quick apology ..

I just wanted to post a quick apology to all of you for not reading your blogs much lately or being around much . We are in the middle of trying to get things settled before we get the loan to build . As of right now we are doing the cost list so I am viewing all sorts of nice appliances , countertops , flooring and all that . I am letting my husband handle all the electrical , plumbing and so on because he knows the people he will be hiring better than I do . It has actually been fun picking out everything that is going in the house and so far my favorite thing has been the major kitchen appliances . I will tell you this , I can't wait until our first night in the house after it is completed , if I don't burst from excitement before then ! I have already figured one thing out , this isn't something an impatient person needs to be dealing with and I , of course , am a very impatient person . My nerves will calm down once we break ground and I can actually see something happening instead of just looking at the mental picture in my brain all day .

Anyways, I am sorry if I have neglected your blogs lately and it may be some time yet before I can do my usual blogging ! Y'all be safe and take care !

it's over ... already ?

I can't believe it ! I am sitting here watching the closing ceremonies for the 2006 Olympics , where did the time go ? I had promised myself to watch as much as possible and as it turned out "as much as possible" wasn't much at all . Normally I make sure that my schedule is clear during the Olympics but this year there were only about four nights out of fourteen that I didn't have something to do . Of course in the previous years , my kids have been younger and most of their activities took place on the weekend or right after school . The rest of the time I watched what I could . Oh well .. there is always 2010 .

There were a few things that I didn't like about this years events , one was the fact that they didn't show as many medal ceremonies , two .. they didn't seem to tell as much about the atheletes as they have in years before . Another thing that has bugged me this time is that I have watched more atheletes fall than in any other Olympics be it Summer or Winter . I was watching the Luge on the first or second day and there were four of the atheletes one after the other that came off their sleds and my thoughts at the time was that they were just having bad luck but it seems that wasn't the case as I watched figure skaters , snowboarders , skiers(in all events) fall . My biggest disappointment came when Michelle Kwan had to step down , that one sure brought a bunch of tears to my eyes . I do admire her for bowing out so gracefully and just having the courage to do so . Anyways ..on to other things...

I didn't go to church tonight because my feet are so swollen that they won't fit into my shoes . This morning I wore a pair of loose flats and they felt like they were a size or two too small . The only thing that will fit my feet right now are my house shoes and I figured some of the congregation might frown a bit if I wore my house shoes so I stayed home .

I can't remember a year when I have really wanted spring and summer to hurry it up as much as I do this year . Maybe that is because we will be building or maybe because I believe that if it is going to be cold the least it could do is drop a couple of really good snows on us to make it worth while!

I guess that is about all of the gabbing I need to do for now so y'all take care , be safe and I will chat with ya later!

a little frustrated..

I have told you all about my 8yr old son and him having ADHD . Well we have to keep a close watch on his weight because even without taking meds his weight has always been a problem . The only time the child has weighed what he should was at the time of his birth and then shortly there after the under weight problem started . Last April when my son was diagnosed with ADHD and put on Adderall XR he weighed 50lbs . As of Feb. 1st ,which was his Adderall re-check , he weighed 52lbs . On Feb. 13 he had to go back to the doctor because he was sick with strepthroat and he weighed 50. He was sick all last week first with the strep then with just a cold and sinuses . When a child that is underweight in the first place looses a couple of pounds it is real easy to notice it because they are so skinny anyways , so on friday I noticed that his back and ribs were looking a bit more bony so I weighed him and OMG!!! he has lost three more pounds putting him at 47 lbs. He goes back to the doctor for another Adderall re-check on March 1st and I am hoping that we can get his weight back up a bit because if not his doctor is going to have a fit and the weird thing about the whole situation is that his eating habits haven't changed . He is eating as he usually does and he hasn't been running around as much so I am wondering how he lost the weight . Even when he was sick , there was only one day that he didn't eat well and that was on the monday that we found out that he had strep. So now I am at wits end and I am not sure what to do about his weight . I did go buy some ensure so that I can put it in the freezer and let it get slushy then he can have it like a thin shake but other than that I am at a loss on what to do . If any of you have any good ideas please leave them in the comment section .

busy again ...

