Please be patient. We will be back soon. We are moving…not URL’s, but our family is physically moving to a new address. We have to get everything unpacked and running again. It won’t be long….talk to you soon.

Kisses!

What does Black Friday mean to me? It means that my eyes see nothing but black until I open my eyes whenever the heck I feel like it. To tell you the truth, this is the first year I have ever even considered going out on BF. I saw a few toys that I wanted to get for my BFF’s dd and ds, and also a toy I wanted to get for my darling nephew. He turned one this month, and I love him, love him, love him. Point being, those three angels are the only reason I would even consider facing the mobs. Obviously, once I really thought about it, there is no reason to face those crazy mobs. Check this out. “Wal-Mart Worker Dies When Shoppers Break Down Doors” Seriously, I would rather pay full price.

I have never shopped on Black Friday and I’m not planning on it now. Six years ago I was very ill and could not move my body for months. I was put on intense treatment around Thanksgiving. Two weeks before Christmas, my family put me in a wheel chair and pushed me up to the computer so I could do a few clicks and actually pick out some gifts for my family. I have been doing it online ever since. Around this time of year, shipping at most places are free. That is a deal in itself. Plus, I know this sounds weird, but there are fewer choices online at a particular store. It helps me focus and not be so indecisive.

Shopping at Christmas time kinda creeps me out anyway. It becomes our focus, our obsession. Do we really even know what Christmas is all about anymore. When we give a gift to another person, are we thinking about how God gave us the Greatest Gift in Jesus Christ? Sometimes all this holiday blah, blah, blah, makes me sad. One year I was so irritated, we just packed up the kids on the 19th, flew to Miami, and went on a cruise until the 24th. It was AWESOME! Wow, that gave me back the happys.

What do you do to keep the real Christmas Spirit alive?

Kisses!

I’m sorry that I have been out of commission for a while, but we are currently “under construction.” My dh is working on making this site more user friendly and more functional for me. We will be up and running soon.

I have been quite sick for about a week. I am not sure what is going on, but I have officially decided that my family doctor is …. well, I am not happy with her at all. This morning I left on a business trip to Seven Springs, PA. Once a year our Mary Kay area has a conference at Seven Springs Ski Resort. It is awesome per usual. I left this morning at 6am so I could arrive by 11:30am for registration and lunch at the resort. Every 30 minutes I had to pull over. I AM SOOOOO SICK!! I felt even worse for my dear friend and her sweet daughter that were following me. They were so sweet about it all. Needless to say, I drove for about an hour and a half and then just waved them on as I again took the exit. It took me a while to get home, but I can say for sure, “There’s no place like home!!!” I am so glad to be here. I am going to put on some comfy pants and a snugly sweat shirt and chillax.

I’m quite content.

I just have to keep myself from thinking about the $168.00 I paid for the conference that I won’t get back, the doctor that I want to shoot for not giving me some kind of med to help this situation, and the hours I have to be in court at 9:15 on Monday……ugh!!!!

Content….content…no stress…breath….

Kisses! Proly not, sorry.

I know that most of my readers follow Jenny at momminitup, and I know you know how she gets her awesome freaky free deals at CVS (if you don’t know, then you gotta check out her Super Saving Saturday tomorrow.) Anyway, she helps me out with my couponing (because I am mentally lacking in that area.) The best part is that ALL of my toiletries, paper products, cleaning products, OTC meds, etc, are REALLY free, because I get $30 free gift cards for my prescription transfers on new prescriptions (one or both of which I always have. I try to get at least two free gift cards a month. Yesterday I went to a different CVS than usual with my script transfer from Walmart. When I got inside I realized that I did not have my insurance card and I didn’t want to look like an idiot if they asked for it, so I drove home to get it. The previous CVS was a bit far from my house (I was stopping in because I happened to be on that side on town for other things) so I drove to a different CVS. I took my empty bottle in and told them I wanted to transfer this script. Did they ask for an insurance card? No, of coarse they didn’t. They said that it would be about 15 minutes. This always means it will be thirty, so I went to my truck and spent 30 nice, quiet, alone, minutes doing my nails. When I got back into the store, the pharmacist said the she had called Walmart and the script had already been transferred but their computer would not tell them where. I happened to have the most recent bottle in my purse which I had not originally given them because the last time I got the script, they had not given me 60, they had given me 6 and I didn’t want them to make the same mistake again. When she saw the bottle, she said “Oh, I called the wrong Walmart, it will only take me about 15 minutes…..15minutes later, she called me up to the counter to tell me that even though I had 2 refills left, my script was expired. AGGHHHH!

Stupid or Cursed?

I need kisses!
