Some People Make Me Sick

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-07-24T16:53:47Z

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.

Gotta Love Star Trek!

For all those avid fans of the OLD SCHOOL Star Trek this video is hilarious to say the least!

Fleas Are Again Bad

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-07-10T23:20:00Z

Seems that when the hot weather hit hard so did the fleas. I feel so sorry for Star. She is scratching so bad. I forgot to order the Frontline Plus that she usually takes all year long and now they are back in full force.

I ordered it and really was hoping that it would arrive today but it didn't. I am guessing it will on Monday. I am going to give her and Sadie a bath using Dawn as I heard that it works well as a temporary fix. Plus with the heat they will like the bath!

I was going to have Jamie look for something along the lines of a home remedy but he was busy looking for weight loss supplements that work for Norm. And he needs it badly. haha

Anyway once the flea meds arrive Star will be back to her wonderful diva self!

Got Crabs? Sadie Does!

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-07-10T22:59:29Z

Awhile ago I gave Jeremy a box of McDonald & Burger King toys to play with in the Great Room. He loved taking them out of the box and rolling them all over the floor.

It didn't take Sadie long to start snagging the toys and hiding them from him under the dining room table. But one toy caught her fancy and she would not let go of. If Jeremy took the toy and put it in the box Sadie would pop into the box and take it back. She fell in love with this crab!

Now the crab is hidden and I cannot find it! But just like finding diet pills to take Sadie will come downstairs, pull the toy out of nowhere and start chewing on it!

Solar Eclipse Sunday

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-07-10T22:48:06Z

We have two events that are happening tomorrow. The first is the solar eclipse and the second is that of the New Moon.

With these two events coinciding you can bet there is going to be some heavy duty energies floating around. With the New Moon coming into effect it is now the time that we toss aside those old patterns, emotions and other trappings that hinders us in the present time. We need to take the time briefly grieve for those things that we hold onto that are no longer needed. Letting go of those preconceived notions of what could have or should have been. Cry, yell and let them go. Starting to feel that change is there and yes it is for the better.

With the solar eclipse comes the same thing. Using the power of the sun to renew our inner self. Letting those powerful rays to cleanse away all that negative energy that we have held onto.

We should utilize these two events to the fullest extent to further our lives. Facing that whatever we are holding onto is over and done with and nothing is going to change that. And even if it could be changed would we really want it back?

Tomorrow don't spend the time apidexin reviews spend it working on the inner you.

Remember toss, cry or laugh away what's been outgrown to seed a new garden of comfort and security.

Loud And Clear

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-07-10T22:35:52Z

Today I spent a large amount of time with a few students that are having a problem with path obstacles. Trying to explain about the process of enlightenment and how to try to stay on that path to which we all wish to achieve a higher level.

For hours I spent writing back and forth explaining and explaining. Finally, either they went to bed or they are coming up with something else for me to explain I took a break to do a casting.

Since I am trying a new method that the publishing company sent me I did not think it would really be all that great. The first board that I used I did understand and just laughed at. I decided to move onto the second board. The first cast was a little strange but I shrugged it off. Until I did the second casting. It hit me very hard and all I could do was laugh and say out loud 'OK I hear you now.' You see sometimes I am a little more than thick in the head at listening to my spiritual guides. Been hit a few times by them and I think this was a time I was struck. Nicely this time

The details are unimportant but all the discussions and words came to light. The students needed help that was a fact but what I was explaining made me think who I was really talking to. Enlightenment is something that is not achieved by just opening up a rfid blocking wallet it is more.

All those words, all those thoughts. Time to listen to what is being placed before me. With the help of this rather difficult casting procedure the light has come back on. A sensation of lightness came with this realization that I need to get back on my path once again full time as when I am on this path working with my spiritual guides my soul is light and soars with happiness.

I have to thank the students for their part in the madness of the day. They were the tools that were needed to hit me with the cosmic bat!

Hot! Hot! Hot!

