Boy I can remember the days that I looked forward to sleeping in late on my Saturday mornings, those most certainly were the days. Now it is all about getting up as early as I possible can handle and get started on all the chores that have been building up all week, done and out of the way. The main thing is all of the laundry, and it really sucks because I have both the washer and dryer downstairs in the basement and I have to trudge up and down those stairs all day long.
But you gotta do what you gotta do as the saying goes, one day I’ll live in a house were the washer and dryer on the main level of the house, that certainly would be great improvement in my life! A girl can dream can’t she?
One of my favorite places to visit is North Carolina and since my best friend lives down there I get a few opportunities a year to go down there for fun filled visits with her and her family. Her parents are are currently checking out various outer banks real estate for sale and I really, really hope that they really do take the plunge and buy some property in that wonderful area. What fun we could have there. I love the water and I know that I would have an open invitation there whenever I wanted to come and enjoy all that it has to offer.
I love Reader’s Digest magazine. My mother always had the latest edition in the bathroom in the house that we grew up in, and that is what turned me onto reading as a kid.
The jokes are usually good, the stories interesting and nothing took a lot of time to read. A quick fix in a room that we hopefully didn’t have to spend a long time sitting in!
I should have asked for a subscription for Christmas.
When I first moved into my new home, it was cable ready, but I knew from the start that I would prefer to subscribe to a satellite company instead, which I switched to immediately after all of the final paperwork was signed, and everything said and done, in the closing of the house. For the most part I have been happy with satellite, it has been just recently that I noticed an increase on my monthly bill and due to a lot of the high winds that we have been experiencing here, I have lost our signal a whole lot more than usual.
The main issue I have right now is the selection on movies that they have to offer as of late, on their Pay Per View Movies, the last couple of times that I have wanted to just kick back and order a movie just by clicking a few buttons on the remote, their hasn’t been much of a selection that I find appealing enough to order.

I have direct tv at home and I watch a lot more TV than I’d probably like to admit. I really love everything on TBS mostly because it’s reruns and a lot of the best movies from when I was growing up. I like Friends a lot and Sex and the City, both of which they air a lot, but they also do all kinds of great comedies like The Hangover and also pretty much every movie Cameron Diazhas ever been in. I love watching TV in the afternoons when I get home from my night shift and wake up from my long nap and you know, that’s the best way I can think of to let off steam and get the break I need from the day. I don’t know why so many people like to go on runs or play with the dog – if you asked me what I’d like to be doing at any given moment it would be watching something on TV! That’s the truth!
Flannel sheets. I’ve always wanted flannel sheets and I really could use a new look for my bedroom. So a new bedspread, a nice soft blanket and some new accent pillows would be a nice Christmas present for myself one that I could purchase now and have ready for the holiday season.
Been spending the afternoon online, looking at a few last minute gift ideas. My brother-in-law is in need for some decent abrasives, he is into metal work, big time, so I’d like to be able to get him something that he can really use. I hate spending money on generic gifts, if I’m going to get some one a gift I really want it to be a good one. So I’m thinking some abrasives would be right on target this year.
This year’s Thanksgiving dinner celebration is going to be different from previous ones. My mother usually hosts these holiday functions at the old homestead, but this year my brother’s daughter has volunteered to have Thanksgiving at her new town house. We were afraid that my mother might be upset with this but she seems grateful that she won’t have to do both Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, since it is a lot of hard work for her to tackle each and every year. So we will see how it all works out come next Thursday afternoon.
