He was looking at swimming pool liners back last summer and but actually purchased a new pool cover so he is excited at the prospect of enjoying all that having a swimming pool in your back yard has to offer. His close friends, family and neighbors are looking forward to it as well, I can tell you that.

I have a feeling that we are going to pay dearly for having such a mild winter by having an extremely hot summer, so having a neighbor with a pool might possibly be one of the ways to help beat the heat that we are in store for real soon here.

I’ve been finding seed and plant catalogues in the mailbox lately and I’m enjoying looking at all of the varieties of plants, trees, bushes, flowers and shrubs that you can order these days. I can’t wait to order flowers for my new window box planters which I bought at the end of the season last deal. Man did I get a sweat deal on those babies. My mother used to have some of the most beautiful window boxes that she always took such pride in. So I’ve always wanted to give them a try and now that time has come. I just hope I can do them justice by looking even half as good as my mother’s did. I’m excited.

It will be a good day to stay by the blazing fireplace that I just started a nice fire in and watch all the football games that are being aired today. I have a good sized flat screen T.V. that makes watching the games so much more enjoyable.

What a cold and nasty Saturday, and the bad news is that tomorrow is supposed to be worse, oh what a wonderful Monday that will be.

I didn’t brave the Black Friday shopping frenzy, that isn’t something that I’m into at all. Just thinking about the whole horrible process involved in that event makes my stomach uneasy and gives me a head ache.

This year, now that I know how much I have to play with, most of my shopping will be done online. This is something that a good amount of people are doing and I intend to be one of the statistics for this year. No crowds, no parking issues, no rude sale associates, no lines, no freezing my buns off outside and sweating to death inside all the stores and no holiday music being drummed into my head that is being played in every store in the country.

A neat trick that I learned as a kid is to fill an ice cube tray with the Kool Aid flavor that you have just made and use them instead of the plain water that we are accustomed to using. That way the Kool Aid doesn’t get watered down. This is important for me because I like my Kool Aid strong, so strong that I actually use 1 1/2 packets to make my 1/2 gallon jug of Cherry flavored Kool Aid, I can’t stand a weak glass of any iced drink.

I was surprised to find so many different types and brands and prices that I found, making a decision is becoming a pain in the rear. Some times having a larger selection to choose from overwhelms me and I find that I can’t make a decision and it pisses me off.  So I’ve decided to book mark the sites and go back to it at a later date, just not too much later. Winter is rearing it’s ugly head all ready and the good times are waiting right out side my door, there are pirating adventures just ahead!

But, that would be very rude of me!  So I just shook my head and kept quiet!

Whenever I see an old man driving a sports car like that, it makes me think that he is trying desperately to feel young and sexy once again.  I guess there is nothing wrong with that, but I think it makes them look desperate and sad.  Like old women in mini-skirts and plunging necklines look desperate and sad!

Of course I jumped at the chance to go out and enjoy the nice weather day, there will not be that many more I fear. What I didn’t expect was to see all the changes that they have made to this particular park. They have replaced the old playground equipment with all new equipment. They even replaced the old Park Benches and the Picnic Tables that always seemed to give us a splinter or two each time we sat at them. They even put in a drinking water fountain and redid and cleaned up the restrooms. Now how cool is that? It’s about time that my tax dollars where spent on something that I approve of!

Check out this cool “Block of Fun” that I found under “rugs 4×5” that I’m thinking of buying for my two nephews to share, use and enjoy together in their room as a Christmas present. I am trying to be a bit pro active here folks, Christmas is only 3 months away, yikes! Anyway you may want to check out Become.com as well and see if there is something that gets you excited as well.

So I took her advice and ordered some of ones that I thought I could pull off wearing and they came pretty quickly I’m happy to say. And today was the perfect day (94% in the shade) to try one out and I am pleased as punch as to way they look and felt while running my errands around town. I was all ready and prepared with a wacky story to tell someone if they asked and of course no one did. But I did feel comfortable in them and I didn’t get home soaking wet as I usually have been for the past couple of months. So I’d like to pass along the web site of blueskyscrubs.com to my readers in case they don’t have a sister to get the info from!
