Alaskan vacation

I have been wanting to go to Alaska forever. I have family there and have never gotten to visit them. My cousin has been trying to get me and the rest of my family to come up for a long time. We have considered it off and on, whether to just go up for a visit or to take a cruise while we are up there. We even looked into alaska hotels to see if we could find one that is near enough to visit family, but also to just enjoy the trip.

This lodge style hotel is just what I am looking for if we decide to go up. I want the full experience of the Alaskan “frontier” style vacation. This kind of hotel embodies that style to it’s fullest.

This is the kind of views you can expect to see in Alaska. I cannot imagine a more beautiful place on earth to visit, I asked my cousin how she could deal with the extreme cold during the winter and she said” The perfect summers make the harsh winters totally worth it”. Can you imagine a “perfect summer”? The perfect temperature all summer long without being too hot at any point is definitely worth experiencing. As much as I love to ski, I don’t think I would ever brave a winter vacation there though. That would be a bit too cold for me.

Tattoo

I think I am going to get a tattoo. I know that a lot of people don’t really like them, but some are really pretty and I have been thinking about it forever it seems. I finally found something I like, although I want my own version of it. This is what it is but mine will have birds instead of flowers in it.

Better late then never

I just wanted to wish everyone a late Happy 4th of July. I have been so busy this weekend that I didn’t have time to get on here until now. We had a blast and BBQ’d everyday, either here or at a friends or relatives. We didn’t stay home at all. The fireworks were awesome as usual and we of course, had some of our own to light off as well. I hope that everyone had as great a weekend as we did.

For my home based business

Now I can print business cards at printingamerica.com for my home based business. I am really glad I found them. I have been looking for a while for a place to get my cards done, but had been unsuccessful until now. I was able to find a company that fits my budget and not charge me an arm and a leg. Happy now !

Cleaning house

I am doing full out house cleaning today. From dusting and mopping, to windows and everything in between. I have an excess of energy today that I just can’t seem to get rid of, so I am going full tilt. These vitamins I have been taking are working really well. I am waiting for the floors to dry so I can get back to work. Until then I am going to surf the web a bit. Have a great day !

New guitar

Well my honey wants a new guitar. There is a BC Rich Warlock he has his eye on and has actually been drooling over it. I think it is hilarious because he is like a little child about it. He wants his new toy very badly. I am seriously thinking about buying it for him for Christmas, if he hasn’t already gotten it by then. I can just see his face now when he opens it. It will be priceless.

Working in the garden

I have been working in my garden a lot lately. We may not have had much rain, but the weeds are still growing exponentially. At least it seems that way. I have some really great herbs growing and will have plenty to dry. I prefer to use them fresh, but once the growing season is over, I will have to harvest what is left and either replant some into the kitchen containers or dry them. It isn’t very difficult to do. You just cut them and then use string to wrap them into bundles. Then you hang them up. After they dry out, you can bottle or bag them according to how you like to store them. It’s easy peasy!

Glad that’s over

I hope everyone had a great holiday season. I know that we still have the New Years celebration to do yet, but I don’t really count that as part of the holiday. After all I am back to work before then and it’s just another day. Fortunately for me I am not in retail or service and don’t have to worry about being inundated with customers because of it. I really feel sorry for those who work in the industries previously mentioned. They get so busy they barely have time to breath.

Once New Years passes, we can officially get back to normal life. That will be a good thing. I am so tired of the holiday season already. People just act too angry during the holidays now. It get really annoying. I remember the days when people used to be happy and sing carols and such, but not anymore. It has become so commercialized that everyone is just running in place to keep up. Enough ranting about that though. I have a lot of work to do and very little time to get it done.

Light and Love

Such a beautiful sentiment. I really think that people would be much happier if they just thought along these lines. A positive attitude is much better than a negative one. Life seems to go along much easier if you are determined to be happy.

I try to keep this in mind all the time but it isn’t always easy. Anyway, I hope you all have a great day and enjoy the picture.

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.
