Pine

I have some friends who have a log cabin at the river & the entire place is full of pine furniture, including pine beds. I have never been up to the cabin, but I have seen photos of it. My parents have spent several weekends there & absolutely love it. Maybe one day D & I will get the opportunity to take a mini vacation there. I know we would have a splendid time.

Bedroom Redo

We are moving to Memphis & I am not quite sure where we will be living just yet, but I do know there will be some redecorating. I got some new bedding on Black Friday & it's a black & white damask print. If I could I would get some of these wall sconces to use in the master bedroom on either side of the bed.

And they are called Crystorama. I think that's pretty sa-weet!

Rocco Giving Me The Look

Apple Bottom

When I saw the words "apple bottom", that songs that says...


Shawty had them Apple Bottom Jeans [Jeans]
Boots with the fur [With the fur]
The whole club was lookin at her
She hit the flo [She hit the flo]
Next thing you know
Shawty got low low low low low low low low


I like that song....It's catchy!  But it also makes me think of Nelly. I remember when he launched that line of jeans. But I don't think I have ever seen a pair in person. I know it's not just jeans now either. There is a whole line of stuff.

Star Struck

When D & I were dating & first married we would watch wrestling. I think I was so in love I would have watched anything just to spend time with my new man. We were living in LA & one day one of the famous wrestlers went walking through the store I was working at, at the time. I was completely star struck, so I went running after them & got their autograph. It was my first star sighting. It was so funny because my co-workers thought I was nuts...They had no clue who that wrestler was.

Pounds Overload

I was looking up apidexin & it says you can possibly lose 4-7 pounds a week while using it. Those are some pretty good odds. I would love to lose that a week...I would love to lose more than that, but ya know! I would settle for any weight lose at this point. This last year I have put on way more pounds than I am willing to admit. Life has been crazy & food had been my very best friend.

The Kids

Blackheads be gone

Even though I have rarely had to deal with bad skin, I do have blackheads on my nose. And so does D. It would be need to find a www.homeremediesforblackheads.com to help with ridding mine & D's nose of blackheads. I have used those little stick pads that pulls the blackheads out, but it seems to just leave your pores open for more dirt to collect. So there has to be something better to use & or prevent the blackheads.

Vitamins Baby!

I need to find some of the best multivitamins. I had a cabinet full of all kinds, but as I finished up a bottle I wouldn't replenish my supply. Now I am completely out. After Mom had gastric bypass, vitamins became a huge part of her daily routine. She has a basket overflowing with them at her house. I guess if I ever really needed some, I could just walk next door & snag a few.

Skinny Minded

I don't think there is a day that goes by that I don't see an ad for weightloss diet pills, on TV, in a magazine, on the web & now they are on the side on my e-mail! It's pure madness. But it is just proof of our true desire to lose the pounds that weigh us down. I have battled it my entire life. I do not remember a time, when weight was not on my mind. I was always the biggest kid in elementary school, in all areas. But I stopped getting taller & everyone passed me. I just continued to grow wider! Haha!

War Eagle!

Microphones

From the time I was very little I had a great love of music. And thought I had to have a shine microphone to sing with. Mom made me one out of aluminium foil. I was the happiest singing little girl you can imagine. Then when I became a teen, I began singing in church & once again a microphone was in my hand. Then I married a soundman & yet again microphones are in my life, but these are not made of aluminium foil.

Putting Stuff To Good Use

I have been doing alot of couponing for the last couple of years & I get free stuff from time to time. Once I got some acne products, but had no use for them. I just put them in my "stock pile" of stuff. Then found out about a father who had lost his job & he had 2 teenagers. So I fixed up a bag full of all kinds of products. I added the acne stuff to it. I figured they could use them. One thing that makes a stressful situation even more stress if being worried about your appearance...Especially for a teen. I hope they got to put them to good use.

Reviews

Just like anything else in this world there are good and bad phentermine reviews. I guess you just need to weed through them, talk to your doctor & discover what is best for you. I have personally used it before & found some success. The best success though was with making healthy food choices & adding exercise to my daily routine. The most I lost was around 50 pounds.

Christmas Trees!

