I can proudly say I have finished almost all of my Christmas shopping. I have exactly 4 presents left to get. Everything else has been picked out, picked up or ordered for delivery. Yes, my friends, this is a new record.
I want to take Alex this weekend to get Christmas pictures done […]

Anytime a consumer is researching products, the first thing they will notice are the ones that say FREE. A free checking account is a handy thing to have. I have looked into WaMu several times and they definitely have caught my interest. The only reasons I haven’t switched is the ATM locations and […]

One of the things I really want to do with Alex is to go hiking. Not mountain climbing, just simple hiking. Day trips and stuff like that. There are plenty of places around here to do it too, its just a matter of lacing up your hiking boots and going.
Getting the right […]

I was reading a website and it had tips for things to do with kids on a weekend for little to no money.
One of the things it suggested was to find the open house listings for luxury homes and then go to the viewings and take tours of the homes.
Um. Yeah. While I can understand […]

Its already that time. I need to get pictures taken for the Christmas Cards this year. Last year’s cards came out so good, it will be hard to top it.
There is a Christmas cards scholarship contest underway. The contest is to design Christmas cards for businesses. We’ve all gotten them, maybe from a […]

I just got to know my neighbors that are moving out. They are way cool people. I am even sorrier now they are moving. They gave Alex a Little tikes climbing slide thingie for outside. Alex and their son played for almost 2 hours in their empty house.
There is a part feral cat that adopted […]

Mervyn’s and Kohls are both doing huge sales tomorrow and I think I might try to head over there on my lunch hour. Maybe I can find some clothes for Alex at […]

I want a vacation. Ok wait. Scratch that. I NEED a vacation. I want warm tropical paradise. I want sand and water. I want relaxation and no cell phones. I want a resort getaway like Buena Viva Exeter.
I would be so awesome to take off for the holidays and […]

I was looking at alternative careers today. I came across some bizarre ones. Ones that never in a million years would I think were out there. Things like being a professional Pooper Scooper. Uh yeah. Ew. No offense to anyone that is a pro poop remover.
Other ones like being a […]

Its just been a crappy day. Or at least the entire morning. I hate it when days start out like that. It means that even if the afternoon and evening are good, the yucky feelings from the morning linger.
Days like today make me want to take off and run. They remind me what a runner […]

It seems like the only kid I write about anymore is Alex. I need to have a whole post dedicated just to Freedom, my first son. Freedom is a mix that I adopted from the SPCA 8.5 years ago. I went there looking for a dog and well, he picked me. […]

Since buying the new car, I have been searching high and low for the best deal on car insurance. My current policy will nearly double in cost if I stay with them. Seems kind of absurd to me given I have been with them for awhile now. Especially since I found […]

I’m sick now too. I feel like I am trying to hack a furball that won’t come out. Its one of those tickle in the back of my throat that if I could fit a stick down there without gagging I would be scratching.
Alex and I had a great “do nothing” day. […]
