I found some pretty new colors for my nail polish collection. I got them really cheap at the dollar store, they were only a buck a piece. This pretty blue-green color has a lot of sparkle to it, it’s called Treasure Island. I really like sparkly nail polish when I do my nails myself. This is what it looks like.
Dallas office cleaning
I was able to track down a Dallas office cleaning business for my cousin. Since he is starting his own practice and needs someone reputable to come in and clean the doctors office every night, I had to find one for him. He has been so busy trying to get everything ready to open the doors, that he almost forgot to get the cleaning crew.
This particular company uses an environmentally green clean method that is really good and makes sure everything is completely sterile. I am sure that he is going to be happy with their service as they came highly recommended.
Three day weekend
I completely forgot that this was a three day weekend. I started to get the kids up for school this morning, but fortunately I started with my eldest who informed me that it is MLK Jr. day and he has no school. He then told me to go back to bed and rolled over and went back to sleep. I had to chuckle over that. Made my day though, I went back to bed and slept in for another four hours. When the kids woke up, they didn’t even wake me up. My kids made themselves some pop tarts and have been playing games ever since. They are such good kids.
Going over the list
I have been going over the list of people who RSVP’d that they would be attending and I don’t believe we ordered enough wedding favors. There are lot more people accepting then we originally thought would accept. Of the two hundred and sixty invitations sent out, roughly two hundred and fifteen have accepted the invite. This is going to be a really big wedding, much larger then she had previously anticipated. We have been really surprised at how many people are going to fly in for the wedding. She has a large family and apparently so does the groom. I am going to wait out another week and then order more of the supplies that we are short on.
I will have everything taken care of in time for the wedding, of that I have no doubt. We have plenty of time to get everything sorted out. This may be a lot of work, but it is also a lot of fun. I really like planning weddings. I should do this for a living. People who plan weddings for a living, make really good money. I have talked to a few of them about it and it is very competitive as well. One man wouldn’t even talk to me, because he said I was potential competition. I thought that was funny.
Yuck
Well that was not good to wake up to. The dog decided to get into the cats litter box and eat what the cat had left behind. Eww, factor of one million, but it also made her really sick and we had to clean the mess up first thing this morning. I didn’t even get to have a cup of coffee first. That is not the best way to start a Saturday morning. I had to scrub the carpet to keep the dyes in her dog food from staining the carpet. It has not been a pleasant morning so far.
I finally got my coffee and now have a ton of work to do today. The kids want to go to the movies later, but I am not sure. There are several movies that look good, but it is expensive and money is a little tight right now. I am still playing catch up after the holidays. I will have to check my finances before I give them the green light on that. Anyway, I am going to knock this work out, so I can enjoy the rest of my day. Later Gators!
Wow
This ice storm was really kind of scary. Fortunately for us it wasn’t as bad as they predicted. I was worried about losing power due to ice, but didn’t. I am prepared for storms like this though. I have a generator and fireplace to keep the house warm. I keep wood for the fireplace stocked up at all times. I don’t think we will have to worry too much about it anymore though. We are getting closer to spring with every day and have had a relatively mild winter so far.
It hasn’t been very fun for the kids though. They were hoping for some snow, so we could go sledding and build snowmen. That did not happen. We only get that kind of snow once every three or four years. Oh well, maybe next year they will get their wish.
hcg
Hcg is the new way to lose weight. The drops help kick your metabolism into gear and use up stored fat. Finally a natural way to use the hormones already produced by your body to make it do what it is supposed to do. Losing weight can make you feel better in more ways then one. Of course you will feel better about yourself, but you will have more energy and feel good all over in the process. Being overweight can cause all kinds of problems with your body, from polysystic ovarian syndrome to diabetes. Losing weight can help make these problems better or get rid of them altogether. Take good care of yourself and get back into shape.
Weird news
Passengers on a flight from Australia’s northern most city of Cairns had an odd occurrence. During their two hour flight to Papa New Guinea they watched a ten foot python struggle to stay on the wing of the plane and not get tossed off by the high speed winds. One man took video of it as it happened. As the cold winds pushed it backwards, the snake would inch back up and cling to the wing of the plane. I am pretty sure that the passengers where happy that he was outside the plane rather then inside it, but I feel sorry for the snake since he did not make it. By the time they landed the snake was dead. Probably from the battering it took from the wind. It does remind me of that movie “Snakes on a plane” with Samuel L Jackson. I am rather happy that I was not on the flight myself though.
Seascape
I have always had an affinity for dolphins, whales and sea turtles. I was originally born in Miami Florida and being so close to the ocean, I spent a lot of time at the beach. I went to Sea World and the Miami Seaquarium growing up and for a while, I wanted to be a marine biologist. I wanted to work with those beautiful creatures I saw at those places. They always seemed so happy and peaceful.
There is a place in the Florida Keys where you can pay to swim with the dolphins. The money goes towards research and rescue facility. They have a family of Atlantic bottle nosed dolphins and a family of California sea lions. Dolphins are very sociable mammals and love to interact with humans, both in captivity and in the wild. They have been known to save sailors and other people from drowning throughout the ages and even today. One day I hope to take my kids to the Keys to swim with the dolphins. It will be a fun and educational trip for them that they will remember forever. Perhaps this coming summer I will make a trip down there for just that. I know that they will love it.
Wedding invitations
These Wedding invitations are just beautiful. I love the colors and the scrolling typeset. It took forever for us to pick them out and with ever RSVP that comes back I am reminded why we chose them. Weddings are so much fun, but can also be a bit of a headache as well. There are so many things that have to be done and so much to choose from. Sometimes it can be more than a little bit over whelming. I try to be as organized as possible with it and that helps tremendously. Good organizational skills will always help wit any project large or small.