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-07-08T18:58:51Z

The heat has really been turned up here. Yesterday was terrible that is for sure. When it is that hot of course it is really hard to sleep when the temperature has only dropped to the high 80's!

Staying up later than normal and working during the cooler hours is what I have been doing. Can't sleep might as well work and stay ahead of things. I did think about pulling out the sleep aid that I use when insomnia hits but saving that as a last resort.

But we do have cooler days coming up. It cooled down a bit today and we had a small thunder storm which watered our grass!

Looking forward in the cooler days of Fall that is coming up!

School Planning Already

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-07-08T18:54:31Z

Summer is flying by. It is now nearly mid July and thoughts of school has now entered into the thinking mix. Does not seem possible that the kids will return to school August 16th but they do.

With that in mind it is time again to buy school clothes. Which really is a never ending circle with the kids anyway.

I have already purchased a couple of shirts for Nicky so that is a start. One came today and he really did like it. Trying to find them unique things to start the school year with.

Of course then there is the school supplies, natural vitamins and other things that are needed. A little over a month to get all this done in.

Not a problem at all!

Heat Wave All Over

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-07-07T10:44:05Z

This past week has been horrid with all the heat waves that are going on. Our heat in the mid 90's is terrible with the added humidity. It seems that nobody any where is able to escape this retched heat.

We have a few more days of this and then it is supposed to cool down a bit. I am looking forward to that. I feel sorry for those that are on adipex p and having a hard time keeping up with drinking water and dieting!

The best thing to do is stay indoors where it is cool and wait till this heat wave ends. Hopefully it will soon!

4th of July Fun

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-07-07T10:39:44Z

Well, another 4th of July is behind us. All the planning and organizing paid off as everyone had a lot of food, fun and fireworks.

Fireworks lasted till 11PM and we had started early as the weather started to change and we started getting rain drops. Did not last long which was good. So that saved the firework display. haha

The boys had a bang up time firing them off. Each trying to out do the other.

We had our yearly basketball game and I will tell you that before I played I should have looked up insurance quotes as I ended up hurting my back. haha It was worth it and will probably do it again next year.

Holidays get bigger and more entertaining as the years go by!

Week Before the 4th Of July

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-06-26T20:59:22Z

I can hardly believe that the 4th of July is next weekend. For some reason I thought there was more time. Although I have been planning this party day for well over a month you think I would have realized when it was!

Now this week have to seriously make the list for what to get (as far as food) and how much. Each year seems to be more bodies here. haha

BB is going to make fried chicken, a cake and cup cakes. Yummy on all accounts there! Her chicken is very tasty!

Not looking forward in spending the money on the fireworks but I say that each and every year. There will be three of us getting fireworks so it won't be that bad.

While we are out and about on Friday taking care of the food and such I might have Shay look into a pulse oximeter as I may just need one spending the time with a couple of the people that will be there

Starting Monday it will be a count down of things to get finished before the big day!

Day Out

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-06-26T20:53:39Z

Instead of researching business continuity services today as I had planned to do we went out looking for garage sales instead. Boy, was I glad we did!

My favorite lady had a garage sale and she always has some wonderful craft items that she sells dirt cheap. In fact I still have a ton of things from the last time I made a visit at her sale!

This time I found a huge box of material, candle & soap making supplies and a bunch of old baseball cards. All for $10! What a deal especially on the baseball cards.

There is some really nice material in the box plus a lot of pre-cut quilting squares. I found the perfect material for my window on my landing which is light and breezy looking.

I still have to go through all the material and other things yet to see what all is really in there!

A great day out that is for sure. All thanks to BB wanting to go! Kudo's to BB!

Phase In, Phase Out

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-06-25T23:59:56Z

Lately things have been crazy busy with work. Seems that I do not have one second to think about anything at all. Which is a good thing really but in between those busy times I decided to do a few things that are needed to be put into action.

