My Sons Birthday is Coming Up!

My sons birthday is coming up soon and I’m trying to make it to where I can afford his birthday gifts and throw somewhat of a decent party for him this year. He seems to really enjoy his new PlayStation 3 we had gotten him this past Christmas and has had his eye on a few new games that have recently came out. So today I am going to try to shop for the coolest games I can come across that I think he will really enjoy playing over and over, instead of getting tired of them after one time of playing them and never touching them ever again.

I also would like to find a cake with his favorite cartoon character, Sponge Bob on it, and make arrangement’s for it to be ready the day before his party. I have already found invitations he loves with Power Rangers all over them, and have already sent them out to the parents of his friends. I’m hoping to get all RSVP’s in the next week so I can make plans on all activities for the children on the day of his party. I am really hoping that the day of his party, it will be a nice sunny day out so we have more options on the activities we are selecting.

Paintball Anyone

The only thing that I really remember about my one time experience with paint balling, back in the 80’s, was that it did sting a bit when you got “hit” with a blast.  I was younger then, but it was great fun and I know that I walked a bit funny after the fun was over on the next day!

I’m surprised at how much there is to offer now a days in the paintball industry, but a lot of things have changed in past 30 years, I suppose.  There a store right down the street from use that sells paintball accessories and military/police items as well.  I have never been in there before, but Hubby and his friend walked down there one year way back and looked around a bit, I remember them telling me about all of the merchandise that was for sale in there. The parking lot is always full, so they must be doing something right.

If you are into paintballing you might want to check out pntball.com and see all of the things that they have now for paintballing fun.  Hubby was looking over my shoulder the day that I ran across their web-site while I was surfing the net, and the next thing I know, he is sitting in the chair and had taken over the PC so that he could look at the products better.  You can order piece by piece or they have whole kits geared to get you started at. Their stock has a full line of cheap paintball guns, paintball markers, paintball gear, barrels, hoppers, harnesses, tubes, and paintball masks, by many different brands.

Hubby seemed particularly interested in the one Tippmann 98 custom Paintball ACT Marker Sniper gun package. It regularly sells for $429 and is marked down to $299, so Hubby was drooling at the mouth.  I’ll have to keep that one in mind, maybe for Father’s Day, wouldn’t that be cool.

What happens in Las Vegas…well you know the rest

We still receive phone calls now and then from people that we knew from way back.  I love hearing from them, you never know what to expect from these phone calls.

Laurie and I go back 25 years or so, she was a bartender at the bar Hubby and I used to go to back in day.  She is now living and working as a card dealer in Las Vegas, while still going to college, and still has her son living with her.  She seems to have done pretty well and is in the process of looking into buying a condo and wanted us to look at the one Web site hone-lasvegas.com  and check it out.

These Las Vegas condos include five towers, each one is 18 to 20 stories high, with loads of spacious grounds which is guard gated, it looks like they offer all of the goodies that one would expect at such a beautifully landscaped residential community, such as spas, pool, boutiques, exercise and fitness rooms, I mean the whole kit and caboodle.

If she decides to purchase one I can’t wait to visit her and check it out my self. I have only been to Vegas once in my life and we were broke, not the best place to be when you are broke!

Reading Should Help Me Relax

For the most part I have enjoyed reading, but since getting married and starting a family there doesn’t leave much time to sit down and read a good book other than the monthly Reader’s Digest that mainly stays in our bathroom.  A short story here and there, a laugh or two, and keeping up with the newest controversies from all over is about all the recreational reading that I get now a days.

I keep hearing from other busy Moms about the Book Clubs that they belong to and how much they enjoy reading books, it is one way that they can relax and help ease the stresses of their busy scheduled days.

Since the kids are getting a bit older and can entertain themselves a bit more easily (I guess so with TVs, DVDs, CD’s, PC’s, Playstations, Nintendo’s, X-Boxes, cell phones, etc.) I have decided that I will start taking some time and start reading some of the many books that we have sitting on our dusty bookshelves.  Of course this reading will take place after my blogging has been finished because I truley enjoy this as well.

So, off to the bookcases I go, I hope the dust bunnies won’t get too upset with me for invading their “Personal Space”.

A little something for the blog

So happy to be blogging again, as you’ll soon find out I love to chit chat and talk about just anything.  I even made a category called “anything,” because there is so much of that in this world of mine.

Made a fabulous dinner tonight that would have made any 5 star chef jealous. Served lobster and T-Bones along with salad and the usual side dishes.

After dinner, hubby and I got together and played the new game system together for a couple of hours. Then I did some cleaning around the house and put the prince to bed. About an hour later, we were all counting sheep.