It is that time of year again when science projects are being prepared for school . Both of my daughters have a science project due this week and surprisingly they have both had them pretty much done for the most part . Today all they are doing is typing up their all their data and conclusions and putting them on the project boards .

My ten year old daughter chose to do a really cool project . The title of her project is "How to blow up a balloon using household materials" . If you have never saw this performed , you should try it because it is really awesome . Take a 20 oz clear water bottle put in 1 cup of vinegar . Put 1Tablespoon of baking soda in the balloon and connect the open part of the balloon to the top of the bottle . Make sure the part of the balloon containing the baking soda is hanging down so that it doesn't drop into the bottle of vinegar . Once you have the balloon connected to the mouth of the bottle hold the balloon upright so that the baking soda drops into the bottle . Once the baking soda hits the vinegar the gases cause the balloon to expand . Sometimes it goes awry and you have to do it all over again but it does work and it is really cool to watch . My daughter first saw this performed during her first year in girl scouts and that is where she got the idea from .

My thirteen year old is doing a top secret project evidentally because she won't let any of us see what she is doing , nor will she talk about it . However , she has been on the computer typing away on a research paper that she has due tomorrow that I found quite interesting . The research is based on the song by Billy Joel "We Didn't Start The Fire" . The two people that she has to research and tell the purpose for their names being mentioned in the song are John F. Kennedy and John Glenn . I really can't wait to see the outcome of this research paper .

Anyways , that is why I haven't been on the computer the past couple of days . I hope y'all have a good day !

brrrr...again

The weather here in East Tennessee never ceases to amaze me ! Thursday we reached a high of 70 and let me tell you , it was a beautiful day . Yesterday started out not to cold but we knew that the temp would start dropping afternoon and sure enough it did .

We took the kids to see "The Chronicles of Narnia" at 1 , it was over at 3:30 and when we came out of the theater we all got a chilly surprise . The winds had picked up a bit and it was cold . Btw.. I loved the movie . The way that I would describe the movie is a kids version of Lord of The Rings and yes I am a LOTR fan . Anyways , throughout the afternoon and evening the temp just kept creeping lower until the wind was just about too much to handle . This morning I have to take my 10yr old to her girl scout gathering . The are doing "Thinking Day" today and it starts at about 8:30 this morning . For those of you who don't know what Thinking Day is let me tell you about it . Each girl scout troop picks a country that they want to represent and they spend months studying the culture , foods and just the ways of that country . My daughters troop choose Cananda this year because in June of 2007 her troop is going to Niagra Falls . The troop made the original Canadian girl scout uniforms and they will be wearing them today .

Anyways, I guess I better sign off for now because I need to take her on over to their meet . Y'all have a good day and be safe ! :)

woohoo ... finally ..

My kids are out of school tomorrow for administration day so Mr. Breazy is taking the day off so that we can do some major "family" things together . The first on the list is to make breakfast in the morning , each pitching in and making a small something then it will be off to the movies to see "The Chronicles of Narnia" . My 10 year old and I are estatic about this because we have been wanting to go see this movie for so long but each time we have made plans something has came up however , I don't care if it hairlips hell , I will be setting in the theater tomorrow . After the movie we have no certain plans but I am willing to bet , if I were a betting gal, that we will end up somewhere in the mountains because that is another place we haven't been a quite a while . We are treating my parents and my sister to dinner tomorrow evening and then we will probably gather at my house or my moms and play cards .

Saturday will start early for us because my 10yr old and her girl scout troop is participating in "Thinking Day" but I can't remember what their theme is this year . I do know that each girl had to make a replica of the orginal juniors uniforms and they will wear them that day . Saturday evening we have a Valentines Banquet to attend in the fellowship hall at our church . The banguet is so much fun and they always have delicous food .