I am always looking for inspiration & gift ideas & found the cutest place full of stuff www.personalcreations.com

I love, love, love this ornament tree! I have been wanting one for a long time. I think they are sooooo neat! Maybe I will finally get one this year. I'm not sure where I would put it though. I already have 3 Christmas trees going up. And have thought about putting up one for the "furbabies." I'll be honest my trees are usually up already, but there has just been no time to get them out. I am going to have to make time though. I have not been in the Christmas mood.

Holiday Painting

So.....It's a week from Thanksgiving. I am consumed with painting. I'm finishing up a batch today. And doing some deliveries tomorrow. I enjoy it, but I am ready to set that paint brush down & enjoy the holidays.

Inkjet

With my "little painting business" going on, I seem to use my printer more than normal. I actually just sent Daniel to go get some inkjet cartridges. Can not work without ink in the printer. How easy it is nowadays to change ink cartridges. I can remember a time when it seemed like you had to basically stand on your head to change them! Thankfully those days are over.

Jewelry Making

I have recently been working at a place that sales costume jewelry & I am sit tagging some of the piece I think about how fun it would be to design & create my very own unique pieces of jewelry. I would need to get some jewelry making tools, beads & some wire to start off with. I am sure I would enjoy it. I am in the midst of doing tons of painting right now, so the idea of being creative in another medium sounds very appealing.

Office Decor

We have a room that used to be considered the "computer room" but once we got a laptop, it is now the dogs room. I would love to remodel the room one of these day & turn into a home office/ craft room. And this photo would for sure hang in it. I have loved this photo since the very first time I saw it when I was a kid. I would need some special office décor, but I would want the room to have a very retro feel. That I know for sure.

Project Runway...

...I am mad at you.

Grateful for driving

As I was driving home from the grocery store today I was thinking about how long I have been driving. find that has been 17 yrs. And sometimes I am still amazed that I can. I don't take the ability to drive for granted. I think that may be partly to do the fact that we have one car & me driving feels like a luxury since I don't have the care very often. Thankfully in all my years of driving I have been blessed to not be pulled over, except for once. But nothing happened....Thankfully. I have a friend that has the best radar detector money can buy. I once went with him on a trip to Florida & I know for a fact he would have been pulled over on several occasions if not for that thing. He's a scary driver & I was oh so grateful to finally be home.

Stock Market

I have zero clue about the stock market. I don't know the difference between Forex charts & a technical chart. My mind goes completely blank when it comes to it all. I'm glad there are people out there that know all the ends & outs of those numbers & what it all means. But as for me....No way! I'm a do-do.

Chin Acne

I haven't ever dealt with acne much, but the older I have gotten the more it has been a bit of a problem. When I do occasionally get it, it's normally around my nose or on my chin. It drives me crazy. Maybe I should go to http://www.chinacne.org & buy some acne treatment. I wouldn't need it much, but when those little boogers pop up, I would be ready!

Wedding Shows

I've been married for over 10 years, but I still love watching wedding shows. There are so many on now that there always seems to be one on. Actually there is a new wedding channel, I don't have that one, but wouldn't totally watch it if I did. I just adore everything about the shows. From what flowers they choose for the centerpieces, to the wedding dress, to the interactions with the planners. It's all so dramatic & fun!

Where did the year go???

How in the world did most of October pass me by???? I am freaking out a bit with the idea that this year is almost over. Didn't it just turn 2010? Every year I know I say this year was the fastest year ever. But honestly...This was the fastest year ever!

Flashlights

Christmas if fast approaching & with that Christmas shopping & looking for the perfect gifts for those we love. Danny is always one that stumps me when it comes to finding him something. One thing he loves is flashlights. I don't know how many flashlights I have bought him throughout the years, for Christmas, birthdays & Father's Days. I don't think he has any led flashlights so I guess that is what he will be getting this year.

New Insurance

I've been thinking lately that we may need to get some new car insurance quotes. I am just trying to think of the best way to cut back on some of the bills & this may be one way to help if we can find the same kind of coverage but for a cheaper price. Even if it's just $10-$20, that would be worth changing insurance companies. These days we are pinching pennies so every little bit helps.

♥

Me & my love on our last date night. I love him.

