Our Adventure In The Woods
2007-05-11 06:59:44
Warning: Division by zero in /home/sophis/public_html/wp-content/plugins/tla_95381.php on line 595 Yesterday afternoon Greg and I decided to “hike” and explore around “the lake”. We had so much fun. I got so dirty. Note: never hike in flip flops. My flip flops were broken in by walking the first trail that we went on. This trail was more of a walking trail than a hiking trail. But anyway, when we decided to explore another side of the lake, I stepped in mud, then walked bare foot through some rocks, got a pebble stuck in my foot. I washed my feet and flip flops off in the lake, but they were still dirty. I tried going to the bathrooms, but they didn’t have sinks, there were no doors, and to top it off they were full of goose poop, even the toilets! It was disgusting, but quite amusing that an animal pooped all over the bathrooms and toilets. The second trail that we went on was an actual hiking trail. There were rocks that we could walk on to view the

What better way to break it in than to personalize it with truck accessories? How about a bedliner to protect the bed of your truck from fast wear and tear? Or maybe a utility box to store those much needed tools on the road? Or, if you’re the “showoff” type, how about some ground effects or a billet grille? Whatever it is you may desire, BuyAutoTruck Accessories.com has all the truck accessories you’ll need individualize your truck the way you want.

I’m going to post two pictures since I missed out on last Sunday ’s Green Thumb Sunday. Flowers from our first hike. The picture’s clickable.The flowers I got my mother and aunt for Mother’s Day. I had the flowers delivered on Friday. When my mother got them, she called me a sneak. The day that I placed the order she was hinting around about Mother’s Day. I had already ordered them beforehand, but I acted as if I didn’t get anything. My Mother: You know Mother’s Day is right about the corner. It came quick! I really wasn’t thinking about it. Me: Until the commercials. My Mother: YEP!!! Me: *laughs* My Mother: *laughs* Happy Mother’s Day Moms! Join Green Thumb Sunday!

Menopause A to Z

Warning: Division by zero in /home/sophis/public_html/wp-content/plugins/tla_95381.php on line 595 One thing in life that I’m not looking forward to is menopause. I’ve heard many horror stories about the hot flashing. Sometimes I really truly believe that I experience hot flashes, so I know that they aren’t all that lovely, especially experiencing them so frequently. When going through menopause one may be wondering what’s happening to my body? or what can I do to help me get through this?. Deju vu? Puberty! There are sites that help teens get through puberty and NOW there’s sites that help women get through menopause. Menopause A to Z is a site that provides information on menopause and real life situations from ladies who have already experienced menopause. Now us ladies won’t feel like we’re walking in the dark when going through menopause.

The reason being that I have to backup files either to my Zen Nano and Greg’s laptop. I didn’t feel like going through the hassle, but I was surfing PPP and was reminded about idrive.com. Idrive.com provides 2GB of encrypted online backup storage free, and unlimited storage for $4.95 a month. I can’t believe that I had forgotten about them! I really need to reformat because my browser won’t allow me to click anything in it or goes white when I try using it when returning from sleep mode.

Warning: Division by zero in /home/sophis/public_html/wp-content/plugins/tla_95381.php on line 595 I’d like to thank everyone who commented on the last general post “They Did It?“. I’m glad to see that I’m not alone and no one thinks I’m weird, lol. I just want to make this post quick. I have loads running through my mind. I need to set up some auctions on ebay for Greg’s textbooks and possibly my Canon Rebel. See I can get a Rebel for much cheaper than what was paid for mine. I can also be able to have the things I’ve been longing for, a tripod, a better zoom lens, carrying case, etc. So hopefully I can get this thing sold for at least $500. I’d like to direct attention to the No Laundry on Mother’s Day Contest. All you have to do is share your Mother’s Day rules if you have any.

Warning: Division by zero in /home/sophis/public_html/wp-content/plugins/tla_95381.php on line 595 Those “spiders” that were stuck to Greg after hiking were ticks. They looked like jumping spiders but after giving it some thought and finding two on Caesar, it was obvious what they were. Greg must have brought more than 2 in the house because the 2 that were attached to him, he removed, and then I found 2 on Caesar while bathing him. I removed them and put alcohol on the area, so all is well. We will be watching out for any symptoms since some ticks do carry diseases. When we take Caesar to get some shots, we’ll also tell them about it. We’re also gonna get Caesar a tick collar and other products for when we actually do take him out hiking and some Deet and Permethrin for us. I made a montage of our hike and I’m in love with it.

Good thing I didn’t because I made more money today online than I would have at work. If I run in right now I could make $13. If only I could be at work and blog too. I did volunteer myself to work Thursday morning - I NEVER do mornings but it’s money. Greg’s been working a lot. I’m happy about that. On top of that, he gets more hours and makes more than me an hour. I’m thinking about working at Sears too, I’m just not ready to give Hollister the boot yet, maybe I can work at both stores. I think I’m going to apply at Sears anyway because they are still hiring. It would be fun to dress up in sophisticated button up shirts and “slacks” and drool over appliances.

I tried to get Blue Cross Blue Shield Illinois Health Insurance and was denied because of a pre-existing condition, scoliosis. My scoliosis isn’t bad but say it gets bad, then they would have to start dishing out money that’s not within their budget. After having the run around, I just said forget it. I do need health insurance, however it isn’t in my budget right now. Until I start my career, I’m counting on not getting seriously ill nor visiting the emergency room anymore. I was charged $453 to get a cut on my hand dermabonded. Good thing I didn’t get stitches instead, it would have been more. Had I known how much I was gonna be charged, I would have detoured to Walgreens .

I only left one for Greg to try and I almost ate it waiting on him to come home! After he tasted the ONE that I left him, he wanted to go candy shopping. These chews remind me of the Mambo candy, but they are healthier of course. The Noni chews contain 10% of pure Tahitian Noni juice from Polynesia. Polynesians have been known to use the Noni fruit for its healthful properties. Now the Noni fruit’s being used in many products by Tahitian Noni for better health. Tahitian Noni supports the immune system, delivers superior antioxidants that help rid the body of harmful free radicals, increases energy, and allows greater physical performance levels. How could something so healthy taste so good?

I do have some student loans but they aren’t for as much as they could be had I not applied for Student financial aid. College student loans can be a burden to some. That’s why there are sites like premierstudentloan.com to help students consolidate student loans into smaller monthly payments until they can get back on their feet again. I’d just suggest that once the payments aren’t so much of a burden anymore, start making larger payments so that they’ll be paid off and out of the way before retirement.

I remember when I used to wear contacts because I didn’t want to wear glasses. Now, I don’t care to wear contacts. They make me sneeze when I put them in and it takes longer to put them in than just grabbing a pair of glasses and going. I’m totally against color contacts, yes they make some look “better” but it’s “better” to be liked for the “real” you and not your fake eyes. While on the subject, I hate when people pick a color that doesn’t even go with their complexion. Hello that’s not your real eye color! Give it up! Now on to the clear ones, I have to put on eye makeup whenever I pop in clear. See, I have beady little brown hamster eyes. I look really young without the makeup.

Those run for about $160 and are a just a bit larger than a microwave. I could get a used standard sized portable for $55 or less. When I cook, I generate a huge load of dishes, so the counter top dishwasher is well out of the picture. I still can’t decide about window treatments, blinds, curtains or both? Roller Blinds may do the trick. They contain the fabric aspect of a curtain and they are still blinds. Hmmm. I should probably choose paint colors first before I go on about blinds
