What was the last thing you purchased from a vending machine? I bought some baked Lays I do believe at the YMCA one night in between the girls gymnastic and swimming classes.

What was the last thing you made copies of on a photocopier? I made copies of a recipe for some friends

When did you last use a pay telephone? Oh gosh I don’t know, I’ve had a cell phone for 9 year now.

How often do you visit an automatic teller machine? It’s my prefered banking method but I still only go about once a month

Which of your daily tasks would you most like to see automated? Cleaning the house for sure!!!!!!!

A few weeks ago my friend was here with her little girl. I noticed that she was wearing a bracelet and I thought it was so cute on her. Little did I know that it was actually a medical id bracelet. She has to wear it because she has GERD and Asthma pretty bad.  Of course here I was wanting to know where to get Allie one and little did I know that it’s not just for looks.  I felt really stupid afterwards… but hey that’s nothing new for me.  Just ask my friends.  I’m sure there are a few reading this right now laughing with me (not at me ladies) LOL.

I am so sick of my desktop losing connection every time that I use it. The wireless signal up there is so stinking weak. At one point we thought about hard wiring it with CAT5e and just gotten rid of the problem then. Now I can’t even send stuff to my printer up there. Oh the joys of not having an office.

So we did really really good at our sale this past weekend. We were even able to sell our trailer in about 24 hours. I am looking forward to being able to go and look at new ones. It’s going to be fun and we are going to do it sans kids!!! However I’m not going to lie it would be so tempting to really get away minus the kids and check into one of North Padre Island rentals. Wouldn’t that be just the perfect dream vacation and get away from the kids. Oh to dream

However we are going to get out and start scouring for the perfect of perfect to us trailer this coming week.  I can’t wait to see what we find as I’m really open to options and my heart is not sold on anything in particular. Hopefully we’ll have a new one in time for our camping trip that is coming up in mid July.

We are thinking about selling our trailer and getting a new one.  We aren’t sure what we want to get though.  Right now we are looking at a 27′ Starcraft but then we need to think about where it’s going to go during the winter.  I’ve been doing some looking around into Winter Park real estate places that are willing to store your camper for a fee.  We have no clue where this is leading so it should be interesting to see.  I will keep you all up dated.

What’s too spicy for your tastes? More than a small/mild amout of hot peppers in things

What’s too sweet for your tastes? Buttercream icing on a cake {yuck}

What’s too salty for your tastes? Those pretzels at the mall I always brush the salt off

What’s too bitter for your tastes? Not ripe enough Strawberries

What’s too sour for your tastes? A straight lemon… I do not care for them in my water either

On top of all of the crazy stuff we have been doing in prep for the garage sale we have also been trying to fit in our local festival’s activities.  Last night was the family fun night.  When we got there my friend’s girls were riding the police horses.  I asked my girls if they would like to and they both had a firm no.  Which makes me wonder if they have the same kind of fear that I do.

I for some reason freak out every time I get on a horse.  I love to pet them and be near them but the minute that I get on one I get totally freaked out.  I know someone who lost her ability to smell or taste in a horse accident.  I’ve also always gotten the horse that thinks they are in charge and like to try and prove it to other horses while I’m riding them.  When I was in 10 grade we were in Kentucky and my horse almost bit me too because of my sweet smelling body wash.  Lastly those darn saddles hurt your bottom like nothing else can.

So we shall see what develops with the girls.  I’d hate for them to be scared.  I am more than willing to walk along side of them to help them along but not sure momma wants to get on that horse. 

My poor SIL at 3 days past her due date today.  Little guy it’s time to come out and meet your momma and daddy. 

Have you ever thought about how you would make it through life if you lost your spouse?   I know that the absolute hardest part would be the emotional part for me.  I don’t ever like to think about that. I know I’ve thought about the fact that I have no finished degree and I am a SAHM and that scares me.  It would be very hard to provide for my family. Thankfully I know to start off that Joel had gotten some term life insurance on himself that would carry us for a while. 

Now don’t think I think about this all that often… I’ve heard a neighbor talk about it recently and it’s always those converstations that really make you think.

I know today is a blogging day LOL.   I have been doing some weight loss research on the internet alot lately and one thing I keep coming across are OTC meds to help you “move” things along.  I ran across one kind and I really don’t know much about it: Phentermine no prescription .  Apparently it seems to be the miracle drug… I think before I go out and buy an OTC drug for this after my horrible experience over 5 years ago with Dexatrim I’m going to ask around more and do more research.
