A Father's Day Gift That I Was Unable to Deliver Before Now

Anyone who actually knows me, knows I bite my nails.
Well, actually I used to bite my nails.
One of the earliest memories I have of my Daddy is him
telling me to stop biting my nails.
As I grew older that line changed to "Stop biting your
Damn nails."
Even after I had kids of my own.
One of the last conversations I had with him before he died
he told me again to stop biting my damn nails.
Believe it or not I miss hearing it!
In honor of Father's Day even if it is 4 1/2 years too late,
here is picture proof that I have indeed finally quit biting my
damn nails.

Daddy, I love you and I miss you. 

Happy Father's Day.

Blog block

Why is it I have really great ideas for my blog, until I actually sit down to blog? Several times a day I think about something, and then immediately it is followed by "I should blog about that." Then I sit down to do that very thing, and can't think of a single thing to say on the blog. It never fails. I do have a couple of ideas for posts. However, they have to wait until I feel like finding everything I need to go with them.

Life here is great. I think if he's off this weekend we're going to take Munchkin to play at the beach. There is no sense in being less than 10 miles from the water if you're not going to take advantage. Chase is definitely my kid. He loves to look at the waves.

I am enjoying being on the Gulf Coast in Texas. We are only an hour from Houston, and less than that from Galveston. On our trip down here from Louisiana my awesome husband took me on my very first ferry ride. Chase and I both thought that was amazing. Especially since we got to see dolphins in the process.

Since it looks like we might be here for a bit we are thinking of taking Chase to a Houston Astros game one of these days. I think that would be awesome. If I have ever been to a major league baseball game before I don't remember it. I know it would have been the Pittsburgh Pirates though (thanks Daddy)!

Senseless Tragedy!

My heart is broken right now. My thoughts and prayers are with the families involved in this senseless tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut.
I am completely floored that someone could open fire on a bunch of children.
A bunch of very small children.
My baby just turned 5 on Tuesday, these kids were in that age group.
While I will pray for the shooters family, I honest hope the shooter rots in hell.
20+ families sent their children to school this morning, expecting them to have a good day at school today. Those families are now being told their child will never be coming home again. I can't even begin to imagine how those families feel.
I am with the rest of the country awaiting answers...
I will update more later......

Sometimes Life Is Funny

http://tv.yahoo.com/news/ashton-kutcher-tops-our-list-of-the-highest-paid-tv-actors.html


Charlie Sheen has been replaced as the number one paid actor, by none other than Ashton Kutcher. The very same person who replaced him on sitcom "Two and A Half Men".


Personally I am a Charlie Sheen fan. I have not watched "Two and A Half Men" since Kutcher has been a part of the cast. However, I will go out of my way to catch one of the reruns with Sheen in it.

Lack of Parenting.

    What in the world is up with some parents these days?? Between going to the store, watching TV, or just reading the news on "Yahoo" I can't help but notice that some people should have a license to even think about having kids.
    So my questions for today are,
  1) Do pre-teen kids really need tattoos? No
  2) Should a person be able to give their own child a tattoo? Again No
  3) Why are there 8-9 year old girls at Wal-Mart with no shoes on??
And don't even get me started about "Honey BooBoo".

Sore Throat Remedy

I have coughed so much that now not only do I have a nasty headache, but I have a sore throat as well.Tonight I have found a solution that works for me. Coffee/Hot chocolate/ Sprinkle of Coffeemate creamer. It's not quite as painful now to swallow, and the caffeine is working on my headache. Promise to update more later, going to enjoy my drink!

Finally Feeling at Home

Well this past Saturday we technically said good-bye to hotel living. I say technically because even though we are now in a 2 bedroom apartment, the building we are living in is named The Kirk Hotel. They do offer nightly rates, however, they are looking for more long term guests.
We love this place. The staff is all super friendly. They serve a hot breakfast 5 days a week, getting ready to try Saturdays as well. This is the most pet and kid friendly place I think we have ever been. Chase loves being able to spend time with all of the dogs. He also loves getting to watch cartoons on the big screen TV downstairs.
The downside?? It's a walk up. No elevator. Why do I say this is a downside, because it has shown me just how out of shape I really am. Going up and down the stairs several times a day has a way of pointing that out. So now I'm working on losing a few pounds and getting into better shape.

I am so glad we decided to do this. I have always loved this building, and now I am in my favorite apartment in the building. I can't wait for the first good snowfall so I can just sit in the living room and watch it come down. Plus we have one hell of a view of the mountains.

Glade(TM)

As all of my 12 (YAY! Hi new follower) readers know, I am a BzzAgent, what this means is I occasionally get picked to receive samples, coupons, etc to try out, and then give my opinion on (And we all know I have an opinion about everything. LOL).
This BzzCampaign is one of the best I have laid eyes on lately. They are giving me a Glade Fragrance Mist, AND, not or AND an oil diffuser. They also gave me a ton of big money saving coupons, the products are for me, however, the remaining coupons are up for grabs. I have several of each item left, Just drop me a line. Right now these products are available in 4 difference fragrance combinations. My choice in scents was Cotton and Italian Mandarin. I guess next trip to the store I'll have to buy a different one, not because I don't
like this one. But because I can't wait to smell the others in action.










Disclaimer: I am a BzzAgent, I was given these coupons as a Thank You for trying out the product.

UNREAL(TM) Candy

Trying Unreal(TM) candy was a nice experience. It's nice to know that people are making candy, without all of the not so great for us stuff in it. Also, as a plus my son likes it. To me that is definitely something to talk about in my book.
