So, HW called me today. He spent $175 on a pair of boots. Knowing the rigures of Army life, I understand the need for good footwear. A little pricey but we can deal with it.... But OHhhhhh no. We were not charged once for the boots. We were charged 3 freaking times! I am so sick of calling the bank. First my purse was stolen. Then our

My best cleaning tip is following the flylady routines I'll have to add a big thumbs up to that one! I love Flylady. Also, I have a cleaning lady come in every once in a while to help me REALLY scrub the place down. But I realized that cleaning the toilet every morning takes 30 sec....and then I never need to scrub. So my cleaning tip: Any job, not matter how poorly, is better than nothing!

This morning, my darling daughter asked for pancakes. My son (strangely enough) prefers bran flakes, so as she was waiting for the pancakes to cook, he was already pouring a bowl of cereal. She decided (after I started cooking) that she wanted bran flakes and instant gratification. I informed her that she asked for pancakes and so she was getting pancakes....not br

My MIL, henseforth known as "momma charlie" is one of the most talented women I know. I could heap praise on her for many things, but I want to point out how freaking awesome she is in regards to quilting and sewing. She taught me the basics, but wholey wow, she is good. I'm so impressed with her ability to pull out seemingly mismatched fabrics and create w

Or it was a fishing expidition, where they set it up for a ghost party to see if it was caught,before hitting the account for a lot more actually, they looked back and we checked past charges. Two other things popped up. One that I had missed and one that never actually posted. Sigh. At least I chec

So less than a month after my purse was swiped....a charge appeared on my bank account for almost $300. The bank assured me that it was not related to the recent theft of my purse. I had changed all my cards and put a fraud alert on my credit cards. I shred all my bank information as well. According to them, I did everything that I needed to to protect mys

I remember this stuff.....haven't thought about it for a while but this kind of stuff just gets stuck back in the shadows of your mind.

I read it fast so I wouldn't get hit with a spoiler. I did hear though that the media is "supposed" to be focusing on NOT leaking spoilers for at least 72 hours? Anyway, good luck! I liked it, but I went online after to see what other people thought....and there are lots of people picking it apart line by line. I think you will be okay as long as you avoid sites with names like harrypotterspoilers or Imgoingtoleaktheending in them!</font

I'm done... what do you want to talk about? nothing. (grump) I dont' want to leave spoilers for anyone else....sigh. I liked it but I dont' know. Now that it's done....hmmmm. kind of a letdown. Not because the ending was bad (although the epilouge did just cram it all in there while leaving big qu

Congratulations on your progress. I see it all the time...the gym is packed in Jan and Feb, but by March a lot of the newcomers are sporadically coming at best...by now only those who are really motivated are still sticking with it. Keep up the good work! My goal was to get more organized. I won't say I'm 100% there, I have my peeks and valleys too, but I think overall, I"m doing much better!

Hyperborean Wanderer, while willing to eat chicken head soup, will not touch a bean or legume of any kind. He loves mexican food, but refuses to eat refried beans, chili is just a bowl of tomatoes, meat and seasoning, and stir fry is lacking in snap peas. Until now. Since he is gone, I have been exposing our kids to peas and beans of every kind, in

Speaking of balancing things, how on EARTH do you take a Philosophy class on top of being the sole guardian of your children, taking wedding photos, going to the gym, giving massages, renovating the house single-handedly, and all the other things you do...? Simple. I only do one thing at a time....sort

I should note...the other class was a 94%.... But the thing that gets me REALLY irritated. The syllabus clearly stated that the 13th was the last day of class. So I worked hard to get done in time.The instructor just sent an email reminding us that all work must be in by the 20th... Jerk.
