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.
