For a list of local museums in your area, visit http://www.artcyclopedia.com/museums.html or type “local museums” and your city name into your favorite web search site.
4. Rent a projector
For the ultimate indoors experience for Labor Day, why not rent a DVD projector and spend some quality time together as a family? Relax with your favorite movies, enjoy reminiscing over old home movies, bring on the heat with a family gaming tournament, or all of the above. Plus, when you combine a projector rental with any of the above options, you’re sure to have a blast and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Ready to host your in-house Labor Day staycation? Start here by ordering a rental projector from Projector123.com. It’s fast, easy, affordable, and fun.

Looking for fun and innovative ways to spend Independence Day this year? Whether you’re on the road or planning a stay-cation at home, here are some tips that are sure to liven up this festive weekend celebration.
Liven up Your BBQ
Instead of just a tired old 4th of July BBQ, why not spice things up with an outdoor movie festival? Grab your favorite summer flicks and set up a rental projector to display films on a hung sheet or even on the side of the house. Neighbors from near and far are sure to stop by to join in the fun when they see classic films on display in larger-than-life format. Everyone loves dining al fresca, and the only thing that can top it is the picnic-and-a-movie combination. Remember to pop some popcorn for adults and kids alike.
Bring the Fun Indoors
While July 4th is traditionally an “outdoor” holiday, there’s no reason why the fun can’t travel indoors during the hottest part of the day (or once the sun goes down). With a rental projector, you can create your very own film festival, Wii competition, or trip down memory lane featuring your favorite home movies. Your guests will appreciate a chance to get out of the heat with a cool and fun indoor celebration.
Party into the Evening Hours
This year, July 4th falls on a Sunday, but with many folks off of work the following day, there’s no reason not to extend party time into the evening hours. Got a pool? You can easily set up your own swim-in theater with a blank wall or a big white sheet, a rental projector, and the family’s most cherished movies. If you’d prefer to wind things down in the evening, you can set up the kids and teens with an outdoor movie while the adults retire inside for some grown-up beverages and scintillating conversation.
Host a Block Party
Hosting a block party is easier than you may think – the main thing to remember is to apply for whatever permits are required by your local town, city or county government. Block party permits are typically free (or with just a nominal fee) and you might need a security officer. It’s that simple to coordinate a neighborhood party, block off the streets from motorized traffic, and start a celebration. A rental projector adds a nice touch, entertaining kiddies and adults alike.
No matter how you choose to celebrate Independence Day this year, you’ll certainly find countless uses for a rental projector from Projector123.com. Click here to rent a projector now and see how easy it is to bring an affordable, professional grade projector into your home or back yard today.

This bit of wisdom was borrowed from http://halfthedeck.com — We thought you would enjoy some Father’s Day humor. Have a happy one!
Top Ten Things You’ll Never Hear a Dad Say
10. Well, how ’bout that?… I’m lost! Looks like we’ll have to stop and ask for directions.
9. You know Pumpkin, now that you’re thirteen, you’ll be ready for unchaperoned car dates. Won’t that be fun?
8. I noticed that all your friends have a certain “up yours” attitude . . . I like that.
7. Here’s a credit card and the keys to my new car — GO CRAZY.
6. What do you mean you wanna play football? Figure skating not good enough for you, son?
5. Your Mother and I are going away for the weekend … you might want to consider throwing a party.
4. Well, I don’t know what’s wrong with your car. Probably one of those doo-hickey thingies — you know — that makes it run or something. Just have it towed to a mechanic and pay whatever he asks.
3. No son of mine is going to live under this roof without an earring — now quit your belly-aching, and let’s go to the mall.
2. Whaddya wanna go and get a job for? I make plenty of money for you to spend.
1. Father’s Day? aahh — don’t worry about that — it’s no big deal.

Did you know that more greeting cards are sent and more flowers are delivered for Mother’s Day than for Valentine’s Day? If you think about it, it makes sense since not everyone has a lover, but nearly everyone has a mother.
If you’re looking for a special way to appreciate Mom this year, here are three unusual ideas.
1. Take her on a walk down memory lane.
Gather the photo books, make some scans and put together a family slideshow just for mom. It’s easy to drop these scans onto CD-ROM or DVD, set it to music, and showcase the slide show on Mother’s Day with a rental projector and a blank wall. Then Mom gets a keepsake DVD she can replay any time she chooses. You might decide to include clips from favorite films or home movies, childhood photographs, her wedding pictures (or yours!), funny moments, photos of loved ones who’ve passed away, or anything that would make mom feel warm and cozy inside.
2. Bring the movie theater home to her living room.
Imagine the delight on your mother’s face as she sees her favorite classic films projected onto her biggest living room wall! With rates starting at just $99 per weekend, you can surprise your mom with a rental projector from Projector123.com. She can have a good cry during Breakfast at Tiffany’s or swoon over Jimmy Stewart as her favorite flicks are displayed in theater size and quality. Gather your siblings and Mom’s relatives for family favorites like “Father of the Bride” or “Terms of Endearment” and pop a huge batch of popcorn as everyone settles in and gets comfy. Mom will love having the whole family together again, just like old times.
3. Give the gift of technology.
Can’t be present with her on Mother’s Day? Purchase a gift certificate from Projector123.com so she can choose which weekend to hold her very own “film festival.” She’ll love you for it!
However you choose to celebrate Mother’s Day, it all starts here with a rental projector from Projector123.com. Click here to get started.

Have a safe and happy new year from your friends at Projector123.com
If you’re like approximately 90% of the American population, you firmly resolve to accomplish specific results each January, yet your interest wanes within about 3-8 weeks. Perhaps you are so disappointed in past results that you lack the will to even set New Year’s Resolutions at all. Well, don’t despair. Here are some practical hints to help you maintain your resolve all year long.
The most common New Year’s Resolutions include fitness goals and smoking cessation. Many people also vow to “get organized” once and for all (as if it were a one-time event!) If “getting organized” were a one-time activity, a lot more people would achieve that goal. Unfortunately, it requires a constant choice to “get” and “remain” organized.
Step one in your nuts-and-bolts guide to “setting goals that stick” is to figure out exactly what you want. Here’s a hint: you don’t want to lose weight, get out of debt or get organized. Perhaps what you really want is to look sexy, feel healthy, be in control of your finances and live life without stress. You’ll get far better results when you focus on what you do want instead of what you don’t want.
Figure out exactly what you want to be, do or have, and get specific about it. Do some research if you have to. If you dream of taking a luxurious vacation to an exotic locale, stop dreaming and start taking action that will get you there.
Start with a little research on the internet, at your local bookstore or library and by talking to people who’ve been there. For example, which countries do you want to visit? Which cities in each country? What national or historical landmarks do you have a burning desire to experience? What time of year is best for the geographic area? What documents or immunizations will you need? What languages are spoken and do you need to learn these or can you get by in English? Start getting really clear on what you want to get out of this once-in-a-lifetime vacation you’ve been wanting.
That should keep you busy until our next installment which covers how to get what you want.
