Every winter I dream of going to Florida to get away from this wretched cold weather. Next year I believe I am actually going to make that dream come true and go. I figure if I plan enough ahead of time I can get the best prices on everything and I can save for it. I already started looking around at the different orlando hotels and I have found some rates that are great, especially if you lock them in early. This time next year I will be warm on Blue Monday!
My Mom’s Dreams Coming True

I was talking with my mom the other day about her purchasing a motor home. Her and my stepdad have always shared the dream of retiring and buying a motor home to go around the country in. I asked her if she was planning on buying new or used, and she said she did not know as of yet because she was thinking about the motor home repairs that might come along with a used model. I told her that I looked it up and you can find repairs for reasonable prices and if it would make her dream come true sooner she should just go with the used one.
Drums For My Little Sister

Is it just me or does it seem like parents always end up buying their kids some kind of guitar? I decided this year to go against the popular grain and found a couple of drum set for kids that I want to get for my little sister in law. I think it would be really cool if she got into playing the drums early because every band needs drummers and the sooner she learns the better she will be in the future. I really think she could be good at playing the drums, now let’s hope her mom doesn’t kill me for buying something that is potentially loud!
Knowing What Will Happen In The Future

I am my mother’s daughter, and I have really noticed that over the years everything that she told me happened to her body has happened to mine as well. My mom is currently going through menopause and she is 50 so I know that I am going to go through it right around 50 too. I know that she needs to get some kind of bio identical hormone replacement therapy though because she does not want to feel like an “old lady” as she puts it.
Facebook Addiction

Since I now have Facebook on my phone, I find that I check it and post on it a lot more than I used to. I end up knowing way too much about other people’s lives and what they are up to. There is a site on there though called Flint Police Operations that I watch a lot because it is a site dedicated to everything going on in the city of Flint MI. which is where I live. It is crazy to see all of the calls that come through the Flint police every single day. Whenever I hear sirens now I just look on my Facebook page to see what is going on!
Finding The Funniest Things On YouTube

I love going on YouTube because it is such an entertaining site seeing the silly things that people do. I love just doing a random search on things that I think would be funny. The other day I saw crabs running on television, so I decided it would be funny to see them fight. I went on YouTube and looked up crab fights and they had quite a few videos. I just want to find the best youtube video downloader out there so that I can keep my favorites so that I can watch them later without having to remember how I got there.
Preparing For The Holiday

Christmas is closing in on us really fast, and I have not gotten all of the stuff done that I like to have done by now. I am not baking now until the 23rd because my mom and I are going to make it an event to do it together. My brother is getting in on the 23rd as well. I never realized how much of a big deal it is to have your family actually come home for the holidays, because they were always just there before. I am missing my dad and grandma a lot this week.
Shopping For Specific Tools & Such

If you have ever shopped for very specific tools before you know that most stores only have a small selection of the different things that you need. If you are looking for something specific like amt pumps it is better to go to a specialized store like the one online at www.wegotpumps.com because they have every kind of pump you could ever need. I know that my husband has been looking for a certain kind of pump that they never seem to have at the home stores, so I am going to tell him about this site so he can finally find what he has been looking for.
Back To The World (Of Warcraft)

I recently started playing the World of Warcraft again and I’ve been playing on Eradar. It is a PvP server which I am not used to, but I am learning to like it. I am still playing my warlock, and I have been getting into raids using the “LFR” or looking for raid option that they have added to the game. It is basically a PUG (pick up group) raiding tool that pairs you with people all over the game. I have been having a lot of fun with this because I can actually raid relevant content instead of waiting for a raid spot to open in my guild. I know that since the new Star Wars MMORPG is coming out the attendance in this game will go down, but in a month a lot of people will be back. Does anyone play this?
My Cheap Fish Tank Stand

I bought a microwave cabinet the other day and I decided that it is actually going to be my fish tank stand. I am just not going to use the casters that came with it, and I think it will really look nice with the fish tank on it. There is a cupboard on the bottom of it which I believe will be perfect for storing all of the fish food and supplies as well. It was a lot cheaper than buying an actual fish tank stand.
