My Musings and Stuff!

Archive for February, 2008

I am not an oppresser, but maybe I will give you dictator of this house.  Well I like that one.  Ok that was kind of weird, my husband and I have just been going around calling each other things like this and his favorite thing is to call me is a fascist.  But its all good because we are laughing and carrying on about it and are having fun together.  Which is why I have no problem staying up late at night to make him stuff to eat when he gets home from work.  Tonight we will be having waffle fries, eggs and sausage, which is an odd combo but hey it will be late so it will be fun.  Now if only I can just work from home full time I could work around sleeping in.

Formaspace has furniture that would absolutely be my husbands dream setup with places for 5 or more computer monitors, he would be in heaven if he could have a setup like that.  Besides technical setups they also have packing stations as well as Laboratory Furniture, for all of those scientists out there.  They even do custom to order work benches which is really neat for someone like my husband who would have exactly what he wants in mind when it comes to a desk.

Ok, ok I know a lot of people think that the Highlander series and movies are cheesy, hey I know this because my husband thinks that they are as well.  Well I can’t help but since I was around 10 years old and caught the first on the TV late at night one night I have been addicted to the movies and the series.  So I just finished watching the 5th movie in the franchise that was either direct-to-dvd or it was on the Sci-fi channel first, I don’t have cable tv so I am not sure which it was.  Well I can honestly say that I wasn’t totally disappointed in this movie.  It had some of my favorite characters from the tv series Joe Dawson and Methos and my tie for favorite Macleod, yeah I know there are two but I adore Connor and Duncan.  I really liked the idea of this story and that it wasn’t all about killing each other it was about life.  Now if only they could have score a cameo from Christopher Lambert it would have been even more better.  If anyone is a fan of the series, movies or both I would suggest checking it out.

I am starting another at home job and just did a test call and did horribly.  I just froze up and couldn’t remember the product details or how I should act or how to find anything.  I am going to study more of the information tonight and tommorow so hopefully I will get it down.  I will be retrying the test call on Thursday and we shall see how it goes.  I think that since I have gotten that out of my system that it should go better the next time.  And the lady who is my supervisor is super nice and gave me quite a few tips on what I should do and what I shouldn’t do.  So wish me luck and hopefully I will get it down.

My 6 year old son and I went to our first political rally last night to listen to former President Bill Clinton speak on behalf of his wife in the primaries coming up in Texas on the 4th of March.  I will have to say that before last night I was kind of on the fence with her and Obama but after reading a little more and listening to Clinton last night I will be casting my vote in March for Hillary.  I took a lot of photos and it was really fun and my 6 year old thought it was interesting because of all of the people and that fact that a “real live”( his words) came to our small East Texas City. 

I personally like her ideas on healthcare and education which have become really important to myself in the last 6 and 1/2 years since I have had children.

On my birthday I recieved a giftcard to use at Hobby Lobby, so I was all gungho about it and went in and bought some adorable Valentines paper, some cute little Bazzill flowers, a new Making Memories rub-on font in Rose color which I love, and even a new rub-on applicatior that looks sort of like a paint scraper.  Well I get in there and I start thinking about how much I love to scrap and just why in the world haven’t I been doing anything.  Well I have everything sitting on the table ready to use but have I touched in the last 4 days, no I sure haven’t.

On the other hand today Jason took me to buy some late birthday presents today and I got some new tops at Aeropostale that I am just dying to wear.  Maybe I will even make the time to sit down and straighten my hair and take some pics so that I can also show off my new glasses, that I got this last week as well, that are doing there job very nicely I might add.

Oh yeah please send me some good get to Scrapbooking thoughts I have this cute little mug idea all in my head but just can’t seem to sit down and get it together.

Okay the outside work is done for the aerobic system, even if we will still be paying for it in a couple of months.  But it is a relief to have that mess out of the way.  I also had an eye appointment last week and just got my new glasses yesterday I love them and will be getting my husband to take a pic of me soon in them so that I can show them off. 

Today is my birthday and it has been pretty good, I had alot of fun with Jason this afternoon when I play hookey from work and then the kids came home and we had cake and some presents.  They even got me a gift card to hobby lobby which as soon as they went to Awanas I went and spent and got some new scrapbooking stuff.  Which I have just got to get the steam up to get some stuff done.

I know that we should have probably asked more questions than we did, and this is not that good of an excuse we were young and this was our first time buying a house.  But man I wish they would have given us some more information about our aerobic system in our backyard.  Like for example that you have to have it cleaned every few years, they told us about putting chlorine in it which we have been, but didn’t tell us that we have to have someone come out and drain the thing every few years.  We didn’t know this until it got full and some of it leaked in our yard and it started freaking us the hell out.  Now we find out that we have to pay a crap load of money to have it drained, pay for a yearly maintenence program so that we can make sure it stays in good working order and have the system licesnse thing changed to my husbands name which we should have done 4 years ago.  We had no idea about this kind of stuff.  Well maybe this will help a future first time home buyer when they go to buy a house and the builder’s don’t tell you this bit of info.