Unbelievable but it is 65% outside right now and windy as can be because a cold front is moving in and we are supposed to get rain turning to sleet tomorrow . The temp actually hit 70 today and it was so nice but it did make me long for spring . Anyways , I guess that is about all the yammering I need to do at this time of night . Good night all , sleep tight , don't let the bedbugs bite ! :)

funny hnt !

I never participate in HNT but this week I decided "what the heck" . I wanted to post this pic because there is a friend of mine that is always joking with me about my banjo . As you all know I started taking banjo lessons in November and I am at that point where everything is coming together and clicking in my brain and I have finally started to pick up speed . My friend never comments here but I am sure that he comes here from time to time just to check things out so "FRIEND" here ya go ! When I learn "Dueling Banjos" and I can play it up to speed I will do an audio post so that my friend and all of you can hear it ! Before you see this pic , understand that it was shot last saturday when we were having snow . That is why I am in that bulky sweater and my thick sweat pants and my ten year old kind of snuck up on me with the camera , so I had no idea that this pic was going to be taken !

If you have ever wondered how a person can "pick and grin" , now you know how ! hehe ! If you wanna dance a jig for me then go see Osbasso and he will tell you how !

HAPPY HNT!!!

hump day ..

We have ,once again, entered that day of the week where we can take a deep , cleansing breath and know that we have almost made it to Friday . Fellow bloggers , there is a light at the end of our tunnel . hehe . Anywoo ..

Today my oldest child must go to the doctor for her yearly well check up . I am not looking forward to this because she has to have a shot today . It seems that somehow her previous doctor failed to give her the three Hepatitis B shots so now she has to start them . She is very afraid of needles and when the shot comes I am sure that Thomcat and Logo on the West Coast , Lime on the East Coast ,and DaMasta in Texas will hear screaming ,crying and carrying on . The one that I pity is of course BSoholic because he is only three hours away and therefore he needs to wear earplugs today or else his eardrums are in danger of bursting . My daughter will be 14 in a month and three days so you would think that she would start accepting the fact that if you breathe then you will at some point have to have a shot . Anyways , y'all dig out your earplugs and get ready to insert them in your ears around 9:30am . Don't say I didn't warn you !

Happy Hump Day !

love is in the air !

Happy Valentines Day !!!

So it is that time again when everybody is feeling all ooey gooey over their lover/partner/spouse . Mr. Breazy and I have never put much emphasis on Valentines day because instead of showing each other love and giving each other gifts we try to make it special for the kids . Have you ever made a simple dinner , lit some candles , turned down the lights and placed small gifts at each childs place setting ? If you haven't done this then you should try it . You don't have to cook a huge immaculate dinner just think about the foods that your children like . Arrange the foods on each plate in a restaurant style and they will love it because it makes them feel like a part of something that most people act like they aren't supposed to be a big part of . Get sparkling grape juice and bring out the wine glasses . I collect wine glasses and my kids love it when they get to drink out of them . We get each child a small box of chocolates , normally a small stuffed animal and of course a card .

Anyways , that is how I will be spending my valentines day except I will have to do it on thursday instead because my son is terribly ill with strepthroat and won't be able to eat good solid food for a day or two . I wish each and everyone of you a wonderful Valentines Day !

How do you usually spend your Valentines day or what do you plan to do this year ?

this , that and blah , blah , blah

Hey all ! I am just in a talking mood tonight so bare with me .

I got a huge disappointment soon after I got out of bed . I turned on the tv and found out that Michelle Kwan dropped out of the Olympics because of a fall early yesterday during practice . One thing I have to say is I admire her for dropping out , even though I would love to see her go on and win gold , because she knows her body and it's limits and if she thinks that she can't perform her best due to an injury or whatever then she owes it to team USA to drop out so that another contender can come in and take her place . I just really hate to see her go ! I just watched Apolo Anton Ohno fail to qualify for the relay that he won gold in , in Salt Lake City 2002 however , he has four more (I think) events to qualify for so he isn't completely out , thank goodness . Yesterday 19 year old Hannah Kearney , the reigning World Champion in the womens moguls , failed to qualify . Her coach said she was worried about landing her first jump and therefore when she came out of the gate ,on the second turn she stumbled and didn't regain her composure throughout the rest of the course which put her at 22nd out of 30 competitors .

