It seems like everyone I know is either buying a new car or thinking about buying a new car. Well, I decided to car shop myself. I found this great Buick Laserne (2007) with 1.9% financing! I test drove it and decided why not...It has been about 20 years since I had a new car. They are going to draw up the paperwork on Monday and on Monday ( Read more... )

Another friggin snowstorm. I just got in from using the snowblower, the drifts are up to my knees! And its still snowing....UUGGGHHHH!!

Well, got the kitchen done, started the living room. My desk alone took 2 hours. I am not exactly achieving this goal at warp speed. Guess not a biggie, it is my vacation after all, I have the rest of my life to clean this dump. Tonight I babysit. I look forward to watching Nikole on Thursday nights. Anita is going to be working for the ( Read more... )

This is my third day of vacation. Lets see...I cleaned out the fridge, and an working on the kitchen. No small feat! I am trying to take one room a day but so far I have spent 2 days on the kitchen. I am behind schedule again as usual. I am not going to worry about it, it is my vacation.

I have to pick Stevie up from work tonight late (10 ish...late for me!!). He is returning from Ecuador/Columbia where he has been for the last week recruiting international students for summer jobs. Justine will be 21 on Monday, since I have to make her car payment, pay for a dr. appointment for a physical for her new job and I have been buying ( Read more... )

Justine started a new job yesterday. She is a counselor for the after school program run by the YMCA. She works at Forest Park School, less than a mile from my house. She is already planning to move into an apartment.

I called Joe because I have not heard anything about the rescue squad incident. I guess that the rescue squad was not called, she just thought that she called them. HUH??? I don't get it either.

Raining here, sidewalks are just a sheet of ice. Joe and I went to get salt for the sidewalk and a pointed shovel to chop the ice away, that was easy to find. We also were looking for a snow shovel for his house since his lovely boys left the one he had laying flat in the yard and it is lost under the foot of snow we have. Went to six stores ( Read more... )

I was bummed yesterday when everyone at work got flowers and stuff from husbands and boyfriends for the hallmark holiday known as Valentine's Day. I babysat last night after work. When I finally got home, there was a big heart shaped box of candy and a very nice card on my bed waiting for me. Seems that Joe stopped by my house on his way home ( Read more... )

Will it ever quit snowing? There is a pile of snow about 6 feet high on either side of my driveway and suppose to snow another 6 inches or so tonight. I feel that all I do is run the snowblower. I am tired of worrying about if I can make it into my driveway when I get home from work. Then, I have to either remove the damn stuff at night when I ( Read more... )
