Year 3 of no air in the van is too much

Alpine Village Family July 30th, 2008

I really miss being able to cool off in the van. At first i thought that it would be no big deal. I could wait until the Fall to get it fixed. Then that turned into three years… and now I’m really missing my air conditioning :( . I know, I’m being a spoiled baby but it’s sooooo hot in there. When I go out now, I just sweat and sweat and the kids get sooo hot too -sometimes they feel sick. So, before next Summer, I’m buying a new van. I will not do a 4th year of a hot, hot van.

Massage therapy… no thanks.

I heard today that one of our neighbours’ kids is looking into massage therapy schools for next year. I have to admit that I really don’t get the desire to rub strangers for a living. Not to offend or anything. I know it’s not dirty but, whether its theraputic or not, it’s still a job that would require one to be intimate with people we might rather not see mostly naked, let alone rub slowly while they are mostly naked. Yah, I really don’t get it…

I feel like camping

Alpine Village Family July 26th, 2008

I feel like packing up the kiddos and going to a campground somewhere in the boonies :) Not in a tent mind you. No, I guess I’m sort of “been there done that” with the tent camping. What I would rather do is get a tent trailer. That way we can at least have a fridge and a stove and nice beds that are off the ground LOL!! It’s just that being TV free and out in the country side sounds soooo nice as a change :)

Renting a hotel room w the kids for the pool

Alpine Village Family July 6th, 2008

We have a hotel here where i live that has a really nice pool. It has a water slide and the whole nine yards. So I’m thinking of looking up some hotel deals and seeing if I can get a deal on staying there with the kids.

It would just be an overnighter but I think the kids would LOVE it and, even though we’d still be in our own city, it would feel like a getaway for me too ;)

I’d love to redecorate

Alpine Village Family July 4th, 2008

I’d love to redecorate. Maybe redo the living room all in blue walls with yellow and red accents - with white wood trim etc. I’d love to have the French Country look :) Of course then I’d also have to redo my kitchen. But I’m excited about that too because I want to learn how to tile my back splash myself too. I want those little tiny tiles and do it in different shades of blue. Then i want to have a new sink - the big country style ones - and fancy faucets too :) Okay i’m all ready I just need a bigger bank account :)