With eBay and the new TOS that they have imposed on sellers it is so ridiculous that many, and I mean many of the higher and lower sellers are packing up and leaving Dodge. One day you are a Power Seller the next you are not. You never know what you will wake up to any more.

Sales are steady but the fees are steadily going up and up for little to no justification. Many of my long time customers are leaving as well and have been ordering their supplies off the eBay site. So, the other day I finally got off my rear and started my new store front.

Sure has been a lot of work and I do not see that it will be completed and ready to rock and roll until mid July. I have to work on that in between the sales from my other store and other areas as well. Some days it feels like Cyber Monday and all the clients buy at one time!

I am actually enjoying the new project and once it is up and running will be able to enjoy it more once it starts making money and I can phase out eBay completely and shut my store down. Ah, I am so looking forward in that day!

Fun Filled Weekend

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-06-07T18:40:30Z

Last weekend was so much fun! It was our city wide garage sale and is much looked forward to by one and all.

Not to let the weather dampen anyone's spirit we all went out to seek those hidden treasures and look at the junk. haha

It did sprinkle off and on but just like the past few years people braved the rain and either set up or went out shopping.

The girls looked for baby and toddler clothes which this year seemed to be the year of the girl so boy clothes were a little harder to locate. They did walk away with a few great items though!

I found a lot of good buys as those people just wanted to get rid of the things because of the weather. I even got a home made peanut butter brownie that was yummy!!!

Good deals and great fun!

Duncan Growing So Fast!

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-30T09:41:00Z

Duncan has grown so fast! I can hardly imagine that it has been a month already. Time sure flies fast. He is the cutest little guy. My favorite thing is when he puckers his little bottom lip when he wants to cry. So darn cute!!!

Nothing like having babies around to giggle at! He looks around a lot and smiles at what appears to be nothing. Love to see the smiles that he does.

Grand babies are the best that is for sure!!!!

Well, I am off to read reviews for Norm on safe diet pills for her to take. Yes, he wants to see if they will work on loosing a little weight. Actually he needs to loose A LOT of weight but that is a different story all together!

Re-Organizination

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-30T09:33:59Z

Later today I will be in the work room re-organizing things. Now the room is small but boy after the winter it sure is a mess. I have things all over the place that I was to cold to put back in their proper places. At the time I knew it would make me mad but did not care!

After I get it back to normal then I will once again have all my oils and herbs in there where they belong. I am hoping that I will be able to set it up this summer to be able to use it in the winter instead of dragging things all over the place. I enjoy working in there to a point. The room throws off a weird vibe but I ignore it mostly. haha

I started a list of things that I need to do in there and get rid of. Also a list of things to buy to make it easier to find things. While out and about I need to buy diet pills for Trevor as he says he needs them. The guy is a stick figure! I think he was joking really so I might find some cheap ones as a joke to get for him.

Today is another re-organization day. If I get it completed today I can mark that off my list of projects for the summer!

Memorial Weekend

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-30T09:28:26Z

Don't you just love a three day weekend? I know I do as there is no shipping to do which makes for a relaxing three days for me. Although with the three days that means more people are off and my orders are piling up and up Love it, hate it, can not make up my mind!

We do not do a lot on this holiday at all. We will all get together for a family BBQ on Monday to kick off the official start of the BBQ season. I was going to invite Norm but decided that I did not want to spend an entire day listening to him whine and complain about the acne treatment that is not working for him. The man has issues so we will just leave it at that.

Today I might make the potato salad so the seasonings will seep through it and taste better on Monday. Trevor I think is pretty excited to be BBQing as he has been talking a lot about doing it.

Other than that it has been a nice relaxing holiday weekend!

Summer Touch Up's

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-30T09:23:28Z

Along with summer comes along the home improvements and touch ups from the long, freezing winter. The first thing that I did this past week was completely clean the Great Room & family room. The Great Room takes nearly a full day to do and I still have to take down the drapes for cleaning.

