Housing for seniors

January 27th 2012 19:00
Boy, I don't know about other places, but I have to tell you, where I am, there is an amazing amount of Housing for seniors. I'm really happy about that since it won't be that long when I will be a real senior. It seems that every day on the news they are talking about a new place. Many of them are really cool, with all kinds of amenities like swimming pools, shopping and one even has a bowling alley. Pretty cool I think.

Snowboard Gear

January 27th 2012 18:57
I have to say that I love both of my sons to death and I feel like I did a good job (well I should say "we", my husband and I) did a good job raising them. They are both hard workers and they are kind and good people. However, somehow we screwed up when it comes to money. Both of them are big spenders. Every time they decide to do anything they buy all the stuff that goes with it and trust me the buy the best stuff. Then they may never do whatever it was again. What a waste. My one son just bought a ton of snowboard gear for one trip. My guess is that he will never go again after this trip.

I want to learn

January 27th 2012 18:53
Years ago when I was a young teen, I took guitar lessons. I remember it was a bit frustrating because I just wanted to play songs, not pick at notes. Anyway, I did get to where I could play some folk songs and that made me happy.

Now, though I am really trying to learn the piano. I have one and it is beautiful but guess what? It is just as frustrating trying to learn to play it. Plus I don't think I am very coordinated. I find it hard to have two hands doing two different things. Oh well

New project

January 22nd 2012 18:49
I knew we couldn't go very long without a new project. This past year we replaced all of the windows in our house and we had a sunroom built. I thought we were done and was happy to be done.

But of course, as always, something else came up. For some reason our sidewalks are really deteriorating. My husband called to see what it was going to cost to get it taken out, it was crazy. Now he is going to do it. He has to go rent a jackhammer and some concrete blades. Here we go.

I still like gadgets

January 22nd 2012 18:23
Oh I love gadgets so much! I used to really keep up on all the latest. If there was a new gadget I usually got it within a year much to my husband's dismay.

However, now that I am older and retired, I can't seem to come up iwth enough excuses to justify keep up with all the latest electronic things. I really want a tablet like the blackberry playbook, but I already have a computer and a laptop so my husband is really resistant. I have also been looking at blackberry phones but again, my husband's question is "why?" I guess he's right, but it's killing me.

The Holidays were great

January 11th 2012 17:45
Well we are eleven days into the New Year and that makes me happy.

My holidays were great this year. My son has a girlfriend who has children so it was awesome having the sound of children playing and fighting around! Truly I loved it! I think it was good for them too because my husband and I went crazy buying them gifts! I forgot how much fun it was to buy toys

I'm sick of politics

December 31st 2011 16:11
Oh lord, its another election year coming up! Where does the time go? I hate politics because there is nothing good about it for regular people. It seems like a game show to me.

I want to be a good citizen and vote and support these people but every year it has become increasingly more difficult. I think I'm going to sign up for netflix or something just so I don't have to watch everyone air dirty laundry about everyone else

All I want for Christmas

December 23rd 2011 23:38
Well, only two more days until the big day! Yay! I'm excited. I love Christmas, which you all already know. But, I am also excited because I think my mom got me a bunn coffee maker. I have a coffee maker but I always wanted a bunn because they brew so fast. It was no big deal, just something I wanted. However, this morning when I got up, my coffee maker was dead. Crap! I had to go to the coffee shop to get some coffee. So, I am anxious to get my gift.

Christmas Displays

December 23rd 2011 23:32
I love Christmas time so much because everything just looks so beautiful! Everywhere you go there are lights and decorations. Even going grocery shopping is a treat for the eyes. There are colorful special displays every way you look and I just love it. I know it sounds hokey but I just can't help it. Today I went to a store and saw the coolest pop display. It was pop in a sleigh and it just looked so cute! My friends all laugh at me for my Christmas fetish, but I just blame my parents because they were real Christmas freaks too!

Times are hard

December 3rd 2011 15:41
I'd really like to know when things will get better. I'm okay...I have a job (at least for now) and I have a roof over my head as well as food on the table. However, this is not the case for many. It really depresses me when I watch the news. There are so many more homeless people, unemployed people and even people who once owned successful businesses on the brink of failure. I'm sure those payday loan places are making a bundle as well as the places who offer unsecured business loans. During this holiday season, I hope everyone takes a minute to be thankful for what they have and to give at least one thing to someone who doesn't have what they need. Happy Holidays!
