21 Sep 2009 So far… not so good

We’ve been trying to find a place to move to and we haven’t had much luck. We went to see a couple places and the 1st one was $1150 a month and wasn’t really a bad size except our dining room furniture wouldn’t fit in the dining area (tiny, tiny, tiny), the closets had no doors (just shelves on a wall), absolutely no pets allowed (landlord has a big dog though) and the biggest thing was the house was literally 5 feet away from the landlord’s house.

Then we went to see a double wide on it’s own lot. That place was $925 a month and was so tiny. The “master suite” looked like only a twin bed would fit in it. The 2nd bedroom was so small if you put a twin bed in it it would take up the whole room. None of our furniture would fit in this place. You would have to be a little person to live there. The ceilings were just a few inches above hubby’s head and he’s 6′2″. It felt very claustrophobic in there.

We’re probably going to have to put our stuff in storage and live in our camper until we can find a place. Not my idea of fun. Hubby, me and the cat… JOY! At least it has a nice kitchen area.

I’m still packing away here. Hubby brings home a few boxes at a time from work otherwise I’d probably be done by now, if I had more boxes.

Andi, her boyfriend Drew and Benton were here this weekend. Benton is such a good baby and rarely cries. Drew is officially Benton’s dad. He stepped up and adopted him. He’s a good guy. Hubby likes him so that’s saying something.

Andi just left to go back to Texas. She’s going to be stopping in Myrtle Beach to have breakfast with her brother and his girlfriend in the morning. On Friday she’s getting married in a civil ceremony. Her hubby to be is a medic at Ft Hood also. Andi will be deploying the middle of this month and her hubby to be is deploying a couple weeks later.

When she gets back to Texas she has a lot to do, besides getting married… She has to finishing packing up all her stuff and move it all into storage. She’ll have a lot of boxes and furniture, but no Moroccan furniture. Then J will have to pack up his stuff from his house and move that into storage too. It will all be stored for the next year.

So there’s going to be a lot more posts about Andi and J coming in the next year. I hope ya’ll are ready for that!

I’m also going to be doing some shopping for some slip covers… finally. My white couches are starting to turn gray looking. I’ve seen all types from plain to some that make it look like you have Moroccan furniture. When I decide which I want and get them I’ll post a picture.

04 Jul 2008 Portable storage

I was looking online at computer stuff (I’m such a geek sometimes) and trying to find some good stuff on sale. I found a SanDisk 4GB Cruzer Contour USB Drive that is exactly what I need. It would be so easy to store photos on it and take the USB drive to another computer, like at work or to a laptop, to show them off to others. Of course it can be used to store other types of files too.

The USB drive is on sale for $29.99 with FREE Shipping. It’s usually $59.99 so that’s a whopping $30 savings! It’s compatible with Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Mac OS X v10.1.2 or later. It comes with all these U3 compatible PC programs: CruzerSync, SignupShield, SKYPE, AVAST, HP Photosmart and Sudoku/Mahjong. It has 25 MB per seconds read and 18 MB per seconds write speeds. It has Enhanced for ReadyBoost which improves the performance on Vista systems. It has a unique slider USB connector so you don’t have to worry about losing the cap.

The thing I really like about it is it’s so sleek and pretty. It’s different than any other USB drives I’ve seen and I really like SanDisk products. The card in my digital camera is SanDisk and so is my card reader.

Now I just need to save a little money and go shopping! I love shopping online.

26 Jun 2008 Hooked on HGTV
 |  Category: life  | Tags: , , , , , , , ,  | 2 Comments

I love watching the home improvement shows on HGTV. It causes a big problem for me though. It makes me want to do over rooms in my condo. I can’t do that though because I rent.

I’d love to take out the icky bathroom sinks and replace them with pretty Pedestal sinks. The only problem I would have is losing counter and storage space. I wish I could talk the owner into updating this place.. it’s so stuck in the 80’s.

I either need to stop watching these shows or I need to buy my own house.
