Getting better

Thank goodness for antibiotics! After about a week of suffering from congestion, broncitis, and nausea I'm starting to feel better! Just in time to make up a quiz and midterm from last week, take an exam in chemistry lecture and start a new chapter on nuclear chemistry, take a quiz in chemistry lab, and write a speech. Talk about a super busy week! My oldest daughter also goes to her 2nd staggered day of Kindergarten. She loves it, and was quite angry with me last week when I picked her up 'cause she had to go home. She wanted to stay there! I guess it's a good thing she likes school, and she likes that she gets to go to school like mommy and daddy. :) Only a few more weeks left in this quarter, then I'm taking fall quarter off. I need this time to find a new school, my tuition is just getting to be WAY to expensive. I wrote about it in one of my earlier posts. Anyways, had to write something to let my readers know I'm still around and surviving the crud. :) I also put up a new link for providence. I love it there! You can listen to the podcasts once you get to the website, it's so awesome, and there's a GREAT environment there with something for everyone. On their last MANday night (a group of men getting together on mondays) they had baby back ribs. They're constantly doing cool stuff like that, and giving you ways to 'connect' with others. Check it out, and maybe we'll see you around!

Christmas is coming!!! AHHHH!!!!

Ok, I'm starting to sell my Christmas ornaments as of now. The Christmas ornaments I sell are hand made and beaded. The pictures are below:







These are just a few sample colors. I have alot of different colors, and these are made to order. If you're wanting some before Christmas, please order early to make sure they get delivered on time. I only accept payment through paypal. I do this because it protects both of our information. If you are interested please email me at rjblueyes@yahoo.com. Please include in the subject line 'Christmas ornaments' so I don't accidentally delete it. I get quite a bit of spam. Lol. Also include in the email what colors you would like.

I also make 'Patitudes'. Patitudes are pillows with attitude! These are also made to order, so please order early to give enough time to ensure they will be there for Christmas. I can do sport team colors, or just your favorite colors! My kids love these 'cause they're just the right size( I like em cause they're durable). I also make a mini version for potpourri, which is great for in the bathroom. (If you have small kids they can't get into it) Just email me at the email addy above with 'Patitudes' in the subject line and with which colors you would like in the email. When I get pictures of them I will post them here in my blog. Happy blogging!

Halloween stuff

Ok. I went to the store to get my oldest MORE school supplies. Yes, that's right, I said MORE. The reason for this is that my oldest and middle daughters decided to tear the boxes of the crayons, pencils, and kleenex to decorate my living room. They also proceeded to 'decorate' my walls, and to pour glue ALL over the floor. I went into my bedroom for not even 5 minutes to get ready for school, and they had done all that. To those who still ask me why I smoke cigarettes, this is why:






Anyways, I couldn't believe it when I walked into the store and was bombarded by halloween stuff. Are you kidding me? We just got the kids into school! Give us parents a chance to breathe. It seems like they keep putting this stuff up earlier and earlier every year. Soon it will be halloween, then time will fly, we'll turn around and it'll be Thanksgiving. Then before you know it, Christmas. Yep, Christmas is in 18 weeks and 2 days. Alot of you probably hate me for saying that, but it's true! Soon the madness will begin.

Something Erie....

Hello readers and fellow bloggers,

I recently have read Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Anyone else read this extremely hard to follow book? We had to read it for our English Comp. w/Research class last quarter. If not for a handout our instructor had given, I doubt I would have even understood this Sci-Fi book. It was written back in the 1950's I believe, but you can kinda see how things are falling into place. Don't believe me? In this book he talks about how firemen are no longer our protectors from fire, but instead start fires. If a book, any book, is found in your house you are immediately turned in and your house burnt to the ground. I won't give too much away, just in case I have arroused your interest. Anyhow, what I was saying was, in this book they were talking about these giant walls that were like television screens. The book referred to them as 'The family'. Guess what panasonic has invented? A television so big that it actually takes up an entire wall! Here's the link if you don't believe me. See the picture for yourself. http://thehottestgadgets.com/2008/09/the-panasonic-life-wall-learns-your-preferences-001382

Pretty creepy huh? To those of you who have read this book, another little tidbit I found out. I used to live in Ohio, so I went to visit my family a few months ago. The libraries in Ohio are no longer being funded by the government. Many of them have to close thanks to the wonderful governor. Ted Strickland I believe. I don't know about you, maybe I'm just reading too much into it, but this is all a little close for comfort. What I want to know is how some guy back in the 1950's knew that someday we would have these giant 'walls' that were televisions. Now that's creepy.

What do ya think?

I would love any feedback of what you think of the new look on my blog. It took quite awile to do, but I think it was worth it. I just wanted something different than the run of the mill templates that blogger offers. Don't get me wrong, they do an amazing job making all of them, I just wanted mine to be different is all. Anyways, leave a comment and let me know what you think!
