I would really like to invest in a couple of different vacation rentals so that I can start getting out of here in the winter. I really hate when it gets cold out, but I hate it even more when it starts snowing and people start driving like idiots. I want to be able to get away for a couple weeks during winter so I can have a break from all of that!

When my hubby was working at MTE he talked all about the spray booth that they had in paint and how nice it was because they had just gotten a new one. I am really glad that he does not work there anymore though because that job was really taking a toll on his poor lungs, and I hate companies that are aware of these problems and do nothing about it.

I have been thinking about getting the hubby a really nice hat for Christmas this year. I do not have a lot of money to spend on him, and of course he does not expect anything from me but I always want to get him at least something for Christmas. I am thinking he will want a nice hat because it is going to be really cold and his hair is really short!

I have been doing a lot of dieting and exercising but I am not losing weight at the rate that I would like to. I decided that I am going to talk to my doctor about getting some kind of diet pill to help me out. My doctor is not the kind of doctor that likes to give out prescriptions so I will probably have to go online to find what I am looking for.

I definitely have the flu. I was laid out, slept most of the day, and barely kept down a bagel and some eggs. The thermometer tells me I’m running a 102 degree fever. I feel exhausted and cold, even though I’m all bundled up. I’m going to take some Vitamin C and eat some soup, and try sleeping some more. Hopefully, I can get over this quick. I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I am sitting here right now writing on my blog while I am stuck on the phone with my grandma. She is telling me all about everything that she can think of to talk about. I don’t mind talking to her a lot and stuff, but over 2 hours is a little excessive. I do not want to be rude and tell her that I have to go because I know that she gets lonely, but sometimes my face gets really hot while talking on the phone because the phone starts to get hot. My neck starts to hurt from holding the phone with my shoulder too. Maybe I should invest in a Bluetooth headset or something because these runs leave me feeling hot, bored, and sore!

Basically moving day has come for my dad. My grandma is really upset about it, and I am too. Wait, let me backtrack a little so you can understand a little better.

About 5 years ago my dad moved in with his (believe it or not) 4th wife. She lived in a place called Port Huron Michigan and my grandmother and all of us still lived in Flint. I was living in a very D rated house behind my hubby’s aunts place which was technically called a mother in laws house or some junk like that. Anyways, my dad comes to me with a proposal and offer that I couldn’t refuse. (Backtracking just a little again) My grandma had been getting sick a lot and I was having to take care of her most of the time because he lived so far away and it was actually raising my blood pressure because I do not handle stress well. So he comes to me and asks if I want to buy my grandma’s house for $40k (which wasn’t that horrible at the time) and since I lived basically in a crapshack I said sure! He wanted to move my grandma to be closer to him so that he could actually take care of her. This sounded like a great deal all around for me and my hubby.

My gramma said that she did not want to go if he was just going to end up moving out of this wife’s house but he assured her there was nothing to worry about. Well, my dad and that lady have been divorced for a year now but he stuck around for that period of time.

Now he is moving to Alabama leaving my grandma here 45 minutes away from me or anyone who can take care of her. He gets these hairbrained ideas and then just runs with them. I’m really upset, he says that he will be moving her there in January, but I do not really see how.

I’ll shut up for now I could write an epic novel of things that he does that are just wrong. I sometimes wish that I could be that selfish and only worry about my own happiness.

It was my grandmother’s 75th birthday on Tuesday so my brother, my husband, and myself all took a trip up to her city so that we could go to the place that she likes to eat called Cheap Charlies. She likes it because they give half off on your birthday dinner, but I do not know why that mattered so much to her since my dad was paying for dinner.

My dad is moving to Alabama on Saturday so my grandma wanted everyone to be together before he left, and since she is old there was no real argument to be made. The only thing that sucked was her city is 45 minutes away!

I had some chicken fajitas at Cheap Charlies and they were pretty good. I probably would not have driven 45 minutes to eat there!

I gave both my grandma and my dad 8×10 pictures of all of us in frames so that he would have one to take with him and she could have one for herself.

All in all it turned out pretty good. I hope that she had a happy birthday!

I was getting really sick of all of the ads on television for the candidates. Unfortunately now that the election is over the press has been following Obama’s every move. I heard at least 6 times on various news mediums yesterday about how Obama was working out. WHO CARES?! It’s great that he wants to keep in shape, but holy crap let the guy do some things by himself. It figures that America would some how turn one of our presidents into a media toy.

I know that people in the media just have to try to cover whatever is popular at the time, and right now Obama is the hot person but we do not need to know every time the man goes to the bathroom.

Anyways, I just wanted to give a little rant about it because everywhere I look now instead of it being an ad for a candidate the press is giving us an update about what Obama had for dinner.

When my husband and I got married we got the best rings that we could afford. We ended up buying a cheap wedding set which was a bad idea. His ring got messed up rather quickly, and we ended up having to buy him a new one. We decided to go with one of those titanium wedding bands because of his work. It worked out really well because the titanium rings are much stronger and they can take quite a beating. It has been a really great ring so I decided to get him a titanium necklace for Christmas this year. I am pretty sure that he never reads my blog (or hopefully does not) so he will not have a clue what I am going to get him. I was shopping on www.TitaniumStyle.com for this gift because they have a great site and they have really good prices too!

When my brother got married he ordered titanium rings for both him and his wife from TitaniumStyle.com and they are really pretty. If I had to do it all over again I would definitely buy titanium rings because they look really nice and they are so durable!

I recommend shopping at www.TitaniumStyle.com for all of your jewelry needs because titanium is built to last!
