Gosh I had a lot of errands to do today. I had to got to like five different stores to get everything done and make a trip to the dump on top of it. I had to go to the tobacco store for a carton of cigs, then to the Co-Op for de-wormer for the dog. After that I hit the dump on the way to the Dollar and grocery stores. I know that I went somewhere else too, but for the life of me I cannot remember what the other place was. I know that sounds bad, but all I can do is laugh a little bit about it. I think the kids have sucked all of the brain cells I had left out with each birth, not to mention the raising of them. Oh well, I guess it doesn’t matter. I think I got everything done I needed to. Now am doing laundry, cooking dinner and working in between the two. Talk about multi tasking.
The saxophone
My son has decided he wants to play the saxophone. He has listened to jazz and the blues with me all of his life and has fallen in love with the sound. My dad used to play the sax and that is also a factor as well. I told my father about it and he has offered his old sax to my son to use. I have to look up Morgan mouthpieces because that has to be changed first, but it shouldn’t be too difficult to find.
For my Jeep
I found more parts for my 4WD Jeep. I really am having a lot of fun shopping for the stuff I want to fix it up. There is so much to choose from when it comes to modifying a Jeep. I have looked at all different set ups and have a few different ones in mind. Like most women, I am having a little trouble making up my mind about them. They all look so good, that it is hard to choose. I was thinking about putting a rack on the top of it for storage, but I am not sure which one will be better.
There is also new bumpers and fenders and other such stuff which will make my Jeep look amazing. My boyfriend has fixed his up and made it look really good. When he bought me mine for Christmas, he bought it with fixing it up foremost in his mind. My Jeep is a little different from his, but the concept is the same. We have had so much fun with our jeeps, that my brother is considering buying one as well. He was over here yesterday watching us search this site for parts. He gave his input of course on what he thought would look good and be useful as well.
I have a place drawn out with only a few adjustments for other stuff. Bestop is going to help me with some of that. I can’t wait to see the finished product. It is going to be so sweet looking. I hope to have it all done by the end of April. That should give me plenty of time before camping season gets here. We are already planning our first trip to the Smokey Mountains. We will be going as soon as school lets out half way through May. It’s going to be so much fun.
My Jeep
I am getting a new Rugged Ridge Bumper for my Jeep. I am so happy, because I finally get to start upgrading my ride. I want everything ready to go for camping and four wheeling season. Mine will have a winch in it for those times when I need to pull myself out or help someone else get unstuck. It never hurts to be prepared after all.
We have been making plans to go to a few really big gatherings this coming summer. We want to travel a bit and be able to take the kids to places that we have never been before. There are massive four wheeling events all over the United States. No matter where you live, you can find at least two or three in the surrounding areas to go to. I have never lacked for places to go four wheeling. I fell in love with big trucks and mudding when I was in high school. I used to go on the weekends with my friends on ATV’s and a few trucks as well.
My Jeep is my baby, just like my fiance’s Jeep is his baby and we are very particular about how we want them to be. His Jeep is just about finished thanks to me and the Christmas presents I bought him for it. There are only a couple of things he wants to get for it and then he will be completely done. Now it is my turn and I get to go all out for mine. I have picked out a bunch of stuff for it, but haven’t totally decided exactly which to buy. There is just so much that you can do to a Jeep to upgrade it, that choosing can be difficult. My fiance will help me narrow it down some and then I will make the final decisions. We are actually sketching out what it will look like with all of the new parts on it.
Still Waiting for My Package
I have been waiting forever for a package to come in the mail. I made the mistake of ordering something on Ebay without checking the box for only in the US. It is coming from China and was supposed to be here before Christmas. I even paid for over night shipping. I have a feeling that when it finally comes, it may not be what I even paid for. I usually never make that mistake after the last time this happened. It took six weeks to get what I ordered and I was not happy about it. I hope that it comes soon though.
Online Product Reviews
If you want to check them out you can easily find triangle direct media reviews online. You can find a review for just about anything that you are interested in. If you want to buy a product and aren’t sure how good it is, you can just look up reviews for it through Google and there will be plenty. I always check reviews before I make a large purchase.
Wedding flutes
These wedding flutes are gorgeous. I just love the elegance of them. I am one of those women who has a china cabinet full of china and crystal. The glass part of the cabinet has mostly crystal in it and only a couple of pieces of china. These wedding flutes will look really good in my cabinet. As I am in the bridal party, we ordered enough for all of the brides maids and maid of honor to take a pair home with them. I can’t wait to add them to my collection. I already have a spot all picked out to put them in.
Wine wedding favors
Oh these Wine wedding favors are so cute. They are double heart wine bottle stoppers and I love the way they look. I can’t wait till the wedding to have mine. I know that I could have it now, but I will wait like everyone else. After all, that is part of the fun. The wedding is only a couple of months away and I get more excited as each day passes. You would think it was my wedding as excited as I am. That is how things are when you have a close friend like mine. Our lives have been entwined since we were kids and I couldn’t imagine my life without her. I am certainly happy that I really like her fiance. He has become like a brother to me, just as she is like a sister. I am so happy for them.
Orders from headquarters
Okay, yes I am laughing, because I am talking about ordering stuff for my honey online. I had to order acme thread something or other for him. I can’t find the paper he wrote it on, but I know that I got it right when I ordered it, because I had the paper then. My desk is a mess from doing so much work from home. I think tomorrow, I will take the bull by the horns and clean it.
Lift kit
So I bought my honey a lift kit for his 4WD for Christmas. He was so surprised by it. I knew which one he wanted and ordered it online. Hiding it was difficult to say the least. I had to get it up into the attic after I wrapped it, so he wouldn’t try to shake it to see what it was. When I took it down from there to put it under the tree, I buried it under the kids presents that we already had. He never even knew it was there.
You should have seen the look on his face when he opened it. That look was priceless. He didn’t think we had the money for it yet, but I had been putting away money for Christmas all year and didn’t let him know how much I had. It was a little trick but so worth the effort. Now his Jeep will look amazing with the lift on it. We are going to have to put some steps on it just to get into it now. Fortunately, they are not too expensive and we can get them buy the end of January. He will install everything at the same time.
I am so happy that I did this for him. It is hands down one of the best presents that I have ever bought him. He does a lot for us though, so he really deserved it. He asked me if I wanted one on my new Jeep, but I said no. I have to do the grocery shopping for the house and it would be too much to try and get the groceries in and out of it. Not to mention the kids have to be able to get in and out of it every day. Just too much trouble for an everyday vehicle.
