You have to love the things you can find online and on ebay. These days whether you are looking for a pair of shoes, Ferrari parts, or a couch, you can rest assured you will find it online! Sometimes I will open google and I will entertain myself for hours on end with various things that I find on the web. It’s amazing the things that you can find.

We need a couple new TV’s in the kids rooms. We recently got an LCD HDTV for the living room and it’s fancy and flat screen. Hubby would like to get one for our bedroom too, but I don’t think the TV in there is even old enough to replace yet. The kids however DO need to be replace. My daughter pulled the co\able out of the back of hers when it dropped a few years back and the reception has been spotty since. She really needs a new one. So many technology advances the new LCD one WON’T fall off the wall!!

Seems like all the Hollywood celebs are doing these FAD diets these days. They claim to have found the best fat burners. They’ve lost a ton of weight and they look wonderful. Nevermind the fact that they have a ton of money and can afford a personal trainer and a chef to make them the perfectly safe and wonderful meals they should be eating while dieting! Yeah I am sure NONE of that helps!

Ah the teenage years, I think they are upon us. My child is starting to get the full blown attitude that comes with teenager-ism. She’s already made phone calls to her friends that have lasted over an hour. Next will be the acne, and then then attitude will fling into overdrive and she prepares to take on the world with her PMS. I am so looking forward to that and everything that comes with it! NOT! Wait until I have 2 teenagers! I think I should just save myself and start putting away money for a new home FAR FAR away!! That seems like a much more logical plan, don’t you think?!!

So we are thinking about redoing our master bathroom. One thing we have looked at are several new shower units. We KNOW we want a new shower head. I’ve been looking at some Hansgrohe showers heads and they are so neat. I was talking with a friend who went to Germany while in college. She tells me that over there, in the showers they don’t even have turn dials. You push your temp on a dial pad and jump in. Oh man!! Could you imagine? I would DIE for that!! Seriously! That would be perfect to have the same temperature shower every time I jumped in. Never messing with dials and turn a little more, just a smidge more, oops a little too far. Yeah you are all laughing because you SOOOO know this is what happens AND it annoys all of us. Can you imagine what it would be like if we actually picked up some of the amazing technology they have in Germany!! I need to learn German… I’m moving… I was sold on the shower!

And it’s a PSA from yours truely!! Seriously… I swear… my insurance agent totally loves me. Either that or he’s desperatly worried about my health! He calls me once every 6 months to give me some life insurance rates. Normally I would be put off, but I am actually rather humored by this all. I mean we have life insurance and I don’t see a need to get more at this time. Maybe some day, but not now.  I think we are set. But he is determined to call me every 6 months regardless and talk to me about it. I love it. He’s so determined. I just might have to get myself some more life insurance one of these days… even if it is to end the calls!

So the kids informed me that they are making their wish lists for Santa. My son boldly stated “Santa said I could have ANYTHING I wanted.”  Oh really?!? I think I need to chat with Santa!! While my daughter took the conservative route… “I’ll just have…” and started a list a mile long. Oh they are a riot I tell you!! Then I get to hubby and here’s the convo:

He says “I just NEED one thing from Santa.”

Okay I’ll bite…

Me: “What’s that babe?”

Him: “A Slingbox!”

Me: “Why does that sound like something you are going torture me with?”

Him: “Oh torture is not the word!” as he walks away with this evil laugh.

So I look it up online… I think *I* need this gadget more then HE does!! It’s like taking your DVR from home with you wherever you go. Now if you know me you’ll know that my DVR is right under God in my world. I LOVE it SOOOOO much!!! I think I might actually buy him one just so *I* can reap the benefits too… MUAH!!

Okay just a little rant… (sorry to my male readers) There is an over abundance of progesterone in my house right now and I am so annoyed!! The Guitar Hero is driving me batty!! It’s so loud I can’t think. I tried to take the laptop in the bedroom and do some work, but it’s boring in there. So I come back out in the living room and it’s like a concert. I can’t even see anything…  Everything is shaking from them jumping and screaming. You’d think I was at a Metallica concert in 1985!! WOW!! I mean I love the game and all… but man oh man!! It’s enough already!! Something should be said about 5 grown males standing in the living room jamming out to Guitar Hero… don’t you think? LOL Okay okay… enough already… I’ll behave…

Okay, so Mondays are my least favorite day of the week, but today was a pretty good day overall. My kiddos both had school so I dropped them off. I came back home and crawled back into bed. Since my son only goes to school until 11am I got up about 10am and headed to the shower to get dressed and off to pick him up. It was nice to get some peace and quite and extra sleep!! Loved it. I pretty much did nothing else today. Lazy lazy day. I headed off to get Mariah from school at about 2:45pm. My brother was here, but I took Alex and Xavier with me. On my way home I stopped at the pharmacy to pick up my prescriptions. I had to refill my acne cream, which is more of a preventative type lotion stuff, and my migraine pills. The funniest thing happened while I was gone!! I have to share!! Your going to die laughing!! My brother was downstairs. The dog was here but everyone else was gone. I get back and the following conversation happens:

Brother: “Does Sparky have a toy that talks or something?”

Me: “No. Why?”

Brother: “Because I kept hearing voices and something like I know you are here, I can see you. I kept coming up and looking but no one was here.  I checked the doors and they were all locked.”

Me: “Weird. I have no idea.”

Fast forward about 10 minutes. I sit down in the recliner to check my emails after I get the kids all set. Well I see my yahoo messenger has went off and it’s my friend Blythe. She’s tried to message me while I was out. Well I look a bit closer and realize, she has sent me some AUDIABLES while I was away!! I start laughing hysterically. I key her up and tell her about the conversation with my brother! I laid the laptop on the floor next to my recliner. It stays on but the screen turns off after about 3 minutes. The vent is also right there next to the recliner so he could hear this downstairs. She had sent an audible that said: “Hello? I know you’re there. I can see you!” and another that said “Whaaadddup?!” This is what my brother heard.

So my brother had already headed back downstairs, I call him up here to tell him. Of course I am laughing and I show him. I also PLAY them so he can hear them. He looks at me with his ’I am not humored by your childish’ness my dear sister’ look and rolled his eyes and walked back downstairs.

Come on… I thought it was hilarious!!!!