Needs Some Tickets

A few months ago tons of my friends kept talking about Taylor Swift tickets on facebook. How they needed them or wanted them. One I think even won a pair. Most were parents with young daughters & had planned on taking them to her concert as a big treat. It was so cute after they went to the concert seeing all the picture they posted from the big night. I even had several friends in their 30's that went as a "Girl's Night Out." They all wore cowboys boots & fun dresses. I think the next time Taylor Swift comes to town, I need to go! It looked like too much fun.

Molly Girl

Molly turned 14 yrs old this week. It is so hard to believe it! It feels she has been apart of my life forever, but yet it seems she is still a puppy. What a sweet blessing she has been.

Acne Tips

I will never forget when I was a young teen, I hurt a friends feeling so badly. She had horrible acne & would cake on tons of make-up to hide it. It looked so bad. Mom had told me that the make-up she was using to cover the pimples was only making it worse & that she shouldn't wear it. What she needed was some good acne tips. I had invited her to go to my church for a concert. While extending the invite I said, "You can go but you can't wear all of that make-up to my church." I still to this day don't know why I said that. It was so mean! As the words were flowing from my lips I knew it was wrong. And then the look on her face was one of hurt. She did go to church with me, but our friendship was never the same.

Remover

I love, love. love using a blackhead remover on D's nose! It is so much fun. I get a kick at seeing all the junk that comes out. I know it's gross but I like picking at things....I don't get pimples very often, but they are fun to pop. Haha! I wish I could find a fat remover....Now that would be a blast to use! If only.....

Yikes!

Have you ever been at someone's house...Ya know, a bunch a people watching TV & a commercial for natural male enhancement pills comes on? Then everyone gets a bit embarrassed? Haha! One time I was watching a certain movie with my in-laws & brother-in-law & there was a questionable scene & that's putting it mildly. I wanted to dig a hole & crawl in it!

Diet Mania

I think I came out of the womb, searching for a supersize fry. And I think I went on my first diet, when I was 8 or 9. So that means, over 20 years of dealing with weight issues. Yikes! I've never thought about it that way. You would have thought, I would have won that battle by now. There are somethings I tried, that actually work, but I just didn't stick to them, including exercise, Weight Watchers & low carb. I do have a few medical things stacked against me, so it's an even bigger challenge for me. I'm gonna check out a few diet pill reviews, to see if I can find something that will help me.

The Hummers

I just adore these sweet little birds! They make life outside my window full of life! The season is coming to a end & they will be flying South soon. I'm gonna miss them.

What Is It?

Herpes simplex...What is it? I know when someone hears the word "herpes" they get a bit squeamish. But herpes simplex is basically cold sores & fever blisters. Not so scary after all. I don't think I have ever had one. I used to have a friend that seemed to keep them, so they were always putting some kinda ointment on their lips.

Acne Cream

When I was a teen I didn't have an abundance of acne. But I wanted to badly to use the latest acne cream on the market. So I would get my Mom to buy it for me. I'm sure she was thinking, "What in the world is this for?" It was a way for me to "fit in" so to speak. I wanted to be like everyone else, when I was so different.

Stuff To Paint

I just adore going to the arts & craft store! It's like a little piece of Heaven to me. I paint ornaments & have had people ask for me to make some that are not breakable. So I found some thin plywood that I have been using & people seem to love them. I'm even selling some in a bookstore. I am thinking of adding plaques & canvas to my inventory.

Ornament Making

I have been making tons of ornaments lately....Here is one of the "fan" favorites!

Credit Report

I have never done one of those free credit report things. Have you? There always seems to be a commercial or ad for one. I am honestly scared to know my credit score because I know it's not good. It was at one time. I have worked hard to keep it good, but then I got married, we went into the ministry & ended up having to live off credit cards. It have been a never ending battle trying to get out of that.http://www.creditscorequick.com/

Bathroom Makeover

Even though I am grateful to have a home & working bathroom, I hate how mine looks. It needs to much work. I have some grand ideas of it makeover. Not sure when it will ever happen, but it never hurts to dream, now does it? I have a "idea book" that I keep pages from magazines or web addresses for things I like, such as paint colors, bathroom accessories, vanities & shower curtains. So, when the time comes to do this makeover I will have all the inspiration I need.

