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 ;)

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 Danze faucets too :) Okay i’m all ready I just need a bigger bank account :)

I was getting sleepy and I needed to have a coffee to stay awake. So I decided to have a bunch of chocolate And that only worked for a lilttle while and then I fell asleep. But all is well now. Thanks :)

I’d love them all equally, loving CAT1 as much as CAT6, and I think I’d even be tempted to let them sleep on my bed :D . Of course I’d not actually do that because my bed would end up filled with cat fur BUT I know I’d want to :D . So, all that said, if you are a cat person, you totally understand where I’m coming from. And, if you are a dog person, you think I’m nuts LOL!!

My problem though is that I have no idea what kind I want. Big table or small? Loungers or regular chairs? Fireplace or just a low table with a candle at night? Should I get a swing for two?? (I do love those!). And, even if I can decide all of that, I still don’t know what material I should have it made of. I know that some of the cheap sets will rust after one season… sigh… Why does something so fun have to be so complicated?

Funny it’s occurring me that I have a whole other side of things to learn. Without hubby to just do all the “man things”, I have to recognize first what they are and second, I have to learn how to do them LOL!! That will be tricky with the electronics because I don’t know video cards from Christmas cards BUT I’ll figure this out ;) . I’m thinking of it as a challenge and I feel pretty good that I’ll come out of it just fine. Thank goodness for the internet and Google - I’ll just Google whatever I need to know and voila, my answer will appear :) Phew!

Have you ever had that happen when you are exhausted but the kids are still FULL of energy? That’s what’s happening to me right now. The kids have just finished a swim in the hottub and now their dad said that they can watch a movie! …yawn… He may have to put them to bed too ;)

One of the stores we picked was a lingerie store - I love the stuff! So I had lots of fun browsing and picking out stuff - with the sales girl always only a step or two behind my friend and I (I felt like she was stalking me and was getting really annoyed).

Finally I went into the changeroom and about 30 seconds after I went in, as I was getting undressed, the salesgirl popped her head in to tell me that if I needed anything to just let her know :shock: . Now, I know sales jobs aren’t the easiest jobs but it can’t be a mystery to anyone that people don’t like to have a stranger pop their head into the changeroom! Sheesh!!

I really don’t know why they vary so much and what it is that makes treadmills so different from each other - other than price.

I know that some of them don’t even have a motor; the belt just moves as you run (like you push it along with your feet). And, some of them have a lot of bells and whistles, but the ones in the middle price-range seem all the same to me! I wish it was easier to buy one. I guess though that I’ll just stick with the one with a good warrenty and the lowest price with all the whistles I want ;)

I find myself exhausted tonight and I really am looking forward to that warm fuzzy feeling that a glass of the yummy stuff brings along. So, enough typing - I’m off to pour some wine :P
