PDA

I have never really cared to much about PDAs. I guess because I didn't have a real need for one. But I recently began texting & oh my! It is sooooo fun! I would love to have a PDA now! It would be so fun to tweet or facebook from my PDA & not have to be on the computer. And I would want one with a QWERTY keyboard. It would make things easier. I just need to keep hoping for one.

2 Cars for 1

D & I was in the market for a 2nd car & have been for a long time. We are just waiting on him getting a raise at this point. I recently saw a local car lots that had buy 1 new car get a used one for free! Very cool! D & I thought that might be a good idea, but the more we thought about it the more we talked ourselves out of it. Even though the 2nd car is free, we would still have to have full coverage car insurance on it, plus all the other upkeep. Sure there wouldn't be a 2nd car payment, but it's still too much for us to undertake now. It's going to be a big enough transition having a car payment again.

Help me not eat!

The dr had put me on the best appetite suppressant, last Summer & I lost 50 pounds. I had to stop taking it in January & I miss it! Oh my goodness, it was awesome. I felt so much better on it, because it also gave me tons of energy. I think that is one of the things I miss the most about it. I need something that helps me with energy, since I have health issues that slow me down. I'm taking a break from the meds, since you can't stay on them forever. But I may just go back on them in a few months.

Bar Removed

When my parents bought there current home, back in 1985-86, it was a bankruptcy home. I can still remember walking in there the first time. I was 8 or 9 & the house was all dark & just creepy. The people that has lost their home, were not happy & destroyed alot of things. One thing that I loved about the house was that there were 2 different bars. One bar separated the kitchen from the living area. I could just invision myself sitting there eating a snack. And the other bar had a mirrored back splash, a tiny sink & even saloon doors! I was excited about this. And was thrilled to play in there. I was saddened when Danny removed both bars & my dreams were shattered. Haha. But to a 9 yr old, it was a big deal.

Easter

Easter was wonderful this year. We had planned on just going to church & the n coming home & chilling out, with Mom & Danny. Not anything out of the ordinary. But Friday my aunt called & invited us all over to her house, for food & games. I took my famous green beans, which weren't as good this year for some reason. And then my Granny's carrot cake, which turned out fabulously!
We had a blast playing the "Survivor Challenge." And then after most of the family went home, some of us played dominoes. It was a blessed day.

Easing the Pain

I have never heard of Super Cissus, until now. It's sounds intriguing. I suffers from different kinds of chroinc pain & the idea of helping ease it all with something that is herbal makes me sense to me. I don't like the idea of taking prescription pain meds. I would rather suffer, instead of taking them. I just worry about getting addicted. I think I may just have to give Super Cissus a try. I would love to have a day pain free. So I am up for the challenge.

Comfy Shoes

I seem to always be on the constant look out for the perfect comfortable, yet stylish shoe. I used to be able to wear anything. Now I am picky, but not because I want to be. My feet went through hell, when I worked retail & I now pay the price, add that to my bad back & finding a good shoe is not always easy for me. I also love to wear boots, but have not found a pair that didn't have a huge heel, until I saw the Naot shoes website. I found this great pair. I made just buy them for next Fall & Winter.

A Cali Vacation

I was just looking around on the internet tonight for some place for D & I to get away. He does get an incredible discount for accommodations from work, but we have yet to put it to use.
D is from California & I lived there for awhile, but I never went to far out of LA county. I would like to find us a San Diego CA hotel, to spend some time in. I'm not even sure is D has been to San Diego. But I do know it would be fun! And since we would be in California, we could drive up & visit with his parents. Gotta make the trip count.

My Hummers

I sure have been missing my hummers! I can't wait for them all to come home. I put out there food, so they will have it once they get here. I look for them everyday. I wonder if Hummington will be back.

A Money Making Blog

I plan of creating a blog for selling the ornament & other art I create. I'm thinking that getting a conversion rate optimization would be a good idea to use for getting traffic to the site as well as purchases. I know I am not going to make a ton of money, but it would be nice to see some extra money in my pocket. I really do enjoy painting & creating. It's a hobby, so why not make money doing what you love?

Cheap Shopper

Being an ubber thrifty person, you know that getting a good deal of something is right up my alley. So, the mention of wholesale clothes....I am there! I absolutely hate to pay full price for anything. And if I can't use a coupon, then it has to be on sale or I will not buy it. Why pay full price for things when you do not have too? I can not believe how much money I have saved this past year, shopping with coupons, using the Buy one get one sales & hitting the clearance racks. There really is not greater satisfaction that coming home with a car load of stuff for next to nothing.

New Ceiling Fan

I love different kinds of lighting. And I have a bit of an obsession with lamps. D used to work for a home improvement company & they would give him a gift card for Christmas. We always seemed to use it on buying a lamp! Haha! We need to replace the lighting in all the rooms in our house. We did add 2 news lights to the kitchen when I painted last Summer. And they made a world of a difference. I think our bedroom is in need the most. We have a ceiling fan with no light. It drives me nuts.

It Snowed!!!

And we had a blast playing in it!

Take a Ton Of Pics

I've recently been going through tons of all photos. I think it's funny, that back in the day, we were only allowed 36 photos on a roll of film. You snapped photos more cautiously & never knew how something turned out, until you had them developed. Sometimes there were a few keepers in the bunch. Nowadays with the fabulous invention of the digital camera & it's companion the micro sd, the amount of photos that you can take now are pretty much limitless. Especially since you can delete not so great photos as soon as you take them. Love it!

Go Oscar

I'm sitting here watching the Academy Awards. It has got to the best one I have ever seen. They have revamped it all. Which makes for better viewing. I'm loving the dresses of course. Last year I didn't watch it at all. But this year, I was intrigued to see who wins.

Cherry Trees

I have never been to Washington DC, but it is one place that I have wanted to visit. I love anything to do with history, but when in school I seemed to be drawn to world history more. Now I appreciate American history. To be able to walk the streets that some of our founding fathers walked, would be amazing. But if that day comes that I am able to visit DC, I want it to be when the Flowering CherryTrees are in full bloom. How spectacular they are.

Treasure

You never know what you may find in the garbage. You know the saying, "One man's trash, is another man's treasure." It is oh so true. My entire house has been basically furnished with things people no longer wanted. Once a year our city does a clean up day & it's a time for people to put big items by the road to be picked up. We always go driving the neighborhoods. We have found some good things, including a grill. One time we also found a box full of medical textbooks. It was like a treasure trove for Mom, since she has always wanted to be a nurse. I think she was dancing in the street!

Backpack Travel

I watched a special the other night, about people who give up their jobs & lives, to travel the world alone for a few months or even years. This particular special followed a guy who quit his high paying job, packed his backpack & headed out for a year of travel. I wonder if he had any travel medical insurance? I mean, you would think that would be a brilliant idea. Especially with traveling to some under developed countries & staying in not so clean places. I know that I love to travel, but there is no way I would just up & travel the world alone with my backpack.

Safety First

In my working career, I never worked anywhere, that we had to wear any time of safety equipment. But my husband has. Thankfully where he works now, that isn't an issue. It does keep me from worrying as much as I used too, I will tell ya that He used to come home telling me about people that would constantly break the rules regarding safety. I'm so glad he no longer works there. If I had to work somewhere the required a hard hat, I would just have to have a pink one. Hahaha...I would insist.
