My best friend has just moved here from Maine and is just getting settled in. Within a few weeks she has met one of my close guy friends and had started dating him not too long ago. She seems to be in a happy little world of her own, which makes me happy, because for a while there she thought she wasn’t going to find a good guy the treated her right and all, now shes happier then she ever imagined. I’m so happy for her, I hope she gets everything she ever dreamed of.
Rainy Days
It has been raining like crazy since last week, and its supposed to keep raining all weekend long. My kids have been driving me crazy with the whole “I’m bored” spiel ever since Thursday, because my kids are usually always outside playing sports or playing in the yard with toys and friends. My son especially, he absolutely loves playing basketball all day, everyday. The weekends are usually my time to relax since I work all week at two full time jobs and most of the time worn out and not being able to move at all after work, but I almost always try to make time for family events or just little things to do with the kids to keep them happy and cheerful. Hubby on the other hand, sometimes is required to work on the weekends but usually most of the time comes home and plays with the kids until they all can’t move, which I think is so awesome that he does that. But this weekend is a little hard on all of us, Hubby and I are both feeling a bit sick and can hardly get the energy to move to do anything, and the kids are so bored because its rainy heavily outside and they cant do any activities they normally do. SO I got up today and went to the movie store an rented quit a few movies for them that they have been wanting to see here for a while, and hopefully it keeps them busy long enough to where we can feel better and do family things again. I hope it stops pouring out there soon, I’ll smile big when it happens, I know my kids sure will be smiling big.
Inspiring nephew
I have a nephew who is in his second year of college at one of the top elite universities here on the east coast, so he is not too far away but is still not as close as we would like him to be. He is a great kid and is bond to make a name for himself and will definitely make a difference in this world in numerous ways in his life time. Can you tell that I am a proud aunt!
His mom really misses him and only gets to see him maybe 2 or 3 times a year, his Dad lives way up north and he is constantly trying to appease both parents when it comes to holiday visits and vacations. Of course my sister seems to be constantly getting the short end of the stick, but that is the same struggle that she was dealing with even before he left for college. It really sucks when a kid is bounced back and forth and is stuck trying to please both sets of parents.
When he does get a chance to visit, he spends most of his time sleeping, eating and doing homework, which leaves not enough time, as far as she is concerned, for them to just hang out and talk and to do things together, alas she cherishes every moment that she can get out of him when she can.
Movie and Dinner Time
Hubby and I haven’t done anything together in a long while, so we thought we would go eat dinner at Red Lobster and then go the theatre and watch a movie we haven’t seen yet this Friday evening. I can’t wait until I get to get out of the house, just the two of us. I finally get to spend some quality time with my hubby, for a change.
TravelHERO is so convenient
My family has been waiting all winter long to go to Disney World this coming summer, we needed to plan in advance what hotel we were going to stay at and how we were going to get there. Well after searching the Internet for a while I came across a website called Travelhero and had found that you can look up every hotel there and find cheap hotel reservations for any one of your choices. I had looked through a good amount of their options of hotels and had also found that they looked marvelous on the inside and out with great prices that I wasn’t at all expecting. We also reserved a car for us to rent for our transportation on TravelHERO, it was so quick and easy and I don’t have to worry about doing it later.
Out with the old, and in with the new
For years I have been dying to upgrade every piece of technology I have in the house, and try to make it more comfortable to us, and more appealing to the eye. Well I have taken a lot of electronics and sold them at the flea market to get a little bit back for all of it, and I am now ready to go shopping for my 56′ Big screen TV that I have always wanted. I am so excited to think about when I see my family’s faces when I arrive home with a huge TV.
BIG Boxing news!
It appears that Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer told ESPN.com Wednesday. that last spring box office records were shattered when Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Oscar De La Hoya met, says that they are close to finishing a deal for a rematch scheduled for either September 13th or the 20th of 2008, which will be viewed on HBO pay-per-view.
And guess what Hubby wants for his Father’s Day present this year, yes he wants some Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. tickets even though they haven’t even decided where this main event will take place. Hubby says that it doesn’t matter where it will be held, that he will get there come hell or high water and that you can purchase the tickets already at on the web-site of .
I can’t say that I blame him, he has been an avid boxing fan since he was a little boy when he and his Dad would stay up late on nights that any boxing match was been shown on television.
I guess I better check it out and see if I can scrape up a little bit of extra cash so that I can make Hubby’s wish come true, it isn’t often that he ever tells me of anything that he wants for a gift on any of the many occasions that I have to give him something!
Mommy is going to cook dinner tonight
Today my sister had sent me a few receipts over the Internet that her and her family seemed to enjoy, and I find them to be very different then what we usually eat in my household. My son and I are going to go shopping for the ingredients we need to make something new and tasty that the entire family will love to eat for dinner, plus I think I need to do more cooking, I’ve been slacking in that area lately. By the way I do love my husband’s attempt in “Southern cooking”, but I do think it’s time for mommy to step in and take charge of the kitchen once again, and have a part in sitting down with the family and smiling and enjoying our delicious new food experiences.
Full bellies before it’s time to go to bed of course, I always say, or you wont have a good night’s sleep. My son had told me that he wants to help mommy cook dinner tonight, which by the way I think is an absolute great and fantastic idea. I can’t wait to try out our new food creations, and hopefully we won’t burn the kitchen down in the process!
Dreams of buying a new car
Yesterday while I was out and about I drove by a new car sales lot here in town and had saw a beautiful 2006 Scion that I have always wanted to see up close, in person, I’ve already looked at one that was on-line. So I’m thinking of some time in the near future taking a trip downtown to the lot and see if I can get a good look at it and possibly take it for a test drive. I’m sure I could never afford it but one can dream can’t they, and of course there is always the lottery!
The Pope has arrived safely
The biggest news story of the week seems to be the arrival of the Pope in Washington D.C. it seems every channel is running some kind of special about his first visit to the U.S. as the Pope.
They are showing him getting out of the plane after an 8 hour long flight, he seemed very fit and not as tired out as one would think a 80 year old man would be after spending that much time traveling, although I’m sure he traveled first class all the way which makes the trip at bit easier on a person.
They say that tomorrow is his 81st birthday and he will be spending the entire day at the White House with the Bush’s in private quarters, I can think of a lot worse places that one could spend their birthday at, that is for sure.
One thing amused me that they were saying about him is that he is the first Pope to have in his own Ipod and that he has a lot of music on it like Beethoven, Bach and all of the other classic classical artists also.
He has a full schedule ahead of him and I’m sure we will all be hearing all the details soon enough.
