Horrible Head Ache Won’t Go Away

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! My head hurts and I’ve tried everything to make this stupid head ache go away. I’ve had a horrible head ache for the past two days and all I feel is yuck. My head is pounding and aching. It’s starting to make my back hurt and my eyes hurt.

I’ve done all of the normal things that you can do to do to get rid of a head ache but nothing has seemed to work. I wonder if it’s brought on by stress. Seems as if more and more people are demanding my energy and time, and as many times as I say “NO” some people just refuse to take “NO” for an answer!

Maybe all I need is some time for peace and relaxation.  Maybe a nice hot bubble bath with some beautiful scented aromatherapy candles lit in the bathroom.  I think lavender would be great for just the occasion  Lavender is supposed to be calming and soothing.  Well, I need it to calm and soothe my head ache away.  It might be nice to have some relaxing music in there too with me.  I’m not sure if I want jazz or just some nice classical.

I’m off to try to rid myself of this disgusting headache.  If you have any cures that work for you let me know.

Day Trip To Go Hiking As A Family

My husband told me he would like to plan a day trip where we can all go hiking as a family, I think that sounds like a great idea. He has some really nice lowa renegade hiking boots that he got for Christmas that he has been dying to break in. I can’t blame him, if I got something like that as a gift I would want to use it right away.

We like to get outdoors when the weather is not too cool and not too hot which is exactly what the weather has been lately. Well, it has been kind of crazy some days but that’s besides the point. Maybe we can go next weekend or weather permitting maybe even tomorrow. We don’t’ have anything else planned really and it could be a lot of fun.

Things To Consider Before Accepting A Facebook Friend Request

I posted about Facebook earlier on in the week. I personally use it to stay in touch with friends and family. But a few of my readers e-mailed me with their thoughts and I thought I would share.

One reader asked me how I feel about friending in-laws. Do I do it and where does the line stop?

Yes, I have accepted my in-laws as my friends on my Facebook page.  I currently have my mother and father-in-law and then my sister-in law. I also have a few of my husbands aunts. It might seems like a bit much to invite your extended family that you personally do not know to be your friend on Facebook.

Another reader asked about accepting the friend requests of people I barely knew in high school.

If I really didn’t know them then I probably am not going to accept their friend request now. I’m happy to let them send me messages and then maybe if I feel the need to accept the request I might do so later but I think it’s pretty stupid just to want to add me just because we went to the same school.

Finally, another reader asked about friending people from work.

Well, that’s a tricky subject. I suppose it depends on what you post on your wall. If you posts things you wouldn’t want your co-workers to see then don’t friend them. My wall does not have anything I would be ashamed of showing my grandmother on it so I’m pretty safe in that department.

What are you thoughts on what you consider before adding someone as a friend?

I Can’t Sleep, So I’ll Write

I couldn’t sleep, so I got up to watch some television. I flipped through all of the channels and couldn’t find one interesting infomercial.  I’ve seen them all or I already own what they are trying to sell me.  I’ve been known to occasionally call in an order those things as seen on TV. Well, it didn’t seem to help at all tonight so I flipped through the magazines on my night stand.

Magazines weren’t much help either.  I finished all three of the magazines in about 30 minutes and still couldn’t sleep.  I thought for sure trying to read and being soo tired would help me fall asleep. Nope, still awake.  At this point my tummy started to grumble so I got up and poured myself a bowl of Cheerios and milk. I like the multi-grain kind, they have a slight sweetness but they don’t taste like I’m eating sugar cubes.  I wish they had them when I was a kid.

Now that I have a full belly, have caught up on my magazines, and flipped through all of the television channels, I thought I’d pop online and work on my blog a bit.  Don’t be surprised if I crank out a bunch of posts today.  If I can’t sleep I might as well write.

Choosing Your Wedding Garters To Make Lasting Memories

Wedding garters are a neat tradition to celebrate at your wedding. I have always loved watching all of the single men gather around the bride and groom as the groom carefully removes the wedding garter from his new blushing bride. It’s always exciting when they make him do it without the use of his hands.

I suggest getting a wedding garter set that contains two wedding garters. This way you have one for the groom to toss and then you get to keep one as a precious memento from your wedding. Wedding garter sets make it easy to have coordinating garters to keep and toss out among all of the eligible bachelors.

When selecting a wedding garter set it’s important to remember the design and quality. Of course you’ll want to choose a wedding garter that is worthy of seeing. Why choose something that you wouldn’t want anyone to look at. Pick something special that matches your style. An excellent choice would be to coordinate your wedding garter to your wedding garter belt.

Wedding garters now come in a variety of sizes too. Make sure you select something that not only looks great but that is comfortable to wear too. You don’t want your bride itching and scratching because her wedding garter is uncomfortable.
