Singing along to the classic Grease tunes

Guest post written by Gloria Sherman

I remember when I was in high school my friends and I went and saw the movie Grease and I thought that it was the best thing that I had ever seen in my life! I guess that it was kind of surprising and ground breaking, at least it seemed that way to me. So I’ve always kept the movie dear to my heart as a result. So when I heard that our local community theater was going to put on a production of the play, I decided to take advantage of it.

I looked onlien to get some more information on the community production of the play and whiel I was doing that, I ran across some information on miracle ear texas. I looked through it a little bit and after that I decided to go and get a free hearing test and get fitted with some hearing aids after I got hte results back.

I took my daughter to go and see the play with me and I thin kthat she really loved it. She’d seen Grease before, but I don’t think that she fully appreciated it until now!

Words with friends

Jodi — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 02:35:25 +0000

So I have found myself being sucked back into playing games on facebook. This time its Words with Friends. I am starting to get obsessed with it like all of the other games I have played. I see lots of letters in my sleep: “kdalesabqurxt” and try to unscramble them to see what words I can come up with, and where I can fit them in on the boards. This is not what I want my sleep consisting of! I would much rather just have a peaceful nights sleep. Especially after the last two weeks of fitful sleeps I have had, due to the steroids the DR put me on from the allergic reaction I had.

With that said, I am off to go play a few rounds with friends, then it will be off to bed.

Things of the past

Jodi — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 11:46:55 +0000

We were talking last night at dinner, about things the kids liked when they were younger. Still unsure of how we got on this topic, but it was fun. Christopher mentioned how he liked yo-yo’s and how he always wanted to go to the yoyofactory to see how they made them. Trent pipes up and says, we can sent in a request to “How Its Made” to see if they will do a segment on yo-yo’s. Ya never know, as he did send in a request a while back to see how paddle locks were made, and they did grant that one.

So this got me into the search mode, so I went looking at things from my past on Pinterest of course! And the next thing I knew 3 hours had went on by. Such a time waster, but a fun way to pass the night away, while they watched football.

Gift idea for next Christmas

Jodi — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:33:03 +0000

So my father in law messed up a gift I wanted to make for him this year, but I am going to outsmart him and make him a set of golf club covers anyways, and will also include in the gift a golf garmin gps, as a joke kind of gift. Even though it will be an awesome gift, as when he and my hubby go out golfing, one if not both of them tend to lose a few golf balls that they never find.

Heck I may even get one for my hubby as well, for when he goes out with the boys. I will be on top of Christmas gifts this year!

Happy New Year!

Hope you all have the best year ever! Mine will be alot different as I have rejoined the working work, so I will have to find the time to fit all of my hobbies in.

I have 15 wash clothes to make before the 28th, so I know how I will be spending my downtime!

Looking for books

Jodi — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 01:53:26 +0000

I turned in all of my rewards, gift cards and Christmas money to Best Buy so I could get my Kindle Fire. I am having fun looking for all sorts of “free” items to install on it. I am just a little bummed that I can get and app for two of my favorite games, Phase 10 and Chuzzle that I play on iTouch. Its a good thing I plan on keeping that, as I need it for the gym.

I have lots of books downloaded to it, and have them arranged in order of how I want to read them. But they will have to wait, as I have a few “regular” books that I need to read first, one being the first in the series of the Hunger Games that my hubby got for me for Christmas.

I like that it has the wi fi connection, as I can connect while on break at work to surf for good deals and coupons like: wet seal coupons, as I am working on my grocery list. On my list to check out tomorrow will be to see where we could go to get a side of beef, or even a 1/4. I want to fill up our freezer with the better cuts of meat, all while finding the best deal out there! Saving money is my number one goal!

The sickies

Jodi — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 01:17:13 +0000

The sickies have re-invaded our house, only this time they have decided to make Trent its victim. He has missed the whole week of school, and has been down and out all week. Last night I started to get a little worried about dehydration, as he hasn’t ate anything all week, and what little he has drank has come right back up. I need to find a suede upholstery cleaning austin system to use to try and clean our furniture now.

Off to the doctor we went today. He was diagnosed with the flu, and if he couldn’t keep a certain amount of fluids down over the next two hours we were to do to the ER. Before we left the Doctors, he was given a shot of Phenegran to help with his nausea and vomiting.

Thankfully he has been able to keep everything down that I have given him so far. His cough has seem to gotten a little worse, but he refused to take the Nyquil as he doesn’t want to go to sleep right now. But sleep is what he needs. I hope we don’t have any relapses overnight as I don’t want to make a trip to the ER.

So now with all of the other busyiness I have going on this month, with my new job and getting everything ready for Christmas I need to try and clean the living room furniture. Now is when I am wishing I would have went with the scotch guard, but you live and learn right!?!

Running your own company

Running your own business is tough enough as it is but I had a rash of people quitting and leaving right off the bat. None of them were really my fault though because it was personal circumstance that couldn’t have been helped but it sure did put me in a pickle because I had no idea what I was doing. I had to figure out what I needed from www.smallbusiness.xo.com without any help and I had to set up my entire tax structure, too. It sure would be nice to have an accountant! But anyway, I feel better now about being able to run all the aspects of my business and I know that it’s good for me to at least know what is going on when I’m not around. I’ve been able to hire a couple of people part time which has really alleviated my stress and I’ve finally been able to take back my weekends and not be so stressed all the time. Who would have guessed I’d be doing this?

Happy Thanksgiving

I am taking a few days off from blogging to enjoy the long weekend with my family! Hope you all enjoy your turkey day!!

Research

Jodi — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 00:13:34 +0000

I have been scouring the internet for free patterns for different knitting projects I have on the “to do” list. Along with this research I looked up eyelash growth reviews, as my eyelashes aren’t growing back. I grabbed the wrong kind of mascara that was waterproof, and this has caused me lots of problems. I was joking around with my friend in Ohio about me having to make a trip down there so she can hook me up with some of the eyelashes that her hair shop is now doing. She had hers done and they look amazing! But that would be one expensive trip, what with the gas, and then the bill I would rack up at the salon! John wouldn’t be a big fan of this!
