Bored

I am quite bored tonight. Isn't that a weird thing to be hearing? Usually I'm so busy during the week...but I am SO bored. I guess it's nice for a change, just quiet and a little bit lonely. Oh well...I'm finding things to pass the time. I had some work to do for my sister on her website. I helped her design it, and now we're working out any changes that we think should be made. It's looking great. I'll have to link to it here once it is all up and running.

It's the Greatest!

I have a niece and nephew who are only 13 days apart. They are nearly 21 months old already....how crazy is that?! The time has just flown by. I got to see them both just a couple of weekends ago and boy have they grown. They're obviously walking all around, talking and to my surprise...they were both potty trained!! I thought that was very impressive. Now we sit and wait until November...as they are both going to become a big brother and big sister. Their moms are only 3 days apart in the due date. I can't wait to have more nieces and nephews...it's the greatest!

Clean Car

Anyone who knows me knows that I put a lot of time into taking good care of my car. I keep it clean and drive it carefully. Living in a condo I now have the option of washing my car right where I live. I have a hose hookup which works great. I do wish I had one of those pressure washers of some sort, but other than that it's really handy and SO much cheaper than going to the car wash each week. I think I will continue doing this until winter comes...then I don't have a choice but to clean my car somewhere else and indoors of course.

Fresh Air

I have a great patio at my place and seeing how I just moved in a couple of months ago I haven't been able to enjoy it much...especially with no outdoor furniture. Finally...my brother and his wife were shopping and they found me some great stuff. They picked it up for me and it looks GREAT!!! I've been able to use the patio area much more now that there is a place to sit. Now if I only had company a bit more....that would even be better. It's nice just enjoy the nice evenings and relax in the fresh air.

Family Time

This weekend was so great! We had the opportunity to get together as a family and help celebrate my dad's birthday. It's been a while since we could all get together like that...as my brother and his family lived in Texas for 4 years. They recently moved back to the town I live in though and it's the best! Now I just wish my sister and her family would move here too. The lived here when they went to college, but then wanted to be closer to each of their parents and moved north a ways. I know they loved it here though. My sister still talks about her teaching job and how much she misses some of the students she had. She was actually just talking about it this weekend...some story about her classroom furniture or something. Anyways...it's wonderful having everyone close enough to actually get together once in a while...makes me want to rethink my idea of moving far away at some point.

My New Place

I've done a lot of work on my apartment and am finally starting to feel like it's becoming finished. I have a few things left to do, but they are minor.....fixtures and lights to name a couple. I'm just glad that all the painting is done and the furniture has been bought. That was the big part. I'm loving living here and having my own place. I feel like I have probably increased the value greatly already. Sometime soon I will have to post some pics...I'm quite proud. :)

Games

Have you ever played the game marbles before?? My brother and his wife own the game and brought it this past weekend for us to play at my parents. It's SUCH a fun game. I really like it a lot. It's one of those games though that is really hard to find. I think it actually has a different name now. I'm looking for one, because it's definitely one I'd like to own. It'd be a great addition to anyone's game collection.

Will anything change??

Have you noticed how the problems our economy is having has affected every facet of our lives?!? It's very sad. Not only are we hearing the news that many companies are closing down, or letting people go...but we're also seeing a rise in prices in everything from gas to postage stamps. I understand the need for this, but at the same time don't see how a rise in prices is going to help anyone get back on their feet. I hope our government can come up with a good plan....it's quite a difficult time.

Karisma Hotels

Awww...to take a family vacation right about now would be great! I love my job, but who doesn't like time off to take a relaxing vacation somewhere beautiful with the ones you love, right?! I know I do!! I would love to visit the Karisma Hotels one day. They are located on the beaches of the Mexican Riviera Maya and now have a gourmet-inclusive concept which is great for foodies like myself! I also like the elite service they offer and all of their wonderful luxurious accommodations! They have beach beds, bar swings, beach butlers, swim up rooms and more! Luxury is the only word to describe this! Check out their website for more information.

Allergies

I don't know why but these past few days my allergies have been SOOO bad!! I don't really have problems with allergies so much, but for some reason they are really acting up this time of year. My nose is always stuffed up, my throat is scratchy, and I'm sneezing like crazy. I've heard my mom and my sister talk about this as well...so it must be something that many people are dealing with.

Patio Furniture

I recently got some new patio furniture and love it! I needed something out there for me and my guests to sit on while the weather is nice. It's such a nice patio and before getting the furniture I really didn't use it at all. I am excited for my family members to come down this next weekend and try it out. Hopefully they like it! I've already spent so much more time outside because of it...it was a wise purchase.

Options to Make Money From Home

My sister informed me that they are embarking on a new business venture. So far it seems to be going pretty well for them. She's a stay at home mom, and although busy with their little girl...she enjoys keeping busy with little things to make money. She's pretty smart and has made a pretty good income with some of her ideas lately. I'm excited for them and the business they are starting.

Love it!

I love my job. Even thought I'm not in the office, I still have the ability to do work from home. I get paid for it too. It's great! I especially enjoy working on the weekends because then I get paid even more. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect position. I love what I do and all the benefits that come along with it. I hope to continue with John Deere for a very long time! They're a wonderful company.

Air Intakes

There are so many websites out there for cars...how does one come across the right one?! Well...for me I research and take the word of what others are saying. For instance, recently I was looking for air intakes and read some very positive things about CarID. I was impressed with their website and all they have to offer. I wanted to pass their name along for others who are looking for air filters...as I believe they are a company worth taking a look at. Head over there and let me know what you think!

Need Money?!

Who doesn't want a surplus of money, right?! I know I do. In this economy though, it's very hard to feeling you're "ahead". Thankfully I have not felt the large effects of the economy like some have...however I do see small changes in the cost of things and it's frustrating. I wish that our government would start doing something that will actually help...not hurt us more. Hopefully soon...I'm so tired of seeing people losing their jobs of 20 years or more and houses going into foreclosure. Aren't you!?

Moving

My brother and his family are moving back north this weekend. I'm very excited because they will now be living in the same town as me!! It will be fun to see them more than just once a year for sure! I talked to them today and they made some good progress on their move home. They have one uhaul full of cardboard moving boxes. It sounds like it all fit very tightly...but the most important thing is that it fit. The family is all coming down this weekend to help get them moved into their new place. It should be a fun weekend.
