Pamper Me Contest

How would you like to win one of the pamper me sets? Who wouldn’t like free bath supplies right? And this is totally free, shipping included. It’s super easy to enter. Just go to my friend Loretta’s blog Just Not Martha and follow the directions.

She’s only requiring you to blog about why you don’t take time to pamper yourself or your favorite getaway moment. Nothing difficult. Then include the link to the contest so your friends can enter as well, leave a comment on the contest page and you are entered! She’s made some cute graphics you can use to spiffy up your post as well. A little bling is good for a girl and her blog.

My new step-babies

The kids have been waiting forever. Ok, I have been as well. lol But today we finally got our turn at the joint custody of the girls. My Aunt inherited them from a couple that were like parents to her. She travels a lot but she has gotten used to having them around. So I offered a joint custody deal so she can travel as much as she wants and still have the girls when she is home. Her kids are all going to be out of the house in the next couple of months, so it will be hard on her.

Middle name meme

It’s been a little while since I’ve been tagged, so I’m happy to get this one. They go in spurts don’t they? lol Thanks Ami-chen for the tag. Thankfully I only have to come up with 4 tags for this one, so I can do that no problem. lol

The Rules:

Reno day 1

I know everyone’s been waiting with baited breath right. Where’s the posts about Reno. Well life didn’t slow down once I got home so I didn’t get to posting. I’ll start now and just go through day by day. lol But let’s just say I am so glad I went. It was a blast and I can’t wait to take hubby and then the kids down there as well. It’s my new favorite place to go. So beware, these will be long posts!

Acne cures

I know I’ve posted earlier about how great Proactive is. But I get updates on specials they are running and I want to pass them on to you as well. Right now they are having a special to try out the products. You can get three of the essentials to try in trial size (they will last you at least a month) for only $19.95. You will also get 2 bonuses with that order. Hopefully it will be one of the masks because those work great. They work even better when they are free. lol

Reno’s almost here

I won’t believe it until I get on the plane. lol I’ve flown once in my life. To San Diego on a family vacation my senior year. My Mom was so freaked out I couldn’t even leave me seat and my seat belt had to stay on the whole time. So it’s only fitting that the next time I fly, 17 years later, I’m going with my Mom again.

OMG Cockroaches?

I do believe there are roaches in this motel.  I’m afraid to go to sleep.  I’m trying to get drunk so I will pass out and this will ruin
my families time tomorrow, but there are roaches in the bathroom.  EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I’m in Washington state and we don’t have roaches, so don’t even give me attitude about it’s normal.  It’s not!  I’m in a cheap hotel and
we will never stay here again.  Believe me, I will be booking it from now on.  I will map it out every other weekend if needed, but
I will not sleep in a roach motel.  My foot is on the floor and I keep waiting to feel something.  I go to the bathroom and kill 2 little
roaches each time.

Hotel Hell

I’m writing this post from Westport, but can’t post it until Sunday.  GASP, no WIFI!

We are staying in hotel hell, so please look for our story in the next horror movie.  lol  But we are only in the room to sleep
so $50 is $50.  We haven’t found a room for this cheap for many years.  But alas we ran out of hot water after the kids took a shower
so guess it’s worth it to spend a little more.  Hubby is about ready to crash from all the fresh air we have gotten and he hasn’t
gotten a shower yet.    I can stay up for hours (it’s only 9:44) and the hot water will be back I’m sure.  Not sure if he will make it
to a shower.  lol  The room is totally ghetto and smells of smoke, but it would be perfect if they’d just get some new beds and new
comforters.  It smells like my Great-grandma’s house used to.  bahahaha

Brady’s Oyster Feed

We have wanted to hit this oyster feed for the last few years. Finally we hit it by accident. lol This was the only weekend we were
available to runaway to the ocean and low and behold, it’s oyster feed weekend! WOOHOO, all you can eat oysters!

Not only is it all you can eat, but the $14 price went to the clean water fund. Sweet, tax deduction for food!

To the ocean this weekend

Well I am literally on the road to the ocean.  I did have internet service for a few seconds when we stopped for a bathroom break.
The comfort in was across the street.  lol  But I’m just typing up drafts and then I’ll post them later.  Hopefully tonight, but I
know there is internet access at Brady’s (www.bradysoysters.com) so I can log on from there.  Course I’ll get a major bad look for
doing that.  So I think I’ll stick to waiting for a hotel tonight.  Man, what am I going to do if we can’t get a hotel with wifi?