During church tonight my son starting looking a little pale so I put my hand on his forehead to check for a fever . He felt just a bit warm , nothing to get alarmed over but when we got home he ate dinner then went straight to his room , put his pj's on then got in bed and turned on his tv . This is very strange behavior for my son , normally we have to tell him to get his night clothes on and get in bed . My husband went in to check on him and called for me to bring the thermometer in and check him and sure enough , his temp was 101.8 so back to the doctor we go .

Our "snow" that we were supposed to get really didn't impress me so I am waiting with my fingers crossed that we will get some more another time , it was really pretty watching if fall though . Unless we get six inches or more , that sticks and stays , I won't be impressed .

And last but not least , I have a friend from church that reads my blog periodically and I just want to give him a big shout out . We will call him "W" ! Hey W ! Y'all have a good night and come back again when you have time and we will chat some more about this and that !

let the games begin !

Woohoo ! The time has come once again and as of earlier tonight , the 2006 Olympic Winter Games have started . For the next two weeks I will be glued to my tv watching all the events take place . I am hoping that Michelle Kwan can take home the gold in figure skating this year and there are others that I am hoping to see some gold for in different events . I also like the summer games but my favorite are the winter . I am ready to see what Apollo can do in the relay this year and I am really excited to see the skiing ! Wow ! Can ya tell I love the Olympics ? hehe . Y'all know what this means right ? I will be talking of nothing but the Olympics for the next two weeks . However , I didn't get to watch the opening tonight because we were gone but that is okay so long as I don't miss any of the events .

Our snow is coming in as I type . It started raining about 30 minutes ago and the meteorologists are saying it will change to snow quickly and when it does the snow will be falling hard and fast throughout the night and most of tomorrow . Anyways , I am going to sign off for now and go watch out my window for the first flakes to come down . I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend ! :)

let it snow !

I can't believe it ! We came out of church tonight to find the ground white and it was snowing like crazy . I am so excited ! It has been so long since it has snowed here . It isn't a big snow by any means but snow none the less . We have approximately 2 1/2 inches right now and it is supposed to continue to snow until about 6am so I don't know. I wish we would get a real snow which to me would be a foot or more , now that would be awesome . We are supposed to get another snow storm on friday that is supposed to give us more snow than this and I am ready for that too . It could snow asshole deep to a ten foot man and I wouldn't care ! I LOVE the white stuff !

It is so peaceful when it snows and it seems when you are out in it , for that time the world stands still and is so quiet . That is how it is to me anyways . The kids are all excited and hoping for a snow day from school tomorrow in which their wish will probably be granted because the tempurature just hit freezing a little while ago so the snow should start laying on the roads before long . Anyways , I just wanted to share my excitement !

reminiscing....

Today is my dad's birthday so first things first , HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!! Anyways , we went to my parents house for dinner tonight and as you know I recently lost my last two grandparents , my moms mom and my dads dad , within a week and a half of each other . My mom and I starting looking through all of the old pictures that she got to keep of her mothers and wow it kind of blew me away . There were many pictures that I had never seen . Some of them brought a smile to my face and some of them brought tears to my eyes . Most of the pictures were taken before I was born . Even though I know many great people , whether we are related or not , there is one person that I never had the privilege to meet and I wish I had . My moms brother Ervin . Uncle Ervin was killed in Vietnam on September 13, 1968 , seven years before I was born . He is the reason my parents met . My dad and uncle met in the Army and became friends and my uncle invited my dad to his house one day and that is where he met my mom .

