Been Doing Some Thinking
Been Doing Some Thinking:
I have been thinking about going back to Blogger. I like the idea that I can change the theme of my blog for free. On here, I can’t. And the free themes pretty much suck. I even bought the advanced css editor for wordpress and got my money refunded back to me because with it, I still couldn’t upload my own theme. I was looking for a Christmas theme and I can’t even use it because I have to have my own domain pretty much.
On another note, I found my Icicle lights at my old house earlier today. I hadn’t realized that they were blinking icicle lights, so that’s pretty cool and my mom likes them. I didn’t think that they worked and I was happy that they did. It’s usually my luck that Christmas lights don’t work after the first time that they’re up…..
Other than that, not much else going on here. Cheyenne is really happy about having her own computer now. So I’m going to get off of here, so until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(

Patiently Waiting…
Patiently Waiting:
I am waiting patiently for the rest of the Christmas presents that I ordered online to arrive. I got Cheyenne 3 XBox 360 games, a Nintendo DS game and her Bedazzler. Everybody else’s Christmas stuff came already. The Bedazzler, the person that I bought it off of isn’t responding to any of my emails and I am hoping that this person has shipped it already, because it has been over a week now that I have paid for it and it states that items ship out 1-2 days after payment received. Whenever I buy off of Ebay, I always make sure to pay for items that I have won immediately. I don’t mind shopping on Ebay, stuff is pretty reasonably prices so I can’t complain.
Other than that, not a whole lot going on. Cheyenne decided that she wanted to stay another night with her dad. So I’m going to pick her up tomorrow at 2. I hope she had a good time with her dad. Well, I’m going to get off of here and get some sleep. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(

Black Friday! Ugh!!
Black Friday:
I am so happy that it’s now Saturday. My parents and I ventured out to Wal-Mart to see what kind of computers they had. It was busy, but not as busy as I thought it would be. I know they opened up at 5am and I could imagine the line of people waiting to get in at that time. Luckily, the prices that they were advertising between the hours of 5am and 11am, were still in effect when we got there. They had a BluRay player for $78! I couldn’t believe it. My mom and I both got new laptop computers. My mom got an Acer Aspire and it has a 16″HD screen..it’s pretty sweet. I was going to get the same one, but they only had one left. It really wasn’t a big deal. So the next one up was this HP laptop. It was $400. This has a 16″ HD screen too. And I also have to say that I love Windows 7. It is alot easier to maneuver than Windows Vista. It’s similar to Vista, but I think it’s just beer all the way around. My mom likes it too.
Cheyenne is still with her Dad. He took her skating while my we went computer shopping. After our shopping venture, we stopped at Perkins to have supper. Brian & Cheyenne met us there after the skating party. So it was perfect timing, because they showed up shortly after we did. She’s supposed to come home tomorrow. And then on Monday, she wants me to take her skating again. They’re having a no school skate while the kids are on Thankgsiving break. But anyways, that’s about it here. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(

Some After Thanksgiving Thoughts…
After Thanksgiving Thoughts:
We had a nice Thanksgiving today. I was, however, pretty bummed out that Cheyenne didn’t want to spend the holiday with us, but she needed to spend time with her dad as well because she hasn’t seen him very much. For awhile it seemed as if he only wanted to see her when it was convenient for him or as a last minute thought. Plus, there was alot of bickering back and forth between him and I. Anyways, they went to southern Ohio to one of Brian’s friends house and he conveniently forgot to tell me yesterday that he was planning on staying the night down there. I was kinda peeved to find out at 10:30 at night that they wouldn’t be home until tomorrow. But I did remind him that Cheyenne has a skating party to go to tomorrow at noon, and that she needed to be back up here by then. I should make him take her since he pulled that stunt. I can’t skate because I have I have a bad back and a bad knee.
Also tomorrow, well actually later on today since it’s almost 1am here, my mom, dad and I are going to venture out to Wal-Mart and get 2 new laptop computers. My dad is getting them for us as an early Christmas present and for helping around the house as much as I do. I am not complaining by any means. My old Gateway laptop died about a month ago and I was really bummed out about it. But after tomorrow, I won’t have to worry about computers crashing, for awhile anyways lol. This desktop that I’m on now, is on its last legs. It pretty much has a mind of its own…sometimes I swear it’s possessed, seriously!! It boots up when it wants to and shuts down when it wants to as well.
So anyways, back to Thanksgiving… we had a huge dinner. There was turkey(obviously) it was 15lbs., mashed potatoes, baked yams with marshmallows on top, stuffing, cranberry sauce, deviled eggs, and pumpkin pie. I was going to make green bean casserole minus the mushroom soup and substitute it with celery soup, but I figured that there was enough stuff to eat. And there was…I think we could have fed a small army with the amount of food we had too. We also had dinner rolls.
Well it’s getting late and I need to be up early and go shopping with the family. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(

