My Mother’s Buying List

I have always wanted a nice set of Hartmann Luggage or the ever popular Vera Bradley Luggage that looks so good on the luggage carousel at the airports at the end of the trip. Or at least if you are lucky enough to have your luggage arrive along with your arrival. I’ve never had my luggage lost before but I’ve heard some horror stories from folks that have had to deal with all the hassles and inconvenience of an airline losing your precious belongings that were being stored in your Luggage.

As I stated before I’ve always wanted to own a nice set of luggage and my mother is trying to make that happen for me for my birthday that is fast approaching this winter. My mother is expecting a nice sized tax refund from Uncle Sam next year and wants to purchase a few things that she has had her heart on for the past year. I’m just lucky enough to be on her buying list this year!

Of course I’m sure that if she finds herself in need of some nice luggage she can always count on being able to borrow mine any time she needs it. That is a plus!

Anyone remember this commercial. It took less than 3 minutes to find it on YouTube! It still makes me laugh even after all these years of not seeing it at all.

Fashion Show – Victoria’s Secret Style

More women than you would think watch the annual Victoria Secret Fashion Show that has become so very popular now a days. I have always enjoyed watching it when I can and I did manage to watch it just the other night and I have to tell you that each year some how, they seem to top the previous year’s, and this year was no different, it was truly brilliantly done.

Our local mall here has one of their retail stores, but their prices are just so darn high most of the time, although each year they do have a really good sale, I hope that I have a few bucks in my pocket come next month and I have to pay attention and see when the sale hits.

LOL At A Short Love Story

Strangers In The Night

SHORT LOVE STORY

There is a man and a woman who had never met before, but who were both married to other people, they found themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a trans-continental train.

Though they wereboth initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they were both very tired and fell asleep quickly, he in the upper berth and she in the lower.

Around  1:00 AM , the man leaned down and gently woke up the woman saying,………. ‘Ma’am, I’m sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I’m awfully cold.’

‘I have a better idea,’ she replied ‘Just for tonight,…… let’s pretend that we’re married.’

‘Wow!………………….. That’s a great idea!’, he exclaimed.

‘Good,’ she replied. ………….’Get your own f….g blanket.’

Then after a moment of silence, he farted.

The End

Friends from Junior High School Days

I have a girlfriend that I have known since Junior High School, and she and her husband moved to Denver Colorado a few years back and I have been meaning to visit them and we think that it is time to plan such a visit. They both work at the same company which is a Heating and Air Conditioning company by the name of Lucky Duct that also does duct work also, by the way, which is something that he has done all of his life, after leaving the army back in the 70’s. While she is the office manager and does a variety of things that keep them both busy, especially since he is a technician that is on call 24/7.

I  keep in constant contact with my old  friend through weekly emails and we talk on the phone at least once a month, they are good people and I’m glad that I have such a wonderful long time friend. In her last email she sent the link to Lucky Duct where you can see all of the services that this female owned business offers, which is so much more than air conditioning & air duct cleaning as you will see.

Sandwiches

I was in the mood for a sandwich earlier but I couldn’t find anything that tickled my fancy. Then it dawned on me that as a kid I used to really love peanut butter and honey sandwiches and I had both foods in my cabinet. It was a darn good sandwich, one that made my tummy happy and brought back some good memories. Not to mention that all of the ingredients are healthy! That’s a nice bonus!

Our Flag

It does my heart good to see so many people sporting the Confederate Flag on their vehicles as well as on their homes and property. I can’t for the life of me understand what all the hoopla is about the Confederate flag. I have a large  Confederate flag myself but since I rent an apartment I can’t install it, which makes me very sad.

There are tons of places that are selling all types of flags to be used on a vehicle but I am afraid that if I ordered one and put it on my car that someone would get angry and try and hurt me and/or my car. I can just see it now, I come strolling out of Walmart to find my tires slashed or any of all the other ways someone can damage a car while no one is looking.

We Have Each Others Back

There are so many ways that I see my sister healing with the help of a very interesting and creative Jungian Psychoanalysis that she has been working with for a few months now. Even though she lives so far away from where I live we are still very close and manage to communicate several times a week, so I know her pretty well.

We have lived together several times throughout our adult lives. It is great to know that my sister always has my back and she darn well knows that I’ve got hers as well. We do talk about how lucky and blessed we are to have such a great relationship despite all the other wacky family members that we have in the ever-growing family that we were born into. There are so many brothers and sisters that don’t remain close as the years tumble by.

I wasn’t all that knowledgeable about this particular New York Jungian Psychotherapy method, but I took the time to research New York Jungian Therapists as much as I could online and she seems to be flourishing, so I am thrilled. It really bites that I can’t see her as much as I would like to. A seven hour drive might as well be all the way across the country. But if need be it could and would be done, that much I know.

Amazing Waters

Having family in England has its good points for sure.  I love to visit them and one of the best things about that is they know all of the coolest places to visit.  Places that I would never be able to find on my own for sure.  They know how much I love anything to do with water and aquariums so my cousin took me to work with him to show me the new custom built aquarium his bosses had installed when they did the major upgrade of the main lobby.  It was absolutely gorgeous.

I stood there for hours just taking in all that was in that amazing aquarium.  I have to admit it was almost like being in the ocean in a submarine or scuba diving.  Taking in each and every inch of that amazing sea habitat took me what seemed hours.  The detail was in it was beyond anything I had ever seen before.  I did notice that there was small plaque that told who had made it for them and when I got home I looked up their web site out of curiosity.  Yes I was thinking along the lines of possibly using them myself some day.  I don’t know how or for what but there’s nothing I admire more than exceptional workmanship and I was looking at it for sure in that aquarium.

Once I got home, I decided to take a trip to a local zoo and they had this amazing seal habitat.  I had heard that they were looking for seal pools display solutions since their old one was exactly that, old.  I would not be surprised at all if they didn’t contact the same company for their new habitat.  You can’t deny the great workmanship and the new one is amazing too.

Hair Issues

I’ve decided that I am sick and tired of dealing with my hair every day. I have always had long hair and I have come to where I really would like to spend my time doing other things rather than dealing with my hair so much of the time. I’m going to start looking at pictures of different hair styles and see what I can find and then take that picture that I’ve decided on to the hair stylist and see what they think.

I’ll keep you posted and perhaps I’ll have a photo or two that I’ll put here as well. We will see.
