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
