Spring is almost here

With spring around the corner, I’m hot and heavy into ‘spring cleaning mode’ if you know what I mean.  I am so sick of the clutter that seems to accumulate every winter.  Why is that?  Is it in our nature to gather stuff for the long winter like animals do?  Maybe but I hate clutter and my house is over cluttered now and I’m doing something about it.

I’m not quite sure how but all of a sudden I have shoes everywhere.  I have been looking for shoe racks to help me keep my shoes organized so I can find both of the same shoe at the same time instead of having to dig like I have lately.    I found some great ones online.  Another thing that has really helped me with all of the clutter is bed risers.  My mother has used  these for years.  Under the bed is a great place to store your winter clothes that you won’t be wearing anymore until next year that is.

But you will never guess what I have found to be one of the best for hiding clutter.  Room dividers.  Imagine that.  You can take a room divider and put it in a corner to hide what ever you don’t want seen and it looks like you have dressed your room up instead of just hid something.

Mrs. Madoff

Okay, Bernard has been charged and sent to prison which was not quite enough punishment if you ask me.  But now Mrs. Madoff is trying to say that the millions she has are hers and did not come from her husband cheating all of those people.  Okay then just where did she work or from whom did she inherit this money from???

They need to take everything both of them had, sell every bit of it and compensate all of the people that Bernard cheated out of their hard earned money.  He didn’t earn a dime of it and from what I can see, his wife didn’t either but maybe I’m not seeing the whole picture here.  I doubt it because she may be just his wife and somewhat innocent in the whole ordeal but I’m sorry, she needs to be put out of the penthouse and into a small house she could afford to keep up herself on ‘her income’ she makes honestly like the people that had to return to work when they found out they had squat thanks to Bernard Madoff but that’s my opinion!!!!

Time for an adventure!

I have some vacation time saved up and really need a break.  I have saved all year for an adventure and have finally decided where I’m going to take that adventure.   I have decided to go to Universal Studios Orlando because it has been years since I was last there and I want to go to Mardi Gras there.   I have always wanted to go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras but this will be just as good if not even better.  I can’t wait either.  They have some really great prices this time of year too so that will save me a bundle there.

The thing I’m looking the most forward to is all of the costumes.  You get to be anyone you want during Mardi Gras.  The beautiful costumes, the masks, and the wonderful food.  I think I just gained 10 pounds thinking about it too.  But hopefully I’ll walk most of it off going around to see everything.  We can only hope anyway.   From what I have seen of the wonderful handmade masks, I can’t wait to pick out one for myself.  I have always thought I was born in the wrong time.  I should have been born back when Gone with the Wind was made.  I love those beautiful long dresses and can’t wait to wear one for Mardi Gras.

I wonder how I’m going to be able to ride the roller coaster with one of those on though?   I guess I could dress up in clothes like that for the Mardi Gras.  I need to find out more about it I guess.  But one things for sure, I love roller coasters and the bigger and faster, the better.  They have a huge one that turns you upside down and absolutely flies.  I can’t wait.  Now all I have to do is pack and make my reservations and I’m off!!!  I’ll let you know how much fun I had.

Ever had one of ‘those’ days?

This morning, everything seemed just fine and then all of a sudden, it turned into one of ‘those’ days.  You know what ‘those’ days are, don’t you?  They’re the kind of day that just out of no where seems a bit sad, or like somethings missing maybe.  I don’t know how to explain it.

I guess one way is that all of a sudden I feel alone in an office full of people.  How crazy is that?  I can’t put my finger on any one thing that might have brought it on either.  If I could, then maybe I could make it go away.  Hopefully it’ll go away on it’s on!!!!

I found a cool web site

If you like handmade jewelry or other items or even make handmade jewelry, you have to check out steampunk. You won’t be sorry you did.

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.

My favorite show starts back tonight

I am a ‘Dancing with the stars’ freak.  I absolutely love that show.  I didn’t watch the first season and I’m not sure why but I did watch the second season and have been hooked ever since.  There have been some pleasant surprises on the show like Cloris Leachman.  She was absolutely wonderful!!  I have to admit that I am not a fan of Jerry Springer but when he did the waltz that he wanted to do with his daughter on her wedding day, it was very touching!!  Layla Ali was great and when her father came to one of the shows, I cried.  I have always been a huge fan of Muhammad Ali.

There have already been some stars that have had to drop out because of injuries.  I have seen several injuries throughout the show but this is the first year that some have had to drop out before the show ever started.  I’m just so excited, I can’t wait.

I hate my kitchen because it’s so unorganized

I’m one of those people that likes everything to have a place and everything to be in it’s place.  Do you know what I mean.  Well my cabinet space is limited and that makes it hard to organize my kitchen.  Well that was until I found the perfect kitchen organizers.  Just about anything you ever dreamed of to organize your kitchen is right here.

I swear I thought I was in heaven because now I can find items that will give me more space in the limited space I have and even better, I’ll be able to find what I want because everything will have it’s own space.  The kitchen cabinet organizers are just what I have needed.  The spice organizer was a great surprise too because there are so many different types.

They even have canned food and soda organizers.  I can get a lot more canned food and sodas in a small space now.  And you know your ‘gadget drawer’ that you can never find anything in, well they even have solutions for that too.  I got to get back to this site and start shopping.

Good luck to Robin Williams

Robin Williams i one of the most talented people there are in the entertainment field today.  He’s not only a wonderful actor but he is extremely funny too.  I heard that he’s going into the hospital for an “overhaul” as he put it.  He’s 57 years old and I guess it’s time for a bit of an overhaul.  I sure do wish him all the best and a speedy recovery.  Here’s to you Robin!!!  God Bless you!!!!
