I found a house I really like. It’s wonderful from the outside, so family looking. White picket fence and all. It has 4 bedrooms. I can’t even imagine what I’d do with four bedrooms. I started to think about an office/craft space in one of them. That would really give the small business opportunitites a chance to flourish. Right now there isn’t really enough space to work in or have enough product laying around for demand. A move is crucial.

I went to my mother in law’s house the other day for a BBQ and guess what I saw? She has a new laptop computer! I couldn’t believe it. At this point I think everyone has one but me. It’s not that big of a deal to me anymore, because I do have my priorities in order and all. Someone said that my husband was paranoid over laptops. Contrary to popular belief he was just going on what someone told him about our area being not so safe. If I really wanted one that badly I’d buy one. Sure, a laptop is nice to have but I have other things on my mind right now that I would rather keep the savings account up for.

I keep getting invitations from people on myspace to join car clubs. I know it’s social networking and all, but I’m just not cool enough to do something like be in a car club. My car isn’t cool enough either. However, I do see many cars like mine in clubs like that and really “pimped” out as well. We have a Cavalier. It’s silver too so I could do a lot with it as far as accessories go. One thing I was thinking of doing was getting better wheels for it. I started looking at WheelsHQ trying to get a feel for what is out there. I figured I should take some pride in what I drive, since I have to pay so much to drive it now! There are some nice looking wheels and accessories on WheelsHQ.com, but I’m not sure it’s for my type of car. I wish I had a BMW or a Mustang that I could put chrome wheels on because it looks really hot that way. Until then, I’ll just keep dreaming!

Kevin, Sydney, and I just watched The Spiderwick Chronicles. It was absolutely the cutest movie I’ve seen all summer! Sydney loved it. We love Hog Squeal! I loved the message behind the movie as well. I love something that’s so family oriented. My daughter was like oh the boy is sad because of his daddy and she was sitting on Kevin’s lap and he gave her a squeeze. So nice to see that. Nights like this really make me appreciate my little family and the things that I have not miss the things that I don’t have!

Don’t you just love those cute little glasses that everyone is wearing right now? I too love the black and brown frames, but I also like them in color. They go with just about every outfit you wear and if you can get a few different colors it makes you feel like you are constantly switching it up. Check out these green ones.

Aren’t they adorable? They’d go with a ton of fall or warm colors. What I really like about them is that they could add a nice touch to an almost all black outfit as well. The best thing about these frames it that they come from zennioptical.com which means they are budget friendly. Zenni’s frames start at just $8.00 and go up from there.

I know you are probably thinking that with your prescription you won’t be able to find anything right? Not only does Zenni carry single vision lenses but they also have sunsensor (potochromic), tinted suglasses , bifocal and progressive lenses as well.

Yes, I took a trip away from the usual home zoo that we have going on here and went to the Indianapolis Zoo to visit some real animals, not just the kind that act like animals. It was hot, we sweat on everything we could find. Getting a drink was a chore and a half. Let’s see, coke machine screweth much. I ended up paying $3.00 for a bottle of Dasani. Apparently if they don’t like the $1.00 bill you put in then they just eat it and keep it leaving you to put another one in. They’ll use that excuse that it didn’t register if you say anything. I’m speculating at least.

After that I thought I’ll show you and fill up the bottle at fountains. Apparently the only fountains at the Indy Zoo that are cold are the ones inside, the ones outside tasted like lake water. Sydney seemed to enjoy that? I think she was delirious from the heat at that point. We stopped to get drinks at a cart and two cokes in the bottle and a pink lemonade in a dolphin cup were $8.00. It cracked me up. No prices posted. No, your total is $8.00. She just looked at us like you read the machine hand it over. Then, to top it all off she didn’t even scoot the drinks close enough to us to take. I had to reach into her station and get them. She was worthless.

Sydney complained she didn’t like pink lemonade. I told her very nicely to shut up and drink it. We walked over to the dolphin show with our nice cold and refreshing new drinks only to see NO FOOD OR DRINK INSIDE. Screw you. We had to drink as much as possible and then throw it away. Unfortunately I got a tummy ache from the Sprite but was ok about 5 minutes later.

All in all it was nice. Next time I’ll be bringing my own water in a backpack to buck the system.

Gosh, I really hate to admit this. Here goes anyway. One of the biggest pains in my rear for the entire 32 years of my life is shopping for plus size clothing. It’s not just finding something that fits, it’s finding something that fits right and looks good. Something that is actually stylish. I’ve had my ups and downs with weight in my life, and my conclusion is that I’ll always have to wear plus sized shirts, blouses, and tops. Being that my breasts are naturally large it would be nice to have a shirt that fit my breasts, but wasn’t hanging off the rest of me.

I basically just have to deal with the fact that it’s time to face my fears and fly. I’m so scared. However, I’ll never accomplish what I want to if I don’t fly. Take adoption for example. Adopting international means flying to a foreign country. Sure, I could opt for one of those countries that do the escort thing, but to say I passed up a chance to be in my child’s homeland? Not cool with me. Yesterday, I ran into our old case worker. She was talking to me about adoption from the United States. That would require a lot of travel and frankly, I’m not going for the gas prices right now, so it’s time to start looking into flight deals and to the places I have in the back of my mind. Or shall I say, the children I have in the back of my mind?

The day has been really rainy and sort of windy so far. We should get enough of the break in here for our fourth of July cookout and some fireworks lately. We had an uneventful morning to compensate for what should be an eventful night. I spent most of the day snacking, napping, and reading about legal steroids. Pretty strange to think that there are actually legal steroids out there that people can get, but apparently so!

Did anyone watch the Baby Borrower’s this week? It took some teens and threw them into real life. The expectations these people have of how life will be while married or with little children just cracks me up. It reminds me of my mom really. She has all glass tables and a glass sink and she wonders why it is covered in fingerprints when the kids leave? She also freaks out about them getting broke, and to her I say what do you expect with the little kids around who are just learning to walk mom? I think styrofoam sounds a little bit more like it!
