One of my co-workers is a young 26 year old girl. She's of Latin descent, and very tall and beautiful. She wears some very different things, but they all look great on her! One day she came, wearing some very tall, black sexy boots, with a cuff at the knee, with some black leggings, and a red and white striped top. I was teasing her, telling her all she needed was a big black hat, and she would look like Puss 'N Boots!
Just last week, I submitted a huge book order for our preschool class. I had searched around for a Amazon coupon code, and at the time, I couldn't find one. I wonder, since my order has still not shipped, if I can go back and use the code now? I know I can still add, or cancel items, so I should be able to. I'm going to go check that out!
A fellow blogger, named Jill from Chimommy and her family are moving any day now, as they retire from the military. I wonder if they hired a New York Moving Company to help them! I don't envy them! A cross country move with 2 kids, and 3 pets. I wish them all the best for a good, problem, free move, as I know their last move was anything BUT that!
It's my 50th birthday at the end of April. So, hubby has been asking me what I want. We usually don't do too much for birthday gifts, but hubby just turned 50 in December, so I got him a beautiful leather man chair which he loves, so he wants to get me something nice. I've thought about a lot of different things. I looked at raymond weil watches, rings, necklaces, an things like that, and then I thought that what I really wanted was a good camera. Now, I'm not even so sure about that, because I don't know that I take enough pictures, or will take the time to learn to use it to it's full potential! I guess I have some time to think about it!
I sincerely wish the media would ignore Brittney so that she and her family could quietly work on getting the poor girl some mental health help. It's clear that she is suffering from some sort of mental illness. You have to wonder why her talent management team haven't tried to do something to stop her from destroying what was at one time a lucrative career!
When I was shopping for hubby's 50th birthday gift, I knew I wanted to get him some kind of "man chair". First, I looked at home theater seating, but quickly realized that our family room was far too small to accommodate such large furniture. Instead, I went with a really nice chocolate brown leather recliner. It is gorgeous, and incredibly comfy! Hubby loves it!
When Sarah was registering for University, she also looked into student loans, because she had to move out of town and attend a rural delivery program, rather than going to the university here in town because her grades weren't the best coming out of high school. Because she had slacked off, and "caused" this glitch, we told her we would pay her tuition and books, but she had to pay for room and board herself. She could not get a student loan, because WE made too much money. She had to take a student line of credit instead! Why should the bank "make us" pay all her education costs. Maybe we had never planned to pay for university?! Many of Sarah's friends did it all on their own, with no help from their folks. I don't see what we make, has to do with our daughter getting a loan. Hmmmph!
One thing that is on my wish list for the new year, is a memory foam mattress for our king sized bed. All the kids have them, and they absolutely swear by them. They love them! One thing I do know about them is that they don't smell good at all when they're first unwrapped, and they're quite hard to wrestle into the mattress cover!! I heard Ben had quite the adventure with that task!
