We didn’t win the Dream House
August 27, 2008
Well I thought if I didn’t blog about entering to win the YMCA Dream House that we bought a ticket for to tour the house, maybe we stand a chance in winning. HA! It was such a cute country style house too, already decorated and furnished and there was not one think I would change about it. They even had a few popcorn machines, the one in the downstairs family room was the cutest! The rest of the basement area was even big enough to have a wedding reception in. I loved the master bedroom with its own bathroom and a huge walk in closet and it was just beautiful. The kitchen was so my dream kitchen you have no idea! I am a little bummed but we don’t have that kind of luck anyhow but it would of been nice because we would of had to move and it was more country like and I love to be in the country!!! Away from the city!!!
Where are these coming from?
August 27, 2008
I opened my desk drawer as I was in the trying to find an USB cord I needed for my camera so I could upload some pictures to the computer and I swear there is more pens in there, and I stop and think I didn’t buy them so I started looking, here they are promotional pens from fairs that my dad has been going too. I have to chuckle because the latest additions are from a Driving School back home and he gave one to my daughter and I wonder if he was “hinting” about getting her license??? He has that way to sneak it in there like that, but knowing him its all about the humor! I have some favorite styles I like and seems you can’t find them so I may end up just ordering my own, I really love the one I got from the Realtor when we bought our house, its my favorite!
Tough times I say!
August 20, 2008
As we were driving around this morning, you see asking my dad to run me to the store is always an adventure. We never go or come home the same direction each time! He so cracks me up. I am at his mercy once I sit in that seat and close the car door. One nice thing about being the passenger is I get to look around. I noticed there is a lot of commercial real estate for sale and has been for months. Its so sad to see. I see some businesses up for sale and lots of little mom and pop shops are closed now. I would definitely say these are tough times although the mayor of the city sends out this little newsletter stating otherwise. I think he just wants to believe this himself. It is going to effect the schools again and can see transportation will be an issue. Luckily that is not an issue for us since my son attends school from home. So it will be interesting to see what happens.
Have you decided who your voting for in the presidential election? I haven’t yet. I am really praying with this one and hoping I will be lead the right direction because I don’t really like either candidate at this point. I am still waiting to see who they are picking to run for Vice Presidents. My dad comes home from the mall everyday telling a different story regarding the democrats one day and republicans the next.
Not ready for this
August 19, 2008
I am not ready for this next stage with my son. He just turned 16 a few months ago and is starting his Junior year in high school. I am so not ready. I have to tell you I can tell those hormones are kicking in folks! I mean the dude really needs to use the D-E-O-D-O-R-A-N-T that I bought for him!! I can tell I am having to fight with him more with showers. I mean how do you go from yelling at the kid to get out of the shower after using all the hot water to, having to argue to even take one? Or how to answer those million questions about acne cures and which one he should use. I am just not ready for this. I thought that getting my daughter through her teen years was going to be harder than raising him but let me tell you boy was I wrong. School starts next week and I am not looking forward to fighting with him to get his work done. I hope now that the hormones are kicking in and reeking havoc in his life that he will mature a little bit and learn to be more organized and get his work done so he can more free time later.
I wonder if it does work.
August 19, 2008
Have you seen those commercials for that Leptovox? I seen this product being sold on EBay and decided to do some searching myself because I wonder does Leptovox work? With fighting Hypothyroidism for well over eight years now I just am very frustrated now matter now little I eat or active I am the weight doesn’t go anywhere. It is beginning to be that time of year for cooler weather to come and I have been looking to get a few new tops that are long sleeve. Then there are those out there who just assume we all have eating problem and not health issues playing the roll into our weight. I worry about taking supplements myself because of heart issues, as I can’t even take over the counter cold medication because of my health condition, I get the slightest little cold and I end up at the doctors. So I wonder if it really does work and it it really is safe.
I like his parents
August 19, 2008
My daughter has been dating her boyfriend, let me see it will be a year this October. I really like his parents. They are older than us, but they are really nice. His father just turned 60 and my daughter called me on her way home to let me know she was going to be late because his parents were talking with an insurance rep about term life insurance. His dad thinks its time to check into it and be prepared. Just like me, his wife is a stay at home wife. She really has her hands full with her oldest son who has a lot of issues right now. I hear how he abuses them from my daughter and how the police tell them nothing they can do but tell him to stay away for 24 hours which I say is a crock of crap! If my son EVER and I mean EVER raises his hand to me or hits me, he is done. I will always love him but you don’t abuse your parents. I would call the police myself and press charges. Look at how many parents abuse their kids and go to jail for it so why is it different if the child is abusing the parent. I get really nervous when my daughter is over at their house visiting with her boyfriend. I am afraid something might happen. But for some reason his parents think they have to put up with it and they don’t. So I am hoping nothing with happen and praying for them. You hear so many stories about the boyfriend or girlfriend’s parents not liking the other and we all get along great. They adore my daughter and have told me numerous times what a great job we did raising her!
Now that he signed the bill
July 31, 2008
So today I been thinking, well when your at the hospital waiting for your test to start you tend to think, and I wonder now that President Bush signed that housing bill, how this will not only effect those home owners facing foreclosure, but the mortgage lenders? Will companies benefit too? Although I will never understand someone buying a house that can not afford at a sub prime rate which made their payment literally below what they would of normally paid in the first place, and think they would not have trouble later on? I feel sorry for them BUT I don’t. They got over their heads and I don’t feel sorry for the banks that did that either. What were they thinking? I guess I have a hard time with this because there are so many folks who can barely make ends meet, there are those who are Veterans and get little to no help, and those sleeping on the streets because they are homeless, that I think need more help. I am very torn about this bill.
How can they be missing?
July 30, 2008
I have been going through stuff getting ready to have a garage sale. I was going to have it starting tomorrow but since I have my CT Angiogram, that’s not going to happen now. Good thing I didn’t place my ad for the sale in the paper yet. So I found our old digital camera but the memory cards are missing. I had two memory cards for that and there are some photos on the one I wanted and you think I can find them? I know they were in the case with the camera, so how could they just come up missing? I checked every where. I know my stepson borrowed the camera when he was putting stuff he wanted to sell on EBay, I think that is where they are, but he swears up and down he doesn’t have them that he returned them. So now I am driving myself buggy trying to find them. Don’t you just hate that, you know you put something some place and then poof missing?
