I was getting tired of my old WordPress theme and decided to shop around for a new, more lively theme. I love this one. It fits me better than the old one. The old one sort of looked so lonely to me and I am anything but lonely. In fact, my life is full of wonderful friends and a wonderful community so here’s to my new theme!! What do you think? I personally love it!!
I admit it, I’m a Dancing with the Stars junkie!
I don’t take much time to watch TV but on Monday night and Tuesday night, I’m glued to the TV for Dancing with the Stars! I have been a fan since the first season. I always wanted to take dance lessons but my father wouldn’t let me for some reason so I guess I sort of live my dreams through watching them dance on TV.
I just hate that tonight is the season finale. I sure have had a hard time guessing who would make it this far. I really thought Lil Kim would have been in the final four but that’s not the way it happened at all. That just goes to show how much the viewers votes determine who stays and who goes. Did you see the freestyle dance Shawn and Mark did. They got straight 10’s and should have. It was by far the best freestyle of the night. I found it on youtube just in case you missed it.
Bet they’ll have a hard time getting a sitter now!
I couldn’t believe what I was reading. The headline read “Boy, 4 years old, shoots babysitter for stepping on foot.” I thought he might have shot him with a BB gun or something like that but no, not this little fella. He has one more bad temper apparently. Read this:
Police say a 4-year-old boy in southern Ohio shot his babysitter because the sitter accidentally stepped on his foot. Police said 18-year-old Nathan Beavers and several other teenagers were babysitting several young children in a mobile home in Jackson on Sunday when the shooting occurred.
Witnesses told police the 4-year-old retrieved the shotgun from a bedroom closet and shot Beavers. Police said the child was angry because Beavers accidentally stepped on his foot. Beavers was hospitalized with minor pellet wounds to his arm and side. Police say another teen was also injured with shotgun pellets.
Jackson County Sheriff John Shashteen said authorities are investigating the shooting. The child has not been charged.
Okay, they didn’t charge the child but what about charging the parents for having a weapon where the child could get to it and worse yet, it being loaded. Either that or the child is one smart cookie and knew where the shells were and how to load the shotgun. Someone will end up being charged before it’s all over I bet.
Car loans can be hard to come by lately
I have heard so many people talk about how hard it is to get car loans these days. The banks just aren’t letting go of much of the money they got in their bail out package yet. Until they do, it’s tough to buy a new or especially a used car. Heaven help you if you don’t have absolutely outstanding credit too. You’re chances of getting a loan on a car just went in the can then. My question is this. Just how many of us have absolutely perfect credit? Not many that’s for sure.
Since the economy has done what it’s done, the reason for having less than perfect credit might be of little or no fault of your own either but they don’t consider that at all. I have found a possible solution that helped a friend of mine with get refinancing with nowgetloan.com. It not only lowered his monthly payment but also helped him possibly save a bit of his credit rating.
I was amazed at how easy the whole process was for him. All he had to do was fill out the application securely right online and has his answer a lot faster than he would have from a bank. Their applications are not as rigid as a banks either. They are sure worth checking into if you need a loan or refinancing.
Who knew?
Here I was looking at some rather awful mug shots of celebrities and ran across one that I had absolutely no idea who it was. By the way, some of those pictures were absolutely awful too. I bet the celebrities didn’t ask for a copy to have framed and put up on their walls either.
Anyway, I’m sitting there trying really hard to figure out who the heck this young guy was and then I scrolled down just a little bit more and my mouth dropped. It’s Al Pacino! Check this out and see if you would have known him. The little article that told me who he was said:
Long before playing lawbreakers in “The Godfather” and “Scarface,” Al Pacino (yes, that’s him!) was charged with carrying a concealed weapon in 1961. No wonder he’s so good at playing tough guys.
If you ask me, he was pretty darn cute even back then. No wonder he play’s tough guys so well. Looks like he grew up a tough guy.
I need some extra storage
I really need some extra storage space and I found it at carguygarage.com. It’s a family owned company that has everything I’m looking for to create extra storage space in my garage. This is the best part of this site, if you know of a product they don’t have, you can call them and they’ll try and get it. That’s what you get when you go with a family owned company. That type of service is something a lot of companies have gotten away from and that also might be one of the reasons other companies fail too but that’s my opinion. So if you’re looking for storage help, I highly recommend you check out this site. I bet you’ll find just what you need.
Got to keep the kids entertained
Little Joe just loves to watch movies, especially Disney movies. I have now rediscovered some of my old favorites like Pinocchio and 101 Dalmatians. Well since he enjoys watching Disney movies so much, I decided to join the Disney Movie club. Not only will I have DVDs that Little Joe can watch, but I’ll also have a collection of DVDs that my guests can use to entertain their children when they visit. I didn’t even know there was a Disney Movie Club and I found it by luck at disneymovieclub.go.com. If you have little ones, it’s a great way to build up a good selection of Disney Movies.
You can get the old favorites like Old Yeller and Cinderella but you can also get Hannah Montana too. You know, that’s one talented little girl Billy Ray Cyrus has there. I like the positive songs she writes directed at young ladies too. She’s had a few slip up but all in all, she’s a pretty darn good role model for your girls. Much better than Brittney Spears turned out to be or Lyndsey Lohan. Sorry girls but you fell off of the ‘good role model’ wagon a long time ago.
Tax season is always a pain
Of course I have a CPA and they keep up on everything throughout the year but tax season is always a pain. Especially when it comes to paying what you owe if you owe. Yeah I owed as usual. Celeste had to do taxes for the first time in her life and she got back quite a bit since she has Little Joe and she didn’t earn much money either. Being a full time student helped her too. One things for sure, I hope everyone got their taxes in before the deadline because it’s a mess when you don’t. You have to file for extensions and all kinds of crap. Well I got it all done in time. I sure hope you did too.
I hope you had a wonderful Easter
We had a great Easter here. We had a huge Easter Egg hunt for the local children and it was my first Easter with Little Joe. He is such a joy. Since I have never had children of my own, he’s like a grandson to me and we had a blast dying Easter eggs and decorating for Easter. The excitement he had over the Easter Bunny coming was just the cutest thing. In the Easter Egg Hunt, whoever found the golden egg got a special gift, a $10 bill. Well as luck would have it, Little Joe found it all by himself.
I was checking online to find some different types of candy to have to put in the eggs and I found a site called thatsweet.co.uk. They had some of the most delicious looking candy for not only kids but for everyone. The only problem was I could not find out if they delivered their goodies to the US. I didn’t find it soon enough to have ordered any in time to get here by Easter anyway but I’m going to do some more checking into the site to see if I can get some sent here. It would be nice to have candy that the children here have never seen, you know. I found it odd that they had candy that’s not here but I guess we also have some candies and sweets they don’t have there.
I wish I had a bird like this
If I had a parrot like this in my critters, I’m sure that he would bring in a lot of people if even for just the day to see him. He would be a perfect addition to my little petting zoo. Speaking of my petting zoo, we’re having babies left and right. I guess it’s that time of year ya know. The petting zoo has been closed over the winter because who wants to pet a muddy animal in the cold? We will be opening it back up once the temperature starts going up but until then, people can see the animals from outside the fence. Besides, some of the new mothers don’t want you too close to their new babies. Anyway, check out this parrot!! He is amazing.
