Up 10.

I stepped on the scale when we returned yesterday and was shocked that I'm up 10 pounds. I shouldn't be shocked because I ATE SO MUCH. But I am! It's always so easy to gain and so hard to lose.

At some point I might consider taking fat burners for women. Shawna was on fat burners a few years ago and they really helped her lose some unwanted weight. Not to mention, it went pretty fast and didn't take too long!

Glee!

Can I admit that I love Glee? It's a pretty good show and we are backed up on a few episodes. Tonight's our television catch up. We had netflix and of course I had a DVD that we had already watched.

I think I might have to run out to the grocery store after this to pick up milk. Why can't we have a maid, lawn boy, maintenance person, and personal shopper on staff around here?!?!

Stop it already!

I can't believe that I'm 35 years old and have acne! What's up with that? It typically acts up when it's that time of the month. I've thought about going to the doctor and getting some acne treatments but I figure it's really not that big of a deal to have the occassional zit.

I am sure it is just a matter of time before the girls start getting zits and I have to buy them Oxy pads and cream!

Too much work.

This morning I went into work EARLY. I thought about actually staying late today but I'm whipped and figure I just need to go to bed early tonight and head back to work early tomorrow morning.

It's a good thing that Shawna's had a slow work week because things at my work are C-R-A-Z-Y!

Interesting...

When Shawna was working in healthcare I was always interested in the different items they had around the assisted living place. They actually had point of care carts.

Whoever invented the idea is a genius.

I miss the days of going and hanging out with the old people. The interesting thing is that I could probably go tomorrow and there would be a whole new group of older people that would act very similiar to the old folks that lived there five years ago!

Everybody's doing it.

One thing that never loses it’s value is us silver coins! Even when our stocks are floundering you can always look to gold coins and precious metals to maintain their value. I really love the new American Gold Eagle Coins that are out.

US Gold Bureau offers silver, gold, and other precious metals for delivery or they will make arrangements to have your metals stored privately and securely at a bank or depository.

I didn’t realize this but United States Gold Bureau is an industry leader. They sell gold in two forms: coin or ingot. The world demand now exceeds the supply demand for gold - which makes it a pretty smart investment. That's why it's a great idea to buy gold coins!

Especially with the economy doing so poorly and people losing all of their investments with the stock market!

We're OUTTA here!

Right now I'm trying to finish up some work because tomorrow is going to come FAST. I have my sleeping consult to go over my results and hopefully they'll give me the infamous machine to help me breath at night! Then we're going to go to Graem's thing at school and off we go!

Here's hoping that we survive a 10 hour drive with these two children!

Speakers!

Years ago we purchased some sweet speakers for computer. It made all of the difference in the world and it turned the computer into a surround home theatre too!

I was shocked to hear that most computers these days come with great speakers! In fact, our friend purchased a new HP and it came complete with these awesome speakers and even a bass box!

Too much.

I put in a pretty decent week of work. But I still have more to do. I plan on going in a few hours Sunday. I hate having to break up my weekend because typically Sunday comes around and it sucks Sunday night when the weekend has flown by.

At least we'll be heading out Tuesday and have a good five days or so ... away from everything!

Old.

I'm getting old. I admit it. I'm 35. I think I might start looking at covering up my gray hairs because it's just too much to try and pluck them every day. I might want to also look into the best wrinkle cream!

My friend started using it around her eyes and it was amazing how it helped with the eye wrinkles and even some of the little wrinkles around her chin.

I need some! PRONTO.

Help?!

Mama needs some help!

Just a few weeks ago I noticed that 2 of my 10 stocks weren't doing so hot. In fact I almost died when I realized that I lost $2,000 in one day of a very bad stock market.

Now I'm looking to diversify my portfolio and invest in things that are more solid and have a positive history.

Gold bullion has always been a strong metal. In fact, I think it's time to buy gold bullion when I get my retirement match from work.

US Gold Bureau is one of the biggest and most trusted distributors of the precious metal. They have been around for years and have a great reputation in the field of precious metals.

This is just the thing I was looking for.

God knows, I can't take too many more of those days where I lose $2,000!

So much for the hoidays!

The holidays are harsh for me! In fact, the last time I hung out with my relatives I gained 8 pounds. Since we're going to North Carolina next week there's no doubt that I'll gain even more weight!

I might look into quick weight loss pills because I need a few weeks to get down to my base weight before Christmas hits and I am surrounded with delicious food and treats!!

TV night!

Tonight we're hanging out watching and watching television. We have tons of laundry that we're trying to get done and Shawna's blogging. I'm getting ready for my out of town meeting tomorrow.

Where is Friday?

Too much work.

This week I did so many hours. I'm exhausted and tomorrow I have another out of town meeting. I keep telling myself that I just have to get through this week and then I'm home free next week!

Then it's off to North Carolina! It's going to be so much fun to spend time with family and eat the good food!

Let the games begin!

So we've already purchased the appliances for the kitchen. They're sitting in the garage! We are moving to the dining room next. We're painting and changing the fixture.

Then we plan on renting the house out for Cornell and Ithaca graduations. WIth the money we get we're going to be able to do the kitchen!

I've been looking at undermount sinks and I can't believe how expensive they are!

I went to mrdirectint.com and found the perfect sink for around $100! The same undermount sink that I saw at a local vendor was over $400!!!

YAY FRIDAY.

Tonight we're doing spaghetti and meatballs and having a campout on the floor. I think we're going to start up a fire and do the tent and sleeping bags in the living room.

I think it's going to be fun and Shawna can sleep on the couch!

Friggin' kitkats.

Are dangerous when you have a big ass leftover Halloween stash.

I ate over 4 of them and I now think I'm going to barf.

Me *heart* gold!

That's all I hear about these days. On the radio, on television.

Just a few weeks ago I noticed that 2 of my 10 stocks weren't doing so hot. In fact I almost died when I realized that I lost $2,000 in one day of a very bad stock market.

Work.

I have tons of work to do and right now I'm just not motivated to do any of it. It seems like the weekends go by too quickly and most Mondays I sit at my deck and feel like I didn't achieve anything!

That's why I feel like if i clean the gutters out and hang a door I will have been productive.

Trees.

So I wanted to chop down a few of our trees because they keep driving leaves and pine needles into our gutters. BUT...they wanted $1,600 to cut down the trees. Seriously?

I wish I were a little less scared of the chainsaw and could just do it myself. Three of the trees are pretty small and far enough from the house that if I messed up nothing tragic would happen.

The big daddy is located pretty close to the house - that's the one they wanted $900 to take down!
