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!
Cars in ditches everywhere
It looks like I’m not the only one that didn’t want snow this time of year. I have seen more cars in ditches in the past couple of days than I have seen any other time it has snowed around here this winter. In fact, it wouldn’t be a far stretch to say I have probably seen more in ditches in the past two days than I have all winter combined.
I guess body shops and tow companies are happy but I know for a fact that the owners of the cars aren’t. I wonder if the insurance companies are happy or not? Who knows with them. They’re probably happy because now they have a good reason to raise peoples rates.
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?
IT’S RAINING!!
I just got back from lunch and when I stepped out of the door to go to lunch, it was raining!! Boy do we need this rain too. It’s been really dry again lately and they have a burning ban all over the state. It looks like we could get out of this darn drought sometime, ya know.
I think it’s supposed to rain pretty much through Sunday and then the stupid ‘S’ word was spoken too. SNOW!! Like I told you earlier, I’m sick of winter and so very ready for spring to come and stay. Winter keeps playing peek-a-boo with us just like spring lately.
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.
Got left over rice?
When I cook rice and yes I cook real rice and not instant or in that pouch either, but if you have leftover rice, try this with it. I make fried rice with my leftover rice. It’s really simple and good too. It makes a great lunch or even a quick dinner if you want.
Here’s what I do. I heat my pan with cooking spray in it. Chop up some onions (if you like onions, put more, if not don’t put much in it). For me, I love onions so for about a cup of rice, I add about a forth of a cup of chopped onions and put them in the pan to cook slightly. Then I put in my rice and stir it around to mix the onions into the rice. I let that cook while stirring it almost constantly in the hot pan for about 5 minutes.
Have 2 eggs beaten up in a cup ready to put into them but first you add soy sauce (that depends on your taste too but at least a tablespoon or more) to the rice mixture in the pan and sprinkle with some garlic powder. Mix all of the ingredients well and make an area in the middle of the rice for the egg. Pour the beaten eggs in the ‘hole’ and mix everything well while the egg cooks. Once the egg is cooked, you have fried rice. You can also add any meat you happen to have left over before you add the egg too. Add a salad or steamed broccoli and you have a good meal that’s cheap too. Try it sometime.
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.
I got new bedroom furniture
Well I finally decided on what new bedroom suite I wanted and it’s being delivered tomorrow. I was surprised that they would agree to deliver on a Saturday but they did. It sure helped me out because I don’t have to take any time off of work to be here for them to deliver it. Isn’t that wonderful!!!
Well I have decided to donate my old bedroom suite to the Crisis Ministries close to where I live. That way, it can help a family in need of furniture. I just can’t see giving it away to someone that doesn’t really need it. I was taught as a child that you help those in need so that’s what I hope my old furniture will do, help someone in honest need. It feels good to think that I might be able to help someone in need and there are a lot of people out there in this day in time that are in need.
