Family and friends

I have been a bit of a loner lately. I haven’t been talking to my family and friends like I usually do and I am surprise they haven’t said anything about it. I guess all the trouble I have had lately just sent me inside of myself a bit and I didn’t want to burden them with my troubles. I know that everyone is having a rough time right now. The economy is really bad right now.

I have never seen things stay this bad for so long and it has me worried. I know that I am not alone in that, and I hope that with the oncoming new year things will get better all around. I am sure that they will. Hard work and determination will take you as far as you want to go.

Christmas

I know no one wants to think about Christmas yet, but I like to start early. That way I have most of it done and only have to pick up a few last minute items. I have been doing a lot more browsing and window shopping so I have a good idea of what I want to buy. I am sure that I will be able to get some of it online as well.

My son wants a little RC Helicopter. I know that they sell them in the mall at a little kiosk, but I did check at Wally world as well and Wally’s was more expensive, believe it or not. I was rather surprised at that. Doesn’t really matter as long as it is a good one and not a cheap version. I don’t want it to break by the end of Christmas day. It has to last a while. Ah well, I will figure out what to do. Have a great day people.

End of summer sales

I really love the end of summer sales. Not just back to school, but the basic end of season sales. Everything they have been pushing all summer long goes on deep discount and I can stock up for next summer without worrying about what I will need. I just store it in the garage in the summer container and voila! I have everything I possibly need. How is that for planning ahead? Doing my little happy dance now.

You never know

You never know where life it going to take you. I have been all over this country. Lived everywhere it seems, but each place I have been I have met great people. I have also met some not so great people. I miss those whom I have had to leave behind, but I try to keep in touch as much as I can, by phone or online.

I was fortunate to be able to talk to my brother a couple of days ago. He has his own lawn care company. He has had it for a really long time and has built it from the ground up all on his own. He does a really good job with it and I am very proud of him. I am hoping that he will come visit me soon. At least he said he was going to scoop up dad and head up this was in a couple of months. I can’t wait to see him. So anyway, I will let you go. Have a great day.

Dinner

Last nights dinner was amazing. My sister in law made this glazed chicken tenders entree that was to die for. It was so simple too. All she did was take some Zesty Italian salad dressing mixed with some honey and pour it over the chicken tenders in the skillet. Then she simmered them until the chicken was cooked through and the sauce turned a pretty brown color. I will have to remember that recipe because we really loved it. I like to learn how to make new dishes because eating the same stuff all the time can get boring. I don’t like boring food.

DIY

I used the diy sweepstakes for a little bit of fun and trying to win some stuff for remodeling my house. You all know how much a love to remodel. I swear I just can’t keep my house in one design or motif. My mom says I have a remodeling OCD bug. She is probably right. I just laugh when she says that. The diy sweepstakes was fun to play. I like to play games online, but they are usually MMO’s and not other kinds.

I sent a link for diy sweepstakes to my mom to see if she likes it too. She hasn’t answered my email yet, but I know that she has been busy today with doctors appointments. I hope all of the doctors appointments go well for her. The older you get the more you seem to fall apart. I take good care of myself because of it.

Getting Crazy Around Here

Things have been getting a little crazy but at least my life is not boring. I’m not a drama queen at all, but i have a large circle of friends and family who keep me on my toes. This week has been a challenging one – but it’s never boring.

Spring break

Well it’s spring break and I am going to spend some time with my niece and nephews. I try to take them every so often to give my sister a break and to spoil them rotten. I am going to take them to see a movie or two and keep them for the whole weekend. I might even take them bowling, because I know they just loved that last time we went. Of course we have to hit up Chucky Cheese as well. That is kind of standard issue with them. Time to get the house ready.