I have already cleaned the kitchen & family room windows and drapes. I was surprised that they turned out so well. I always worry when cleaning the drapes for some reason.

One thing that is on my list for the GR is new Minka lighting as the room is so dark. We have overheads and table lamps but I want a more softer lighting system towards the staircase.

When I mentioned the installing of new lights you should have heard the groans! haha I gave them a month in advance warning to prepare!

I still have a few more drapes and windows to clean which I will do this coming week. Lucky me!!!

Black Ant Invasion

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-30T09:19:26Z

When we first moved here we found that we had these HUGE black ants that were coming in the house from who know where. Poison was used and we were not bothered by them for a couple of years.

Last night while watching TV in the Great Room I saw three of those pests. Where there are three there are more. I added ant poison to my list along with a prescription of Lipofuze to get while I am out.

These ants are huge and they do bite or sting. With Jeremy toddling around I do not want him to get bitten by one of those. And of course I sure do not want to either!

This coming week it will be off to my favorite store Lowe's to pick up some ant poison for the entire yard. That will teach them from coming in the house!!

Chores, Chores and More Chores

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-30T09:16:27Z

For the past two weeks or so I have begun to update my summer tasks that need to get done before October. There are so many that I can hardly believe it!

One thing that I wanted to look into for Shaina was the diet supplement that she wanted to take. She needs more information on it I think

So far this list of mine is growing by leaps and bounds. Each day I find one more thing to add to it. Which by doing this adds to the chores that everyone has to do! They just love it when I do that! haha

School Year Coming To A Close

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-30T09:11:45Z

Only a week and a half left of school here for the kids. I think that I am almost as excited as they are to see school end!

I really enjoy the time that they are out for many reasons. The biggest reason is that they are home more and we can do a lot of things that we normally can not do during the year but another important thing is that we have no real schedule. No alarm clocks!!!

With the boys being able to stay up later it gives me more time to look into things like term life insurance as this is something I generally put off!

June 9th is the last day. WooHoo!

Friday Night Auction Fun

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-15T07:36:26Z

Last night Shay and I went to the Friday night auction that they have here in town. I have not been there for a good couple of months so I thought why not go take a look?

The boys and Norm tagged a long for something to do as well. Norm was rambling on and on about how low his credit score was which I turned a deaf ear on and focused on what was there.

I ended up buying nearly a truck load of things for the low price of $19.80. Yep the back of his truck was packed with boxes of all kinds of things that will go into my storefront over the next few weeks. As much as I hate dealing with glassware it does make money so I had to do it! haha

The auction was still going when we left. I got tired of looking at the food they were selling. I mean who would buy cheese & ham at an auction? Answer to this a lot of people. Nasty is what that is. Hot and not refrigerated. Yuck!

It ended up a good evening

On The Lookout

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-15T07:32:04Z

This weekend is going to be a pretty nice one weather wise. I am really hoping that there are a few garage sales that will be open. We all love the season when it first opens up. You never know what you will find.

This year I am adding to my list of hopefully finding of some good looking office furniture for the office (duh!). Not that I will find it but you never know. I need another filing cabinet and a couple of shelving units.

Last year I saw those cabinets all over the place so this year there will be none out there at all!! But I added that to my list anyway!

Wild Weather

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-15T07:24:05Z

This past Thursday or actually it was Friday morning around 1AM or so the weather here was wild!

I received a text around 1am stating that we were on a tornado watch for our area. OK, great I tossed my phone back on the table, turned over and started to go back to sleep. No sooner doing this Shay came up and said the sirens were going off. Now this is a bit more serious than a text. Not by much but you still listen and heed the warning.

I woke Nicky up telling him to get dressed and go down to the great room. Everyone started doing small things just in case something did happen. Jamie was tracking the storm on the map making sure he knew where it was and giving updates.

Trev was talking about his new radar thing that he bought and was giggling over Shay being so upset! haha Colton slept through the entire thing. Since he was already on the first floor there was no sense waking him up.