I have always heard good things about Uncle Ervin and I love seeing pictures of him . He had warm , loving eyes and you can tell that he was a jokester just by the expression on his face and his smile was beautiful . Tonight I got to see some pictures of Uncle Ervin that I didn't know exsisted . Alot of them were of his childhood years , some of his teen years and then there were the ones taken of him in his coffin . I have always been interested in Uncle Ervin and the type of person he was but I never really wanted to ask because I know that it is a painful subject for my mom . Tonight my mom told me to come back over one day while the kids are in school and she would let me read the letters that he wrote to my grandmother while he was in the Army . I am so excited to read the letters and maybe understand a bit more about the man that has always piqued my curiosity .

Looking at all of the pictures of my cousins and I when we were younger really made me long for some of those days again . We use to have so much fun running around the yard and the hillside above my grandmothers house . We didn't have to have toys and all kinds of electronic gadgets to keep us happy , instead we took what the good Lord gave us , our imaginations , and we hit the door running and didn't come back in until we were called in for supper and sometimes we wouldn't go then and someone would come looking for us . When we would go in we looked liked we hadn't bathed in weeks because we had been playing in the dirt and jumping around getting hot and sweaty so that the dirt on us just smeared and ran with the sweat . Those were the days ! I think what I long for the most is being carefree . No computers , PS2s , gameboys , or cable / satelite tv . Back then when you stopped in for a visit you didn't stay a few minutes or an hour , you were there all day or at least half the day . Back then the majority of the time my only worry was when can I go out and play or what new hot wheels car I could talk my dad into buying me , I didn't worry about other things . There are alot of memories from my childhood that have been locked away in my head somewhere because of a bad thing that happened to me for years during my childhood and I guess the bad memories overrode the good so I don't always remember all of the good . It felt so good to look at those pictures and remember some really good times in my life .

So my question is , do you ever long for your childhood days and is there anyone in your life that you never met but would have loved to ?

what a weekend ....

I finally had the weekend I have been wanting . What did the weekend consist of ? Absolutely nothing ! I am so tired of running errands and being busy on the weekends and I have been wanting a weekend of nothing for a while now however , I am not happy about the way I got it .

My loving husband had to be taken to the emergency room at 11pm friday night and within minutes the doctor had him numb and was slicing on him . This wouldn't have happened if the stubborn goof would have listened to me on wednesday . He had a bump or boil , I am not sure what to call it , on his upper left thigh , closer to the groin area and on wednesday it was looking bad so I told him to call the doctor . He didn't listen and he kept telling me it was alright . On friday night within an hour this thing started streaking red , swelling , and hurting so he showed it to me and I had him at the ER in no time . It was abscessed and I bet if he ever gets another bump , boil or what ever you want to call it again , I bet he goes to the doctor like his wife (the one that doesn't know what she is talking about) told him to. I am glad they gave him pain pills because even with those he has really hurt and my husband is one of those that never complains about his aches and pains . Even though I am mad at him over not going to the doctor when I told him to , I do feel bad for him . So , I have had to stay home and take care of him this weekend and I didn't realize that doing nothing could make you so tired .

I am going to take two days this week to do nothing but blog and chat since I haven't had time lately . I really miss being on here as much as I use to be but I guess I better get use to it because once we start building I will be very busy and not around hardly at all . We are going to do as much of the building as possible on our own because we want to do it that way and because there is no way that we could stand back and let others build our house . We want to get our hands dirty too ! Anyways , I hope y'all have a good day tomorrow !

percussive maintenance ...

