Hi! Well the weekend came, and even though I didn't get one thing done online, I didn't do anything offline either! I only briefly left the house one time and that was on saturday to go with David to pick up some lunch that we brought home and ate! It was so dreary out there just wasn't any inspiration to get anything done if you know what I mean? Friday David had to go to best buy to figure out what the hold up with our google box/blue ray thingy was. It had been gone over 3 weeks and was past due on coming back, and we were not getting any updates or info even when we called about it. Turns out they CLAIM it had lightening damage and I was like Um... doubtful .... The only reason we sent it back was because the BLUE RAY part quit working. We simply couldn't play any discs, everything else on it worked fine. Anyways, they tell david to pick out another player. Guess what they don't make anymore? anything that would be equivalent to this box we had that I personally spent a … [Read more...]
what were my plans again?
Hi Everyone! Today has turned into one of those days where I had stuff planned out to get done, but because some other stuff happened now I am totally threw off lol. I can't even remember what the heck I had planned to tell the truth lol. I blame that on this weird little cold and my female friend trying to visit! always a package those 2 things this time of year! I can't catch a break! I am trying to step it up a notch and drink a ton of coffee and not nap, which is always fun! Marley is laying in her little bed up here on the couch and I have the windows open downstairs for sam and he is in one of them. I am also planning to see how well Marley can do with being in sams room while I work starting soon, because I do get so much more done when I work up there instead of on the couch with the tv on! I have gotten out of that habit, and it isn't a good thing at all! Yesterday David had called me and said he had to work late and didn't know when he would be off...I was … [Read more...]
Campus Book Rentals: Have I mentioned I miss my college days?(lately?)
I know in the last few months I have wrote a couple of posts about how I miss my college days, and it is SO very true! I think I must be getting to be OLD and missing my youth or something lol. I don't know I am about to turn 30 and when I think about how it was January 2005 that means it is getting closer and closer to being 10 years since I was actually IN COLLEGE. Well, O.k.That isn't the truth, I did go to community college (again) when I came home, but to me the full college experience was when I was AWAY at school! I was always excited that while I was going to appalachian they actually include a rental fee for the MAJORITY of the books that you are required to have for you classes. I mean if it was a core book, not something supplemental. You paid about 40 bucks flat for whatever amount of classes you took! It was kind of nice! One thing that I wish I would have known about for the 2 years I went to community college before though, was RENTING text books in general! It … [Read more...]
fighting off a funk!
Hi There Everyone! I am currently fighting off some sort of funky cold, that is why most people haven't heard from me very much the last couple of days. At first I couldn't decide if it was a cold or if I was just really tired from the weekend, but now I am almost positive it is some sort of cold BLAH which means female time probably is not that far off. If I have a cold I always have the other ...it is like a package deal.. I am currently trying to get some laundry washed, sorted and put away and wash some dishes. We are going to be running to target tonight, and with me not feeling well I am not looking forward to it, but to top it all off it is turning cold and the weather is supposed to start getting a bit sketchy. We are going to target that is closer up to the mountains so it will be getting colder and more sketchy with the weather. I really wish david would have decided we could have done this on the weekend!By the time we get there and get back it will be time for my … [Read more...]
My New favorite way to cook Hamburger meat!
*waves* So a couple of weeks back I learned that you can make hamburger meat in the crockpot without having to brown it first! (Thanks Jenn!) I Always thought it was totally pointless to stand and brown something when you are going to turn around and cook it all over again for several hours, and I cook other meats in my crockpot without cooking them first! Turns out if you are using a high quality beef it really isn't necessary! It is mostly pre cooked when you want to drain off the grease and such you might get with lower quality hamburger! Most of my hamburger comes directly from a processing place..as in my parents usually buy half of a cow every fall and have it done up. They don't put any additives and all that in, so it is pretty natural that way. Anyways I only eat Chicken and Beef when it comes to meat. I hate fish, I don't do pork and I simply don't like turkey. The thing is though...I HATE cooking hamburger. I mean DETEST. Why? I hate the smell! I do not know why but … [Read more...]
Crazy Furr Babes, and random updates.
Hey There! I am currently trying to keep the fur babes from being too crazy! They were really good yesterday but today it seems like they just want to be ughhhh lol. I guess it might be because I am into trying to get some pitches and emails done and I just don't have time to be worrying about growling and hissing. I am caught up on a lot of things online but OMG my h0use can use some work in the mean time! I guess I better enjoy the lull before all my holiday gift guide stuff gets in and I can't ever leave the computer lol. I am honestly just trying to pick a place to start. Our pantry and my closet are the 2 worst places I suppose...If i ever get all the money that I am currently owed I am taking a major stock up trip to the grocery store. We have plenty of meat for the most part. We just need some snacks and canned food/veggies and such. As far as my closet that is a nightmare I have been talking about for months, and It just doesn't have a lot of hope of getting done … [Read more...]
