04 Mar 2010 Whew… I’m tired!
Author: Charlotte |  Category: life  | Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,  | One Comment

After all I just did I need to check into some Disney vacation packages because I need a vacation!

I just finished doing the dishes. Then I emptied the litter box and gave that a good scrubbing in hot, soapy water. I refilled the box with litter then I took up all of the throw rugs and took them outside and shook them out.

I came back in and swept the floor and got out my Swiffer mop and mopped the floor. My Swiffer pads have Febreze in them and it smells so good in here right now.

JoJo must not like how I smoothed the litter when I put it in there… she just came out from just throwing the litter around in the box. She wanted it arranged to her liking I guess.. hahaha!

The counter is all clean too (I say counter because we have about a 4 ft counter in this camper kitchen and that’s it). I cleaned off the table (junk collector) too.

Now it’s time to rest.. I’m done!

01 Mar 2010 Why do I bother?

I rarely wear make up and when I do it’s usually a little bit of eye shadow and a tiny bit of mascara. I don’t know why I bother to spend money on make up that I rarely wear. I put some on for my interview on Friday and it bothered my eyes. They started burning. So I think I’m going to just give up and not bother with make up.

If people don’t like how I look bare faced then they just don’t need to look at me. Right? So I’ll probably end up needing eye cream for wrinkles too.

When I was younger I used make up all of the time. I guess I just got to the point where I just don’t care. It’s not like I go out looking like hell.. I just go out looking like me. I make sure my teeth and hair are brushed and looking nice but as far as make up goes.. I just can’t be bothered to do all that fussing around. Part of the problem is I can’t see to put the eye makeup on. I wear glasses and have to take them off to put on make up so that means I can’t see what I’m doing. I tried contacts but they bother my eyes something terrible. They get so dried out and my eyes get all red and irritated.

So no more make up for me…

I haven’t run off to some Outer Banks vacation rentals because I couldn’t afford to do that right now. Depression and other life things have kept me away from blogging too much.

Internet connection problems keep me offline quite a bit and it’s doing good today so I’m trying to get some postings done before it goes all wonky again.

The weather here has been very depressing with a ton of snow, some rain and a lot of cloudy skies. Today is bright and sunny and the temperature is supposed to get up to almost 50! I hope the snow is gone until next winter. I’m so tired of seeing white. Well.. it’s kind of dirty white now.. yuk!

I had a job interview on Friday.. I’m hoping that goes well. I have everything crossed that I can cross because I really want to work at this place (I’ve worked there before).

Right now I have to get dressed, go to the store and come back and start changing my other blog.

Have a great day everyone :)

15 Feb 2010 Need to brighten this blog up

I was just sitting here looking at my blog and this theme makes it looks like a cold, dreary winter day. I need to check on some files I have in my online backup and see if I have something a little brighter and cheerier looking.

I need to dump the grays and downer colors for something that will make people smile when they stop by to visit. Something that is warm and reminds us of spring and summer.. not winter. I’m so over winter. We still have tons of snow on the ground and as I go out to the store and stuff I see cars that are so buried in the snow that they probably won’t be able to get those cars out until spring. I’m so done with the white on the ground and the gray of the sky (although the sun is out today.. it won’t last long. They are calling for more snow tonight and tomorrow!)

I’m off to look for something happy for this blog! I hope everyone had a nice Valentine’s Day.

15 Feb 2010 Yesterday was a busy day
Author: Charlotte |  Category: life  | Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,  | Comments off

Yesterday was cleaning day. I went to the laundromat then stopped at Shoprite, CVS, Ace Hardware and Wawa. The funny thing is I didn’t have to travel very far between those stores. They are all at an intersection.. 1 store on each corner.

I picked up a couple things at Shoprite then went to CVS and struck out (I was looking for Tea Tree Oil and couldn’t find any there). Next stop was Ace Hardware where I picked up a couple cans of “canned air” to blow the dust out my electronics. Then I went to WaWa to get my breakfast sandwich and a couple other things.

After all that I came home and blew the dust out of my computer tower and our two space heaters. Then I had to clean up the dust from that stuff so I dragged out the vacuum and the disinfectant cleaner and washed the floor. I put the laundry away and took a well deserved break.

Today I cleaned the windows. I usually don’t do windows often but living in this camper they get dirty quick. I have to clean them about every 2 weeks.

With all the snow still on the ground and what isn’t snow covered is muddy a lot of crap gets dragged in here on our shoes so I have to shake out the throw rugs and sweep the floor just about every day. That’s the next thing on my agenda for today after I get off this computer.

If this winter keeps going the way it has been then hubby and I might be able to move out of this camper soon! I know one thing I need to go shopping for is entertainment centers. Our old one is huge and takes up way too much room. We really don’t need one that big. It’s over 20 years old and just needs to go.

I’d also like to get some nicer living room furniture. The stuff we have I found in the newspaper used. It’s ok but it’s white and it didn’t take long to get dirty. I’d love to get a micro-suede set. They are just so soft and comfortable. That’s what Andi had and I had at my place while she was in Iraq the 1st time. I hated giving that back up to her.

Now all I need to do is find a job and life will be great again.

20 Dec 2009 Buried

We got buried under over 12 inches of snow yesterday and last night. We still have a few snow showers here and there and yesterday we even had thundersnow!

Andi’s boyfriend is going to come over and clear off my car and dig it out. They need to use the car to go to Pennsylvania today. I would do it but my boots are in storage and all I have to wear are a light pair of sneakers!

Hubby is out plowing and has been since early yesterday morning. He did get home about 3:30 am this morning and got a couple hours sleep but he was back at it about 6:30 this morning.

These pictures are a huge difference from the pictures in the post a couple posts down.
