My brother in law has a band. This past week he had to invest in some new equipment. He bought something called a Presonus, that he needed for their gigs. It’s something to do with the sound equipment, but I am unfamiliar with it myself. I am just about tone def. I wish I could play and instrument, but I cannot unfortunately. I really love music and I love to go watch his band play. I think I will go see them this weekend.
Work work work
Finally work is picking up. I am so happy about that. This summer has been so slow for work that I have been pinching pennies because of it. I was hoping that work would pick up as school started and I was right. School is just about to start and all of a sudden work has begun to flow better. Just in time too, because I have school supplies to buy for the kids.
New Furniture
I bought a few new pieces of furniture today. It was barn wood furniture that really matches well with my decor. I have slowly been changing my decor to a more pioneer/ Native American motif. I really like the way it all goes together. My friends think I have lost my mind, because they are all ultra modern, but I think my house looks more lived in. It has a comfortable feel to it.
Groceries
I cannot believe how much it cost me to go shopping today. We were out of everything. I ended up spending over four hundred dollars between two different stores and one of them was the dollar store. This is ridiculous. Milk was three thirty a gallon at the dollar store. That is highway robbery in my opinion. Oh well, you can’t get away from buying food, so you have to pay the inflated prices they charge.
A new WII
I am looking for wii console bundles to buy for the kids. Ours has finally died because it gets so much use. The kids have really used it a lot this past year with the weather being so horrible. It has either been too hot outside or too cold and rainy. I feel kind of bad for them, because they have been so bored. I will have to get a few new games as well. I am sure they have beaten all of the ones they have already.
Hawaii
My brother in law and his wife just got back from Hawaii. They went for her sisters wedding. I have wanted to go to Hawaii for so long. I really wish I had been able to go to, but it was not to be. Ah well, someday I will get there. I have some family of my own that lives there and my aunt always tells me to come and visit, but it is very expensive to fly there. Maybe I should make a Hawaii fund and put a little into it each week. That is certainly and idea.
Vacation
I am looking for Florida beach house rentals for our vacation. We are going to the gulf coast of Florida for some summer fun. We are in desperate need to get out of here for a little while. The beaches there are really pretty with sugar soft white sand and the small towns are full of nice people. Hopefully we will be able to take a deep sea fishing trip while we are there. I am not sure yet about that. We shall see.
Sink
Well the sink in the boys bathroom broke. Don’t ask me how that could possibly have happened. I have to order a new one now and plan on buying it from VesselSinks.com. I think they were horsing around when it broke, but of course no one will dare tell me exactly what happened. I wont bother telling them that I had planned on replacing that one anyway, until they fess up. I am not angry or anything, but they do need to calm down a bit. Especially if I am going to fix up their bathroom for them and make it nice.
I know that eventually they will fess up and tell me. They will just wait until they think I have calmed down. I have to laugh at that, since we know I am not really upset. I think perhaps I will ask them if they would like to pick out the stuff for their bathroom. I will let them design it. That will make them extremely happy.
Storms
Wow, last night was amazing with the storms. I all I could hear all night was constant thunder. There was some lightening, but not as much as you would have thought with all the thunder. We have needed the rain so badly and mother nature is definitely making up for the loss now. I don’t think we will be under a burn ban anymore after this week. Not that we have anything to burn, but sometimes we do like a nice bon-fire. Anyway, I need to go outside soon and see if there is anything that needs picked up in the yard. Talk to you people later.
New tile
Well I just bought new tile for the bathroom from edenmosaictile.com. I hope it gets here before next weekend, because I am going to pull out the wall tile in there after work this week. I want to have it completely done by the end of the weekend so I don’t have to worry about it anymore. I made sure that it is exactly what I wanted and the right colors as well. I will be happy when I finish this bathroom up.
I really like doing the work myself on the house, because I can feel a certain amount of pride in it. Not many women will do the DYI stuff themselves. They typically let their boyfriends and husbands do it. Well, not me. Unless it is something I cannot possibly do or requires permits from a licensed contractor, I do it all myself. My father taught me to be self reliant and so I am. Have a great day everyone.
