Buyers regret…

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

I can’t believe I’m going to say this but I’m having buyers regret over a vacation we just booked last minute. What is wrong with me?? My husband and I spent 2 hours in AAA going over the hotels in Myrtle Beach and at the time I was ok with the last minute trip. I was really going to have to scramble to get everything packed and it didn’t help having my brother and my niece and nephew visiting from out of town. But somewhere, somehow my gut was not agreeing with the trip we just booked. I was driving into the station last night and my stomach would not stop churning. My gut was pretty much screaming at me that this was not a good idea and I needed to somehow convince my husband of my sixth sense. It really stinks cause I was all set to head to the beach but I just could not ignore this feeling. Has that ever happened to you? I’ve learned the hard way that when you don’t listen to your inner voice that bad things can happen. But I have learned my lesson and luckily it has got me out of some dangerous situations. So I pleaded my case iwth my husband and explained that it was a bad idea and that we could go some other time. He pouted a little but he was a trooper! Poor guy. So I canceled the hotel reservations and I can’t even explain how good I feel now. All seems right with the world. Who knows what that “feeling” meant….We might have been in a car wreck, had something stolen off of us, maybe something far worse but I definitely feel like we made the right decision. Don’t feel bad for us though. I told my husband we could go wherever he wanted, my treat so I have a feeling there will be alot of driving involved since he LOVES to drive. I’m all set to take my first vacation of 2009!! At 5am on Friday morning I’m sooooo there!

Best baby gift from a DJ!!!

Friday, July 17th, 2009

Alright, so you read the prior post about shopping for baby gifts…well I found the best gift!! Not sure if you have heard about this..they had a write up in People Magazine awhile back so I guess I’m a little late to the party! It’s called Rockabye Baby and it’s current music that is made into lullabyes for baby! How cool is that? Check out the link.. http://www.rockabyebabymusic.com I always try to find gifts that are unique and represent me and I couldn’t have come up with something better! My husband will love the Metallica, Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin cd’s. This would be perfect because really? How many of us know ALL the lyrics to lullabies? A perfect one would be one of the two Beatles cd’s and you actually can sing to your baby because you know the lyrics! I think I may get some for friends that are expecting and I may just get a couple for me because they are soo soothing! Make sure you check out all the cd’s on the music page. They have lullabye versions of The Eagles, Beach Boys, Green Day, No Doubt, U2 plus tons more! They even have a poll on there asking what group they should cover next. I voted for Journey but some of the options were Van Halen, Motley Crue, White Stripes and some others. So if you have some baby showers to go to in the near future then you need to order these or if you want them for yourself like me then I promise I won’t tell anyone!

Why don’t we click?

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

I consider myself to be a very outgoing person but growing up you couldn’t get me to say two words to people. That was my mom’s biggest issue with me. I was never bad nor did I misbehave but she would get so mad at me because when she introduced me to people and I would look down and dig my toe into the ground. Luckily by 7th grade I grew out of that. These days I’ll talk to whoever will listen. But even for an outgoing person like me and someone who enjoys good conversation there are some people we just don’t click with and trying to talk to them is like pulling teeth. Why is that? I find myself digging for some witty comment to get them laughing but instead I spit out some one liner and nothing…… I guess I tend to try a little too hard because I don’t want someone walking away thinking that I can’t carry on a conversation. I’m now starting to think a little bit differently….maybe the problem isn’t me, maybe it’s them. So do me a favor when you see out and about please talk to me that way I’ll think we really click!

Baby showers (it’s not for me!)

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Hello, Hello! Wow long time, no type…sorry about that! My computer has been taking up residence at the Geek Squad headquarters and we just got it back today. Didn’t get time to actually hook it up but I guess that’s on the agenda for later today and reinstalling all the programs…yuck!
Anyway, I have to make some stops today at Babys-R-Us and Target to get some “baby” stuff. Before you even go there….NO IT”S NOT FOR ME!! Thank God! My hairstylist is expecting and her baby shower is this weekend. Just like normal I’m really behind in calling to let her mom know that I can’t make the shower due to a station appearance and I haven’t done any shopping yet! So I think it would be fun to drag my husband into Babys-R-Us just to see his facial reaction! I’m sure there will be eye rolling and lots of dumb questions like “What is this for?” as he points to a breast pump and “Why would a baby need this?” when he sees a diaper genie. Oh, I can just see it now….maybe I should take along the flip camera to catch all the fun.

Ghost???
