Hey Everyone Well.. It is about 1:30 and I have got all the random general housework that I generally have to do , done already and I am thinking about sitting here and seeing if I can churn out any reviews or at least do some "pre-writes" or something like that. It is SO tempting to take a nap for some reason, which is weird because I never take naps anymore because it is too loud around here in the day to do that anymore! I just kind of got out of the habit- which I am not saying is a bad thing but sometimes naps aren't a bad thing lol Dinner wise we are having salad with chicken, so that is easy peasy and I am glad of it .. I went to the store and got some random stuff for the week and I was going to get the stuff for lettuce wraps and would you believe they didn't have my crispy rice noodles? Or SALAD toppings. I was like well I guess I shouldn't be that shocked. Sometimes our walmart doesn't even have fries or even sams cat liter so.. go figure right? I didn't get a whole … [Read more...]
it sure is the weekend!
Hey Everyone So I am hanging out waiting to go over to my mom and dads here in a few minutes to drop off a sound bar, set up their fire tv and eat! We had to wait this parade out, especially since they were out and about here and there this morning so.. it has kinda ate the day up. It is o.k though- even though I haven't hit the ground running so to speak I have done a few pitches for a mesh wifi router which is something that we are really needing so at least I feel a little bit accomplished. I am hoping that when we come back I can maybe start cleaning out some stuff or write a review or something like that. I know I had started working on a review yesterday but I never finished it, and it should be an easy write. Right now I am kind of on a free for all when it comes to reviews - meaning it doesn't matter if I am writing them in the order recieved just as long as I write them :) We'll see if that narrows things down a bit for me! Like I say though as long as I work on them a … [Read more...]

it has been a good fall/winter so far
Hey Everyone Well.. I am trying to get up and going today :) I want to do some pre-writing on some reviews if I can but we'll see how that goes. I am not "nichole behind" anymore but I would LOVE to actually be ahead so .. here is hoping. I actually got out the macbook and was sitting here going to watch some Another World while I caught up on a few things but would you not just know I wasn't thinking and turned on the dishwasher and so now with it and all the construction noise it is about impossible to hear anything! Which our dishwasher is loud anyways, and the older AW's tend to be really low volumed so.. just isn't a good mix there! Hopefully the dishwasher will be done for the most part here in a bit so I can watch it :) I know that I am just about out of ideas for dinners and I know for years I have said I am going to sit down with magazines and cook books and figure out this crap at least on a 2 week menu plan and I never do but.. maybe if I say it enough I will do it. I … [Read more...]
well lookie there :)
hey everyone well I managed to write ANOTHER review today. now I know 2 for me in one day is not a big issue but for me.. where i have been so stinkin' lazy the last few weeks I will take it :) I wasn't really too far "nichole behind" = about 3 or 4 days there but now I might have a chance to get ahead or at least stay on schedule :) right now David is watching whatever that show he has been watching in the living room and I am sitting with marley close by and watching my "story' (another world. aw) It is so funny I make these random audio posts /video posts that never get published and I made one yesterday and I was totally dorking out about another world/my kayla character and some of the old times on the internet and it was awesome lol. I do tend to like my audio things more than the video ones.. I can't do video blogs on the big computer or audio ones because I don't have any way to use the mic on it because something is wrong with it. I don't know how to do audio only on … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide Review: Homedics Soundspa Slumber Scents #review #sponsored
So in the last review that I wrote I told you all all about my sleep ritual and how I love making going to bed an "event" that I really look forward to all day long ;) especially since I really don't nap that much anymore- and a nap just isn't the same as getting ready for a good burrow-y, relaxing sleep that night time can bring (well, when you are me that is sometimes not the case , but that is my mission at bed time :) ) I have been REALLY lucky lately to get some really awesome things to review that involve relaxation and going to bed including sheets and even a new mattress. The latest thing I got to review though might be my absolute favorite thing ever- thanks to the awesome folks over at HoMedics! I had been wanting a sound spa for quite a while. I had one years ago when they were first kind of popular ( I was probably in high school or early in college at the time) but it wasn't anything all that great. Since I have had issues with my night time sleep for more years … [Read more...]
