Webkins anyone?

We are visiting up north. And of course my daughters find all sorts of new and interesting things to do up here. Well a few days ago, my loving mother, bought my daughter a webkin and the other a TYgirl. Anyone know anything about these at all? Anyone have any kids that play with these?

Just wondering. I had never heard of them before. Saw in TOPS they were $30 retail and my mind reeled. Mom got them for much less. Just curious. Leave a note :)

Organization everywhere, to include the garage!


I am on a quest. A quest to be more organized. One of the most unorganized places is the garage. I groan when I think of going out there to look for anything! Garage storage would be such a great thing. I am looking into all the ways to improve this under utilized space.

Think about it. I know if you are anything like me you have boxes and bins all just stashed any and everywhere in your garage. Garage storage all nice and neat would be so cool. Peg boards, storage cupboards, tool caddy and the whole nine yards. I want my garage to look like this.

And tell the truth, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to park your car in the garage? I mean, we know with all the stuff just thrown in there you never park in there do you? Think organization with me!!!!

This isn’t funny anymore!

Most of you know that I reside in a southern state. I am not from the south. I very much look forward to my trips home, in upstate New York. It’s October. The leaves should be turning their bright hues of autumn. The temperatures should be nice and comfy. Chilly enough to be wearing a jacket at night.

What do I get?  It is eighty some degrees out there today. The trees are still green. I don’t get it. Where is my fall?  Well …

I guess I have gotten a lot accomplished the past week so I should be happy. Really I should. I got the court hearing out of the way. And it went my way, so that is good. I got to see my Precious Goddaughter. She is such a sweet heart. I got to see my big brother. Love you! I of course have spent some great times with my parents. I also got the chance to see my Aunt and Uncle up from Texas and my Dad’s cousin and his wife up from Philly. So it has been a very good time.

But I want fall. Before I have to go back to the south, I want a taste of the time of year that makes me home sick :( But the weather man says to expect to break record highs again tomorrow. Oh well. I will be back in December. There best be snow!!!!