Happy Thanksgiving!!
Happy Thanksgiving:
I may not be online much tomorrow, so for those of you that do read my blog I just wanted to wish you all a very wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow and also that you have a very blessed holiday season this year.
Granted, our economy is tanked beyond belief, but even I have a few reasons to be thankful this Thanksgiving. I am thankful for my family, without them supporting me through all the BS I’ve had to deal with, I don’t think I would be here today. And I’m being very honest. A few months back, I hit a rough patch and things were horrible for awhile. But my family has supported me and I am thankful for them. I am also thankful for my friends that have just been my friend and for just listening and not talking when things were bad. I am also thankful for my daughter, she is my inspiration and saving grace in life! I love her so very much.
Well, I’m going to get off of here. So until we blog again, hugs and blessings! Have a wonderful Thankgiving!

The Upcoming Holiday…
The Upcoming Holiday:
Well, I guess I’m as prepared for Thanksgiving as I’m gonna be. I’m not really big into holidays much anymore, but this Thanksgiving holiday so far, is going well. I made the deviled eggs tonight and will be making the homemade stuffing either tomorrow or Thursday morning before I put the bird in the oven. I think I just may do it tomorrow night and get it out of the way, so it’s one less thing to do on Thanksgiving. Cheyenne is going with her Dad to one of his friend’s house for the holiday. I suppose that’s okay as long as he’s not going to be an asshole about it. Tara will also be coming up here as far as I know. Last I heard, she was. Then on Friday, my mom, dad and I are going computer shopping. We’re both getting new laptops, which will be nice. Later on Friday, I’m taking Cheyenne to a school related skating party at the Skating Center. Then on Saturday, we’re heading to Wal-Mart for a Hannah Montana backstage thing going on. Yeah, I can see it now….50 million screaming pre-teen and teen girls all screaming at the top of their lungs. I better bring some tylenol with me in my purse just in case lol. I’ll keep you updated on that. So that’s about it for now. Well, I’m going to get off of here and get some stuff done. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(
Have a blessed Thanksgiving holiday!

Busy Weekend,etc…
Busy Weekend:
I knew since yesterday that I would have a pretty busy weekend ahead. After Cheyenne came home from school yesterday, she asked me if she could go to Tea´s for the weekend. I told her that I didn’t mind as long as it was okay with her mom Carrie. Well it usually is okay with her, because Cheyenne goes there pretty much every weekend. It’s a nice little break though…hehehe. With her at her friends house, that gives me time to do some more Christmas shopping on Ebay. Speaking of Ebay, some of the Christmas stuff that I ordered arrived in the mail today. I had to make sure to hide the stuff I got for Chrismas in case Cheyenne decides to be nosy when she comes home tomorrow. I just hope that she likes everything that I got for her. There were a couple things that I couldn’t afford last Christmas for her, so I went ahead and got them for her this year. Most of my Christmas shopping is done except for my dad, my niece Heaven Irene, Rickcal & Marty. My dad is so hard to buy for sometimes because he has many interests. And my niece Heaven Irene likes Dora the Explorer and Disney stuff, so she really isn’t hard to buy for. Plus she has a birthday coming up and I got 2 tickets for Georgeanne to take her to the Disney on Ice show at the Covelli Centre on December 20th. So it will be a late birthday present/ early Christmas present. I just hope she will enjoy it. I was going to try and get 2 more tickets, but they sold out like hotcakes. And I’m not really sure if Cheyenne would want to go to that again. She saw the Disney on Ice show 2 years ago and she liked it, but she has different interests now that she’s getting older.
Well, I’m gonna get off of here and try to get some sleep. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(

