Vegas, Baby! 2007-04-17 02:38:00 I looked into how much it would be for Craig and I to fly into Vegas
for a few days. We love just walking around looking at the sites. We like staying at either the Luxor or Paris. I even mentioned it to him the other day and he was all for it, except for the fact that we don't have the money to do it right now. Just a little "technical difficulty". *wink*But anyway, if you'd like to drool over some gorgeous properties, go take a look at Las Vegas real estate. Look at this gorgeous home. Did you look at the pictures? Absolutely beautiful!
Yard Work 2007-04-16 17:55:00 Yesterday was a great day. We went to Lowe's and got some flowers for the yard, weed killer and seeds for the garden. The princesses picked out some seeds for a little garden they're going to make. Mowed the front lawn. I had lowered the lawn mower down and scalped some of the yard (oops!) It should grow back soon (I hope), but it looks really nice. I mowed about a quarter of the backyard, but our yard cart (garbage can for yard stuff) was full and it won't be picked up until Wednesday. So I guess I get to finish later this week. We then went to my parents' house and Craig helped my dad load some swap meet stuff on the trailer and I helped my mom pull a few weeds. I even got a bit sunburned.
Writing a Book? 2007-04-18 05:57:00 I've thrown around the idea about writing a book. If I was to write one, it would be a children's book. One thing holding me back would be the whole publishing aspect. That is enough to hold me back.There's now a book publisher that can help you get that book published. You, as the author, get to control such decisions as to when and how many are printed. Your book will then be available at 25,000 stores and even at online stores! So what are you waiting for? Get to writing!
Support Virginia Tech!! 2007-04-18 05:20:00 Friday, April 20, Hokie Hope: Orange and Maroon Effect -- Virginia
Tech family members across the country have united to declare this Friday, April 20, an "Orange and Maroon Effect" day to honor those killed in the tragic events on campus Monday and to show support for VT students, faculty, administrators, staff, alumni, and friends. Everyone across the country is invited to be part of the Virginia Tech family this Friday and wear orange and maroon to support the families of those who were lost and support the school and community.

Virginia Tech 2007-04-17 17:15:00 My heart and prayers go out to all the students, faculty, families of the victims, police officers, EMT's, etc. of this senseless tragedy. In a way I'm glad we, the people, don't have to support this coward in jail for the rest of his life, but I also would have liked to see him suffer for his actions. Then he went and shot himself in the face. I bet he thought he was pretty smart doing that. Figured he'd give one more jab to the police. Well, I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking of him as a coward!It makes me so scared to let my Princesses out of my site or to date. All of this senselessness over a jealous ex-boyfriend. Incredible.

It's Raining....again 2007-04-21 17:25:00 Thursday and Friday were gorgeous. Youngest Princess kept asking if we could go out and plant the flowers we bought last weekend. Would have been a great idea had I not been sick with strep throat....again! UGH! I need to call the doc because they gave me straight penicillin and I think it's giving me stomach cramps. When it wears off, I feel better. Take another pill, start getting stomach cramps. Only half an hour till they open. But, my throat is feeling better. lol But of course, today, it's raining. Poor flowers will have to wait for another day. Read more:Raining
This Cracks Me Up 2007-04-22 17:19:00 According to Julie, I'm an Asshole-list blogger. ROFLMAO!! It's all about the blogrolls, baby! LOL
P-U! 2007-04-27 01:39:00 I went out to continue to mow the back lawn and I pulled and the lawn mower started right up. YAY! Then died. Started. Then died. I looked in the gas tank. Almost dry. *sigh* Went and found our little gas can and it too was almost gone. Oh well, put as much as I could into the mower, but of course since I had to turn it upside down, gas spilled from the vent and all over both hands. So now, even though I've washed numerous times, I can still smell it.
