I Know the Economy is Bad But…

12.22.09 ø 5

…does that mean I have to sit back and just take it when everyone raises their prices on me?  Seriously, the economy is having an effect on our family’s personal finances, too, so if a company or service raises their prices too much I will just stop buying whatever it is they are offering.  I […]

Not Dead

12.20.09 ø 1

Despite all rumors I am not dead.  Really.  This blog is though it seems.  Over two months without an update?  Yikes, sorry about that.  I blame Facebook.  If I have anything interesting to say I usually do it there.  Besides, I’m not that exciting of a person so I really haven’t had much to say.  […]

Medical Stuff

10.08.09 ø 3

I’m amused that today there is an article in the newspaper about trying to ease parents’ fears about getting the H1N1/Swine flu vaccine for their children.  This is following the article in yesterday’s newspaper announcing the arrival of the first vaccines arriving in Texas…all 142,400 doses.  Keep in mind that the metro area I live […]

My Life…

08.21.09 ø 2

Yes, I know this blog sucks.  Well, I try to keep up but there is only so much I can do.  Blogging isn’t high on my list of priorities.
Here is my life right now:  My oldest son is about to start high school… :O  He spent the last three weeks at summer band learning how […]

Makes No Sense…

07.14.09 ø 2

It’s been a hot summer…even for Southern Texas.  Just really, really hot.  The heat index is over 100 every day for most, if not all, of the past month.  To  make matters worse there hasn’t been much rain so we are in a drought, too.
Because of the drought the city has imposed new water restrictions […]

Keeping Up With the Jonses…Online

04.29.09 ø 9

I used to feel so forward with online tech things…now I feel like an old dinosaur or something.  I just cannot keep up with all the new-fangled online gizmos that everyone else seems so enthusiastic over.  Or maybe it’s that I don’t want to (in some cases that’s true).  Here’s the list of what I […]

Much Better…

Check out the new kitchen counter tops!

My husband did all the tile work himself.  Aren’t they nice?   So it’s not granite like we wanted but these are so much better then the old ones I really don’t care.  Not only that but the color is tons better.  Out cabinets and appliances are white and the […]

So It Begins…

04.14.09 ø 3

We’ve put it off long enough…the counter tops in our kitchen have to go.  So we are now in the process of redoing those in our kitchen.  Our house is a construction zone complete with all that dust and noise.  My husband has the whole week off to get as far as he can in […]

My Online Store

03.02.09 ø 3

I decided to try out opening a store at Etsy.  Etsy is a place where people go to buy and sell handmade goods, it’s a really neat place to shop.  My store features my handmade doll clothes, made for the various types of collector dolls I have.  You can visit here:  Click
I know the name […]