This post is in red because that is how my ears feel right now . Have you ever been so mad that your ears burned ? I am at that point . I HATE computers !!!! I have been trying to fix my old computer . What is wrong with it , you say ? Well first off , I have Bellsouth FastAccess DSL and when I purchased my new computer I wanted to have DSL on both computers . My old comp had windows 98 on it and Bellsouth told me I had to upgrade to 98 second edition or higher so I upgraded to 2000 , biggest friggin mistake of my life . I HATE 2000 ! Now none of my wireless equipment will work on my old comp because the installation disk says that it can't work with 2000. I bought that comp from a cousin right after she rebuilt it and nothing is wrong with it but when I upgraded to 2000 nobody told me that it wouldn't install some of my drivers . I am going to attempt to put windows xp on it before I have to buy a copy of 98se .

I can fix small problems that occur on my computers but this is driving me crazy . I have been working on that damn computer for almost seven months now and the honest truth is that I am no computer genius , I can find my way around one but when my system isn't detecting my modem or usb connector I have no clue what to do . If I could take my old computer out in the yard and use some hard core percussive maintenance on it , I would have the biggest orgasm this side of china .

Anyways , thanks for letting me vent for a bit ! Bye ....

tv and thoughts ...

Last night I watched "Flight 93" on A&E and of course , as I am sure it did all people who watched it , it brought 9/11 back to mind . I can remember everything about that day , the fear I felt , the sadness , sorrow and many , many other emotions . I was in disbelief about what was going on because I , being the naive person that I am , never thought I would live to see a terrorist attack here of that magnitude , if one at all . I sat glued to the tv for almost two weeks to see if any survivors had been found , if any new information was out , and the entire time I kept praying , for this country , the families and friends who lost loved ones in the attacks . Everyday I expect to turn on the tv and have a repeat of that tragic day because we all know it is going to happen again , sooner or later .

Saturday marked the 20th anniversary of a tragic event as well . January 28 , 1986 was the day that the Challenger exploded 74 seconds after take off . I watched the shows that were on tv saturday and my memory floated back to that day as well . I was 10 and I was playing a game in the living room floor in front of the tv and I couldn't wait to see the shuttle take off . I have not saw that footage since that day and seeing it again on saturday still made my stomach turn with fear .

Every morning when I get up I watch Good Morning America and this morning they had a lady on there that was talking about personal time on a computer while at work , for some reason Thomcat came to my mind ... hehe . I also thought of BSoholic and Damasta. Anyways , she said that every company , big or small , is watching every move each employ is making on the internet . She also said that these companies have to allow some personal time online during work hours because the workers don't always have alot to work on . Anyways , I thought that was interesting . I really don't have much to say tonight but I will think of something in the next couple of days ! Y'all have a good one !

dreams do come true ..

Have you ever had a dream that you knew would one day happen but you just didn't know when ? Mr. Breazy and I have had a dream to build a home of our own for several years now but we couldn't because the land we wanted to build on wasn't available to us , until recently . I can't tell you how excited we are ! We should be breaking ground in June or July . We have spent the week looking at house plans and finally we found exactly what we have been looking for . My taste runs more to the simple than the extravagant and finding just the right plans was really important to me . I want a country style home , two stories with the bedrooms all upstairs , a huge kitchen with an ajoining breakfast room and family room , and the most important , a wrap around porch . To me a big porch is a place of peace and therefore very important to me . Our biggest expense will be the kitchen because there are some specifications that I have for my kitchen and I will not be happy unless I have them . Anyways , I wanted to show you what the outside of the house will look like . It is called "The Homestead" . When I saw this one my heart stopped and I knew this was it . The inside is absolutely wonderful and it is exactly what we wanted .










So let me know what you think ! Soon I will post the inside plans but they are reversed so the writing on them is backwards . Once we get everything together and have the finalized plans in our hands I will post them on here . Y'all have a good weekend ! :)

a bit of this and that ..

