We’ve had a very trying month.  We’ve had what some would call bad luck, I prefer to think of this month as a learning experience.  Through many trials comes much learning.

A month ago, our sweet kitty died.  We’ve had issues with our house, which cause problems with not enough money to go around…etc..etc.  The worst part of the last month is that our dear friend Danny passed away.   He died on July 7th at his home.  It was completely unexpected.  Surprisingly, and unfortunately, our cousins husband was killed the next day in Afghanistan. 

Our family is going through some rough times right now, but we’ll make it through.

Oh yes..and I’m not on my laptop right now.  A few days ago I went to turn it on and it crashed.  Luckily I won’t lose much because I do back things up every couple of weeks…but I was behind in making back ups due to the funeral, etc.  Some are pictures, but thankfully aren’t anything that couldn’t be reproduced.  :-) I will be backing all pictures up as I upload them from now on. I lost probably 200 pictures that could have been saved had I backed them up immediately or printed them.

It’s that time of year I enjoy the most…just past fathers day and just before my oldest sons birthday.  The longest time span in the year that I have no one to buy for, no one to hold a party for, etc. 

Just before my sons birthday is my birthday…and I’m already working on my wish list to give anyone who makes the mistake of asking me what I would like for my special day!  ;-)

A few things that come to mind: a new car, a new house (let’s get the really big ones out of the way first), a new laptop, luxury watches, a persian kitten, a cairn terrior puppy….boy, this list could go on forever!

What I really want is a few minutes of peace…a few minutes in which my children wait on me, my husband cooks my dinner and I can sit in the living room and watch whatever I want on TV without someone pointing out that they don’t like whatever it is on the screen!

Can I have that?? Even for only a little while….

I used to think I would actually enjoy a trip to Las Vegas.  I’m sure now that I probably wouldn’t.  I love history…old history…like the history of this Country…I don’t like gambling or shows.

But…there are many who would enjoy Vegas and all it has to offer. You need to find a way to get there, hotels in las vegas, transportation while you’re there and, of course, a way to get home!

So go…have fun in Vegas and don’t worry about me! I’ll stick to my trips to Washington, DC, Alabama, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Oklahoma…etc…etc..etc…

Have fun!!

We have a lot of furniture to sell. Desks, bookcases, coffee tables, refrigerators, stoves and more. We’re having a hard time getting them all sold. We haven’t been asking too much for them…I think people just don’t have the extra money right now..so they’re just making do with what they have, unfortunately for me!

I have used cheapcycle (a great local mail group in which we can sell or buy things) and a yard sale. I guess my next step is placing an ad in the paper.