Chipmunks

These little cuties have been very busy around here lately.

Sweet

A New Camera

I need a new camera soooooo bad! I love photography & taking pictures is a passion of mine. But my camera is ancient, compared to what is out on the market today. I was saving my money for a new super duper awesome camera, but life swooped in & I had to use my savings. Oh well....But when I am able to go shopping for my dream camera, I am going to ask my photographer friends for advice on what's the best, as well as reading camera reviews. I also wouldn't mind a new video camera too! I think I need to work on a wish list!

Summer~Summer~Summer Time

This Summer has been one of the hottest I can ever remember around here. It's been in the 100's consistently. That just doesn't happen. We always have a 100 here of there, but 100's for days....Yikes! I haven't even been opening my curtain in the house to keep the heat out. It makes it super gloomy, but you have to do all you can to keep things cool.

New Laptop

D is wanting his own laptop. I told him since I use the laptop the most that I should be the one getting the new one & he can have mine. :) Not sure how well that will go over, but it seems quite logical to me! We can't buy  2nd laptop time right now, but we have been looking at different brands including Asus. Not sure which direction we will go in when the time comes, but as soon as or car is paid off...New laptop here we come!

Door Chimes

I have never lived in a house that has door chimes. But I think it would be fun to have them. I know we need them here at our house, especially if we are asleep. We have fans in the bedroom & we can't here someone knock. So door chimes would be good. Someone stopped  by not long ago & if not for the dogs barking I would not have known anyone was at my door. If we got door chimes, I would want them to play a cute tune. The "I Love Lucy" tune would be perfect!

Comparison chart

In all of this talk about fat & losing weight, I need to find a weight loss pill comparison chart or something. There are so many out there it is easy to get confused or just not even know where to begin. You know there are a lot to choose from when there is an entire aisle at the store devoted just to them. And that's not even all that is out there!

Burn some fat

Boy, do I have some fat that needs to find some fat burners fast! I am tried of being overweight. I mean...Really tired. And I am typing this as I eat a candy bar...Go figure! Honestly though.....I want to get healthy, not skinny. Skinny wouldn't be bad, but healthy is more important. I think some changes are in my future.

Helps to lose weight

I think I am possible at my heaviest & I hate it. I haven't been eating more, just not as active as I need to be. But I have zero energy....I have different health issues that make me so tired & that is why it is so hard to lose weight & keep it off. I think I may look into some apidexin. Maybe that stuff can help with kick starting my weight loss.

Something New

Danny made this awesome gate for our front porch. We love it!

Natural

Out of all the diet potions out there, I wonder just how many are natural weight loss products. So many things out there are dangerous & you have no clue what is in them. But to find something natural & possibly organic would be the best way to go when trying to lose weight with the aid of a product. Now, it's just finding the natural ones in the sea of the bad stuff.

Supplements

I think when people hear diet supplement, that think diet pills, but that is not the only supplements out there. They include a list of things...vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, fatty acids, amino acids...It's really anything that provides nutrients. Especially something our body may be lacking & we need more of. So when you walk down the vitamin aisle at the store you are actually going down the diet supplement aisle.

Alli Reviews

I have taken prescription diet pills & over the counter ones too, but have been curious about alli. I see the commercials & it looks to be a pill that works. Of course there is no magic pill, but with healthy eating & exercise, it helps. I have been reading some alli reviews  & I have things look encouraging. I may just have to give it a try. Then I will be able to give my own review.

Us celebrating the 4th!

Vitamins

I know since my Mom had gastric bypass surgery, she has to take all different kinds of supplements. One being prenatal vitamins. I wonder if she has taken vitafol prenatal vitamins. She probably has, I know she has tried all different ones. I do know that prenatal vitamins are some of the best vitamins anyone can take. You don't have to be pregnant.

Weight Tips

Growing up with a Mom who struggled with her weight, the subject of quick weight loss tips were one I heard often. If it is been out there, I'm sure she tried it or at least thought about it. I have also battled the bulge the majority of my life. I was thinking the last time I wore a bikini, I was 3 years old. I am now 33. Haha! Oh my, just now as I type that I am realizing that I have dealt with weight issues for 30 yrs. Wow!

