For some strange reason I am craving cake. I want a big slice of chocolate cake, with dark fudge icing. I have no idea why I want chocolate cake at this time of night – and No, I’m not preggo! There is no way I am going to bake a cake tonight – I would probably fall asleep while it was in the oven and burn the place down! So I’ll have a cup of hot tea and head to bed. I hope the craving is gone by morning.
Not Feeling Well Tonight
Just not feeling well tonight. I don’t really know what is wrong. It is hard to describe. I have this queasiness and I feel dizzy when I stand up. Hopefully if I just go to bed and get some sleep I will be better in the morning. Let;s hope tomorrow is a better day.
Water chores
This weekend I’m going up to the lake place and take out the dock. It’s kind of a bittersweet type of thing for me to do, since it feels like it marks the end of the summer. There is still the beach access to the water on the warm last days, and even sometimes into the beginning of October, but I love to run the length of the dock and dive right in. I’ll recruit a few of my guy friends and girlfriends to help out and well all grill and we always have a good time doing this, but I hate summer to end.
Advertisement necessity
I’ve been hearing a lot of information about how people with businesses no matter how big or small would do really well with an Advertising Agency and I’m beginning to really realize exactly how true that is. Lots of people who have even small personal businesses are basically going under and not surviving because of not having the time or the know how to advertise properly for themselves and their business.
I have to admit that I indeed have heard so much about how businesses really need proper advertising in order to survive, especially with the economy the way it is right now. Personally, my girlfriend told me that the reason her jewelry business didn’t succeed because she didn’t have the know how to advertise her jewelry and beaded purses that she makes. They are really beautiful, but she just didn’t have the time to do the advertising herself and like I said, the “know how” to really make her items sell. I’ve gotten quite a few earrings and other items from her, and not only are they beautiful, they are also durable and not cheap looking at all.
Now a days, there is so much that can be done with businesses that need and want to be recognized that the best way to go is to have professionals do this for you.
A flooded bathroom
Today I heard water running, and not the kind like from a faucet. It was more like a very loud spraying sound. It sounded like someone was taking a shower with the water on full force. My dog can’t take a shower by himself, of course, and he and I were the only “people” in the house. I walked in the bathroom only to get body hit, head to toe with a full heavy spay of water. The line right above the shut off valve to the toilet had sprung a major leak. Leak? Heck, it was a multiple jet spray, to say the very least. I was able to get to the shut off valve and now will no doubt have to pay a fortune for someone to come fix it. Needless to say, I am not happy.
Computer troubles
I’ve got to have my computer geek nephew look at my PC and figure out why it’s running way too slow. I’ve been having problems with my server for the last couple months, and they say it’s not them. Of course they are going to say that, right? I mean, as long as they get their money they don’t care what problems I am having. Hence me thinking about changing my internet service. This computer should not be running so slow, nor should I have problems waiting forever for pages to load. While my sister in law and I were looking at dresses for her, I totally froze up. This isn’t good, I don’t think. She suggested that I have her son look at it, so as soon as he can get over here, I’m sure he will try and fix the problem if possible. Gotta love that kid!! 🙂
Dislike of shopping
I used to enjoy to go shopping. I never really liked clothes shopping because of having to of course, try everything on, but it was never bad if I had someone with me, since they could go out and get clothes they knew I liked, and bring them in for me to try on. Now, trying to shop for something to wear for the up coming wedding, and also shoes, then trying to figure out what to get the couple for a gift, is sort of loosing it’s allure. Not to mention going to store after store to find what I’m looking for…that is getting old fast. Kicker is, I have another wedding and a baby shower to go to in the next two months also. The thought of shopping online is more appealing to me now that it ever was. And just giving money to the couple makes a whole lot of sense to me!
Larger sizes
My sister in law was having a terrible time as she is a big boned woman and gained some weight that she really is having a hard time getting toned back up. I feel for her, as after her last child was born, she has not been able to drop the weight she had gained. She had a hard pregnancy with the last baby and had to be on total bed rest, which also made her put the weight on. She wears plus size dresses, but she is having a hard time finding a nice style, and she was always fashion conscious in the past and dressed really nicely.
We have a family wedding coming up and my sister in law is working out and watching her diet, and though she is loosing the weight it is slow going for her but she has really toned it and we are trying to find her a plus size dress to wear to this function. Bless her heart…she works so hard, and I see how difficult it is for her to drop the “baby” weight, but the whole family encourages her and she and I have gotten online to find that perfect dress to wear to the wedding. I’m sure she will be just beautiful, as I think she is and always will be both inside and out.
I know how hard it has been for her to tone up and also shop with the kids very young still, so I’m going to surprise her with one of the dresses she has her eye on. Its a lovely plus size dress, and it also has a slimming effect to it. It also can be worn places other than weddings!
Cooler weather
It seems to be a bit cooler this morning. Of course, I am up super early since I went to sleep really way to early last night. I woke up with sort of a scratchy throat and couldn’t go back to sleep. The cooler air feels good, compared to 95 degree weather at three am, like we have had. This is no doubt why I have a semi sore throat. Go figure. Changes in weather always do that to me. I think I’m going to try and find a movie to watch and also try to drift back to sleep for awhile if it’s possible.
Surprise Visit
Just got a call from my friend, Connie, and it was good news! She and the kids are coming through on their way to St. Joseph’s and want to spend a day hanging out. That will be awesome! I haven’t seen Connie is ages.
Maybe we can go to the community pool for the day and just cool off in the water instead of being cooped up in the house for the sake of air conditioning. My only concern is whether her daughter will enjoy that, as she recently broker her arm and its in a cast. Of course we want to include her and make she she has a good time, too.
Whatever we do will have to be planned around some way to beat this awful summer heat. Can you believe it hit 100 degrees again today?