Great Weekend 2007-04-30 16:33:00 The weather was beautiful. It was between 65-70 degrees. Saturday afternoon, I helped a friend paint her two bedrooms. The one bedroom had been painted black by the people before them. That was fun to cover up. NOT! LOL We put 2 coats of primer on it and it's finally ready for paint. We also painted her bedroom. It turned out really pretty. I woke up yesterday morning pretty sore, but not as sore as I expected to be.Yesterday I ended up singing on Worship Team. I was in the back though because I hadn't planned on singing so I was wearing capri pants. LOL Yesterday afternoon was my cousin's daughter's (is that my 2nd cousin?? I never understood that stuff) birthday party. It was fun and yummy. We came home and I mowed the lawn (Yes, I just mowed it on Monday, but the fertilizer I used is really working!! LOL). I then watched a bunch of stuff I had DVR'd and really didn't do a whole lot the rest of the day. Nice and relaxing! Read more:Great

Oh to be a ladybug 2007-05-08 16:49:00 Youngest Princess just informed me she wishes she was a ladybug. I then asked why. Her answer: "So I can fllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" Hmmm, maybe I have a future pilot on my hands. Or, maybe she'll hang glide which will then send me to the loony bin. LOL I don't think I have enough nerves to watch that!
Coupons 2007-05-07 17:43:00 Whenever I shop online, I look for online coupons. A penny saved is a penny earned, right? CouponChief.com has over 1,000 stores. You'll most likely find the store you're looking for!There's a section for The Children's Place coupons. The Children's Place has some awesome deals! But what I really like is that you can still use a coupon code even if you're getting a sale or clearance price! Right now, couponchief.com is showing four different coupons for The Children's Place. One of them is even for $5 flat rate shipping! I love flat rate shipping from online stores!Don't forget to go check out CouponChief.com before you buy!! Read more:Coupons
Weather 2007-05-07 17:41:00 It is May, right? OK, just checking. Last week was sunny, overcast, pouring buckets, hailing and wind. Crazy, I tell you! This week it's supposed to be 79! Too bad I work all day and then both girls have dance tonight. *sigh*
Small Business Bookkeeping 2007-05-07 16:20:00 Since I'm a bookkeeper, I know how difficult doing payroll and keeping the books can be for a business.Accountingparadise.com has made that process a lot more simple for small business bookkeeping. They have set up numerous companies and you can even get Quick Books online at a discount. You can't beat that! Bookkeeping
services start at $10 a month. $10 a month is so cheap for a little piece of mind knowing that everything is taken care of.If you need payroll services, prices start at $6 per employee. Payroll can be such a confusing process with all the federal and state taxes and forms. Letting someone else worry about all the "fine print" is definitely worth $6 an employee!Check outAccountingparadise.com if you need an inexpensive way to keep your books and payroll organized to the last penny!

Someone was looking out for us 2007-05-07 05:35:00 So after church we had to run to Target to get the cat food. After leaving Target, we had to stop behind people getting out of the car (guy was dropping them off) and this lady backed out from a parking space and hit the side of my Cherokee. I look out my window and see a cartrunk right outside the window. The car pulls back into the spot and I get out (imgagining the whole side caved in) and look at the damage. Craig asks, "So how bad is it?" I look at the back door and don't see much. I then close my door and don't see much. The woman gets out of her car asking if we're ok. Believe it or not, neither one of our cars has any damage. Not a scratch!! We all couldn't believe it. She must have hit us square on so that her bumper gave and our shocks took the brunt of it. We were all very thankful that someone was looking out for us today!
Can You Feel the Love Tonight? 2007-05-11 01:08:00 Ok, so I'm not Elton John. LOL But I am a Pay Per Post blogger (or Postie as we're called in PPP circles). You've heard about Pay Per Post, right? Do you blog? Well, guess what! You can get paid to blog, too.I've been blogging with Pay Per Post since February and I've made almost $250.00. I could have made more, but I've been so busy with life, I haven't taken the time to sit down and blog much!The $250 is basically "found" money. I LOVE "found" money. LOL I'm actually saving it to get Oldest Princess some new glasses. She needs them as she hasn't had new ones in about 3 years and her current ones are all scratched up. I also want to save up for the next time we go to Disneyland or Walt Disney World. It will be spending money that I won't have to feel guilty over.Would you like "found" money too? What are you waiting for? Go! Sign up! Read more:Tonight