The storm was pretty wild but after having the alarm go off three times it ended well. No tornado and no damage. The worst part was trying to go back to sleep. I started to read one of my new books and that helped to pass the time.

New Repeat Buyers Treat

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-12T11:20:09Z

One thing that I have begun to really push with new and return customers is that I offer a reward card towards their next purchase. Most of the customers are thrilled to see this as they figure every little bit adds up especially when their orders mount up to over $100.

Helping your repeat buyers save money on ordering through you brings them back. Each one will feel rewarded (excuse the pun there) by the reward card that you issue them.

I like to give my good and new customers a little something for all that they give me!

Booming Business

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-12T11:15:58Z

The witchcraft and other products that the store sells has been booming. My filing is now backed up and nearly hitting the top of the shelf. I am wondering how much more I can stack before it all falls down. haha

Orders are steady and keeping me more than busy. Of course a few of the orders have been a pain to do as I really dislike the sampler pack that I put out but hey its money, right?

Each night I run off the new sales for the next morning and wake to more. Am I complaining? No way! The only way that I would complain is if one of the family had to look for Lipovox and that is not happening at all!

All and all this month has been a healthy order month and it is not even half way through yet! Hope it continues that is for sure.

Dodgeball Monday

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-12T11:10:46Z

Monday Colton and his friends played in the schools dodge ball tournament. Each team had to play until they were eliminated. The names of the teams were pretty funny.

Colton and his friends name was the Krazy Knockout Krew. Which they went by the KKK. An African American boy on the team was one of the boys to think this name up. Oh yea there were a couple others that were just about as racist as that. haha All in good fun and the school went a long with it.

Colton and his team did not make the semi finals but made a good attempt at it.

Most of the kids were sitting around eating greasy foods and candy. Later on I bet they wonder is the best acne treatment there is to buy! All that junk food will end up on hips and faces

Liquid Sunshine

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-12T11:06:59Z

While it may be spring here in Indiana we receive the bulk of the rainy weather in the spring and summer. Our winds are howling and it is once again raining.

Of course it makes it great to water the lawns so we do not have to do that manually and pay for the water. A major plus there.

Since today is another of those chilly and wet days it makes it a great day to stay inside and actually do a little research on a epson receipt printer that I actually need for the store. Sure would make life a little simpler having one!

Spring Sing

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-05-04T20:10:36Z

Tonight was Nicky's Spring Sing. They have this every year. Last year was very long, drug out and pretty good! So this year all that would be going had the thought that it would be another very long play or sing.

Not at all! The play started promptly at 6:30PM and ended at 6:55PM. Now that was wonderful!

All the kids did a wonderful job singing about the solar system. Although I was disappointed that they did not do more jokes about Uranus it was still a thrill to see Nicky up there singing and shaking around!

Home Projects

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-04-29T09:59:25Z

Once all the excitement dies down it will once again be time to pick up the hammer and nails and proceed with the summer home projects.

One of the things on the list is to replace the kitchen sink. I am so tired of looking at the old one that I decided to re-vamp and look at the newer styles.

I fell in love with the stone sinks that I saw so I am leaning towards that. Either in the kitchen or in the bathroom. One way or the other I am definitely going to have one of those! They are gorgeous!!!

Duncan Is Here!

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-04-29T09:16:17Z

On April 28th at 1:08 PM Mister Duncan Frasier arrived! Weighing in at a whopping 7 pounds 6 ounces and 20 inches long. And seemingly full of attitude!

He is one of the cutest babies! Mom did a wonderful job during the labor and delivery. Dad was supportive and totally in control of things. Both did a fabulous job.

Everyone came to see them yesterday at the hospital. Boy they got a nice room to stay in as well I might add. Looks more like a hotel room than a hospital room.

BB, Jamie and Duncan are expected to come home sometime Friday afternoon. Everyone is so excited for that!!!!

Mid Afternoon Walk

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-04-22T12:23:58Z

Each day we usually take a mid afternoon walk. Sometimes the conversations are a little on the wild side.

