La Flor Dominicana

Posted September 14th, 2010 by Vicki No Comments

Ahh, cigars. In truth I’m trying to quit smoking, but that really has no bearing on how I feel about certain cigars. I love the smell of cigars, well at least some cigars. I’m not sure if la flor dominicana would be one of my favorites or not, because I’ve never smelt them to my knowledge. My Dad smoked cigars occasionally as I was growing up, and I can still remember the smell.

Personalized Gift

Posted September 5th, 2010 by Vicki No Comments

Megan and I went shopping for Desiree’s upcoming birthday today. Shopping has become more difficult as she’s moved out of the toy/kid stage. I was looking for a personalized gift, like maybe an ID bracelet, but I didn’t find anything that I really like. I did however find her a nice pearl necklace that I think she’ll really enjoy.

The necklace along with acouple of outfits completes what Grandpa and I bought for her. I’ll get her some books and maybe a movie when I go up to Hastings later this week.

Term Life Insurance

Posted September 5th, 2010 by Vicki No Comments

I get confused by the difference between term life insurance and those other types. I do feel that my girls will be fairly well taken care of, in the event something happens to me. I just wish it wasn’t all so confusing. I’m really glad that my insurance agent does her best to try and explain it all to me. However none of the information ever sticks in my head.

Sell Used Books

Posted September 5th, 2010 by Vicki No Comments

It’s never been a secret that I LOVE books, but I can’t keep all the books I like, nor do I want to, because some that I read I don’t like enough to want to read again.

I love places where you can sell used books, and also buy used books.

I do wish there was a place closer to here. Right now I have to go all the way to Topeka, but I guess it’s not that much of a hardship, because I go to SAM’s Club up there.

Clamps

I’m not all that mechanically inclined, however I have managed to put a few hose clamps on my cars over the years, and when we moved in here, I put the dryer vent hose on, complete with clamps. Isn’t that amazing? *LOL*

You are talking to the person that messes up putting on a new air filter on the car…*LOL* I feel pretty fortunate that I’m able to unclog my vacuum most of the time.

Mechanics and home repair is just not my thing.

Update

Posted September 5th, 2010 by Vicki No Comments

I hope you’ll excuse the irregular entries. Things have been kind of messed up lately. Trying to get back in the school routine, I’ve been pretty sick for the last 2 weeks, soccer practice has started, and well, life just keeps us busy.

Chief ended up with pneamonia and was taken to the VET center for treatment. He’ll be coming home on Wednesday. Life has seemed so empty without going down twice a day to feed and water!!! We’ve gone to visit him almost every day, but it’s not the same!! We’ll all be glad when he comes home!!

Soccer practice started this past week. The girls are excited, and can’t wait for the games to begin on the 18th. I am happy to report that the games are on Saturdays, so Dad will be able to go, and maybe even some of the other family can even come down and support them/
