July 23 Condolances NeededAs I was checking my emails yesterday I was delighted to see one from my son. He said his gunny (I guess that's his gunnery seargent) wants to wait on deploying them until they get a little more training. I wrote him back and said yes I do think you need more training, LOL the longer he stays out of Afghanastan the better, I'm certainly not anxious for him to go. He said he will definately let me know when he gets word.
We recently had our A/C worked on but now we're having problems with the thermostat no matter what we set it at it seems to turn itself down and we will be freezing we usually set it at at between 78 and 80 degrees but the next thing you know it'll be at 73 degrees. Thats a little too chilly for us desert dwellers.
As I was looking at updates a couple days ago I noticed a plea for prayers from a family member of a friend on my space who had fallen ill and was very sick in the hospital, I left a comment that I would keep him in my thoughts and prayers as well as his family during this difficult time what I found disturbing was I was the only one who had left a comment, we had little correspodence, but I felt the need to comment as I know firsthand the heartbreak that they felt especially as I recieved another update just yesterday that Rufus had passed away I don't know if anyone on my friends list had him on their list and might have missed that update but if so I'm sure his family would apprecite your condolances.
Thats all for now until next time have a great day!! July 22 What My Name Says About MeYou entered: Colleen There are 7 letters in your name.

Help me Mr/Ms WizardI was having alot of problems trying to get on the internet yesterday it kept telling me "Server not Found" its done that before so I didn't think much of it I just tried again later but this time it just started acting really strange flashing off and on showing different windows. I hope I don't have all these problems again today another friend had told me they were also having problems getting on the Internet so maybe its just a problem with MSN , anyway I noticed the pop-ups on my computer are now being blocked thats a good thing as I still have not added any anti spyware , when I rebooted the computer Dell added a 30 day free trial Anti spyware because I said I couldn't afford the Norton, I'm sure thats expired by now but I still have the icon on my desktop I know before you add a new spyware you need to make sure you get rid of any other spyware you might have, as I was trying to decide which program to go with I went through the all the suggestions all my wonderful friends gave me and made a list, here they are in no particular order,1) Adaware along with Spybot Search and Destroy it's totally free, that word speaks to me LOL it's also recommended by PC magazine, I recieved 2 recommendations for that, 2) One Care it's free for 90 days, $50.00 online or $30.00 at Walmart 3) AVG 4) Mc Caffee, 5) Internet Security Plus ($79.99) it includes Anti virus, Anti spyware, Anti spam, Anti phishing, andFirewall, herein lies my dilema which one do I choose? I need to find something soon I think I will probably go with the Adaware now since it is free, but my boyfriend doesn't think I know what I'm doing so he's afraid I'll screw things up but it can't be that difficult and since I have so many computer savvy friends out there I'm sure I could call on one of you for help.
I noticed a alot of my friends have been going to this site http://paulsadowski.com/numbers.asp to find out what your name means so me being the curious cat that I am (being a Leo) I had to try it and found it to be pretty accurate I usually don't believe in this kind of stuff but it was fun and interesting. I was going to post my results so all of you who have known me awhile could judge for yourself but I couldn't figure out how to do it, so I thought I'd try a few of my friends and family members names and found it to be also pretty accurate. it's just something fun to do.
As you may or may not have noticed I'm making some more changes to my space , I would like to add a radio but again, don't know what I'm doing so any help or advice you might have would be greatly appreciated, I noticed alot of you have a beautiful collection of music on your spaces, I thought it would be a nice addition.
Well I guess thats about all for now until next time have a great day everyone!! July 21 Furnished with GratitudeI feel like I've been put through the wringer, my body just aches but it always does the day after I've had the rugrats, but my daughter was able to get everything loaded up with the exception of a comforter and a few throw pillows for the couch , her friends grandmother is unfortunately in a rest home with alzheimers and they have to sell her condo so they gave alot of her furniture to my daughter, they gave her two beds with comforter sets, a dresser and nightstands, and a couch and matching chair, she was also given a kitchen table and two barstools from her cousin so she will have everything she needs to furnish her apartment luckily it didn't rain yesterday and her friend brought her boyfriend and brother along to help move everything she said her storage is full to the brim. This is such a blessing, we were worried she wouldn't have any furniture.
Today I have to call around to get new insurance it seems they go by your zip code and your credit rating now, we also no longer have a two car discount, so as of August our premium will be going up it doesn't seem to matter thet we both have a good driving record. (Knock on wood) but it would be increased by about $64.00./mo
I was able to have a quiet, and relaxing evening with my boyfriend after the kids left. I sure do love them but these old bones can only take so much at least I got a work out. I'm sorry I didn't get around to leaving comments as I was exhausted.
I was able to talk to my son on Saturday he said he still isn't sure if he will be deployed to Afghanastan they had a bad storm moving through and it started pouring down on him so we couldn't talk long as his phone only works outdoors, but he sounds good. He said he got my e-mails, I had forwarded him one someone had sent me from Florida Power of an Aligator and a bunch of rattlesnakes he seemed to have been mostly enthused by that one LOL. he was actually just amazed by the size of this thing I will try to get the picture and add it. Have a great day everyone.!!
July 20 Just a day in the life of Meema I woke up about 2:45 am to the sound of thunder and pouring rain we have a sky light just above the stairs and it intensifies the sound of the rain my boyfriend was just leaving for work luckily he doesn't have a long drive as I'm sure the streets were flooded.I watched the grandkids last night, my daughter said the baby hadn't slept all day and that she's been very clingy, so after dinner I gave her a bath and layed her down she went right to sleep my grandson however was bouncing off the walls thank goodness she got him enrolled in Football yesterday, he brought in his shoulder pads and helmet in I said why did you bring all that, he said the coach wanted him to sweat in it!! he wanted to go swimming and I did too but the baby was asleep and my boyfriend had to go to bed early. So I tried to keep him entertained we played a few games and watched wrestling on t.v. until my daughter got back, she had to borrow the truck this morning to move some furniture into storage so I'm watching the kids for her again apparently I left my phone downstairts last night so I didn't hear it she came by and banged on the door its hard to hear from upstairs but she said she and my boyfriend had been calling all morning and he was getting worried but we went by his store to pick up the truck and I drove her car home. my grandson is playing a video game and my grandaughter is harassing him. I'm just about to go make them some pancakes and bacon I make them in the shape of Micky Mouse , they like that well I'm back, That was fun LOL, I'm kidding these kids are wild but we made it through breakfast I sure had my work cut out for me though, I got the kichen cleaned my grandson gave the rest of his pancakes to the dog, Hmmm... would that have something to do with my cooking? well at least the dog ate it, my grandaughter spilled her milk everywhere that was a mess , then when I wasn't looking my grandson gave her a cup of juice it wasn't in her sippy cup though I said I told you not to get into stuff without asking he said I asked God, I said, then he would have told you to ask meema. I snapped a few pictures of them, yea, they look sweet but looks can be decieving. just kidding they're meemas sweet babies! Have a great dayeveryone!!
