Winds are up

Boy I’m glad they kicked up hard after I was already home.  I hate the wind.  We get high winds here, hurricane force all the time and no one in the world cares.  lol  But I still hate it.  You can hear it hitting harder than normal on the front window.  Which means it’s not coming from the mountains and the snow storm isn’t here yet.

There is supposed to be one more big storm coming in and I am told by my Dad it is expected Thurs. night.  So we’ll see tomorrow.  My Dad works security at the port and the ships are all trying to get by tomorrow morning, so that is a better sign I think than any doppler radar.  lol

Laziness is bad

Here I sit on the couch again.  There is snow on the ground and more on the way, but the main roads aren’t bad at all.  Our side road of course is, but that always is.  Nothing you can’t get through even without a 4 wheel drive.  I’ve hit the button just because, but it’s more hassle to pull over once you are on the main roads, then it’s really worth. lol

my old glasses

Oh boy, I’m wearing my new glasses. At least that is what I call them. LOL I got them 9 years ago in Feb. Good grief, that is pitiful.

In my defense I did called around here recently because I obviously need a new prescription, my glasses aren’t strong enough anymore, but every place I talked to didn’t take my insurance. I only want a prescription from the eye doctor, then I will order online instead. Why pay my deductible when I can go to Zenni optical and order new glasses and even sunglasses starting at only $8. Lots of free extras are included and shipping is a flat rate $4.95. I really want some prescription sunglasses! But couldn’t really afford them before, now I will be able to have some sweet glasses and actually see. lol

SNOW!

It finally hit.  They’ve been teasing me and saying we’d get it for days, but the snow finally was delivered.  There’s about 4 inches out there which is a good dump for us.  More is supposed to be on the way again tonight and then Thursdayish another storm is coming through.  Quit odd for this late in the winter.  But I’ll take it.  Big problem is trying to get the son’s bday party planned around all of this.

Menu planning special

So Menu Planning Central has had a rough start to the year, but it’s to our benefit.

Here’s the story… “If you have visited Menu Planning Central in the last week or so, you have probably noticed that things weren’t quite right. Our
web-host was doing some minor maintenance on our site. When he finished he went to restore our site from the back-up. The only problem? For some
reason the back-up feature had not been working properly since September. Apparently this had never happened before to our hosting company, but it
happened to us. Therefore, when our site was restored, it was restored back to September. Considering that we’d launched only a few months prior to
that, we lost most of our members.”

Chocolate Jelly Mom

The Ten Chocolate Commandments For Mom
©Lisa Barker

The cacao plant’s botanical name, Theobroma cacao, literally means “food of the gods.” To its many devotees, chocolate is exactly that.

And, chocolate has many positive properties such as antioxidants (good for the heart) and a substance known as phenylethylamine that creates a mood akin to falling in love.

So it’s no wonder that survival of motherhood is directly related to the faith we invest in chocolate to sustain us through stressful times.  While chocolate should never replace the rightful presence of a Greater Being, God, in one’s life, from Whom all chocolate flows, one must respect the basic commandments regarding chocolate to ensure harmony among all mothers of good will.

Saturday!!!

Yeah I made it!  She worked overtime so I didn’t get to her house until 7:30, but who cares?  Didn’t even drink so much I was hungover AWESOME!  We did absolutely nothing.  The tv was on stupid tv shows, but we didn’t even pay attention.  We just talked all night.  It was awesome, we hit it off so well.

We watched the first rock of love again of the season and laughed at ourselves for how cheesy we are watching it.  Was going to get ready to go home in the morning and we saw that the new episode was on.  So I had to stay and watch it with her.  lolol  It’s good to find a friend you can watch stupid tv with.

Friday

Here’s how the day started.  Hubby’s alarm clock hit the second buzz and I was instantly awake.  What was I doing hearing his alarm clock?  HOLY SHIT!  My appointment was an hour ago.  WTF?  Great, missed the appointment, can’t call her yet to beg forgiveness because her cell phone is dead and she is still at the gym.  I can’t believe I didn’t actually turn the alarm on.  I set the right time, but didn’t turn it on.  SHIT!

Thursday

ARGHHH, when is this week going to end.  I have already earned my girl’s night out, I don’t have to do more.  So every day has been a mess.  Don’t even want to post it all anymore because I’m sick of listening to myself whine.  My evening appointment made me seriously work for my money and that capped off my night.  Nuff said

The puppies

There are so many days that these little dogs help carry me through.  It gets pretty lonely as I adapt to the kids getting older and not needing me as much, my working and hubby being gone for 24 hour shifts.  There have been many times I’ve been blue and their they are.  So damn happy to see me like I’ve been gone for weeks and not just walked out of the room for 5 minutes.  lol