Christmas Shopping On Ebay…
Christmas Shopping on Ebay:
Yes, you heard me right. I don’t think there’s any shame in it especially in these tough economic times. Most of the stuff that Cheyenne wants for Christmas I found on Ebay. I found her a Bedazzler craft thing so she can add gems,etc to her clothes. And it’s brand new for $10.00! Not a bad price considering that in stores they want close to $30.00 for it, I’ve done the research…hehehe. I found her a couple of Hannah Montana items for under $10.00 too, so Cheyenne will have a nice Christmas this year and that makes me happy. Now, I just have to figure out what to get everyone else in the family like Mom, Dad, Georgeanne, Heaven & Rickcal for Christmas now lol. Everyone is pretty easy to shop for except Mom&Dad, they can be picky at times. But it’s all good! I have plenty of time still to get it all done by Christmas. I’ve also been selling some unwanted stuff and that’s how I got the money for Christmas. And that’s been going pretty good.
I have another job interview tomorrow morning and I’m pretty excited about it. I hope I get it. I’ve had quite a few interviews and nothing has panned out unfortunately. But I am still very hopeful that I will find a job by Christmas because that will help me out considerably too. Well, I’m going to get off of here and get ready for bed. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(

Weekend Getaway!
Weekend Getaway:
I am so looking forward to Friday night. Georgie, Chris, Greg, Jennifer & I are planning a midnight fishing trip to Mosquito Lake State Park. The last time that I went night fishing, I was a kid up at my grandparents cottage on the lake, 20 some years ago. So it will bring back alot of memories, all good ones though. Greg & Jennifer are bringing the grill and I’m getting the food, the bait and a few other small things. It’s something that I’m really looking forward to doing.
On another note, the jeep is really starting to irritate me! We dropped the transfer case today and now the damn transmission doesn’t want to come out. We broke 3 exhaust bolts trying to get that out of the way. So those will have to replaced when we put the new transmission in next week. Sometime next week, we’re going to Scranton, PA to a salvage yard where you take your own parts off the vehicles, which is pretty cool because I found a transmission out of a Jeep Liberty for $99! No joke! It pays to take your own parts off! Not much else going on here really. Cheyenne is being her typical snobby self right now. She’s not speaking to me, which is fine with me, because I wouldn’t let her call her Dad tonight. She has her own phone for one, and another it’s not my fault that she used up all her minutes on her phone. Her dad bought her that phone, he can buy the minutes for it because I refuse to. I told him it was a bad idea from the get go to buy her a phone, but he got it anyways. He just did it out of spite, that’s all. Well, I’m going to get off of here and finish watching my movie. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(

Been Offline For Awhile….
Been Offline For Awhile:
I guess it was a blessing in disguise that my laptop decided that it didn’t want to boot up for me anymore as of this past Sunday. The night before I ran Windows Update and everything was fine with it. Then BOOM! the very next day, it won’t boot up, it won’t do anything! I was getting so frustrated with it, that I knew if I didn’t leave it be and walk away, the damn computer would be flung out the front door into the driveway lol. So after I did that, I got the initiative to work on my mom’s desktop computer and find out why I couldn’t get online with that one. So here I am, 2 days later, on my mom’s computer. The encryption key had to be reset because some retard decided to clear out the encryption key. So after I did that, internet is fine now.
Chris and I went to Wal-Mart today to check out the laptop computers that they had up there. There’s a few that I have my eye on, and they are roughly around the same price, $350.00. I’m hoping that by Christmas, I will be able to afford a new laptop. I’m pretty hopeful because I also have a few job interviews lined up this week. I have one tomorrow at an advertising company taking inbound calls. No nights, no weekends, and it’s all dayturn. The only downside is that it’s about 30 miles away from the house. But if all goes well and I do get the job, I will try to save up enough money to find an apartment closer to work. The gas alone will kill me lol. I’m hoping to maybe find a house in Youngstown or in that general area.
Well, not much else going on here. The jeep is out of commission for the moment. I have to replace the torque converter in it and that’s connected to the transmission. Not fun, because it’s hard trying to find a transmission for that damn jeep!! So until I find one, it’s sitting over at Chris’s mom’s house.
Well, I’m going to get off of here for now. So until we blog again, hugs & blessed be! )0(
