Oh no

My Aunt just called and told me that she has a busted water pipe. We need to find her a plumber calgary area or there about. She is elderly and doesn’t have anyone nearby any more. Most all of her kids moved back to the States and she refuses to sell her old house and come down here as well. I really wish that she would though, because she is just too old to be living that far away from all of the family.

Don’t get me wrong. She is not completely alone. The street she lives on is full of people who adore her. They stop by to check on her and see if she needs anything, but when she does, she wont ask. I will call the neighbor that is across the street from her and have him go take a look see. At the very least he can turn off the water until the plumber gets there to fix it. I am also going to call my mom and the other aunts for them to start campaigning for her to move back here again. Every so often they all start up and she almost agrees. Maybe this will be the lucky one and she will say yes.

Japan

Have you ever wanted to visit Japan? I want to. There is so much to see in Japan. They have such a rich history and culture. I have picked out two hotels that I would love to stay in during my visit. The first is Keio Plaza Tokyo Hotel. I really like the way it looks. I have checked it out online and the rooms and such are just plain awesome. I thought they would be small since the Japanese are into small space living, but these are not in the least bit small. I was pleasantly surprised by this. I am sure that they are as large as they are, because of the world travelers like lots of room, so they can feel at home.

The second one is actually The Ritz Carlton in Tokyo. The Ritz Carlton is very famous for their hotels as you know and who wouldn’t want to stay in one of them. I really think that either one would be great. I want to experience Tokyo in style. I would love to just travel around the world and take my time in each place I visited. I play the lottery with that thought in mind.

I would really take an entire summer to just go from place to place. I would see all of the historic sights there are as well as the natural landmarks and such. Mount Fuji would be a great sight to see in Japan as well. I have seen pictures of it’s imposing heights and the movies love to portray it as erupting in a few of them. I believe that it is an active volcano. I would have to look that up though. I don’t believe that it has erupted in a very long time though. I did see something on discovery about the park that is part of it. They say it is haunted. I wonder if that is true.

Smoking

I have smoked for linger then I can remember, but i have decided to quit smoking and get into shape. I am over weight and have type two diabetes. The diabetes, my doctor says will more than likely go away if I lose weight. My weight fluctuates within a twenty pound range. I have actually been doing well on losing the weight part, but will be more suscessful if I start working out. I can’t work out unless I quit smoking. This I know. So wish me luck on quitting smoking and with my workout.

Working on my classic car

I’m not sure if I ever told you guys, but I bought a classic car to restore. It is a 1973 El Camino SS. It has a 350 big block engine, with an Edelbrock four barrel carborator, Edelbrock cam and a super charged distributor. I am in heaven when I drive this car and yes folks it is drive able. I will clean up the motor a little bit, but the only real work that needs to be done, is to the body.

The floorboards are rotted through and need to be fixed, as well as a few other rusted out spots. Other then that, it really is minimal body work. I am going to leave the original color, but I will put a new one on it with one addition. I am putting the racing strips back on it, that some one decided to cover up. I cannot wait to see it when it is finished.

Going out to dinner

We are going out to dinner to one of my favorite restaurants. It’s an Old English pup style place with the best food ever. I have been craving a prime rib just for some time now and there are not very many places that make that dish any longer.

They also serve and old fashioned English Shepherds pie. Now that is really hard to find. Of course there are also the obligatory fish and chips, etc… but it is well worth the drive to get there. The prices are really good as well.

 

Happy Valentines day to all

I just wanted to send out a Happy Valentines Day to everyone! Today is a great day to spend with your loved ones and let each other know how much you appreciate them. I have already gotten a few little presents for the kids and will make them a special dinner. Hope your day is as great as mine is.

The mall

I went to the mall today to do a little shopping and found out some really good deals. Most of the time I stay away from the mall as it used to be so expensive, but not anymore. It seems like the higher end stores are trying to compete with the major chains like Walmart and the sales are better then Walmart, Target or even Kmart. I was pleasantly surprised. I was able to buy a bunch of stuff I didn’t even intend to get, because I saved so much on what I went there for.

I do believe that I will have to make trips to the mall more often now that I know it is worth it. I know that the kids will love that. I have a feeling that we will be going there a lot now. lol

Wine with dinner

I am having a dinner party at my house for a few friends and my boyfriend. My mother is taking the kids for the weekend, so I can have some adult time. I am making a Chicken Bruschetta with angel hair pasta, a spinach salad and garlic rolls. I want to have a nice Chardonnay with it because white wine goes best with chicken. I have made this dish plenty of times and even the kids love it.

It has been a long time since I have been able to have a dinner party like this. I will have to buy several bottles of wine, and I might even have a little champagne to toast with. I haven’t made up my mind on that one. I plan to get one of those word games for us to play as well after dinner. I used to have one, but the kids lost a lot of the question and answer cards to it. They have a lot of new ones out now anyway. I think one of the Pictionary games would be best. They have a few different kind of them for me to chose from. I also will break out the Jenga game as well. I really love to play that one. Once the wine starts flowing, it gets really fun.

The hcg is working great

I really am over the top with this new hcg diet. I have lost a good amount of weight already and for see much more to come. I never thought that it would be this easy to do. I have struggled with weight loss for so long it is unbelievable. Having kids can play havoc with a woman’s body and losing weight after pregnancy can be very difficult with each successive birth. I have been very fortunate in finding these drops to help me with that. I have never felt this good about myself before, not even as a teen. I hope that everyone else who tries it has the same results I do.
