Looking at new furniture

Advent — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 00:01:07 +0000

Now that we are moving to LA we are looking at what we are going to take with us across country and what we are going to sell at a yard sale or give to goodwill. We are thinking about getting new tv furniture and getting rid of what we have now. It is a really nice set that we have now but we have had it for a few years and just don’t know if it would be worth moving or getting a new one when we get there. We know we are going to get new bedroom furniture for sure.

Going to Lousiana for Thanksgiving

Advent — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 22:47:00 +0000

We are planning a trip to see my family for Thanksgiving and I am so excited. I am starting to go through all of Lani’s toys that she does not play with anymore to bring with us for Keagan. We are trying to decide if we are going to take the car or the van but the amount of stuff that I am looking at taking with us we may need to buy a bus. I did not realize she had so much stuff she did not play with anymore.

Losing weight…..

Advent — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 19:27:45 +0000

but not from a weight loss pill. I had lunch with some people I use to work with and they asked me what miracle diet pill I was using to lose all of my weight. I just laughed and said it was something I picked up in Asia. I am so funny….the truth is, it really is something I picked up in Asia called H. Pylori.

A new apartment

Advent — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 19:19:33 +0000

Michaela is moving into her new apartment soon and we are looking for her two bar stools for the little bar she has in the kitchen. I can not believe she is moving out much less shopping for bar stools. They are up so fast and it makes me so sad that she is going to be out in that big world all by herself. Thank goodness she is only moving 3 miles down the road, I don’t think I could handle it if she moved to another town or state.

Job hunting

Advent — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:59:51 +0000

Now that we have made the decision to move I am looking at all of the job boards and I see there are a lot of San Francisco jobs out there. We are moving to LA but we have a friend in San Francisco and he said a couple of years ago the pickings were very slim. I guess the market is turning, that is good news for me because it should make it easier to land a job once we get out there.

Friend with a travel agency

Advent — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 19:13:32 +0000

I can’t wait until she plans one for Hawaii. I am hoping that we get to go there again this summer. Matt’s company is talking about putting a trip together maybe this time we will take on of those European cruises. We love to travel around to different places and now that we all have passports it would be easier to just pick up and go.

Matt in Miami

Advent — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 23:03:02 +0000

Matt had to go out to Miami last weekend so when he got back he has surprises for all of us. I was looking at all of the Guess watches while we were in Asia but I could never find one that I really liked. Well, my surprise from Miami was a really cool watch. I was so happy because I though I looked at all the ones Guess made but I evidently not because Matt got me a really nice one. Lani was happy because it looked like Daddy held up the Disney store. LOL She was so excited to see Mickey, Pooh, Tigger and Nemo, she sleeps with all of them at night now.

Teenage years

Advent — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 17:06:02 +0000

Our middle daughter is still dealing with teenage acne. We are looking into new acne treatments because of the harsh chemicals in the once you buy over the counter. She has sensitive skin so the ones over the counter tend to make her skin very dry and painful and it looks even redder than it did before she put the “treatment” on. She just started 8th grade so now she is more aware of how she looks and the fact that more people are looking at her.

Life is so busy

Advent — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 18:10:19 +0000

Well after the trip to Asia, which by the way was so much fun it is back to the real world. In Asia we ate so well and the food was so good but as soon as we landed back in the states we were at McDonald’s in the LA airport. So it is time to get back on the diet pills to maintain the weight that I did manage to lose. It is not that over eat and I feel that I eat a balanced diet but it is for those times that I am running late from work and picking up that baby that sometimes it is just easier to grab fast food.

For the pets

Advent — Mon, 26 May 2008 22:33:03 +0000

We want to get the dogs some new pet beds but Smokie makes that very difficult for everyone. I don’t know what we are going to do with him because now he is refusing to use the litter-box. We can not take him anywhere you know like a shelter or something because he is so mean they would put him to sleep and we just can’t do that but he is getting so out of control. With us going to Asia this summer Matt’s parents are going to have to take care of him and that is not going to work out so well at all.