Good Tuesday morning all ! As I was driving to work today I was listening to my favorite radio station , WIVK 107.7 , this is a country station and they have the best morning program around here . Anyways , they are always telling funny stuff on there and this morning they were talking about a 911 phone call from a woman who has an out of control 12 year old daughter . When the woman called 911 apparently she didn't think about what she was saying so she says " I can't control my 12 yr old daughter" , the 911 operator thought that this was one of the many prank calls that they get everyday and he replied " mam , what do you want us to do , come over and shoot her?" . Needless to say the woman didn't find this too funny and threatened to tell his supervisor . Once the 911 operator figured out that the woman wasn't joking about her daughter he asked her if the daughter had hit her or threatened her . In the end the woman was mad because 911 couldn't do anything for her since there had been no physical damage or threats . Upon hearing this it made me wonder just what kind of crazy calls like that 911 gets each day and the bad thing about it is that people like this woman that called are serious about their call . This woman actually thought that 911 was going to just send someone over to take care of her daughter for her . Pretty weird if you ask me . Anyways ....

My sister started a blog on myspace and she talked me into doing it as well . She tried blogger and didn't like it . She asked me if I wanted to creat a blog on myspace as well so that she and I could communicate via blogs and I finally gave in . My myspace address is http://myspace.com/breazy75 . There is nothing special about it and I do have to admit , I like blogger better but my sis has helped me a bit and I think I finally understand myspace , I still like blogger better but I will keep both .

As you know , my son has ADHD and he takes Adderall XR . He has been taking 20mg a day since November and once his body adjusted to the 20mg things have been going downhill . His grades have dropped , he is having trouble getting to sleep , he is very irritable and some of his ticks are coming back . I called the doctor back in December to change his February 13th appointment to as soon as possible and the closest they could change it was to Feb. 1st. I am doing all that I know to do to help keep the irritability down but I can't completely make it go away and once we do get to the doctor , she and I are going to have a talk about the nurses scheduling appointments . The Dr. probably isn't going to be happy about the nurses putting me off like this because she told me anytime that my son has problems with the meds to call and get an appointment immediately . I can't wait until our appointment because this is really hard on my son because he can't understand why the simplest tasks are now a bit hard to do. I will post an update on this after the appointment .

I have been really busy trying to get back in the groove of things after being sick and therefor I haven't had alot of time to post and read other blogs . I apologize for this and I hope to be back to "blogging" normal soon . Y'all have a good day !

Do you own a cell phone ?

Do you have a cell phone ? If so then please read on .

I recieved an email earlier today about a subject that I had entirely forgot about . As of January 20, 2006 all cell phone numbers were released . That means that telemarketers can call you now and if they do guess what ? you are charged minutes for their calls . So I have some info that I thought I would pass along to you to keep this from happening .

You can register your cell number on a DO NOT CALL list and the telemarketers can't call you . The number is 1-888-382-1222 and you have to call from the cell # that you want to register . You do not talk to anyone , it is automated . The call will only take about 50 or 60 seconds and you are protected for 5 years . If you don't want to call that number or you want more info on the matter , go to donotcall.gov and read about it and you can aslo register on this site . Hope this helps you out . I just made the call a few minutes ago and it only took like 50 seconds if that long to do it . All you have to do is choose the language that you prefer , choose what you are calling for then enter your cell # starting with the area code . It is very easy and well worth it . If a pesky telemarketer happens to slide through and get your # you can also file a complaint through the website.

Y'all have a good evening ! :)

on the mend ....I hope

Hey all ! I feel as if it has been a hundred years since I have been on here . I have missed reading your blogs and chattin with some of you on yahoo but I have been very sick this week . After getting over strep throat , I thought I had a sinus infection , which I did but that wasn't all that I had . I also had bronchitis and let me tell you , it has kicked my butt thoroughly . The couch and my bed have served as my two best companions over the past few days but I was glad to get away from them today . This is the first day that I have been able to breath through my nose since sunday and my nose is raw and peeling from all the wiping . My nose looks like I have dried snot all around it from the peeling so , yeah , I am looking real frickin good right now ! hehe! I am just glad to be out of bed even if I am weak as a new kitten .

Anyways , I didn't have anything important to post about but I wanted to post something so there ya go ! I hope all of you are doing well ! Have a good day and Happy HNT!
