I am already missing summer. I didn’t get to go out on the pontoon boat this summer as the motor broke down and we just didn’t have the money at the time to fix it. We are going to have it fixed over the winter, so that come spring time, we can hit the water with a vengeance to make up for lost time and fun.

Too funny

If everyone drank their coffee out of mugs like this, no one would ever be in a bad mood in the morning. I might buy one just for the giggle effect. I can just see me trying to pour my coffee every morning into it. I would be smiling before I ever had a sip of it.

Parts for Jeeps

My boyfriend has a Jeep that we use for off roading. He is very proud of this Jeep and keeps it in pristine condition. Finding after market parts for it used to be a problem, until he found Kentrol truck parts manufacturer. They have all of the stuff he could ever want to fix up his Jeep. Warrior Reviews can tell you all about Kentrol and what they do. We have bought a lot of parts through them and have plans to buy much more in the future.

They have stainless steel accessories that we really want to use on the Jeep, from bug sheilds, bumper, door and hood accessories to grill guards. I have never seen so many parts that could be used on his truck. One of the most recent things we put on the truck, was a Safari Sports Rack. Since we love to camp, we can load all of the camping equipment up on top and not have to worry about space. That is a major plus when you have kids and it’s a family camping trip. We always need a LOT of stuff to go camping. Now it’s not a problem anymore.

My man was reading about some of their stuff on Warrior Reviews and found that they have body armor for his truck. Now, he wants to put stainless body armor on the truck as well. I think it would look amazing like that, but I am not sure about it all being stainless. I am sure he knows what he is doing and it is his truck after all. He has really good taste too, so it’s all good. My oldest son is enjoying helping him fix the truck up. He makes sure to have my son there, and spend that time together. My son is now a serious Jeep enthusiast.

All the leaves have fallen

Blowing leaves
Blown down by the wind

 

The trees are practically empty now and the time has come to rake them up and burn them. I love the smell of the leaves burning in the chill air. I think this is a project for this weekend. I will get the kids out there with me and we will use the leaf blower and rakes to clean up the yard. We shouldn’t have to do much more to the yard throughout the winter after this weekend.

Tags

Blech. I have to go redo my tags for my car, because I forgot to send it in the mail. I hate having to go down there as there is always a long line. Not to mention, that I was supposed to have done it last month, so I am really driving on a dead tag. I cannot believe that I totally spaced it. Ah well, see you guys on the flip side.

Christmas for my dad

Well I have already ordered one of my dad Christmas presents. I got him some Padron 1926 cigars. They are the some of the best cigars out there and since he doesn’t smoke them that often, I can afford to splurge a bit on him. They are my fathers guilty pleasure. He knows they aren’t really good for you, but just has to have one about once a month. My mom pretends that she doesn’t know, since he is sparing with it. I just laugh, because you only live once, you might as well enjoy a couple of guilty pleasures while you live. After all, you can’t take it with you.

So cold

It is amazingly cold this morning. I had to bundle the kids up really good before they could go catch the bus. I think I will make a big pot of Chili for dinner tonight. I love making stews, chili and such when the weather is cold. It seems like it really warms you up from the inside out.

Deal dash

I just went to DealDash to do a little shopping. I found the site through a friend and she totally recommended it for online shopping. Deal Dash has a lot of the stuff that I need. I bid on a few things that I really liked and will watch to see what happens. DealDash reminds me a lot of what Ebay was like when it first came out, but better.

Loving the Vampire Diaries

I have become totally immersed in the Vampire Diaries show. I have been watching the seasons on Netflix and they are really good. I know that some of them are teens, but the rest are adults or two and three hundred year old vampires that feud with each other constantly. It can be a little monotonous sometimes, but the rest is very good. Time to get back to my Netflix. Later gators.

Time to clean the carpets

The time has come to do some carpet cleaning. It has been a long while since I have had this done and the carpets are looking ragged. Kids have a tendency to track in everything under the sun and spill everything they hold in their hands. Mine are no different. I try to keep them from doing this with certain rules about removing muddy shoes or no carrying food into other rooms, but we all know how well that works. Pretty much not at all. I am considering cleaning them more often.

My carpets are not that old. I had them put in when I bought this house five years ago and they should last a long time. Keeping them cleaned will help with that. I am also going to have to be firmer with the kids about taking drinks into the living room. I have such a weak spot when it comes to them. I wonder if I should have to couches done as well? That might be a good idea, as they are a couple of spots on them from spills. Although those were not from the kids. Those happened when an outdoor BBQ got rained on and everyone had to move inside. Oh well, I will decide later on that.
