What to get a old man

Dad birthday is this week, and I am not sure what to get him, maybe I can look for something cool on a
online auction, or I go to one of our art stores. Dad really likes coloring or watching me paint by numbers so I could do that, the end of the month we are going down south so maybe we can tell him that his present. I have no clue what to get him or what he will enjoy. He seems to be happy with his coloring, I got him coloring that has the black soft stuff on it a couple weeks ago and he does that a lot so maybe that will be the best thing. He will be 88 years old. So this is good. If he lives to 90 we will have to throw him a big bash. I know some of my friends feel birthday are not important or ought not to be celebrated but I just disagree with this. I think it important to celebrate our birth to some extent because G-d gave us a other year and because I lost my father at 17 years old and will never get to celebrate another year with him.
So dad birthday is important, so is my hubby birthday.

What a day

I think I started my day off badly, and I am sure nature agrees with me. First, I wake up and noticed dad checkbook was not in my wallet, where it was for the casino. I looked everywhere and was about to be late for work. So I lift, after looking in all my normal places. I called the casino and lift a message; next I called my bank and made sure nothing was happening on his account. That was in the clear but I ended up starting work a little late. I got off work and still no call from the casino, so I called them back, and finally got to the right security guard to help me find out. They did not have the checkbook. Then I started warning that maybe I got pick pocket and didn’t realized it because I had moved dad checkbook out of my wallet at one point because it was pinching me. I was worried. My kids today decided to try to booger me, what a lovely day I had, don’t get me wrong work went great. My kids were happy just happens when kids get boogers and stuff and it not they met too.
After work, I called the Casino and was transferred to the correct extension. They did not have my checkbook there which is not good. I was pretty upset because I had 3 options the banker told me this morning and none of them I liked very much. I called my husband to see if he saw it and he hadn’t seen it. I came home and started looking, to make sure maybe I laid it down somewhere without realizing it I often do put the checkbook away. I couldn’t find it in any of my normal places, and I was starting to get upset. I went to the bathroom, and just happen to look in the bathtub. The checkbook was right there. Okay, how did that happen I need a custom mugs that says will lose things in the weirdest places.
Well I found it and felt a lot better so I decided I would walk the dog. Maybe I should have stayed home today. It was a beautiful day, but the birds decided it was poop bomb the girl with the dog. Okay people with long thin hair, this is not a fun thing to get out of your hair. By the time I had gotten home it mostly dried up and I had bird pooh all over my hair, and on my clothes.

Don’t you dare put one more thing on this desk

I need to find my dad plaque that said, “ Don’t you dare put one more thing on this desk. My desk is looking like a tornado got to it. We recently got the desk in the office furniture section of Wal-mart. The desk is wonderful I am very happy with it, it matches the book shelf, entertainment center, and little cabinet for holding cds. I finally have my printer on the desk and a space for the computer, and my monitor fits on it nicely. Since I have a drawer for the keyboard and mouse I can have it set up for left hand. My last desk I couldn’t fit nothing on it other than my monitor and had my keyboard and mouse on top of it.

Wow this is taking forever

I got Window 7 yesterday in the mail. I was happy about it but I have to say it took me over seven hours to get it to upgrade my computer. I think Window7 on my laptop was harder to finish then putting together a elliptical machines. It took forever finally after deleting 2 programs it worked! I had to delete itunes out and some thing that the computer used in vista but that’s okay.
W7 tried telling me to upgrade my graphics card on the laptop but I am happy with my laptop graphics card so I will probably leave it be unless something comes up. The third time I tried to install Window7 which was at the point where I was wishing I would have gotten a clean copy of W7 and ready to throw it out the window. Heres what I found out. If you are running a 32 bit system then the upgrade has to be a 32bit system. So I will have to figure out how to get a 64bit system although I am not sure I really need it. I will write more of what I think on W7 on my opinion blog. I guess I better redownload Itunes so i can charge my ipod through the computer.

Where is my husband

I like to know where he went, oh there he is, for our anniversary a personalized gifts, I think it would be great if I could do that. I been wanting to do it for a couple years now and never have been able to get him something. I know what I want to get him but every time that time comes I can’t. I can’t say what I am thinking I want to get because he reads my page.
We went out for dinner, and then we came back home from the store. We had to pick up water and other junk, sometimes spending time with him is hard. On Saturday we sit together during worship and other part but it not like having time to talk to him about things. Lately a lot of our talks have been about dad, and not other things, seldomly do we have time to spend with each other.

