As the boredom of the day strikes me I surf the net. I often fi, mind myself reading all kinds of celebrity gossip and news about celebs. I don’t know why I am so “star” struck but I am. Not new to me or to most of my readers is the news of Clay Aiken. I think he’s an incredible person and this news doesn’t change that at all. I am hoping that the rest of the world is as open minded as the people that surround him. The news about Heather Locklear did shock me however. I didn’t expect her to check out of rehab and when she did I figured things wouldn’t be good. However, this is just “weird” I guess mostly because she does have a support system. Who knows. That mug shot surely is a beauty though!! I also read about Janet Jackson. I am wondering what is going on with her. Still nothing released on what is going on!! I hope she’s okay and it’s something minor.
Anyhow… I’m battling some migraines again. I have no idea why, but they seemly have gotten worse. I’ve called the neurologist and they’ve instructed me to take some different meds in a different order so we will see if that helps. I haven’t changed anything else (other then my stress has increased) so I don’t know what else I could possibly do. These have gotten bad though. I never got the nausea with them before. I have been lately though and it’s bad. Mariah had a 1/2 day of school today so I had to get her from school at noon and then run to Wal-mart and pick up pictures and a new micro sd card. I needed one for my phone. I need to be able to store windows documents and things on there… and since they had a special on them, I picked up 2. They come with adapters so I can plug them right up to the computer to sync them. That makes life easy!!
Okay well I am making a turkey and potatoes and other goodies for dinner… time to getting peeling and what not. Later bloggers!!

I thought I would title my post that since when I signed into my admin panel to post Askmit told me “Today was my lucky day” and it really did sound fitting. Let me explain. Today my husband is off. He got up early because he wanted to go to the gym with his friend. His friend needed a shoulder and they thought they’d go use the sauna and then the treadmills and talk. No big deal. He took the kids with and stuck them in the daycare there. That ment I was home alone and I go to sleep in. I surely did too… until 10am!! I am so LUCKY! I love sleep so this was on top of my list! Now Mariah is over at MIL’s with hubby’s supervision getting her haircut. I’ve given orders and let me tell you they better NOT be broken!! Remember the hair cut fight? Oh yeah!! She’s then going to keep them all day as a little “payment” for hubby to take out some cabinents for her on Monday. So looks like I am KID free today!! I would say that ranks up there with LUCKY - what do you think??? I don’t really have anything to do today. I was going to see if I could compare auto insurance quotes on some of the online places and see if they are cheaper then what we are paying monthly for our 2 vehicles now. These darn commercials I see all the time, they have me thinking we may be paying too much however we’ve been with State Farm for the better part of 10 years and it’s comfort. I do think I may be able to get a better rate though. I just don’t know. Okay well I suppose I should move off this chair and get something done… no kids means I am free to do whatever, so that means I should start by getting up and getting out of my pajamas, huh?

