I’ve got an idea stuck in my head, and I can thank my kid sister for that. She had brought up some time ago the idea of a few of us close female family member taking a holiday trip to some place nice and warm, like Maui for example. She keeps talking about this and it has really gotten my excited about doing something like this maybe for the next holiday season, after this year’s one that is up and coming quicker than I’d like it to. This year no one has any extra money for presents or a trip and a stay at one of the plush Maui Condos that we have been talking and dreaming of so quite some time now.
Who wouldn’t enjoy a nice relaxing holiday season for a change. Instead of dealing with all the stress and madness that takes place during those crazy months that so many people and families get put through each and every year. Sitting on a tropical beach, soaking up the sun, people watching and drinking one of those drinks with the little umbrella in it sounds so much better than dealing with the wet, cold, nasty weather that comes along during those holiday months.

I’m so glad that I switched over to Direct TV. I just hope that we don’t lose power over the weekend due to the up and coming arrival of the hurricane that we have been watching the progress of on our new Direct TV system. I have always wanted a generator for the house just for occasions such as this, but we haven’t had the extra money lately to put into something like this. Right now my main concern is finding a home security system to have installed so I have Googled “home security cordova” to see what kind of deals I can find.
Since the economy doesn’t seem to be letting up at all, there has been more and more home break ins and robberies happening and I just don’t feel safe anymore. Even though we really don’t have much of anything of value around here they could still walk away with some of the electronics and really trash the place searching for more things that we might possibly have and that just wouldn’t be cool. We have worked hard for the things that we have.
In the mean time I’m praying that these hurricane doesn’t hit as hard as they are saying it could hit. Be safe.

This summer has been so hot that I haven’t been able to enjoy any of the outside activities that I usually participate in, due to the extreme heat. It seems that the older I get the worse I am with dealing with extreme temperatures, hot or cold. I’m having a hard time finding the right kind of clothes to wear during this heat wave of a summer. It seems that all of the shorts that I usually wear during the summer just aren’t cutting the mustard, they seem to tight and constricting which is so uncomfortable to begin with and when the sweat starts into the picture I am so miserable. Even my deodorant is failing me this year, I’m just a mess.
So, my best friend came up with a great idea and sent me the link to http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/ and told me to pick out a set of cotton scrubs that I wouldn’t mind wearing in public this summer. I was amazed to see all of the varieties of medical uniforms that are out there for our good folks that are in the medical field. So it didn’t take me long to find several outfits that I wouldn’t mind sporting around town. I put my order in and they should be arriving in short order and I’m excited to find out how they look and fit and mainly how they feel out in this outrageous heat. Thanks BFF for the idea, hope it works!

I don’t quite understand how you can avoid washing dishes using this machine, maybe at least rinse them off? Or scrape off any solids? The narrator (inventor?) says you just put the dirty plate on the machine. What do you think?
Anyway, I think this is an awesome invention: I’d love to have one!

Over the weekend I went to a co workers house for a Mary Kay make-over party. It was a small turnout, but everyone was very nice and we had a good time. We had snacks and beverages, played a few games, won some pretty cool prizes. Then we all spent some time doing make-overs on each other and had some good laughs which is always a nice welcome.
I was given the nickle tour of the house, since I’d never been there before. I do so enjoy looking at how everyone decorates their homes, and like to think about how I might incorporate their good ideas, or avoid their bad ones! They had recently redecorated their family room in a contemporary fashion, and had included one of those new massage chairs! Everyone at the party had the chance to sit in the massage chair for a few minutes to see how wonderful the massage was. Now I know what I want for Christmas this year!
