Looking for unsecured business funding can be tricky. It always helps to ask a lot of questions. If you organize your thoughts at home and put all of your questions down on paper, it makes it much easier. I find that taking notes when I am doing the research is the best way to go about it. Then you only need to look back at the notes to formulate your thoughts into the questions you need answered. I always used this as a good study habit when I was in school and fall back on it from time to time. Makes things a lot easier to organize.

New tires
Well boo, I have to go buy new tires for the Jeep. I really didn’t want to do that until after Christmas, but one of them went flat and my honey said to just go do it. Tires for a 4WD are not cheap by any means, but I have no choice so I will. I am going to have to take the kids with me and that can be a pain. Have you ever taken the kids to any kind of repair shop? If you have then you know exactly what I am about to go through. At least the shop we go to has a nice sitting room with a TV and refreshments as well. I will make them bring a book or something as well.
I have to write down what he told me about the tires to buy. I should have had him text it to me, but alas I didn’t think of it and he is at work. He wants me to get a slightly different tire then what is one there. The tires on it now are street tires only and he wants something a little sturdier than that. As you know we go out four wheeling and camping in remote places, so he doesn’t want to have to worry about the tires not being able to handle the terrain. That is definitely important when we are out in the woods. I will probably have to call him or take pictures of the tires from the shop and send to him so he can see what I am buying. I want to make sure that it is the right thing after all. I do not want to have to go back. I am not ever sure that you can once you leave. Better to get it right the first time.
OMG
I have never seen a more beautiful horse in my life. He is unbelievable, just like a work of art. It reminds me of that book I read and watched the movie when I was a kid. It was called Black Beauty. The real horse was named Cass Ole. I got to see him at a horse show when I was a teenager. I even had my picture taken with him. The horse show was the World Famous Lipizzaner stallions. They do amazing tricks and are amazing to watch. I really miss being a kid at times like these.
I couldn’t help looking
In my search online for houses, I found beverly hills real estate site. A girl can dream, even though I will never have enough money to live in such a place. The homes were just gorgeous and expensive! Oh to live in a house like one of those. I could never keep it clean by myself that is for sure. I do wonder what it is like to live that kind of life, a life of privilege and lots of money. I definitely would not be able to sit around all day. I can’t keep still most of the time as it is. I am sure the staff that is required to keep it up would get annoyed with me interfering.
I saw a few that were so large that you could fit several families in there to live and hardly ever see each other. If I ever hit the power ball, I would buy one just to have for vacation. We would spend all of our extra time there, enjoying the Southern California weather. I doubt it gets as cold there as it does here, that’s for sure. I do know that it gets a lot hotter in the summer time. After all, death valley isn’t that far away. Oh well, enough time dreaming. I have work to do.
House hunting
Well we have really out grown this house and want to have a larger piece of property. I went and looked at a cute little farm this morning. The house wasn’t very large but the property was amazing. It had a barn, a chicken coop and a couple of other out buildings as well. I am encouraged even though it needs work. Needing work just means we can get it for a better price, and that is a very good thing. If we get it for a good enough price, we can just put an add on to the house and enlarge it, or close in the back porch. We have a lot of considering to do though.
His Jeep
My mans Jeep CJ7 is the bomb. Now that we both have Jeeps, we will have more room for camping equipment on our trips. Plus, we can now get another trailer for the four wheelers and take all of those with us as well. Most of the time we have had to have a friend carry two of them for us if they were going and had room. To be honest, we have only been able to take all of them one time. This will definitely be a bonus.
He said something about putting a rack on the top too. That way when we take our long trips to the mountains, we can take the kayaks as well. He wants to take everything with us. It makes me laugh and just shake my head. Oh well, we have the room now. I have a feeling our big trip next year will be a doozy and last much longer than usual.
There are still a few things he wants to do to his cj7 before spring hits, but I am confidant that it will all get done. Winter seems to be the season we up grade or buy our toys for summer fun. I have been thinking about getting him a snow mobile, but we don’t get enough snow here to actually use it very often. Last year we only got about two inches of snow. I know that he has always wanted one, perhaps we can get one and trailer it behind the cj7 up to a friends when they get snow. It is only about three hours away from us and they get a lot of snow. I know that it doesn’t make much sense for us to get so little snow and them a whole bunch. We aren’t that far away from each other after all.
Letters to Santa
Well the annual letters to Santa have been sent via the Northpole.com website. The kids love this site, because the letters are actually answered. There are also games and activities for them to do on the site as well. We have a lot of fun every year sending our letters to Santa.
So happy
My honey just bought me a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Now we have to Jeeps and I am so happy. It is an early Christmas present from him and the kids. I don’t know how they were able to keep it a secret, because they went with him the other day to buy it. It was delivered today, just a little while ago with a great big bow on the top. The kids had just got home from school and he had just come home from work when it arrived. I was in shock. I never thought in a million years that he would get me such an expensive present.
It is a used Jeep, but it is new to me and I absolutely love it. Now we sort of have matching vehicles. His is a different model though. I can’t wait to go show it off to my friends and my mom. She is going to flip. He must have been saving for this for a long while and I had absolutely no clue. He has worked a lot of over time this past year though, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise to me.
I cannot wait until tomorrow. I have a lot of errands to run and I will be able to drive my new Jeep. I have to go to the DMV and make it legal first thing in the morning, then I will be all set to go. I hope that they are not very busy. I have to be home by lunch time. The kids have a half a day tomorrow and will be home much earlier then normal. After that, it will be a mad house for two weeks. By the end of the Winter break, I will probably be stark raving mad. Hehehe.
This is pretty
I think I will make this my desktop picture for a while. It is amazingly beautiful. I have seen a few roses in real life that look like this. The florist was able to use food coloring in the water to get them to turn such pretty colors. I might have to try it on my roses and see how it goes for me.
