Notes from Abigail
Once in a great while I will see something on Face Book that really strikes me enough to take the time to comment on as well as saving the image onto my hard drive in order to post it here on my personal blog.
A good friend of mine from our high school days posted this today and it really hit home. I just couldn’t resist posting it here today. It deserves it, she deserves it and last but not least I deserve it!
There is a lot to be said when a business has been around for almost 30 years. Thirty years, that is a really long time if you think about it.
For a business that started out in the 1980’s when the economy was doing very well and has made it clean right through to these past couple of years that has been so horrific for the majority of people all across the board is incredible.
Russell Allen & Associates, Inc is a great firm if you are looking for small business tax prep and other accounting services in the Charlotte, North Carolina area.
Having to deal with my taxes each year before the April 15th deadline is hard enough, I can’t image all that is required for a small business to keep Uncle Sam nicely fat and happy and away from your front door.
With a little extra money this week we bought us a wii, and we love it like no other gaming system we have ever had. Nintendo has a hit as far as I am concerned, we love the wii sports and wii games discs. My grandson has got a lot of fun out of the tanks on the wii play disc and I have become a pro at bowling and tennis on the wii sports disc.
We bought our wii system from Save Buckets, they have a great website with so much to choose from and great prices that I have not been able to beat anywhere on the internet. I will be checking on this great site for more games to go with our new wii system.
I can not wait to get more games for us to play on our wii system and I think that getting new games will be very exciting for our grandson and us. I am not so old that playing games is still a blast and a great way to pass the time of day. David has had a blast making the mii’s for the different players and he is pretty good at it even though he is only six years old.
Sometimes people should have a mute button. I wished that the person I was conversing with had had one today. I would have gladly pushed it before she released way too much information.
Luckily for her the information she released was not that harmful but could have been saved for inside of her head! Oh well unfortunately people do not have a mute button and we can really only truly be responsible for our own actions. However, these same actions do have the ability sometimes to effect others. Therefore what would really be nice is to have the ability to scan and mute any words/ actions that could impact other peoples lives. This is all a dream of course.
Now that it has gotten real hot and humid, the air conditioning on my Tahoe has decided to go out. I am not sure how much it will cost to get fixed but I have to get it in the shop to find out.
None of our vehicles right now has working air conditioning and that is a bad deal all the way around. It was 95 degrees today and they say that it is going to be even hotter tomorrow, I have to get the air conditioning fixed in one of our vehicles soon.
Each summer we hear stories about people leaving their kids or their pets in their cars during the extreme heat. It breaks my heart. I don’t understand why anyone would think that this would be acceptable. I think that those who are found guilty of this type of behavior should be punished in the same manner as the victim was treated.
The technology behind the invention of lockers has increased greatly over the years. Lockers come in various shapes, sizes and textures. They can be seem in multiple venues and places where people feel the need to lock up their stuff.
People in the United States I think take their privacy very seriously. Using a locker is one way that an individual can ensure their property will still be available when they want it. As I mentioned before, lockers come in multiple forms. The one type of locker that I rarely hear much about are wood lockers. I am not even sure who would purchase these types. My guess would be country clubs. The type of locker that always comes to mind when thinking about them are school lockers.
Schools have several uses for lockers. Inside a school, lockers can be found in hallways, break rooms and gymnasiums. Growing up I always disliked the gym lockers the most. They were always too small and smelled. I think that these particular lockers never got cleaned. They were always disgusting! I wonder if there are lockers for sale that would eliminate stinky gym shoes?
We are going for our monthly girls night out. I think we will hit the Blues bar this month. I have to see what the consensus is with everyone else first though. I do vaguely remember on our last night out, we had said Blues Bar this time, so we shall see.
My mother is going to keep the kids over night, so I do not have to worry about them. I can crash at a friends if I choose and not even go home till morning. That is a good thing, since one of my friends lives in town and I can park at her place, then take a cab to the bar. No drinking and driving for us.
One of my absolute favorite kinds of cheese is provolone cheese. I think that this cheese goes really great with almost any sandwich. Personally, I prefer to use it the most in my sandwiches. Provolone has a nice mild flavor that mixes quite well with turkey and roast beef.
Another kind of cheese that I use a lot in Italian dishes is ricotta cheese. The dish that I use ricotta the most in is lasagna. I have tried multiple types of lasagna recipes and I think that recipe that ricotta works the best in is crock pot lasagna. The cheese melts really well in the crock pot especially because it is able sit for hours and melt amongst the rest of the ingredients.
Amongst all of the delicious cheeses to choose from I usually try to pick low fat cheese. Cheese although, good for you is also very high in fat. In moderation cheese is good for you. However, many of us have a hard time because cheese is nearly found in all dishes we eat.
Has anyone tried that new Stride gum? I bought a pack of it a few days ago. The package says it is a mystery flavor. I was curious so I had to try it for myself.
After I tried the first piece I was pleasantly surprised. It tasted pretty good. It is a fruity flavor verses a minty one. I will have to try another piece before I reach a conclusion on what fruit it might be representing.
This year I don’t have to guess what to purchase to give to my dad on Father’s Day. I have already found a great website with an awesome selection of Heat Guns, Soldering Irons and Hot Knives to pick from to order for him. Now I just have to decide on which one to actually purchase. Father’s Day is only a few short weeks away so I better hurry up and pick one. I’m sure he would love any of them.
