My Musings and Stuff!

Archive for January, 2009

Getting discounts and cash back on purchases and services is something that everybody loves.  Ebates is a service that offers cash back, discounts, and coupons at major online stores.  They are free to sign up for so it doesn’t even cost a thing to use the service and at this time they are offering a $10 dollar gift card when you sign up.  I have been wanting quite a few books lately and was browsing the different discounts for book stores and if you are a traveler they also have car rental coupons.  They do payouts four times a year and offer checks or paypal deposits which is great because you don’t have to wait for the mail.   Pretty cool service and most of all it is free.

Having kids I know that there is about a thousand different ways to get a leak in a swimming pool.  Whether it be from a renegade toy, little fingers, sticks, just about anything they have accomplished swimming pool leaks here. We have tried many different ways to get rid of them from repair kits that come with them to other store bought kids also there is kissimmee pool leak to try to get the leak professionally fixed up.

I have been kind of lazy with my blogging this week, I have had really no steam to do much of anything besides dropping with entrecard.  Which is awesome because there are so many interesting blogs out there that I have found with it.

Anyway today we slept for once, which I am truly thankful for, because I pretty much wake up early and go to sleep really late.  So anyway woke up this morning and made the monsters in other words my lovely children waffles.  Which they love, I always earn brownie points with them when I do that.  After that we just lounged around and then met the in-laws in town where they were taking the boys to a birthday party for a kids whose parents they know.

While they were at the birthday party Jason and I went shopping at Target and the good old Mall where we decided to catch a movie.  We watched “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans.”  I was really expecting to hate it, but was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it.  I was  a huge fan of the first two in the series and went in thinking that sequels or in this case prequels always turn out bad or start to go down hill.  We have all seen those movie series who end of up with direct to video sequels, I shudder just thinking about those,  YIKES!  But I have to say if you liked the first two “Underworld” movies and of course like vampires and werewolves I don’t believe you will be disappointed.

Well after the movie we met up with the in laws and got our children back, and decided to stay in the mall a little longer and ate some pizza there and bought a couple of things while we were there.

I hope everyone else had a good Saturday as well!

I know last week I mentioned the new neighbor who flat out told Jason that she was a phone sex operator the first time meeting her. I also mentioned how he asked her if she came back by not to ring the door bell, all of our friends and family knows this, basically all the people who have a reason to come by here.

Well I understand that she could have possibly forgotten what he said, its very possible I know this. But just a few days latter she comes by asking to borrow our shovel said she had to fix her mailbox or I think is what Jason told me. Well anyway that is fine and all but if you want to borrow something from someone in the very least respect their wishes and don’t ring the doorbell. Enough of my ranting I am sure it is very whiny and all but I am working every time so far this happens.

Well because of this I decided to put some of my scrapbooking supplies to use and made a sign for the door I have it laminated now and ribbon attached to hang while working but this is it before the laminate!

One of the luxuries of working at home is that you can literally work in your pajamas. I know I do, I will freely admit it. Yesterday evening I got off of my shift and Jason was off yesterday and he was sitting around with one of his buddies and they are all talking about work and they look at me and Jason is all like “you are still wearing the same clothes you slept in last night.” Of course I pretend that I have no idea what he is talking about and say no, and he says whatever. So indignantly I sniff yes sniff my arm and brag that “I still smell like my Japanese Cherry Blossom lotion I put on after my bath last night, so there!” I think he is just totally hating because he leaves the house to work while I work in my pajamas. I suggest it too if you work at home, because I like to be comfortable!

Honestly some days I have to think about the last time I left the house, but the awesomeness that is me buys lots of pj pants as a work uniform!

As a WordPress blogger I am always looking for the next in my opinion awesome theme for my blog.  WP Remix 2.0 is a premium wordpress theme by PremiumThemes.net that offers that offers WYSIWYG or in other words what you see is what you get editing.  Which would be a breeze in adding your own content and into the blog.  Looking at the template in my opinion it is very clean or neat and is very aesthetically pleasing because nothing appears to be cluttered.  The packaged also comes with 10 homepage options, 20 single pages with multiple layouts, 5 miscellaneous pages. And also plugins capability because you have to have your plugins for you blogs so that is a necessity with any WordPress blog I know I can’t deal without my akismet or the youtube video one.

Here you can view a demo of the theme which is in mostly a black with red titles layout.  Also being offered is an affiliate program where they are offering 50% commision on every sale of theme.  Which is an awesome program especially since they raised it from 20% at the start of last week.  WP Remix 2.0 is a pretty nifty theme I believe for serious bloggers who are wanting a smooth looking blog that is easy to navigate and easy to edit and customize with widgets and things.

Before I start yes I know I am an idiot. This is one that I have never come across in all of those article with titles like “Signs that he is Cheating” and junk like that. I will admit that he has cheated on me in the past and like the biggest dumbass I took him back, but the end is near I am admitting that right now, the end for good.

Well over the last couple of months he has started to do somethings that I just think are just plain odd, almost as if he is trying to impress someone. He has started to shave everything on his body and I just mean down under, I mean everything like arms, legs, even his ass EVERYTHING. Even my friends who are absolute girly girls don’t shave their arms, so I am trying to decipher this odd behavior. I can’t say he is doing this to impress me because well in that case he should have started that 8 years ago but honestly that would not have been impressive to me, I would have thought “what a weirdo”, and don’t bring swimmer theories into this, because since I have known him, he has swam a handful of times and never in water past his chest. So it just leaves me with a lot of weird questions.

If you take this weird body maintenance behavior on account of whenever he is on his computer and I walk into a room he shuts down yahoo messenger really quick (not that is new, its how his cheating started before and he refuses to change, why I say the end is near). You can’t help but to think things and let your imagination run a little wild with what if theoris and what the hell is going on?

Anyone else have any theories?

I woke up at 3 this morning with my youngest son running a 102 fever. We got it down but he is still running around 100. But other than the fever he has been in good spirits and has actually watched Prince Caspian 3 times today when he stayed home from school. I have offered other movies but he just seems to really like that one so I kept letting him watch it. But now I sit here after taking care of him all day and working today (yeah I know I work at home, but I do have to actually think for my job so it can wear a person out) and now waiting for next dose of Tylenol and while I am waiting, yep he is watching Prince Caspian again.

Wish me luck on getting rid of his fever!
