Not Really Coherent Wordful Wednesday

These are some cuties, I have to say! Colbi wouldn't look at me, she was fascinated by my pant leg!!

Today has been a good one so far. I was able to visit with my sister this morning, then go to Walmart during the week day, which is actually a pretty relaxing experience. I have some plans for projects that I am not ready to start right now but sometime in the near future, so I was picking out some fabric and paint. Then, I went down the toy aisle and mentally gathered some birthday and Christmas gift ideas for the kids. I was also able to go to the gardening section and look at some flowers. They didn't have much of a selection today, but that is also something I'd like to think about in the future. While I was there, I also saw that they are now making flavors of my very favorite creamer and I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and try my first one out!! (I got the cookie one, in case anyone is interested).

In the past couple weeks, I've been not working and "recovering" (I put that in quotations because rest really hasn't been on my radar, as it probably should be), but my time and mind have been free to focus on other things besides work. I have to say, it's been a great experience to get this time, while limited, to really just hang out and let life happen and take it in.

I got on an interesting comment conversation on Facebook and it led me to think that Facebook needs to have different divisions:

Stay at Home Mom Facebook Feeds

Pictures of Food Facebook Feeds

Christian Verses and Comments Facebook Feeds

"Back in My Day" Facebook Feeds

Pictures of my Kids/Grandkid Facebook Feeds

I Am Looking for a Job Facebook Feeds

Very Long Status Update Facebook Feeds

I Am a Negative Nelly/Nancy Facebook Feeds

I think that covers most all updates, right??

Well, I am off to either lay down or paint my bookshelf, it's really a coin toss at this point.

What is Your Skin Care Regimen?

Since turning 34 this year, I've been really trying to make sure I am taking care of my skin. I have been using Cover Girl Liquid Powder for years, but it always seemed to break my neck out. And full disclosure, my face cleaning routine consisted of using Avery's baby wipes (which actually do remove eye makeup surprisingly well). So, needless to say, my skin didn't always look its best. So, I received some gift cards for my birthday and I decided to go ahead and spring for some better products. First thing I did was get something designed to clean my face. I ordered the Olay ProX Microdermabrasion System. This system came with the battery-operated scrubber with both a brush and foam pad, plus every day face wash and microdermabrasion wash to be used twice a week. I have really loved using this system. The beauty is that you can really use any face wash you'd like. I will probably buy a pore-reducing wash after the tube they sent me is empty. This syst...

Why I am Pro Universal Healthcare and Changes to Our Healthcare System

Due to my recent proactivity with my credit and paying off debt, I decided to give the hospital a call where I was admitted about a month ago and ask about my bill. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss it in the mail and I wanted to get an idea of what I'd be paying for my stay. I get on the phone with the billing department and the woman is just as nice as can be, really. She was surprised I'd even called her, considering I didn't even have a bill yet. She told me she'd sent the bill over to my insurance to be approved and paid but they hadn't heard back yet. "Just out of curiosity," I asked, knowing I would be responsible for 20% of the final bill, "how much was it?" What I heard next shocked me. "$61,000" she said. I said, "$61,000? I was only in the hospital for a night and only on anti-biotics, you can't be serious! My daughter cost me less than a third of that to give birth to and I was in the hospital two nights!...

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this! I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...