Today Trev went with us so the entire way up to the end point he complained, complained and yes, complained even more. His complaints were on nothing particular just about anything that seemed to pop into his mind. Driving everyone crazy. All done in good fun so we sort of excuse it. haha

On the way back home Jamie began talking about car insurance and hoping theirs would be lowered during the re-newal period.

Yes, we have some pretty exciting conversations to say the least

Review Those Reviews

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-04-22T08:31:17Z

Have you ever noticed that when you are looking into something and reading certain web sites reviews that they are never stating anything bad about the product? Each and every person that uses the product adores it or has had great results.

Although when you dig deeper you find that the product is really not all that good. Usually this happens when the site is actually sponsoring the product and getting a kick back on it somehow and that is why the negative reviews are left out.

One reason this comes to mind is in searching on the product prevera and finding this type of result. Although there are many sites that openly rave about the product most are in the neutral zone so you will have to figure it out if it is right for you. I would rather see neutrals than all positive only to find out later that these were false reviews!

Summer Dieting Woes

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-04-22T08:27:38Z

Summer is right around the corner and the first thing that comes to a lot of people's minds is dieting. One of my GF's emailed me the other day and was expressing her displeasure over her weight due to all her summer clothes are fitting snuggly. I cleaned this up a bit as to what she really said but the point remains the same. Over the winter the pounds were packed on and now to remove it!

One thing that she said she was going to look into was that of the fat burners that work that she has read about. A long with a good diet and exercise plan this may just work for her.

Of course that would mean she has to put the twinkies away for the next few months. Yea, like that is going to happen!!! hahaha

Colton & Complaining

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-04-22T08:24:53Z

The past week all Colton has been doing is complaining. I swear he has more complaints bout this, that and the other than Carter has pills.

This week his complaint has been with the acne medication that he has been using. He now does not like the smell. I told him if he would stop eating all the junk he has been eating he wouldn't have to use the medicine. He just looked at me.

I guess he would rather suffer with the smell than to suffer without the delicious snacks that he has been getting from his GF Megan. haha

Mother's Day Coming Up

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-04-22T08:19:44Z

Can you believe that Mothers Day is almost here? BB will be able to claim a gift or card this year with Duncan being born before the 9th of May.

Nicky was asking me what I wanted and I said the normal nothing. So he throws in he would like to get me one of those custom mugs with his picture on it. He saw an ad on the internet for one of these and thought it would be a 'cool' idea. I just smiled and said Wow, that would be nice. Knowing full well this was not going to happen!

By the time MD rolls around he will have made something even more special at school for me. Which I will like a lot better than a mug with his mug on it

Outdoor Projects

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-04-20T16:16:01Z

We have been making the plans on what to do this year for the yard. Each year there is something new and improved that we do so this year is no different.

Trevor and I have been discussing the outdoor décor and he wants to build a deck outside before the 4th of July so we can use it for the family/friend event that we have.

We were going to do that last year but other things came about so that ended that. A new deck would be great really to just sit on and relax. Plus a lot better than sitting in the yard at times. Although sitting under the trees is always so soothing.

So a new deck is the summer project this year. One of many new projects actually!

One More Week

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-04-20T16:12:26Z

Well, it looks like no baby for at least another week. That is unless Duncan decides that he is going to come on his own. Which I do hope he does. Otherwise, they will schedule an induction for next Tuesday.

So the remainder of this week everyone will be staring at BB asking her yet more 'How do you feel's?' haha

At least she is taking some time off from work to relax and just do nearly nothing. A good thing really because she will need a lot of that energy when the little monster does finally get here!!!!

Blast Off

Big Delivery Day

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-04-08T16:32:28Z

The crate FINALLY arrived for Sadie. I ordered this over a month ago and it has now just arrived. First the UPS dock worker sent it back for reasons unknown. Calling the company they said they would send out another one. OK, whatever. Another email tells me that they will not be able to ship it to be until the 22nd as it is now 'back ordered'. Annoyed is far from the word that I would use to explain the emotion that I felt but that is cleaning it up a bit.

