It’s All Good!

I’m having a blast helping a gal that I work with, plan her very large and formal wedding. One day, I hope, I’ll be planning my dream wedding, so this is good practice. She is such a nice gal, I’ve enjoyed working with her for several years now and we have gotten pretty darn close and I’m proud that she is allowing me to get so involved with the whole wedding process. What a hand full this has turned out to be though, I had no idea all that it entails to pull something like this off.

Right now we are looking at wedding invitations. Thank God for the Internet, I can’t imagine taking on something like this with out all that the Internet has to offer. At 123print.com they have a really great selection of invitations that we have been eyeballing and showing around the work place to get ideas and suggestions from. It really has brought a breath of fresh air around the place and the excitement is becoming contagious between us all.

We still have a lot of work to do, but things are being checked off of the list here and there, so it’s all good!

Welch’s

Welch’s has done a good job with their Dried Cherries. I really love them and they are good for me. But wouldn’t you know that when I went to the store yesterday there where only a few package of them left on the shelf and they were marked down “Close Out”

It never fails that I find a product that I like and they have to discontinue them, arg…….

Change Can Be Good

Seems that my aunt has changed her mind on where she wants to settle, instead of Lexington S.C. she is now considering the Greenville area of S.C. instead. She has found a website that allows you to view 19 channels of high definition, full screen videos that bring into the focus of what the community of Greenville has to offer. It’s appears that it is a vibrant community that has a lot to offer some one just like my aunt.

A man, Edwin McCain, who grew up, moved away and then returned to Greenville appears on one of the videos that I watched. He has made it his mission to promote his hometown, which I think is pretty darn cool. He is an alternative rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist who performs all across the U.S. of A. but still performs in Greenville and just released his first major label recording. You can actually see him perform on the video.

I’m sure my aunt will find the perfect place for her to settle into and enjoy her “golden years.” Any place would welcome this lady into their community. She is a first class lady, with a great sense of humor for an old broad!

Flavored Tea

I grew up on tea. Hot tea after each meal and iced tea throughout the day and evening. It was always Lipton tea, no other brand would even think about entering the house back then. Now a days there are so many varieties and brands of tea to pick from, but I’ll be honest I still love my Lipton. I’m a creature of habit!

Thank God for The Internet!

I have to admit that I really don’t know all that much about life insurance. My folks have been urging me to check into starting my own policy. They have one on me for $2,000 that they started when I was born. The policy was actually a gift that was presented to my parents from an aunt. A nice present, but unfortunately $2,000 isn’t all that much anymore, most likely not even enough to bury me with.

So I’ve taken upon myself to educate myself on the whole subject, thank God for the Internet. I need to learn what the best options are for me on a decent term life insurance policy. It shouldn’t take too long and I’m a pretty quick learner.

Sunday at The Flea Market

I really love going to the flea market on Sunday, when the weather is perfect for being outside like it was yesterday. The place was crowed, the even had a three piece live band playing for tips there for a few hours. It was awesome listening to live music on a beautiful day, it just put a little bounce in my step for the days.

A good friend of mine lives in N.C. and sent me this photo. They are not happy with what President Obama is busy doing in Washington D.C.

Trick or Treaters, I’ll Be Ready for Them

This year I’m going to play it smart a buy Bulk Candy to use for the trick and treaters that will be knocking at my door this Halloween. It is only a month away so I have time to find the best bargain that I can find, using the Internet of course. I am going to find the type of candy that I like to hand out so that all the left overs won’t go to waste, like the clark bar. Of course I can always take a good amount to work to share with the ladies there to snack on, but it would be nice if I could enjoy them as well. I like candy, but not all types.

I’ve received a few Candy Baskets before as gifts, throughout the years, and have only eaten some of the candy and the rest just goes to waste, which isn’t cool. It’s a good thing that most candy has a pretty long shelve life and keeps for a pretty long time. Nothing worse than biting into something that is stale and nasty!

We usually get a good amount of trick or treaters in this neighborhood, but you never know how much to buy, so it is a guessing game. And if the weather is bad and the kids don’t come out you can be stuck with a ton of icky candy to try and eat and get rid of, sigh…..

Yogurt

I do enjoy eating as healthy as possible. One of my favorite snacks is yogurt, but it has to be Yoplait. I can eat the other brands but I don’t enjoy them as much as Yoplait. They have been coming out with some great new flavors, but my all time favorite still is banana/strawberry.

I’ll Try Anything Once, Twice if I Like It

The gals that I work worth and I have become such good friends over the years. We have so much fun at work, sharing stories, food, pictures, clothes, recipes, CDs, DVDs, germs, books, computers, etc…… We have quite a diverse group, one that is kept in one room all day, so we know each other fairly well at this point.
