So I Grew up in the late 80's and early 90's and it was a darn great time to grow up in my opinion. I think things were simpler back then- We didn't have all this technology at our fingertips- which I admit would have been handy on some levels! I mean you had a report to do? You had to *gasp* use an encyclopeida or go to the library and find reference books- or even *more gasping* use a CARD CATALOG.  I bet I just named things that some people that will read this will be like is she even speaking English at this point. When I was in 4th grade myself and another girl got to check email for my teacher on DIAL UP internet at school.Dial up was so great. I can remember waiting for pictures to load all the way-We got it at home when I was in 9th grade I didn't have my own cell phone until I was a senior -though my mom had one for herself for a little while before I got one- and these were phones without any frills whatsoever- if you accidentally went on the mobile web you'd run up a bill … [Read more...]

  Check Out the MAIN GIFT GUIDE PAGE- where you can find SPONSORS & Links to ALL REVIEWS! Hey Everyone! I cannot believe that it is already time for Holiday Gift Guide 2018! I am pretty sure I started looking for items around this time last year, so I figured it would be a great time to get things going. I have taken a huge Hiatus from reviewing since last years gift guide- I had a really huge guide with a trip that was sponsored right in the middle of it! If you would like to see last years Gift Guide you can find it here: Autumn-Rain Holiday Gift Guide 2017. I do not plan for my guide to be nearly as big this year, and of course there won't be a sponsored trip right in the middle of it either so things should be less stressful  I am thinking of starting in Mid August /Early September. This is my main post that will have all the information, my early sponsors (they get extra love and shoutouts) and of course a form to pitch me! This post will be pinned for a while, … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well, I am on this new kick to try to help me sleep- that doesn't involve wine or whisky! My new thing? TEA. I bought two different ones last night- my old stand by sleepy time (extra!!) and a stress relief one. I started out with the sleepy time one and it has valerian root in it since it is the extra sleepy time and well.. can you be hungover on valerian root tea? Because I do believe I am lol.  I had to go ahead and make myself get up and I mean I was burrowy dreamy yum yum sleeping too! They are supposed to come in here to hook the rest of this internet stuff the apt. place is doing- they claim 5-10 min a apt. and someone from the apt place will be with them but I don't believe lol. Last time they were in an out for over 3 hours and whoever was supposed to be  with them from the office must have got bored because I never saw a soul other than the workers from charter- which as long as I am home doesn't bother me. I'll just hope to see them when they pull up and … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well... I got up and got ready before my mom even called to wake me up lol. I was kind of in and out of sleep any ways so..  We went to Christian Ministries & Habitat I got a few things at each- some lounge around the house clothes and CD's and then some Books. It wasn't a horrible day but it wasn't a really good one. I didn't find any purses *sniffle* Now I am sitting here trying to come up with meals for the next 2 weeks. I had originally thought that my mom was going to do the freezer meal plan since she was having the surgery and I mentioned it while ago and now she says she isn't sure if shes going to do it and i'm like oh good grief on a stick seriously? So I don't know what to do - wait to see if she does it or ?????  Food is SO my nemesis I swear! Tomorrow I will have to get up pretty early because surprise surprise they are supposed to come in here to do something else with the internet - allegedly it will not take more than 5 -10 min but I have my … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone well, i'm sitting here with about 45 min or so before David gets home. Dinner is done (I made Basil chicken - not a favorite of mine but oh well lol most things aren't favorites of mine this time of year) + I did eat some leftovers from my moms and a tomato today so i'm not really all that hungry. I really should go tanning and I have about 30 minutes to decide if I want to go or not lol. I was doing so good last week. I Kind of knew I wouldn't go yesterday or over the weekend though. My mom is having surgery on her hand NEXT tuesday. She just found out today so there are like a million and one things she has to do. I am trying to go with her to CM tomorrow (or thursday whichever one) because I know it will be the last time i get to go for several weeks. She has 5 of the 9 nerves in her hand compacted so.. ugh! I am also trying to get with her on some freezer meal planning so that I will be able to not have to worry about going to the store/making dinner for at … [Read more...]

Hey Everyone Well yesterday was busy , but it did seem a little draggy- though I did get up and get things in the house done, did a couple blog things and went to Publix to coupon with my mom. When I got back I already knew that a book that I wanted to read was coming out yesterday so I ended up reading it and falling asleep. I had the deepest sleep for some reason- especially for a nap. Then I had some really sketchy dreams so that sucked too. I got up and did a few more random things and then made dinner so it wasn't a horrible day , just busy! The weekend was... well... lets see. I know Saturday we spend the biggest part of the afternoon at the pool party. When we came back I took a nap (the heat was killing me) and then we watched a ton of tv that evening. Sunday we went over to my moms so she could bleach my hair and we could eat lunch. When we got back David ended up going into town to see his people (oy) and I stayed here and Marley Sam and Me just jammed some music and … [Read more...]