Today a lot of the things that I ordered within the last two weeks seem to arrive all in one day-today. The two summer dresses arrived and they are both so cute. We went from 84 degrees to 46 degrees again. Guess what are now hanging up waiting for warmer days? haha I love skirts and dresses in the spring and summer.

The rest was supplies that are not very exciting but needed. With the dogs just calming down from barking and yapping at the postal lady a knock again at the door. The dogs start in all over again.

Much to my surprise it is that darn crate that has been all over the place. Well, except here. At least it came earlier than the 22nd. Guess I will put that together over the weekend. Another project just what I wanted!

Happy Easter!

Another Easter is upon us. Not one of my favorite holidays but the kids love it.

Last night the baskets were made so that is out of the way. Pretty soon have to go downstairs and start the potatoes and dress the ham up. Plus do some light cleaning before company gets here. At least I do not have to climb up and make sure the chandeliers are clean! Boy, that is a big job to do. Especially with all the construction that has once again started in the Great Room.

This is a picture of Jeremy in his suit for Easter. What a doll!!

Hope everyone has a great Easter!

New Household Member

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-03-28T06:59:26Z

Well, after a few delays here is the newest member to the household. I have named her Sadie and she is so tiny it is unreal. As you can see by the first picture she is barely a hand length!

She is so full of energy it is unbelievable. Poor Star does not know what to do with her other than to growl and snap at her. Last night though she did do better and played a little letting Sadie jump on her. But when she was done playing she let her know it! I give it a week or so before they start running around and really getting into trouble. Once the weather is a lot better I will start taking the girls out for walks in the warm air. Then people better watch out! These two are something else and they might need roadside assistance to help them get out of their cars they will be so afraid! hahaha

Here are a couple of other pictures of Sadie that Shay took for me.

People Are Amazing

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-03-24T06:48:36Z

One thing is for certain if you sell on eBay for a long enough period of time you will soon come to terms that not all customers you get are nice people. Heck, some are not even stable and you might wonder how they are allowed to run loose on the streets without being medicated. They can have stories that will make you laugh, mortify and simple amaze you.

Then of course you get to the feedback that may show a persons real colors. Take for example the person that will purchase something then post that shipping was to high in their opinion. Hmm, yet you bought it thinking it was to high? Why would you do something that foolish? There are thousands of other sellers, do a search to find that idiot seller that has miscalculated shipping. OR they knock the seller on the DSR stars. The one I like the most, a seller has free shipping AND they mark them for having to high of shipping. Now, how is that possible to be to high when it is FREE?

I hate to repeat myself but it is nearly always the lower rating people that do this type of thing. Either they have a power complex or they just do not know what they are doing yet. Personally, after reading not only my messages or feedback postings but other sellers feedback's I think they are morons.

After you start reading and reading you will see my point. Why is that they will give negative's or neutrals yet give praise in the posting? Does that make sense? Nope, but they do.

I just had one customer that tried to tell me that the postage was unpaid and that the two (both items were under 2 oz.) packages had a higher postage rate than they unpaid amount that was sent. How can it be unpaid? AND if the mail person came to you with an envelope that was lighter than air telling you it was nearly $4 in postage that was not paid wouldn't you say something like WHY?? or go to the PO and have them explain why this is?

I told the customer in great detail about the price, weight and that this was even checked my the PO branch and that there is no way that was right. Apparently they wanted me to cough up $8 for shipping. Yea, right. After explaining in detail have yet to hear from them.

Takes all kinds of people to make this world and you will meet those 'kinds' selling on eBay.

Busy Weekend

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-03-18T21:40:11Z

This weekend will be full of things to do. I have 100 powders and 100 oils to make for one order alone. All other orders are sitting here waiting to be sent out or paid for.

