I’ve been looking at new cars lately. Not necessarily new, but new to me, pretty new. I’m so ready for something a bit bigger and just different. I want something like small SUV. I personally would get a mini van, but the husband is like no way. One thing I know is that whatever we get will be totally customized with awesome accessories. Have you seen black wheels? They are super sleek and nice and I think they would look so nice on a black auto.

The reality is I’ll probably be waiting until tax time and chunking down my return on that down payment to make the monthly payment lower. Although with the deals I’ve been seeing lately I am not sure I will have to do that. It’s time to start checking into it and figure out what I want to do. I’m really thinking Equinox is the car for me!

Right now I’m sitting here watching Extreme Animal Hoarding and nursing a bad tooth. Gosh, this hurts so bad! I called the local dentist offices and of course I still have to go with my old dentist, it was the best bet. I get in Monday. That means I have the entire weekend to go with this tooth aching like this. Sucks the big one I’m tellin ya! Monday cannot come soon enough.

I figured what better way to pass the time than to watch up some Hoarding shows. They motivate me to clean out the clutter and get rid of it. Another goal of the weekend, getting ready for a long overdue garage sale next week! Fun times. I’m loving everything, except previously mentioned tooth pain, because it’s all fallish and wonderful out there.

I love my house in fall. I love baking, going to the orchard, taking photos, and just waking up and pretty much breathing. Fall is the best season for me. If it could stay the way it is right now almost all year long I’d be so happy. I’d take about a month of cold and snow from Christmas to my birthday and then about a month of swimming weather in the summer. Other than that, give me fall!

When I was younger I always wanted to be older. You know I always wanted to be able to do things like buy alcohol and lottery tickets and nobody could ever say to me that I was too young. The one thing I did not anticipate or look forward to was getting wrinkles. Wrinkles at 35! I’m considering trying orogold which I have heard works nicely. I always worry about putting anything on my skin.

I guess everyone has to go with what works for them. I always heard to never put soap on your face when I was young. Now, I hear that plain old soap is one of the best things you can do? Still, not sure that is right though. Soap leaves residue behind doesn’t it? I’m one step ahead of the game because I don’t tan and I limit my time in the sun without anything on. I burn really easy and I don’t want skin cancer in the future!

Ughh, the title says it all. I feel so broken right now. Just seems like nothing has gone right all week and I’ll be blunt it’s all because of my period. I’m moody and just ughh. More ughh. I know there are people who read this, and all one of you hopes that my life is in shambles. It’s not. I have like period based PMS or something. My hormones are wonky. That’s normal for any woman my age. Oh, and I backed into a dumpster and jacked my car up, the fuel line busted, and I forgot to pay my phone bill. I blame it all on period brain, not pregnancy brain, but period brain.

Despite all that things are still really good so suck on then when you are running your mouth about you crazy old lady.

My husband just got a CPAP machine today. I’m anxious to see what it’s like tonight sleeping. I mean I know he needs it, but it’s just really weird. Knowing he stops breathing at night? Talk about scary, and he did it like 160 times during his study. Although they gave him conflicting stories from the sleep study to the dr’s report and I just think that dual diagnosis treatment is in order. He may have something else going on other than Apnea.

Ughh, I’ve had my fill of dr’s this month. Ok, this last two months, since my surgery. By the way, surgery was piece of cake and I’m healing like a pro, but the dr. said take it easy for a month more and have a nice life! Awesome. Getting my blood work drawn every so often is another thing. Darn my thyroid. Darn it. The thing is, if I don’t get it drawn soon I’ll be screwed and won’t be able to get my refills. I’m pretty sure my thyroid needs adjusted again since I’m having symptoms of Hashimotos right now and have been for a while. I know it’s been faxed twice to the place our insurance wants us to use, so tomorrow if they do not have it I’m using another place, after I tell them how stupid they are of course.

I so need to invest in two things. A scanner or just new printer with scanning abilities, and a way to print photos easily. I have no clue what do look for in photo printers. Can I get that included in a scanner, copier, printer? Or do I need some little extra something to make them look good? All I know is I’m sick of the local mart killing my photos. They really did a number on them this time and charged me an arm and leg.

I’ve slacked in photo taking lately. Haven’t even picked the camera up since before school was out. We’re hitting the fair on Friday and I think that is prime opportunity to get some great photos. Then of course, fourth of July coming up!!!

Today was a very bad day. First, I did not feel like getting out of my car when I took Sydney to camp, but of course Sydney had a hissy and had me get out with her. It was sweating like pigs out there and she had the nerve to say can I go play now? Uh, yeah why did you need me to get out of the car? So then I came home, ate, and attempted to clean her room up. We fought about this, which he was like really rude to me and I was all watch me throw your crap away that is on the floor in piles if you scream NO at me again.

Then I saw a pirate at camp and I thought it was hilarious, plus sweet tea brightened my day. Then, I rammed my car into a dumpster and scratched the rear end. Got 300 calls about blood work from my dr and my subpar blood lab. I don’t remember what all else happened, but I cried a couple of times. I got a back ache from the bending over and cleaning and I mostly just want to complain.

I finished off the night painting my toes and fingers and drinking a huge tea with lemon from the Mexican restaurant. I feel better now.

This year I’m planning two trips. One very small, to visit family in KY and then hop on over to Gatlinburg and see the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Aquarium. I’ve been to the area, I’ve been to some of the Ripley’s attractions, but not this. I hear it’s awesome! We’ll take in some other shops, etc. and I’m looking forward to my mom going too. In April or whenever Spring Break is for the kidlet I’m planning on going to the Fort Meyers Beach area of Florida and visiting my niece and great nephew. Also, Disney!!!! SeaWorld!!!

One thing I’d like to do for next summer is rent an RV and take a trip out to the west coast. It’s been a dream of mine for a long, long time. I’d of course not be able to to drive at all and I guess a few good rv insurance quotes would be in order. Still, somehow I’ve always had this dream of piling my family into a RV and stop where I want to stop, visit diners along the way, and just chillax!

I’m not sure what the degrees were today. It felt like it was about 76. It was so nice, so pretty, and so breezy. Kevin worked outside all day today doing yard work and amazingly Sydney stayed out there with him. Can’t believe it myself. She usually stops after about 30 minutes of being out there with a big I’m hot, I’m tired, I hate spiders, etc. Nope, she played nicely all day long. She watered flowers!

Right now I’m chillin watching the new NYINK. Gotta love the Miami Ink spin off that has some of the oldies on it. It’s almost too cool with the air on sitting here watching this, Kevin’s all covered up in a blanket. I’m jonesing now for a new tattoo. I have several ideas, not all are symbolic of something, some are just fun. I’d love to get something done very soon.

Ok I’m not a hoarder, I am a couponer. My grandma is a hoarder. I have recently decided to go from somewhat couponing at CVS to extreme couponing anywhere I can. Some of the scores that I’m getting include cereal, shampoo, dental supplies, and body wash. I have to say that body wash and toothpaste are my favorite things to get. I’ve recently acquired like 20 cans of tomatoes. All will be used. I rarely get anything that I don’t or can’t use in some way.

I’m on a quest for cheap or free toilet paper. I don’t really have any luck getting that stuff on the cheap. I do however have several pads and mini’s to last me a while. That’s always nice. Oh and laundry stuff, hoarding the stain sticks is always fun!
