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.

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.

I am one of those people who likes to ponder about how everything works. I enjoy seeing how businesses run behind the scenes and I have always wondered how companies have software that is made just for them. I found the answer to a few of these questions when I visited the site called MindBodyOnline.com. This site offers a wide array of software for different things like Salon Software, Yoga Studio Software, and Personal Training Software.

In order to keep track of different clients, services, and prices a company needs to have software that is geared towards exactly what they do, and it always seemed to me that it would be hard to find software like this for specialty companies, but it is not as hard as I thought. I thought that many times companies would have to pay programmers to get exactly what they needed to take care of their business, but thanks to MindBodyOnline.com you can get this software already done for you so you do not have to pay expensive programming fees.

This is really good information to know because my husband and I have actually looked a couple of times at running a tanning salon and this software would be perfect for that business! If you have a business like this and you want to run smoothly without paying a programmer to make a program for you then check out www.MindBodyOnline.com!

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.

It has been kind of crazy for me on Facebook lately. My husband has a pretty large extended family that is really easy to find because his last name is very uncommon. I am not going to post it here for security reasons, but family he does not even know have been contacting me and asking who I am and things like that.

It is so interesting that you can find family that you do not even know about due to these social networking sites. I found my brother that was adopted out about 2 years ago on MySpace and we have been close ever since. It is so amazing!

There is always so much negative talk about these sites, and I think that when used properly these sites are really great. I have gotten in touch with a lot of old friends and family through these sites, and that is so wonderful!

I am always on the lookout for a new place to live. I started looking at different states lately because when I graduate from college I am guessing that I will have to move to a different state in order to make good money. I have looked a lot at Wilmington NC real estate because it looks like a beautiful place to live.

I got two big projects due this week for school.  I am a very bad procrastinator and of course I have been waiting until the last minute to get everything done.  The bad thing is that I have 2 projects due the same day and I cannot save both of them for last!

I want to be able to have them both done before Wednesday, so I have to start tonight. Sometimes school and work is hard to do in the same week. I have a new found respect for people who do all of this and have kids too.
