Another friend moving away

A good friend of mine lost her job here and found another one in Massachusetts so I now have another friend moving away.  She does have some family up there but needed an apartment.  Luckily she found out about Central Mass apartments from one of her family members.  This web site is helps people to find not only apartments but also to find homes to rent.  One thing I found most useful on this site, as did she, is the fact that you can search for an apartment by area, or by size, or by price and even by price range too.  That way you don’t have to go through a lot of places that you wouldn’t be interested in.

She only needs a one bedroom apartment since she’s single and is open to a couple of different areas.  Luckily she knows something about the areas she wants since she has been there before.  They tell you about the area too just in case you don’t know anything about it.  I found the site quite easy to use which also is a huge help since some web sites like these aren’t nearly as easy to maneuver around.  If you’re planning a move to central Massachusetts, I suggest you check these guys out.  I bet you’ll find an apartment easily there.

I love IM

My best friend lives in another state and we IM constantly to keep up on what’s new and what’s going on.  I think I would be lost without my best friend, my cell phone and the IM we chat on all the time.  Sometimes we will IM and ask if the other has time to talk on the phone.  Isn’t that too funny!  I think it is but we are both super busy ladies and that’s the best way to see if we both have time for a good old chat on the phone, ya know.

Cousin invited me to visit

I have a cousin that lives in Los Angeles California. She’s been trying to get me to move out there for quite some time. She asked me to check out Los Angeles Jobs but I’m just not ready to move away yet.

Sure California has it’s good points and it’s bad points but what place doesn’t.  My mother doesn’t even like for me to visit because of the pollution and it’s also known for having the worst road rage in the country but it’s also a beautiful place.  You just have to know what parts to stay out of, just like any other town.

Sweetest thing I have ever seen

I came across this on YouTube and just had to share it with all of you.  Apparently these two kids have been best friends since they were babies and it’s a boy and a girl.  He must have felt she is a very special young lady because he made a video and put it on YouTube for her and everyone else to see.

You have to see this video because it takes you from the time they were little until today.  He did a great job of letting his best friend know just how much he loves her.  Here it is.  Please rate it if you can and leave a comment about the video for this creative, special young man!!! I absolutely loved it.

I think I’ll order Mom some good vitamins too

In case you can’t tell, I do love my mother and want nothing more than to keep her around for many more years.  One good way to sort of assure that is with good quality natural vitamins.  I take beta glucan and it does make me feel better since I started taking them. I bet they would help Mom to feel better and have more energy too.  This is sort of one of those times when you might be wondering who’s the mother and who’s the daughter, huh?  Well even daughters try to take care of their mothers too, you know!!  That’s all I’m trying to do is keep her around and healthy as long as possible!

Mom needs some new clothes

Since my father passed away, Mom really needs some new clothes for her new life.  She’s been stuck now for quite some time missing Daddy and we are just now getting her out of that mind set.  She’s started buying some new furniture but she also needs something for her.  She needs some new plus size women clothing that will lift her spirits along with making her look good too.  Who knows, if she feels better in the new clothes, she just might get out more.

One thing I love about this site is the fact that they have plus size clothes that are not only casual but they also have sexy clothes.  No my mother won’t be looking for any of those but she just might once she gets out more.  She’s still young and it would be nice for her to find someone, ya know.  The site is really easy to browse through and I love the casual clothing.

They even have a ‘sale rack’ and I can see some of them on that section that would look great on my mother.   I can’t wait to go show Mom this site.  In fact, I think I’ll order her a couple of things from here for her so she can see how cute the clothes are.  She’s going to look great in the Adorable Ribbon Pink Top.  In fact, I’m going to recommend this site to a couple of other plus size friends I have.

Oh no!!! Snow!!!!

I love winter snow but what’s supposed to be the start of spring, doesn’t include snow for me.  I’m sick of cold weather.  My daffodils were getting ready to bloom and now I don’t know if they will or not because they’re covered by snow.  Bummer huh?  I think so.

I need to move somewhere where it’s warm all year long.  I can’t really do that because all of my friends and family are here but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming about it, ya know?  Maybe some day I will.  Probably not unless I meet Mr. Wonderful and he gets a job somewhere warm, then I’ll go but the chances of that…..well who knows?

Summer camp anyone?

When I was younger I used to love to go to summer camp.  I went to girl scout camp and any other camp I could find.  I had a blast too.  There’s one camp I would have loved to go to that they didn’t have back then.  It’s one of the best summer camps I have ever heard of.  They way I found out was that a friend of mine sent her daughter there last summer and she’s begging to go back this year.  It’s a summer ski camp.  How awesome is that?  Sort of makes you wish you were a kid again, ya know.  I wonder if I could fool them and go anyway?  I bet not.

Getting a new mattress

Now that I am getting a new bedroom suite, I have decided that maybe I need a new mattress too.  I didn’t realize that mattresses were so expensive or that there were so many to choose from.  I decided to check out online to see if I could find what I really want cheaper and I did.  I found a web site that has the down pillow top mattresses like I want at a really great price.  I hate a hard bed but my mother loves them.  I like to feel like I’m laying on a cloud and that’s what the pillow top mattresses I have laid on feel to me.

The really neat thing about this site is that I can also find a down pillow like I like.  I really don’t care for a hard or too soft of a pillow.  Nothings worse than laying on a pillow and it keeps your head up too much and gives you a crick in the neck or goes so flat that you may as well not even have a pillow.  I like the down pillows because they’re soft and yet not too soft.  I guess I’m a bit picky, huh?  Oh well, I like what I like and that’s the way it is.

I didn’t realize allergies could be deadly

I’ve been around people with allergies and thought that basically, they consisted of sneezing, coughing, runny nose and itchy eyes.  Well I found out the hard way that they are a lot worse than that to some people.  One of the ladies that works in our office has ‘severe allergies’.  Now that everything is trying to come out, her eye will swell completely shut and she has even had to use an epi-pin on herself too.

If you don’t know what an epi-pin is, it’s a thing that you have to hit yourself in the leg with and a needle comes out and injects you with medication.  This is used when someone is having an anaphylactic reaction or in other words, their throat is closing up and they can’t breathe.  Once this is done, the person has to go to a hospital or their doctor at least.  Scared the bee-jeebies out of everyone in the office.  I honestly had no idea that allergies could be like that.
