Thin Bagels

I love these. I found them at Walmart. They make good sandwiches. I brought them home and did not buy cream cheese because I had just bought some. Went into the refrigerator and no cream cheese. I asked my youngest and he said he just finished it. OMG. Really. So I made sandwiches with them instead. If he hadn't eaten all the cream cheese I never would have tried making a sandwich with them . Very tasty.

Sharp Blades

So I wrote a week ago about receiving a ninja. They have very sharp blades. I cut my right index finger very badly near the first bend. A band aid was not working. While wearing a band aid I had a hard time doing just about everything. My work mate suggested liquid band aid. I found some New Skin at Safeway. It works great. I can shuffle through papers with the best of them. I don't know why I didn't think of this myself my mother has used this before. It smells rather intoxicating when you first put it on. It does sting. But after that you are sealed in tight.

Cell Phones

Tired of the service I had. Every time I need something I get pushed around. We were stuck in a contract with our previous cell phone company. My youngest is very hard on phones and we had no more insurance claims on his line. He broke his phone and it was not working. I called our local cell phone company and they said I'm sorry mam the only thing we can do for you is help you select a new phone that you can buy. So if I buy a new phone will I then be able to insure it. No mam that line has used its limit for this time period. How silly is that. On Friday my youngest took my phone to go get water. He comes back in with a very sad look on his face. He hands me my cell phone and said it dropped and broke. Are you kidding. I told him to be careful. The screen was shattered and sharp. Every time I did anything I cut my fingers. Nope not gonna happen. So I have ins claims available, but I would need to pay $100 and then wait. So unhappy. So we went to T Mobile. They buy out contracts. We get two new phones and no contract. We both now have 4 G our reception is great. My bill is almost a half or what the other company was. I even get cell coverage in the lead room I work in. This was a very rash decision. The man that helped us was a trainee. He took a long time to do everything. I was 5 min late for work, I am never late.

They grow up so fast

This is the rabbit my youngest saved from our last harvest
This is how she looked on Friday when we placed her in the birthing cage
So Friday my youngest son helped feed the Rabbits. He comes out of one pen and says one of those rabbits is going to have babies. I asked him why he thought that. He said their is fur all over the pen. So I go and look and guess what I found.
Seven wiggly squeaky babies. She had gotten over into the males pen and of coarse we knew it was going to happen. So my youngest son and I gathered all the little babies up and placed them in the birthing cage. We like to put the mammas in the birthing cage before they give birth. Her timing was way off. In fact I had just thought maybe we got away with no babies. Summer babies are so hard. It is too too hot. They almost never make it. No such luck.

AZ without AC

So this weekend my vehicle, a 1992 Bronco, stopped blowing cold air. So Driving the truck home on Sunday was miserable. Hot and nasty. So my husband and youngest son take it into the shop and start tearing into it. Mice. Stupid mice. They made a nest inside the AC blower. My husband said he was surprised it even blew at all. They cleaned it out and charged it and low and behold it is so cold. It was around 9:30 when they finished. We went to McDonald's to get ice cream and I was so cold my teeth were chattering. They had charged it about a month ago. I was super cold then too. Like I said stupid mice.

Gilmore Girls

I am watching the Gilmore Girls from the Pilot. I just love their small town antics. I am currently on season 4. They produced 7 seasons. It is set up kind of like a soap opera. I never could steadily watch them on t.v because of my schedule. If I missed one I was totally lost. I borrow them from the library and on certain days I just watch and watch. My husband doesn't care for them very much. Occasionally you can catch my youngest son watching them with me. I can't wait to watch them all.

Time to let them go

It is time to sell our little goats. They are finally old enough to let go. I will place an add on Craigslist and see how it goes. This has worked for us in the past. It is just so hot I don't want to go outside long enough to get pictures. That would be great if they would sit still and pose. I have procrastinated a long time. If I don't get any Craigslist callers my husband will take them to the auction. They really have only a couple of purposes. Either they are for breeding or they are for selling. We have our breeders and now it is just time. Time to let them go.