Too Cute

This video is so funny!

Thrown away

I was looking in our medicine cabinet the other day & couldn't find what I was looking for because of all the expired junk in there. It was something I had been needing to do anyway, but at 1 am I was throwing out all sorts of stuff. Cough drops, weight loss pills, antibiotics, ear drops, ect. I hate when things don't get used up before it expires & it ends up in the trash.

Hair Loss

I used to have thick curly hair & hated it. I complained all the time about it. Now that I have had some health issues my hair isn't nice & thick like it used to be. And it does bother me. I have been searching some hair loss treatment for women. One thing I have learned is be grateful for what you have, because one day it may not be there. And stop complaining.

Sleep Tight

I wish I were someone how can fall fast asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. My husband is like that. And once he is asleep the house could down around him & he would never know it. Me on the hand has to sorta decompress. I have to read or watch TV. But I also have to be exhausted. And if I know I have to get up early, the idea of going to sleep taunts me. I need to look into the best sleeping pills for me. So I can get a good nights rest.

Books

There is a local place that sell used books. It is owned by the very odd older man & that is putting it mildly. I have never gone in there alone & never will. And if you give him a chance to start talking....Watch out, because he will not shut up for anything. I really don't know how the place even stays open there is rarely anyone in there. Any time I pass it I always look to see if it has closed down.

Mom's gift

The time has already passed for this year, but you can never start to early looking for great mothers day gifts. Mom's are pretty special & shouldn't be left for the last minute. I was at the store the night before Mother's day & was shocked at the people rummaging through the leftover cards to find "something" to give. How sad is that? I made my Mom a gift this year, but I always try to do something that will mean something to her & not a flimsy card.

Drive In Baby!

D & I went to the drive in a couple of weekends ago & saw Iron Man 2. We had such a fun time. It was a surprisingly cool Southern night with honeysuckle strong in the air. We took some hot dogs wrapped in foil & Route 44 slushies from Sonic. Sweet times for sure.

Invitations

Since I call D "Honey D" & he calls me "Honey C" I thought if we ever had a baby would call it "Honey B" as a nickname. I found these baby shower invitations that would be perfect.

 So cute! The entire shower could be all Bee themed. I just love it! I just wish now it would actually happen, so the planning & the fun could begin! One day...One day...One day.....

A Photo....

....From our 10th anniversary...

Weight Loss

I have been given a many different kinds of weight loss supplement from doctors. I have also found over the counters ones from the drug store & some from the health store. Some have worked while others haven't. There are some that you can feel working, while others you feel nothing. I know that for me, I can not lose without some kind of supplement. It's just finding the right one that works.

Burning fat foods

With changing the way I eat, adding some food that burns fat would also help. I was doing some research on this & found some lists. On those lists were these foods...Cayenne pepper, cinnamon, ginger, Citrus fruit, apples & berries, soybeans, bananas, garlic & also dairy products. I think I need to go to the grocery store & load up on this stuff!

Diet Pill Reviews

Goodness...Is it time to do something about my weight! I need to find something that will help aide in the weight lose. I was looking at the apidexin reviews. From what I have read it is a very powerful diet pill. It's not just a diet pill, but also a fat burner. And it's made of some of the best quality ingredients. Might be something worth looking into.

Nicer Couch

We have a used couch. It's is pretty good condition. Has good bones. But the fabric is faded & has some stains. I would love to a slip cover for it, but it is a couch that has 4 large pillows, instead of a normal cushion. I guess I will need to look into some custom slipcovers. I would love to go with a deep red color. I have always wanted a red couch for some reason.

Lose it quick

I have so much weight to lose that quick weight loss is not the answer. Of course, I want it off quick, who doesn't? I have lost 15 pounds recently, but it took over 2 months to do so. I wish food addiction was not my problem. But I guess it could be worse.  Maybe one day I will be free from this burden.

Ones that work

I wish I could find diet pills that work for me. The Doctor put me on some that have worked before, but now they don't. It's aggravating. I don't ever remember losing weight without the aide of something. Not only do the diet pills help me lose weight, but they give me energy. Something I lack. If I have energy I get moving & helps with the weight lose.