Great Week! 2007-05-11 01:06:00 It's been a wonderful week! The weather's been outstanding! Yesterday, I mowed the front lawn. I did half of the back lawn and ran out of gas. LOL Need to get more tomorrow. Youngest Princess and I tried the grill to see if we had propane left (we couldn't remember). Yep, we had propane. WOOHOO!! I cleaned up the grill and we had barbecued chicken last night. Yum! Read more:Great
Well This is Good News.....LOL 2007-05-13 16:31:00 Kelli&Craig97% Compatible♥ Kelli and Craig have been romantically-together for a long time. That alone demonstrates a degree of compatibility. Similar personality descriptions are a plus. Their shared faith will help form a bond between them. They both abstain from drinking, so that helps compatibility. Their astrological signs are in harmony, which is a plus. And their views on children are similar. The fact that Craig is dominant, while Kelli is submissive will help make a relationship work harmoniously. Overall, Kelli and Craig are highly compatible. They are capable of having a beautiful relationship together. ♥Test Your Dating Compatibility Read more:Good News
Reunion 2007-05-12 05:00:00 This year is Craig's 20 year reunion. It's now May and we've figured we've got to hear something soon. The light bulb finally went off and I did an internet search. Lo and behold, they have a website. Craig seems to be on the "Lost" list. Gee, that's funny, we've lived in the same house we lived in 10 years ago and they have all that information. It was in the thingy they sent out after the 10 year about what people are doing, how many kids, etc. On the website, they have our last name spelled wrong. :eyeroll: I suppose that's the reason he's "lost" but doesn't really make a whole lot of sense since if they pulled their head out and looked at the thingy that has our address in it.......You know what's funny (NOT!) is he had to track them down for his 10 year too. He was lost then, even though his mom had the same phone number he did in high school. :eyeroll:
HDTV Tuesdays 2007-05-15 05:13:00 Have you heard about HDTVTuesdays
? You've heard me talk about Pay Per Post, right? Well, if you just crawled out from under your rock and have no clue what I'm talking about, Pay Per Post is the blog network that pays you for blogging about things you would blog about anyway.Anyway, I did say HDTV Tuesday, didn't I? On to the good stuff!!! Pay Per Post is giving away really cool prizes. For example, the first Tuesday in May, they gave away Apple TVs. Last Tuesday, the big prize was a Playstation 3. This week, you could grab up a Yamaha Surround Sound System, a Slingbox, a Nintendo Wii (and you know how hard those are to find!), or a Logitech Universal Remote. We have that remote and love it! If you'll remember, I posted that Craig even programmed it to run the Roomba!! LOLAnyway, go give some love to the sponsor Bid4Prizes.com of these fantastic prizes. It's a fun site to win some fun prizes! The lowest unique bid wins! What an interesting concept. Just think what yo
Youthful Ignorance 2007-05-22 21:57:00 Bahahahaha! Youngest Princess just said to Craig....you're 37, right? How old is Mommy? 20? or 30? Bahahahahahaha He robbed the cradle, but not quite that bad. :wink:
Craptastic Mother 2007-05-20 20:53:00 I must be the most craptastic mother on the planet!I noticed this morning that the little marigold plant that Youngest Princess planted in Sunday School and gave me last week for Mother's Day was all dry and the flowers were hanging over. I quickly watered it, but it's too far gone I'm afraid. :( I couldn't even keep it alive for a week!
VisaBuxx 2007-05-20 19:51:00 Being the mom of a pre-teen, I think this is a fantastic idea! Have you heard about PAYjr Visa Buxx? It's a chore and allowance system for kids. Plus, when Oldest Princess becomes a teen, she can get a prepaid VisaBuxx card.The whole system just seems like a win-win! I can assign the chores and then print out a chore chart. The system will even send an email to Oldest Princess reminding her of the chore and how much it's worth, so I don't have to sound like a nagging mom. I can do it the high-tech way! *wink*Oldest Princess can watch her savings add up. She can also learn about budgeting for what she really needs, as opposed to what she thinks she wants. Her thinking is changed when it's her money.In a few months, when she becomes a teen, she can earn the prepaid MasterCard. I can track where she's spending her money. It's such a great idea! She knows how much she has to spend and can't go over it!
Is it Tuesday Yet? 2007-05-20 19:47:00 Oh my goodness. This last week has been so hectic! I worked over 40 hours at my one job this past week. We were getting ready to have an auction to benefit Royal Family Kids Camps for foster kids. One night I worked until 9:00. Friday night, the night of the auction, I didn't get home until almost 11:30. But, we made $33K for the camp!! WOOHOO!! Yesterday, Youngest Princess and I were in a parade. It wasn't really sunny, but I managed to get sunburned. Luckily Youngest Princess didn't. From there, I went to help with the school's garage sale. Today I was in the nursery during church. Tomorrow night is the Princesses' dance recital. Come Tuesday