How’s that for a heavty post title? LOL I know I know… I can’t just have everything be POSITIVE so I do have to RANT some!! I am so annoyed with the amaount of SPAM in my mailbox and the amount of SPAM in my comment box on my blog. It’s really a good thing that Askimet stops it. I swear. I would have all sorts of links to places I assure you, you don’t want to visit. Places I don’t visit. I roll my eyes at the very thought they would even go out SPAMMING that type of link… for pete’s sakes!! The stuff in my email box is not any better. Thanks to the Gmail filters not much gets through. However, from time to time I have to go check my SPAM mail online to make sure some of use doesn’t get caught, because that does happen… and I have the joy of reading the subject lines… Please tell me this… When they include your email address followed by the words “you are stupid” in the subject line, do they REALLY think you are going to open that?!?! I mean come on now!?!?! Seriously… I won’t even go there… we all know how stupid some people REALLY are!! And it sure as hell isn’t me!! If you’re planning to SPAM me and want me to read it including something like THAT in the subject line surely isn’t going to work!! LOL
Moving on to bigger and better things… I am officially going to announce my decision here for president. I’ve decided who I will vote for. I’ve decided to not debate so I won’t post the why’s and how’s and whatnot’s, but I’ve decided that I will post my decision as I would also like to post a blinkie in honor of my choice. I will be doing that today!! I am proud to say that I will be voting for John McCain and VP Palin. Again, we all have a choice, yours is not mine, mine is not yours… respect mine, I respect yours… However, I am voting for McCain. Here’s my new blinkage:
I’ll add it to my side bar shortly!! Onto the next round of business at the table… LOL I can’t actually vacation for a while to come yet…likely summer, but I am still scoping out places and getting ready to plan the next one. Another place I’ve looked into is Branson Missouri. I had NO idea there was so much to do there. They have theme parks, live music, water parks, museums, magic shows and so much more. They even have a multitude of different vacation packages so you can get everything all in one. That makes it so much easier to plan a vacation. Buy a package and everything is all included in there… Lodging, food and entertainment. You can get a few different packages based on how much food and entertainment you want and how long you want to stay. I love it when you can get an all in one package. It makes things so much easier then trying to build your own and forgetting things. Of course, once you are there, you can always add on because they do have SO much to do, but it will give you a great variety of things to do. This is certainly on the top of our list for our vacation in summer!!!
Okay bloggers, this housework is not doing itself… SIGH!!

I was so bored today… I just did a few graphics things and I read through the paper. I really hate reading the paper these days. I swear. Some of the stuff simply amazes me. Can you believe that a mother actually used her daughter’s information to enroll in highschool to try out for the cheerleading squad… I am glad that she was charged and is in jail and was convicted. Good for the law!! And then we have some underage kids drinking. Two of the boys assaulted a girl at a high school home party. I can’t explain in a few words all of why I hate this situation, but I am sure you, my readers, get it. I am so sick to even think that this stuff happens. I swear. There is a reason for the drinking age to be 21. Sigh! Anyhow.
Tomorrow we are heading to the gym. There are a ton of people at that place that really need some fat burners along with the gym!! I don’t mean to be mean, people really are there working hard, but I see some people and think WOW… anyhow… After that in the morning we are heading to Travis’ aunt’s house. Him and his dad are going to install a sink for her and the kids and I will probably enjoy the lake and the scenery. She is very old fashion and doesn’t have a TV or any electronics so it’s always wierd to go out there. LOL But I will be okay. I will survive. That is pretty much it for the weekend here. Not a ton of excitement, but I will take the camera and perhaps I can take some nice pictures!! That would be nice.

Well the weekend has arrived!! It’s a good thing!! I hate the week. Waking up is not my fortay at all, so anytime I can sleep in is a good deal!! LOL Weekend mean no school, but they also mean that my kids will be fighting more… I don’t know, it shouldn’t be too bad because my hubby is off this week. He called me tonight and said he was taking vacation tomorrow and he is scheduled off on Sunday… So that means he’s off all weekend!! YAY!! So I am happy about that. We won’t be doing too much here though. No major plans. I would really like to do a little something, but as you all know with the stock market crashing like it did it’s been hitting the economey hard and it’s hitting us hard too. We have alot of stuff that is due and alot of stuff to pay and seems like never enough money to pay it. UGH!!
Anyhow… A friend of mine called me today to inform me that a friend from school had been in an accident. His obituary is in the paper here. The full one to be in there on Sunday. He was no drinking as alot of people may think, however he was not wearing a helmet. However, it’s a decision that *WE* as motorcycle riders make. It’s not a law, it’s a choice. There are people that wear helmets and STILL end up passing away from their injuries, so it really doesn’t make a HUGE difference in my opinion.
I want to take a vacation to the St. Martin villa rentals. I swear I need a vacation to get away from it all. They are so sweet and so homey looking. I could go there and hide away for a week!! It would be so nice!! How many of you want to come with me?