After starting that there is the inventory of oils and powders to look over in the store to make sure that all titles are there. I hate doing that. Soooo boring!

Then of course there is the 63 questions yet to get out of the way. Hoping that I can whip that out in a day or two. With Spring break and the boys going to fat asses it should be easy to do. Go to bed late and still have to wake up early to do reviews.

I have a project to do as well. I am making one of those dog potty things that I saw. I will take pictures and explain that as it goes along being made. By the time I get everything done this weekend I certainly will not need sleeping pills to help me sleep!

Oh well at least business is good and it keeps me out of trouble

New Addition Arrives Friday

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-03-18T21:33:41Z

Friday there will be a new arrival and addition to the ever expanding household. Now, this arrival is a chihuahua & terrier mix pup that is so cute! He is smaller than what Star was so that will be interesting to see. Also he is a short hair while the diva is long. What a difference that will be! I guess I will have to look into hair loss treatments for the guy. haha Only kidding.

I ordered a crate for him this evening. I do not want him running loose while I am gone on errands and get stuck somewhere upstairs. That would be a nightmare!!

I hope that Star will be OK with him. Oh, she will be jealous really bad but maybe she will like a little fella she can punk!

Week Coming To A Close

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-03-18T07:56:48Z

The week has actually gone by pretty quickly. I can always tell when it is Thursday though by the things that happen first thing in the morning getting Nicky ready for school.

Telling him all week long after school to change his pants did not work. There is a mud pit in a field where they all play and of course where there is mud kids are attracted like magnets. Each day pants and boots are crusted with mud. Of course changing his pants is just a no go so he has to have new jeans each day. Not a problem as he has 6 pairs. Then Thursday comes along. The pants laid out all of a sudden do not fit. Instead of telling me (I asked him repeatedly what was wrong) the problem he grunted and groaned like he was dying or using a blackhead extractor !

Each Thursday something is lost, does not fit, or whatever happens. Kids are dragging and look like something the cat drug in. Now Friday they will be full of piss and vinegar as it is Friday and the start of their Spring break.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-03-17T17:36:30Z

For a St. Patrick's Day this one has just been off. I forgot to wear green so of course my monsters took advantage of this totally. They all wore green so there was no chance of my sneaking in even one pinch. Maybe next year

Not having corn beef as I forgot to purchase any. Thought about it a couple of weeks ago but figured that I would have time to buy it. Oh well! I think I am the only one that likes it here anyway. For dinner we are having chili dogs instead. It is a karate night and something quick and easy much like going to www.quickweightloss.org and taking a peek at all the great things they have is like!

So for all those that celebrated St. Paddy's Day as it should have been done I tip my hat!

Dinner With The Family

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-03-14T17:17:12Z

Last night was a real treat. All the kids were home for a Saturday night taco fest. Even Shay and Trev were there!!! It was really nice to have them all in the kitchen doing one thing or the other. Either helping with the cooking or complaining that the cooking was not going quick enough. haha It was fun to hear some of the bizarre things that they all came up with.

After dinner Trev threaten to light up a tatuaje but then stated he did not have any. Instead he went up for some of his chaw.

Shay came upstairs to join us in movie night. Nicky and I had it all planned to watch the season premier of Taps and let me tell you it was terrible. I think that was one of the worst shows they have ever had. All three of us complained, ate snacks for nearly an hour and a half.

All and all it was a nice Saturday.

Cold Snap

nospam@example.com (Pandora) — 2010-03-14T17:12:51Z

Well, we all knew that it would not last very long. Our weather is back to being cold.Not the cold that your teeth chatter and nearly fall out but the cold that makes you want to cuddle up under your blanket and do nothing.

Of course with the rains and the nice sized thunder storm we had that made the change a little more interesting

Warmer weather on the horizon so that is a huge relief. With today being so chilly I did take the time to read over an infinity auto insurance review that was helpful and filled with information.

Let's just hope that the warm weather hurries and returns!