Blue Light Therapy

I have never heard of blue light therapy before. So I did some researching on it & found some very cool info. It is an amazing treatment for acne. Who knew? Not me, that is for sure. It kills the bacteria that causes acne, plus helps reduce inflammation. If I had acne problems I would for sure give this type of treatment a try!

Insurance Safety

Thankfully we have all of our insurance stuff in order, but I do remember when I was just starting out on my own having to get insurance quotes. I'm sure we will have have to do so again, when we start a family. Insurance is just a part of life & finding the one that is best for you & your family comes along with it. Even is you are hoping you never have to use it.

Want To Get Moving!

I know I need to exercise. Everyone needs to in some compacity. I do have some physical limitations, but I know exercise would most definitely help in strengthening my body. I don't have a way to go to a gym & my neighborhood isn't the best for walking, so I need to find something I can do in my home. And that thing is an elliptical. Oh, how I would love, love, love to have one!

LCD TV's

I think one of the hottest gifts this past Christmas was an LCD TV. I know when I was out shopping on Black Friday people were lined up around buildings for hours to get the best deal of the day. And I know there were alot of very happy people on Christmas morning! We don't have an LCD TV. I'm sure we will get one in the future, but it is so not a priority for us now. We got a newer TV when a hotel replaced all their TV's with LCD TV, so I think we are set for awhile.

Car Insurance

When I started driving, my parents immediately added me to their car insurance. When I moved out of state, I got different insurance on my own. Then after getting married & the budget was extra tight, we changed to another insurance that was cheaper, but ended up having better coverage. We haven't needed to use it, but I'm sure there are some out there searching for some insurance & I bet carinsurancelist blog has some good companies to choose from.

Cell Phones

Remember when we used to say cellular phones? They were huge! I think when they first came out they were in big carrying cases. Now they are so tiny, you can barely see them. I guess they are so small now that they have to be called a smaller word...Cell. Along with things getting smaller, so does the way we say stuff. Actually now words are either abbreviations or an acronyms.

If I could Redecorate...

I have such eclectic taste. Right now my house is furnished with yard sale, hand me down, thrift store & road side finds. But if I had the money to just buy whatever I wanted to decorate my home, I really have no idea in what direction I would go. I adore the cottage/shabby chic look. All white, big over stuffed couches with pops of color & florals. I also love anything 1950's & with that most of it is more modern furniture. Clean straight lines. I also like curvy whimsical furniture. Goodness, I think I would have trouble deciding what to do!

Books

I seem to be back into my reading mood. I got "Gone with the Wind" for Christmas & read it for the first time. Once I finished it, I read "Scarlett." Then one of my favorite authors Francine Rivers came out with a new book "Her Mother's Hope." I just started it today & am already captivated & I am just in the 2nd chapter. I love books like that, where you are immediately in the middle of the story & you are not having to fight to read it, to get to a point that holds your attention.

Herbal Stuff

I took some herbal diet pills for awhile & along with them there was an herbal tea that was used to detox your system. One night I was steeping some of that tea & forgot about it. It was only supposed to steep for a few minutes, well....mine steeping for over an hour! I didn't want to waste it since it was kind of expensive, so I drank it anyway. Let's just say it detoxified my system & then some!

Best of...

It's been so long since I read a fashion magazine, I don't know what the best wrinkle creams are now. I used to could the best of every beauty treatment, best lipstick, foundation & so on.... I am definitely out of the loop these days. I used to have a subscription to the leading beauty magazine, but since I didn't renew it, I'm  lost. Haha!

Weight Loss Stories

Do you find weight loss success stories encouraging or do they make you feel worse about your own weight? I'm not sure how I feel about them. Sometimes it gives me a push in the right direction. Motivates me. Makes me want to exercise. Eat healthy. All knowing that it is possible to achieve this weight lose goal While at other times it makes me want to grab a big old bag of potato chips & eat the whole thing!

Security Stuff

A few months ago my parents were experiencing some strange things going on at their house. Some things were disappearing. One them being a gasoline siphon. And they also noticed when they would get into their vehicles that the gasoline was lower then it had been the last time they drove it somewhere. It would have been interesting to see exactly what was going on if they had had a security camera set up to capture the culprit.

