Touch Me...

I was at the mall tonight buying clothes for my 12 yr old's upcoming camping trip and we decided to venture outside of Target and into the actual mall. Have you ever seen those Massage Chairs they have sitting in the middle of the mall aisles? Well, have you ever sat in one? Oh. My. Gosh!

You have no idea what you are missing. Maybe I'm just overworked and completely stressed out but this was like heaven! Especially on my poor aching legs and back. I think this will be at the top of my wish list for next year's Christmas gift. I might even be willing to trade in my husband for one of these chairs. Just kidding love.. I know you're reading this.




Brrr Baby It's Cold Outside

And it's just as cold in my house! I have got to get the apartment people out here to take a look at my water heater. Our heat hasn't been working properly and the hot water in the shower upstairs is lukewarm at best! Downstairs in the kitchen, laundry, etc it's fine.. just upstairs that it doesn't reach.

I was reading about these tankless water heaters and I think they sound really cool! Why doesn't our complex get these installed? From the sounds of it, it would save everyone some money in the long run. Save money? What?? No way!

I'd also like some hot chocolate to soothe my poor swollen tongue.. and warm my body. I could get up and make some coffee, but I really don't want any coffee nor do I really want to get up. Oh well, I am going shopping with my 12 yr old tonight, I'll get some hot chocolate at Starbucks later on.

Have a great weekend all!




Update on Me

Some of you may or may not have noticed, that I have been a little missing in action the last few days. On Wednesday, I had a seizure. I'd like to thank everyone who was concerned about me and sent their well wishes.


I am ok.. my tongue hurts from me chomping down on it and it's been a little hard to talk, eat, drink, swallow etc. My legs are incredibly sore, kind of like how you feel after you've just worked out for the first time in a long time....only without the exercise equipment.


My mom came home from work to take care of the boys while I slept until Dan could get home from work. Yesterday was my first day back online, my brain is not 100% quite yet. I am feeling a little disoriented when I try to type. You might catch me making some typo's.. no more than usual I suppose.


I guess I shouldn't be surprised... I have been working awfully hard the last few weeks. Long hours in front of the computer and getting to bed too late. I was pretty much a ticking time bomb. So, I am making myself a new promise and making it public. I WILL be offline by 10 pm and I WILL be in bed no later than 11 pm. And last night.. I was!


Only 4 more days peeps, Stay Tuned!!

Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew

Has anyone seen this show? I had heard about it but never seen it... until the other night. I was flipping channels trying to find something to watch and I saw this was on. Now, I didn't even know that Dr. Drew was on this so I flipped it on. I've loved Dr. Drew ever since MTV aired Loveline, and I still listen to it onthe radio.

Oh. My. Gosh, it was incredibly sad. I could barely watch 5 minutes before I shut it off.

A brief synopsis from the VH1 website:

"Celebrity Rehab is the first television series to chronicle the dramatic, unscripted real life experiences of a group of actual celebrities as they make the life-changing decision to enter themselves into a drug, alcohol and addiction treatment program with the sincere desire to achieve true rehabilitation and recovery."

Cast included celebs like Jeff Conaway (Taxi), Daniel Baldwin, and Brigette Nielsen.

End of another day....

Today actually went by rather quickly.. Dan had to work today and the kids were off from school so I expected it to be a very long and very loud day. However, that was not entirely the case!

The morning was a little rough, it was raining and the kids had to all stay in the house. The big ones were fighting, the little ones were fighting, then the big ones started fighting with the little ones.. oh it was the picture of a perfect day! My mom came over and we took the little ones to the grocery store while the big ones stayed home and did their chores without little ones around to undo their work.

We stopped at my brother's to drop something off and visit with the girls for a little bit. Then we hit the store. We came back home unloaded everything and I started dinner and cleaned up a bit before Dan got home. My sister in law and I decided to (actually, it was my idea and I wasn't letting her say no) go out for a little one on one girls night. We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. We had a nice time, talked, ate, had dessert and I think we are both a little bit happier.

I got home around 8 and I started making a little something new for my PPF store next week. I haven't had much computer time today at all.. I was on for a brief bit earlier this afternoon and just as I was getting off my popup blocker went a little wonky so I shut down and now that I'm back home and rebooted it seems to be working fine!

Oh and that little secret, I told y'all about a few weeks ago? Well.. start counting down the days, all will be revealed on Monday, Jan. 28th!!
