Every now and then my hubby will look for jobs in other states, he does this just to get my hopes up! He knows how bad I want to move out of Michigan! The other day it was for philadelphia airport jobs. Hmmm... nah, I want him to look for jobs in the south or our west. I want to be in a state that doesn't have snow! This would kill my mother in law if we did move. I know it will never happen, but I can keep on dreaming can't I?
I keep waiting for my father in law to give us a call to see if we heard about his accident. He has an obsession with him. Its too funny.
Reading the article on WZZM, it says he is ok. I hope he will be able to complete in his last golf tournament of this year, otherwise my father in law will be bummed.
I have some loose diamonds that I thought I could turn in for cash. I called this jeweler to see if they did indeed buy diamonds, before I drove out there. They did, so off I went. Only to find out that they don't buy the particular shaped diamond I had! Grrr... I wish they would have said this before I make the trip. I could have really used the money at that time as well! But the Lord provided and kept us afloat another week!
Now I am determined to find some place that will buy it, or maybe they could put it in a setting that I would like, maybe a necklace? Hey, I like this better! Yes, the cash would be nice, but a nice new necklace with a beautiful diamond would be nice as well!
Did you hear about the girl who cried "I've been bitten" after watching New Moon? After reading the article, I thought what a sicko! To prey on a young innocent girl. But then the next day it was reported that it was all a hoax and now my face charges for this false report.
I just don't get people!
Its time to start saving up for our anniversary trip! I don't know if I want to do the orlando vacations thing again or go somewhere different. I would really like to go to New York, but Trent wants to go as well, so this I guess, is out of the question for an anniversary trip.
Next year will be fifteen years for us, so I want to take a week long trip, say to maybe Hawaii!?! I have to convince the hubby on this, as he isn't so much into the laying on the beach kind of guy. Me, I *love* it! And could spend the whole week just lounging on the beach with my sweetie! If we did this, I would definitely be motivated to get into shape, so I could wear my cute bikini!
I wonder home many people have actually used an Oakland motorcycle accident lawyer? Some may have legitimate claims, but more often than not people are just too quick to sue these days!
A friend's husband was in an accident a week ago, and now have family members encouraging them to all get a lawyer and sue. Why? Who knows! I could see it if their company wasn't going to pay all of their bills, but they are.
Like I said people are way to quick to be sue happy these days!
I have been told I have enough cat supplies for Miss Lulu. I don't think so! She is one spoiled kitty and I continue to spoil her. She is the strangest cat, she loves water (well not so sure she would love a bath though). She likes to drink water from the faucet> I have a few pictures of her somewhere actually drinking it. She will play in it as well.
I am thinking about getting her one of those water fountain bowls, but have to see if they make them with batteries, as I don't have an outlet by where her food tray is kept.
Of course there will be a few presents under the tree for her as well this Christmas!
I am sooo excited to see this today! I am going to a few craft shows first, then lunch... the the movie!
I have been watching this series and really like it. They have only 2 more episodes left for this season. I don't get that, why only air for a few weeks, only to make us wait until March for it to continue! Argh
Its that time of year to start making out your Christmas wish list. Here's my wish list:
1. Biggest Loser Wii game
2. Wide angle lens for my Canon
3. Video camera
4. Ladybug XL steam cleaner
5. Flat screen TV
I know that one thing on my list I will get, the others are kinda out of our budget, but I can always hope and dream right?
I was out and about yesterday and saw a tote, throw and pillow set that had "Edward" on it from Twilight/New Moon, and called my mother in law and told her that I found my Christmas present from her! She said to go ahead and buy it and give it to her the next time I see her, so she can wrap it and then pay me back. My friend thinks I am nuts, but hey.. its Edward! Ahhhh
Some of my favorites for Thanksgiving
1. Turkey
2. Stuffing
3. Mashed taters/gravy
4. Sweet potatoes
5. Pumpkin Pie
6. Family time and reminiscing
When working on your grocery list, do you make it randomly, or do you categorize it according to like foods, or the aisles in the store. I make mine according to how my menu is planned out.
I need to start making it according the the aisles, and I am always back tracking and forgetting things like the diet pills I want to try. You would think that having the coupon in my "today" slot would be my reminder, but no! I can't tell you how many times I have forgot something!
I think the store I go to has one of those pamphlets that has what is in every aisle. I need to remember to grab one this week, or even search online, so I can prepare my list on Thursday.
I am in the mood for some hot chocolate. I have been looking online for some different recipes from the norm, and think I have everything on hand to try:
Mexican Hot Chocolate
Ingredients:
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
dash salt
1 quart milk (4 cups), divided
1/4 cup half-and-half
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation:
In a small bowl, combine cocoa, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Heat 1 cup of milk in a saucepan until bubbling. Stir in cocoa mixture and whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining 3 cups milk and return to boiling. Before stirring, whisk until frothy; stir in cream and vanilla then heat through.
Serves 4 to 6.
My sweetie woke up with a nasty looking cystic acne zit on his face today. It looks so very painful! You would think that at almost fifty he wouldn't have to still deal with this. I know that my oldest gets these at times, I just hope that Trent never has to deal with these!
I shouldn't say anything, but, knock on wood, I haven't had any breakouts lately. I am so thankful! But you know the saying, "murphy's law", I probably just cursed myself!
I need to go see if I can find him some ointment to put on it, to help dry it up.
I am going to be making a bunch of these for gifts this Christmas. Homemade gifts are always well received.
I have a few cookie ones, hot cocoa ones and a few soups. The soup ones I have never tried before, but I think they should be just as easy.
I knew it was only a matter of time before Trent started breaking out. I was hoping we would escape it, but I guess not. So now I am looking into acne treatments for him. I hope he doesn't get it as bad as him brother. We are still battling his. He has such a pretty boy look, that the acne doesn't help. I just have to remind them both to wash their faces day and night, this will help.
