We are going out tonight to the Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the game and have a little fun with friends. We haven’t been out with friends at night in a long time and this will be a lot of fun. I remember the days when we used to go out for Monday night football all the time. Beer and chicken wings and a good game with friends was so much fun. I am glad we get to do it tonight.
Labor Day weekend
How was your Labor day weekend. Ours was fabulous. We spent time with family and friends at BBQ’s and out on the water as well one day boating. The kids had a blast learning to waterski and water board. We found a great spot to BBQ on an island in the middle of the river as well as play some volleyball in the water. By the time the weekend was over, we were all slightly burnt (even though we used lots of sunscreen) and totally beat. I guess you can say we played hard this past weekend.
Need a limo
Okay so I flew down to Tampa to spend a couple of days with an old friend and go to a concert. We decided to find a st petersburg fl limo service to take us to and from the concert. We planned on drinking at the concert and no one wanted to be the designated driver, so we hired one. We had a blast at the concert and were responsible as far as driving goes. Yay for us!
Moving home
Yay! My childhood friend Kristy is moving back home from Salt Lake City. She moved there after high school to attend college and decided to stay, because she like it there so much. Now though, she really misses her parents and is about to have her first child, so she is coming home. She is an only child and her parents have been asking her to come back for a while now. I guess she finally caved in about it since her parents are too old to make a move there. Fortunately her in-laws are all actually here in the east as well, so they will be happy about it too.
The moverssaltlakecity.com people are going to take care of everything for her as she can’t really do anything because she is so far into her pregnancy. I can’t wait till she gets here. A few friends and I are going to help her organize her house once everything arrives, so she doesn’t have to do it all by herself. I know her mother will try to help too, but as I mentioned before she is elderly and we don’t want her to over do it. Kristy was a late in life baby, in case you can’t tell.
My yard
Well the storms over the weekend wrecked havoc on my yard and trees. I bought some tools from Sherrill Tree so we could go out and clean up the branches that are down and to trim the trees in preparation for the coming winter. I usually do it twice a year. Once in the spring, in time for the spring and summer storms and again in the fall. I kind of dropped the ball this year, because I didn’t do it earlier in the year. I know that I should have but I spaced it.
Our weather was mild this past spring which was why I forgot about it. It will be okay though. Now that it is being done, I will only have to have do it once this year. Next spring I will make sure to get it done when I usually do. I certainly don’t want to have any accidents happen like my next door neighbors. They had a really large branch come down on their porch roof and had to spend a lot of money fixing it. It would have been cheaper for them to have the trees trimmed then to have to deal with fixing the house too.
Kitchen Designs
As you know I have spent a lot of time remodeling and designing my house. Everyone who has been here absolutely loves what I have done and I have even had a couple of people ask me to help them redo parts of their homes. They have even offered to pay me for my ideas. I recently found some really great kitchen design ideas online. I plan to use them to help do my friend Sandy’s kitchen.
She is coming over later and I will show her some of the new kitchens designs I have found and see what parts she likes. We may be able to mix and match something that suits her personality. I know that she likes the more modern look, and that shouldn’t be a problem to find something that she will love in the online kitchens showrooms.
Her husband has told her to do whatever pleases her, because he knows that he will like it, as their tastes are about the same. Plus, she spends more time in the kitchen than he does anyway, since he can’t cook at all. He practically burns water if he tries to boil it. This works out great for her as she will get exactly what she wants.
Happy 4th of July
I just wanted to give a shout out to all our men and women in service as well as to wish everyone a Happy 4th. Today is going to be a great day, we have lots of activities planned and I know that we will have a blast. We are going to a BBQ and then will shoot off fireworks while we watch the big fireworks from across the water. It is great having friends with the perfectly placed house to see fireworks from.
Memorial weekend
Memorial weekend was a blast! We took the boat out on the river and camped out for the first big weekend of the summer. There were several other families that are good friends of ours as well as the river being chock full of boats and people. The sand bar was so full, boats were tethered to each other out into the river to keep from floating away. A great time was had by all! Since I was gone all weekend and didn’t have time, Thanks to all our veterans!
Sending Some Hcg to My Girl
I am sending some of these hcg drops to my girlfriend in California. When she found out exactly how well they were working for me, she got really excited and wants to try it out and see how it works for her. Since she doesn’t make a lot of money, I am being nice and helping her out with them. It really doesn’t take much to help a friend in need and she is a really good friend. There was a time when she helped me out when I was having some serious problems and I am happy to return the favor. I hope they work as well for her as they have for me.
Not sure how to handle this
Apparently the girls next door are being really nasty to my kids. I have forbidden them to come over and told my kids to just stay away from them. Unfortunately, I can’t discuss this with their parents because there really nasty people too. Any overtures will be escalated into a fight that could end up involving the police. I feel sorry for those girls because they come from a really messed up family, but I am tired of the drama. To top that off, ever since they changed the kids bus driver there has been nothing but problems.
I guess I am going to have to talk to the bus driver myself, although she has to know that I have been trying to get her moved off of this bus. I am pretty sure it will be a pointless conversation. I will try this afternoon though. After that, I will go make a formal complaint at the school board. If they do not do something, then I will call the media and get them involved. I have had enough of this. I don’t see what the difficulty is, in making sure these girls stay away from my kids on the bus.
