Pandora's Casket

With Colton's birthday nearing, as I am told every day now, he has proceeded to begin his gift giving ideas to me.

Number one on his list is a TV. The next idea that he has is a camcorder for the web videos that he and his friends make for the web. Yes, they are just wonderful artistic endeavors.

So I have started in doing digital camcorder reviews to see which one in fact would be the best at a low price for a 16 year old.

Thankfully there are many digital camcorders to choose from so it won't be hard to actually locate something that he will like and find easy to use.

I never would have thought that he would want a camcorder to do anything! When he told me that my jaw actually dropped. I knew the TV was on the list but camcorder's ? No way!!

Luckily he gave me his list a few weeks in advance of his birthday to find the right one for him. Sifting through the reviews though is a pain!

This has been a busy, busy week. I am certainly glad it is over.

Work has been crazy busy, which is always a blessing but at times very overwhelming. I am still filling the orders and hoping to finish them all between today and Monday. Took a bit off with IC in order to focus on one thing instead of scattering energies here and there so that helped a lot.

Our aged fridge started making a noise one afternoon sounding like the tornado alarm here in town. Shay was home alone when it started and I guess it scared her. haha When we arrived home it was apparent it was getting ready to die. BB, Jamie and Shay took matters in hand and said they were going to get a new one for the house. They did the research, pricing and the next day bought a fridge that they knew I would love. It is gorgeous. I was going to buy one but when they said they were going to do it and the look that I got from them, well, it was safer to go along with them. haha I have great kids no doubt about it.

Boys are all registered for school and ready to go. Registrations this year went smooth and no crowds at all. Loved that!

To end the week on a good note, Trevor got off work early yesterday and wanted to take us out to our favorite Mexican restaurant. Shay and the boys were gone so it was just the 5 of us and it was so much fun!

A really busy week filled with tons of things to do that is for sure. Now this week looks about the same but I am going to squeeze in looking for wholesale handbags to see if I can find a black purse for this winter. haha

For the second day or should I say night in a row we have been hit with unusually harsh thunder storms. Last night the storm lasted nearly an hour with the lights going off numerous times. The lightening at times made the sky look purple. One person in Marion or Muncie said the sky looked pink from all the lightening. It was the worst one that we have ever had since we have moved here.

Now tonight we are getting a repeat. Lightening all over the place and the thunder is loud and close enough to rock the house.

One thing is for sure I am worried about Trevor and Shay as they are both on the roads. Different places but all the same. I guess if anything happens we can call a friend that can tow cars and also rv towing so they will be fine.

Wicked storms until 2AM. Going to be another long night.

Today I was reading something that just pissed me off to no end at all. Ever know someone that will say the cruelest, most viscous things about people but to someone else's face will try to come off as this caring wonderful person?

That just makes me want to throw up in my mouth. IF you have no use for some people & talk smack about them why even try to be nice because you basically are not that way. Trying to come off as a nice, understanding person all the while just mean and hateful behind their backs.

IF you don't like people then just don't try to be caring. I don't know when I don't like someone I do not talk to them. No matter what I stay out of their lives. Doesn't matter the situation; death. life, suicide staying out of it.

Maybe that is what toxic people do though. Try to make their selves to be high and mighty yet they are so tiny and insignificant that nothing they do really makes them any less toxic.

You can not be a saint when you are possessed by the devil.
