Okay. I am sitting here at work, wondering if the stove at home will work for dinner tonight. ugh. So I decided to surf around on line and check out new ones! Wow, they have some sleek new electric stoves. They have a double oven stove; its a regular size oven but it does not have the icky drawer on the bottom. There is a smaller oven under the rangetop and a bigger oven under that! It is SO cool ! I want one !

However . . . I really really really HATE the controls in the back, ya know, by the back wall. They also have whats called Slide Ins. The controls are in the front and the back is just flush with the back wall. SO cool ! I want one ! !


As you can tell, I am in the mood to buy a stove. The price for either one of the above is around $1800 smackers. ugh. No stove for me. I am going to look into kitchen sinks next. Cuz I need one of those too! I want the kind of sink that my new Granite countertops will fit over, as in the sink does not just plop in over the countertop, but the countertop is over the sinks edge.

um . . . does anyone have any extra money laying around that they dont want….?

I just had the strangest converstion with my cubbie mate. One of our other team members came over and we were talking about Family, and helping each other out, doing stuff for them, ya know, regular Family stuff that Families do for each other just cuz we love them and they are Family.
Anyways . . my friend was totally shocked at our conversation. I told him I would do anything I could for my Family if the need arose, pay their car insurance, lend them my house to live in; pretty much give them all I had if they needed it more than I did. I mean its only “stuff” anyways. If I think about it, I really dont need the 75 drinking glasses I have in my kitchen - I only need 1 !
I guess my friend argues wiht his brothers about “stuff” all the time; who has more cars, bigger house, better boats, they fight about everything; travel, kids, schools, the list goes on and on and on. so sad really.
I’m like . . hm, I remember the last fight I had w/my sister, I think I was 18? 19 maybe? and it was a stupid fight about me moving back into my parents home and taking back my bedroom, heeheehee.


I am so luck to have such a great family.
XOXO

I have been in a weight loss group here at work for the past couple months and I have come to the conclusion, that I really suck as loosing weight when I have to attend a meeting every fetchin’ week. The group will end next week, and I did not go to the meeting last week. I hate meetings! ! Anyways, I do much better alone. Since re-joining WW I lost 2 pounds, wee hee! So I will not attend anymore in person meetings, they bring me down.
I love this group and now I only have 8 lbs to loose in order to reach my goal. noooo prob, heeheeeh. I hope. eek !

Here are the results for this week. Congrats all you hot women !

This week our contest is sponsored by Clara who writes the Coming Back to Life! She is offering a hand made tote as a prize this week! Here is a picture! Oh it is SOOO cute and perfect for fall!

Well I just got off the phone with my Home Owners Insurance, who Karen suggested I call, thank you girl! Good news is that my broken Stove IS covered under my policy, however, the bad news is that my deductable is $500 smackers! They want me to look into just replacing the glass top and not getting an entire new stove. suck. I want a new stove, heeheehee. But I will have to do some research as sitting here at work right now, I can not even remember the brand of stove I have! That tells ya just how much I cook! heeheehee.

I love it when I can go on line and find people. I need to do this on a daily basis for work since I do work for a credit card company, and well - ya know, the economy and all.It sure makes life easier when I have a good website! Just plug in a Name, and a State to do a People Search. Very simple, very quick, just how I like it.

I think I broke my Stove yesterday. I was getting this big fat heavy coffee mug that I use for Tea from a shelf above my stove and it slipped out of my hands. Go figure that the mug is fine, but the stove is not. My stove is an electric one, flat, smooth, black top, rather nice. Well, it now has a big chunk missing from the back left burner. Plus, it spider-webbed and there are many lines/cracks that reach thru the back right burner and front left burner. I guess it is, or was, a type of glass, cuz when I clean over it now, I can feel the cracks all over the fetchin’ stovetop ! ! eGads I am so pissed. The oven works fine, but I am scared to use the stovetop. crap crap crap crap.

I love this world we live in. Just today I even had a minute to sit down and realize just how lucky I am. There are so many different kind of people in this world and I think thats what makes it so neat. Right now I am pretty happy the way I am; single that is. However, if I was perhaps a single Latina Women I might be more wanting to chat, and even get out more. I’d probably search for a date on line, heeheehee. I know there are lots of hot guys out there, so I’d been scrolling through their pictures right now, for free! Ya just never know what you will find :)

I am beginning to think that taking care of 3 Gerbils, 2 Fish, 1 Turtle and 1 Cat are almost too much for my son. He is doing very well I must say, but it is very time consuming. Yesterday it took 45 minutes to totally clean the fish tank and today it took about 30 minutes to do the Gerbil cage. Plus he does ALL the chores regarding Rosey cat and Seaweed turtle. I almost, almost feel a little guilty! Here are some pics of him working hard.