Falling In Love

The first time I met D, he was this tall mysterious guy dressed in urban clothing. I had never met someone quite like him. I was a young woman from Alabama on an adventure. He was a young man that was native Californian. Our worlds collided with one hand shake & an introduction. Five months later we were Mister & Misses. Moral of the story, you never know how much a meeting a new person will affect your life. :)

Spring Forward?

Today we had to set our clocks forward. It sure doesn't seem like Spring. The weather this year has definitely been one for the history books. Record breaking Winter weather. Extreme cold temps for very long periods of time. Forecasts for snow several times, which is very rare here in Alabama. And then flooding! It's been insane that is for sure..

That's life

There are so many things in life that as kids we are never aware of. Things adults have to deal with & go through, that is shielded from kids. If kids knew they would wish their sweet little lives away. One thing that people never want to have to think about is life insurance. Goodness, knows I don't. But being an adult I have too whether I want to or not. Oh to be a kid again...To be able to just play, eat, laugh, sleep & dream.....

Replacing the Potty

I was making a list the other day of all the things we need to do around the house. Ans it is quite a long list, let me tell ya. One thing that made the list was replacing the toilets, especially the one in the master bathroom. It is still a harvest gold version, with a white lid. Haha! Maybe we could replace them with a Toto toilets! I think that name is cute.

Moving Trip

It's been a long time since I have needed to use some roadside assistance, thank goodness. When we moved from California back to Alabama the last time, we had to use roadside assistance 4 times! We kept having our tires blowout. It was a scary trip. And we were so relieved once we finally made it to Sweet Home Alabama all safe & sound.

Arthritis

My step grandmother had rheumatoid arthritis very badly. I never knew her without it. I'm not sure if she ever had any treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. I think alot of the treatments that are available today, are newer & more cutting edge. They weren't around for her to be able to see if they were successful. Maybe if she were alive today, she would be in less pain.

Diet & More

I took diet pills over a year ago & they were quite successful. But once I came off of them, I had to go on a different med & that one made me gain weight! So, I gained back all I lost. After much thought, I have decided to go back on diet pills. I need to get some weight off & get more active. It's so easy to not do stuff & enjoy good food! Haha!

Dark Circles

As I was looking in the mirror the other morning applying my make-up, I noticed the beginnings of some fine lines. Being 33, I think this isn't so bad. But I do need to do some research for the best under eye creams. I want something for wrinkles & for dark circles. I would also like to start a more intense beauty regime.

Good Skin Compliments

I come from a line of women with good skin. Even the other night, I was at a Ladies night out event with my Mom & we were complimented on our skin. I bet most people think we use all kinds of potions, lotions, wrinkle serum & masks, but no we just have been blessed with good skin. But if I had to use all of that stuff, I certainly would!

Adult Acne

I have seen adults who have awful acne. I always wonder what adult acne treatment they are using or if they are doing anything at all. There are so many things on the market, I can understand that it can be overwhelming to know what to even try. I do know that acne treatment for adult skin is different from that of a teen. So finding the right stuff can be a mission.

A New Laptop

We got a new laptop over a year ago & I just adore it! Our older computer that crashed, is now set back up & D uses it for games. But when he is home, we fit over the laptop, since it's in the living room. Maybe we can get a Sony VAIO, then we would have 2 laptops & all would be right in our home! Haha! It would be nice for us both to have on though.

Belly

I would imagine the very best way to reduce belly fat is to watch what you eat & exercise. But I know there are many, many gimmicks out there, that are say otherwise. And many, many people out there that fall for them & waste tons of money. I don't & I don't watch what I eat or exercise. So, I am fat & save money! Haha!

The Best Ones?

I don't know about it being the best new diet pill, but the dr did give me a prescription for a diet pill when I had a visit with him a few weeks ago. I still have not decided if I want to take it or not yet. I mean, I want to, to lose weight, but there is something holding me back. I'm not quite what it is yet, so I am going to wait a little longer to decide if it's the way I want to go.

Anniversary Gift

D & I will be celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary in May. We have never really given each other a memorable anniversary gift & I told D that we had to for this one since it is a milestone. I was looking into a personalized gift for him. I want something very special. Something that can always been looked at & will symbolize the last 10 years together.

