They Are Staying

My parent’s have made up their mind! Didn’t you know…they were looking for homes in Arizona. Since they are “Snowbirds” and vacation in Yuma three months out of the year, they figured they could make an investment–and save a little money on their rv financing, and get an actual home. But you know what stopped them….scorpions! I told them that in my 4 years in Phoenix, I never saw one—well, I did see one in a Dixie cup at the zoo—but I don’t think that counts!

Anyway–it was the deal breaker, and next week my dad is driving the 5th wheel down to Yuma, and leaving it in it’s brand new spot—where it will reside forever. From now on, my mom and dad will simply drive to it–spend three months–and drive away from it! How fun is that?

Feeling Younger

I have started taking Vivix. Have you heard of it? It’s from Shaklee, and it’s like “teenager juice”. I’ve never had so many up days in my life! I’ve gotten my bathrooms scoured and gone through my nasty refrigerator with a toothbrush–hows that for energy! Next up…I’m looking for the best eye cream! You know—gotta get the face to match the energy level!!

Tile My Whole House

I have been cleaning up after the new puppy for nearly a year. In fact, I’m not even sure he qualifies as a “new puppy” anymore! How odd would it be to pull up all of the carpet in the living areas (bedrooms) and just have tile? I’m not kidding! He’s ruined nearly $5000 of carpet–and I’m ready to take him in and give him away! The kids, of course, hate the idea—but they aren’t the ones cleaning up after him!

Philly

I’m ready to go on a job search philadelphia style! Philly has always been my favorite place to visit. When I was 18 years old, I flew out to visit my dad after one of his business trips. It was he and I alone for the weekend, and we drove from Philly to NYC and back. I remember on our way back to Philly after our stay in New York, he wanted to stop at the art museum and run up the stairs like Rocky did. Sadly—I’d been drinking Big Gulps the entire way through—and really, REALLY needed to use the facilities. So I hobbled up the stairs—used the bathroom, and ran down them. Not quite the same effect…but still a fun story to tell!