Golly

I don’t have any title for this post. It seems lately every time I listen to the news it very sad, today another explosion happened just a few miles from me. I wonder if they are going to find that the lines in this house were crossed with plumbing or if it was a leak of some kind. Recently about 20 miles from me there was an other explosion, I wonder who is responsible to pay it. The utility company or the home owner if they crossed lines with an other utility company I hope they will be held responsible.
I mean they hold pharmaceutical responsible for damages, that why reading diet supplement reviews is important when picking a diet pill. Well I guess the news just said it was crews hit a natural gas line. It is amazing how utility companies are allowed to be the only one in the area, and it to me seems there not a good way to watch over the companies, because accidents happen. Well I guess the utility company got 3 years to fix this problem here, yet I wonder how many more explosion there will be in this state.

Just thinking

The other day I was reading ingredients in bath stuff, and shaving stuff for woman. What I was shocked to discover is that some of the products have fake sugars in them, I wonder if it the same with wrinkle treatment. My shaving cream had a fake sugar in it, I wonder if I will react to it the same way I do when I ate it. I get very ill when I have fake sugar, my system will not tolerate the over process chemical of them. I can’t even do splenda.
What I would like to know is why do they need to put a sweetener in shaving cream, grant it it’s scented fruit but that still doesn’t mean it needed, it not like I am planning on eating the shaving cream. I can tell you it’s not edible.

Finally got my grade

Today I came home and had a email from my academic adviser, so I went to check the school site and see if I got my grade. I was worried about the final exam, but for no reason at all. The professor decided to grade it on a curve so it must be no one past the final. So I got a “A-” in the class, and I am not going to complain at all when I was expecting a B grade.
This morning I started the day off kindof rough, I got a spider bite on my nose and my goodness does it hurt, and it started to bliester so I got some stuff for it. I do not think any best acne treatment would help, so to wash my face I am not using my normal face was because I do not want to irritate it more. So I was honestly worried I wouldn’t have a good time. I did find a spider on the roof so I killed him, teach him for eating me.

Slow Down

The other day my husband and I where driving somewhere. The roads were still pretty slippery at the intersections. I was driving down the street heading home, and some one decided to see how close they could call it to me getting to them. Hopefully they have stainless steel drums for breaks because they almost spun out on the road. They where making a right turn and took it way to fast and it was at a stop sign, at least I saw them and was able to slow down and avoid hitting the guy.
It is amazing how fast people try to drive when they can not control their cars, or trucks. It seems like people don’t realize that the vehicle they are driving can seriously hurt someone or kill them. In the winter time roads are slippery, I am not talking about staying with the flow of traffic that doesn’t bug me when I am stuck in slow moving traffic because of the weather but my goodness if everyone else is going close to speed it does bug me to have someone going 10 miles a hour and think this is cool or okay. If you can’t drive in the snow that what the city bus is for if you live in the city.
In winter months especially drivers need to give extra time to get to where ever they are going. Make sure there is plenty of breaking distance between you and the car ahead of you, and if you must make a lane change, make sure you don’t just about hit someone because you’ve lane change with no accounting for other driver errors. I hate winter and you know I don’t want to have to wait for help because someone didn’t drive with caution.

Starting back on solids

I had 2 molars taken out, and been on a pretty much liquid diet for a little over a week or very soft foods. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks and I just started eating more solid foods. The liquid diet I been on has well been a goodappetite suppressants, I can’t even eat all my dinner, and if I do I get a upset stomach with another unfortunate problem. Last night we went out to our little favorite restaurant, and I hate to say it the food did not agree with me.
I think I should have been a little more careful increasing my solids, I am not going to try to force more food then I need if I feel full I will have to make sure I stop right away. I don’t want to gain weight. I have at least 3 molars to go and 4 wisdom teeth to go. I am hoping the wisdom teeth can be all done at the same time but probably not. Hopefully my recovery will be quicker then 2 weeks and then some.
