So the vacation I was thinking on, not probably going to happen. But there is better news to report. We are renewing our vows. We would like to do so on a nice beach some place. I am looking at some myrtle beach hotel options right now. They are beautiful and if we go in a time were it’s not too warm there, it just might be a great time. If we wait until the summer months, it might be too hot to enjoy. What are your favorite beaches? Any suggestions?

So everytime you hit the scale, you really want to see that magical number. I always think in my head… -10 please. Even though I have done nothing that would warrent the minus 10, I just feel the scale should show SOME mercy over the years. It only seems fair, right? For some people they’ve turned to excersise, some to weight loss pills, some to other things, but for me I just remain hopeful that some day the scale will bless me with my minus 10 wish and everything will be okay!! HAHA! Never hurt to be optimistic, right?

I’m finding my motivation these days slim and far between. I have none. I have very little. Actually, I think it’s because of housework. If I didn’t have housework, I would have LOTS of motivtion. Really. Actually that is it. I know that is it. LOL I hate doing any of it. I like a clean house, but I want a maid. Yup… sounds like the PERFECT plan!! In my PERFECT world! Not… Back to reality… There is laundry to do, a floor to mop, a dishwasher to unload and lunch to make, the dog needs a bath, the pool needs attention… UGH!

My brother is here… things have worked out. I talked to my parents and they are fine with everything now. My mom is upset, hurt, just like a mom would be, but he’s 5 months from being 18… there’s not alot you can do. So other then that there’s no more to update there. He’s living here. Not sure for how long, but for now.

As I said above, the pool needs attention… I am the proud owner of a green pool. We ran out of clorine. So today I have to go get some and shock the crap out of it to get the green away. So I have to run to the store and get shock… UGH!! And then I suppose I will start the housework *sigh*

I also have to make a call to a few mortgage lenders. We really want to refinance our home. We had an appraisal done a while back. We just haven’t gotten a lender we felt was worth doing all the paperwork for. We obviously want a better deal then what we have currently. So I am not sure… It’s so daunting!! Who said owning a house was fun?!?!?

Hubby and I have plans to add do a deck in the front yard. We already talked to his cousin who will be doing most of the work for us. It’s all drawn and figured out, it’s just a matter of the finances and actually DOING it. Everytime we go to the gym we use the hot tub there. We both enjoy it and since we don’t have the kids, it’s nice and relaxing. I keep telling hubby I would really love to get one. We have decided that this is something we are going to do when we get the deck put it. We will go ahead and get a hot tub!! I think it would be great and we would use it alot. We’ve spent alot of time looking at different hot tubs and hot tub accessories that we think we would like to have, pricing things out, etc. I think we may actually go with a hot tub from ebay. My aunt got her from there and my friend also got hers from there and they’ve had good luck. Tonight I was looking around at some cool covers!! They are called SpaScenes. They are super neat. Look at this one:

It’s called Fern Falls. I think it’s super nice. Rather then the boring ole grey or panel looking cover to have to look at you would have this neat little scene type thing. They are waterproof and high chemical resistant, so they are completely safe. And yes, I know your thinking, price… they must me a mint… NOPE, they are nice and afforadable!! Right now the website is offering free shipping on them, but in comparison to any other spa or hot tub cover they are equal in price. I would MUCH rather have one of these scene ones!! They are offered for both large and small spa sizes too!! What a nice and relaxing look!!

This certainly makes me want to get started on the contruction for the deck NOW so I can get the hot tub!! I don’t want to wait anymore!! LOL

Last night we went downtown to see the fireworks. Let’s just say, it’s a bit hectic to cram 200,00+ people into a little iddy biddy bridge area to see the show. Most of whom have spent the day down there getting drunk and listening to the bands play prior to the fireworks. So yes, it’s a wonderful time to say the least. Once you get past the drunk people, beer tents, spilled food, cans all over the road and sidewalks, garbage cans randonly placed in the middle of sidewalks, you can actually enjoy the show. Last nights show lasted about 35 minutes. This is much longer then the last few years. It was 15 minutes tops which frankly for me isn’t worth the hassle, but the kids like it. So I was pleasantly suprised last night. We had good weather and it was a nice show. Overall Fire Over the Fox which is sponsered by Festival Foods was a great show!! Here’s a couple pictures I got, I only took my Point and Shoot camera so they aren’t the best!!

I absolutely loved this one:

Here’s one of the Ground Showers and some in the sky:

And this one got TONS of cheers from the crowd. You might not understand it, but we are from Green Bay, home of the Green Bay Packers Football team.  So this is the Green Bay Packers ‘G’ and a heart next to it… because “We Love Our Green Bay Packers!”:

You can see a few more of my shots on Flickr here. It was a fun night… So was coming home and trying to sleep! But that’s another story!! LOL

On another note, I got my Candle Order today from Lara at The Sage Grove. I am hopelessly addicted to her stuff. She’s got some new scents. I always order them in tarts first. Then I go ahead and order the candles if I really like the scent. Although I have loved all of the scents I have gotten from her!! I just have some FAVS. I am excited to see what she brings out for Fall scents because the summer ones are awesome. On this order I got Love Spell, Caribean Coconut, Honey Coco Mango, Monkey Toots and Spring Rain. I love them all. The smell in my home right now is Monkey Toots. It’s a banana smell. I LOVE LOVE it. It’s soft and wonderful, and the name of it makes me giggle a little each time!! LOL

Okay bloggers, I am off to start my day. I do have a link for you today: Looking for some electronic deals? Look no further!! Check it out!! They have some awesome things!!
