Summer and gold panning

First off lets talk about summer. We will be taking our summer trip to New Hampshire again. We all love to swim in the lake then go for an ice cream after. It was great last summer. We go to the ocean and the kids play in the water and I hold my nose because I hate the smell. I know right? Someone hates the ocean. Its never been my thing, the seaweed smell gets me everytime. gag.... Then we go to Maine and shop in Kittery, go to the trading post, go to Yummies candy store. We have lobster where I order the twin lobsters just like everyone else at the table but give my lobsters to my husband and eat his and my fries. I think this year we will do lobsters up at the camp aka Grandparents house. We will boil the lobsters and I will boil some shrimp. The kids will probably eat hotdogs (gag), because they dont like seafood. We will go see the bear show at Clarks Trading Post, we go everytime. It never gets old seeing a bear ride a scooter and play (bear-sktball). The girls would like to go to the Polar Caves instead of Lost River. Both are good. the polar caves have more spiders in them though. Perhaps we will drive over to Vermont to see Thomas Jeffersons home, then go up to Canada just for fun. The girls will practice Archery, and it will be fun.

Gold panning,
I am looking forward to trying my hand at gold panning in the great state of New Hampshire. I have never done it before but my husband and father in law have. There are lots of places to go I am sure. I think a bit more research is needed. Hubby also wants to go to the where the old homesteads were with a metal detector.

I would love to hike a bit of the appalachian trail but dont think I will be ready to do that yet but maybe I will do a little just to say I did some.

Ahhh Research research research.

Foot Surgery and Wheelchair

Decemeber 16 2011 I had to have surgery to correct my foot. I had a Cheilectomy on my right foot. I thought I would be off my foot for a couple of weeks max. Turns out I have been in a wheelchair since my surgery. Its funny how you look at being in a wheelchair before you HAVE to be in one. It looks fun, you get to sit all day people have to help you. Ahhh sounds like the life right? Wrong. This is been the hardest thing I have ever had to do so far. I cant clean , cooking is a nightmare, I cant drive the list could go on and on. Its also funny how people treat you differently, I have people that wont even look me in the eye because I am in a wheelchair. The pain from the Cheilectomy wasnt that bad, but the recovery is long. Hopefully it will be worth it all. I will post an update tomorrow after my appointment. Fingers crossed that this one dr will let me start walking.

Happy Valentines Day

Buying wife first house

Buying wife first house

Guest post of the week by Moises Henderson

I have never been so excited to tell my wife news. I think this might beat when I proposed to her. We have been trying to buy a house for a long time, but couldn’t get approved for a loan. However, last month I was approved and purchased our first home. We are finally homeowners. When I told my wife the news, I thought she was going to faint. She immediately started decorating and going on pinterest to find new ideas. She looked into different ways to save us money, so we could pay the mortgage faster. She was able to decrease our phone bill by 15% and lower our energy costs using Shopelectricityratestexas.com/. I am so proud of her. She is so happy to be a home owner and so excited about saving us

FEET!

I have a foot issue, seems as though I have a case of arthritis in the my big toe joint on my right foot.

going to the foot doctor on Thursday hopefully I will have something to say about it. Right now I cant run on it and it gets very stiff and pops when I flex it. I cant wear heels at all. I tried to fit my foot in a heel at the shoe store but it didnt work . hurt so badly I gave up .  I dont wear heels often but stinks that I cant wear them even if I wanted to.  I will report back when I get done.


BTW wahooo three days until Breaking Dawn.

oh please lottery let me win

So I have my next set of tickets will last me until the end of november. It stinks living in a state with no lottery. So I have to drive to California to get tickets, not like its really far but further than just going to my local gas station. I picked my usual numbers just hoping for them to get picked.
Making my weekly football bets tomorrow. NCAA, NFL ya know the works. Do I really care about football? na not really just want to win. So if I am betting on a game I am right there watching the game.
If I lose my bet I would turn off the tv but my husband likes to actually watch them even without betting on them.  We also like to bet on the horse races when we are at the sports book. Those are fun to watch, I love horses. The other day I bet on one that was like 42/2 and wouldnt ya know it He won. I about came out of my seat. lol. it was pretty funny. I then bet on a trifecta (sp?) all was going swimmingly then this big black horse came out of no where and one with my three in the order I picked but behind him . So I lost. maybe next time I will throw out a banana peel so he slips and wont mess up my bet. I would have won 128 dollars for my 2 dollar bet. oh well. Thats why they call it gambling. I have a bingo tournament coming up too. I love bingo. I sit there right along with the old ladies. Love every minute of it too. My hubby doesnt like to chat in bingo, so I talk to him anyway. lol.
So along with the bets I also have work to do tomorrow. Have to get ready for the garage sale, gonna sell off a bunch of my stuff, including my beautiful fake tree. I decided that I would like a real tree this year. Allergies be Damned I will have something real in my house. I can hardly wait to have the scent of the woods in my home. I may live in the sand but for Christmas I will pretend to live somewhere I actually like. I wasnt cut out to be a desert dweller. I use to get cold all the time but after the hysterectomy years ago I am hot as hell and living in hell just makes this horrible.

So those are my complaints and hopes
recap
hate nevada
wants to win money to move out of this hot ass place.

so enjoy the small things while you can, dream big because everyone needs a dream.
and love, tell people you love them everyday, the last thing you want to live with is regrets. we dont always get a tomorrow so make today count.