Tire Machine

My husband bought a tire machine from his friend The Tire Man. This will come in handy. As I have stated before we live in the desert. On a weekly basis my husband or sons are repairing a tire on one of the vehicles. They go to The Tire Man's shop and use his machine. He doesn't charge usually. At times his brother or father are there and they are grumpy about letting us use the shop. So when they got a new machine he offered to let my husband buy it. He purchased an air compressor from them awhile ago and we use it all the time. It will be quite nice to not need the shop as often. Of coarse we will need to buy our tires from them. But repairs and changes can be done at our house

Ninja

I received my Christmas present early. This Ninja comes in handy while we are on Herbalife. The ninja whips up a shake in no time. My favorite lately is peanut butter. Thank you Santa

New Director

So my work filed bankruptcy and was bought by another large corporation. My department was reassigned to another director. We were removed from any other department as well. She sent a plant on our first day of transition. I took it home because some of my work mates thought it had a bad odor. When the arrangement first arrived it had many different flowers inserted into the base of the pot. I took it home and removed all the dead flowers. It has no other smell but dirt now. The plant was a very nice thought.

First New Car

My oldest son bought his first new car. He went to a dealership and worked it out with them. He also purchased his first insurance policy. I am so proud of him. I am glad this worked out for him.

No Security Deposit

My oldest son will not be getting a security deposit back. He moved in with his girl friend. This is the mess he left. Since my husband and I are on this health kick we might turn it into a home gym. I offered the room to my youngest son, but he declined. He thinks his room is cooler. I suppose any room would be cooler if you uncovered the air vent. In this picture it is under the futon in the corner. I suppose we will need to gut the room and start from scratch. You know. Patch the huge holes in the drywall and paint. Remove the stained and cut up carpet and replace with new laminate flooring. If only I could win the lottery.

Guess what I'm making

I bet you can guess what I'm making?

The Ugliest Skirt Ever

So I finally found one. I have looked and looked for a denim skirt just like this one. I don't buy any clothes new so at times I have to wait for things I really want. Thrift stores like Goodwill and the Salvation Army are my favorite stores. Of coarse I do buy my undergarments new. I came across this flared denim skirt and it fits just perfect. I wear it not once but twice. Then the third time I wear it my husband said your not wearing that skirt. I honestly can't remember where we were going. I was shocked that he said that. I asked why whats wrong with it thinking I had stained it, or ripped it, or something. He said "That's the ugliest skirt ever." I asked him if he was serious and he said yes. I asked my youngest son what he thought. My sons are great about this. I come out with different outfits and they tell me what they think. They probably hate that. But he said "Is that from the 70's." Ok so neither one of them like this skirt. I really like it. It is so comfortable and feels nice on. I suppose I can wear it when they are not around.

Dollar Store Lotion

So I remembered something today. When I was in the hospital I was concerned that my husband wouldn't be able to find me. In he walks into the room. I said how did you find me? He said I smelled your cheap lotion. I so love this lotion. I have very sensitive skin and I tried this lotion as a tester. I waited until the next day. No itching or burning. So I went back to the Dollar store and bought one bottle. I was almost out of the lotion awhile back.I went back to my town Dollar store and they were out. But don't worry while I was shopping with my mother we came across the same lotion and we bought another. I don't think it smells cheap. It has a vanilla, brown sugar scent. I haven't received any complaints about it from my work mates. The last time I tried a new lotion it was fine. Then after a truck ride to Maricopa, where my parents and sister live, my skin burned like the dickens. Who ever came up with that saying. Anyway, That had to be a reaction with sunlight. My father suggested to rub vinegar on it. That took the burning sensation away immediately. I am leery to try any new lotions or soaps because of that reaction and others I have had.

Harry Potter

I have started watching the Harry Potter DVDs. It would be crazy to watch them all at once. The series has eight DVDs in total. I am missing the last three. But do not fret. Our Public Library can order them for me. So this gives me some time. The library is not the fastest route to go, but it is the cheapest. At this time in my life DVDs are not the kind of things I spend money on. If you look in our DVD cabinet you will see a lot of men/boy titles. Now don't get me wrong. At one time in my life I would just go out and buy whatever title I wanted. That was way back when movies where videos. I just have a hard time spending almost twenty five dollars on a single item. So meanwhile I am now on The Goblet of Fire.

Rabbit Food

My husband and I are trying to lose some weight. He is using herbal life and weight lifting. He is also trying to eat right. We are eating a lot of salads with chicken or turkey. We are both getting tired of all this "rabbit food " as he puts it. I lost several pounds before my surgery. I have found that it is hard to keep it off. I have a hard time exercising because it triggers an asthma attack. We will continue. The shakes aren't. Half bad