Car Parts

Our car has been sitting in the front yard ever since a tree landed on top of it. Actually it was moved once. From the backyard where the tragedy took place, to the front yard. We really wanted to fix the car back up, maybe we could look into some Mopar performance parts, to use to get her back into shape. I know I would love to have her back up & running. I was so looking forward to be a 2 car family. But thanks to that stupid tree we now have an amazing newer car, but are still a 1 car family.

Date Night with D

Last night we had such an adventure filled date night. They involved me being hugged by a strange man, a Superman doll being won, boots bought, D was called a lady, all you can eat shrimp, Michael Jackson's #1's, a UFO sighting & some Sonic treats.

Insurance plans

I have family & friends that live in North Carolina. Some are in the military, so I know their health insurance is fine. But some friends went for awhile between jobs where they have no insurance. I'm sure that they had gotten some NC short term health insurance, until their primary insurance took effect. We had to go for awhile without insurance & I think I prayed everyday that we would be ket safe & well, so there would be zero medical bills. And thankfully we were just fine.

Naturally Aging

People are always on the lookout for whatever can make them the best that they can be. And I'm sure most are in such of natural anti aging products, especially in this day & age of "going green." Me personally, I don't really care if it's natural or not. Sure natural is so much better, but I am so not a label reader. If I like it & it's natural all the better I suppose!

Iron Out those Wrinkles

When I used to work in the cosmetic industry I had to sell what was considered the best wrinkle cream. But the next 6-7 other make-up counters said theirs was the best all so! I'm not complete sure who's is the best. Their are some people that think the more expensive the better it will work. While others find that cheaper drug store creams work just as well, if not better. So what I say is find what works best for you.

Natural Stuff

I would love to find some good natural appetite suppressants. I don't think I have ever taken natural ones before though. I have always taken over the counter stuff, plus a few times I have used prescriptions. I have found I have always needed some kind of aide to help with weight lose. I wish I didn't, but it's the only way the pounds go away.

Face Cream

When I was little & thought it was "glamorous" to sit at a dressing table & apply a face creams. My Granny had one of those jars with that thick goop inside. I loved the smell. When I got to the age when I thought I was old enough to need face cream, I purchased myself a jar. I thought I was so grown up!

Acnefree

When I was a young teen, I didn't have to use any acnefree products. But I was very desperate to fit in & since according to the world teens have acne, I would get my Mom to me buy these products so I could use them. Especially those medicated pads...It makes me laugh now. But thankfully, I didn't need any of that stuff like so many do.

Moving On

D & I moved back & forth from Alabama & California several times, I wish we had just looked into some cross country moving companies, instead of doing the moving ourselves. The last move back to Alabama was absolutely insanity. We had several tires blow out. The temperature that Summer in the desert was 114! And our truck caught on fire, but we didn't realize it until we were already home. Let's just say we were more that ready to get settled & stay awhile. We haven't moved in over 6 years & have no plans of doing so any time soon.

Disney...Maybe?

My husband & I are way overdue for a vacation....I think we need to get away to break up this monotony. We are in a rut....Maybe a getaway to some Orlando villas would be just the fix. We spent our honeymoon at Disneyland & have always said we would go to Disney World for or 10th anniversary....That's in May! Disney I hear ya calling our name.

2010

I think I am still in a bit of shock that it is now 2010! Where did the time go? I hope to make this a year of letting go....Moving forward & not holding back. I am tired of being stifled, but my own apathy. It's time to take charge of my life & stop wasting time.

Got Ya Covered

I am very proud to say that we now have window blinds up in every room of the house! It took a while to do so, but all windows are now covered. So goodbye sheets & pieces of material that was tacked up way longer than I am willing to admit! Haha! Now to get curtains in all the rooms. But I do have them up in the living room & kitchen.

New TV's

I there was tons of led hdtv's opened on Christmas morning this year....But not at my house. Sure we wold like one, but I do not see us getting one for many years. We have several newer TV's & are not "in need" of an upgrade any time soon. I know there are some people who are electronics junkies, but are family isn't apart of the keeping up with the Jones's. And I am quite OK with that.

Christmas morning with 2 of my favorite gifts! Not pictured season 1 of The Lucy Show.
