My son is thinking about refinancing his house.  I didn’t know you could get free mortgage quotes online but his wife did apparently.  She was surfing and found a great place that will give you a quote almost on the spot.  I think that’s just wonderful considering all the mortgage problems there are today with all the foreclosures and a lot of mortgage companies folding.  It’s getting tough out there these days.

The last time I did my grocery shopping I was pleased to find that they had Lipton tea on sale so I picked up several boxes. The problem is when I came home and opened one of the boxes in order to make a gallon of iced Tea, the bags more or less exploded in the hot water.  It made quite a mess everywhere.  I tried again, and the same thing happened.  I found the 800 number for their customer service department and gave them a call.

I received a heart felt apology and was sent several coupons in the mail for several free boxes of Lipton Tea Bags. Now that is what I call good customer service. Nice to see it’s still around.

My youngest son is at the age when he’s starting to break out on his face.  Bless his heart it just started this summer and I really want to try and get it cleared up before he goes back to school.  I found an acne treatment cream that came highly recommended by a friend. Seems her daughter used it and it did work wonders on her skin because I remember when she broke out. Well we’ll be trying it to see if it works as good for him as it did for her.

Squash has always been a favorite of mine and I have several different ways to cook it that I have always enjoyed preparing and serving during these hot summer months.  I have a relative that grew up in or around the Boston area that has served us a wonderful squash dish that I ranted and raved so much about she decided to go ahead and share the recipe with me.  I thought that I might pass this rather tasty recipe along for you to try, I hope you like it.

I woke up this morning, looked at the clock, jumped out of bed because I was late for work and realized it was SATURDAY!!!  I hate it when I do that.  I don’t do that very often.  Well not too much since I was in junior high school, oops, it’s called middle school now.

Anyway, I came home from school and had to read this boring stuff for English Lit. class and fell asleep.  When I woke up, I looked at the clock and it was about a half hour after I normally got up to get ready for school and the sun was going down so it looked kinda like it would at that time of morning.  So I jump off the bed and take off to the bathroom to get ready for school and my little brother said  “What are you doing?”  I looked at him like he was stupid or something and said “Getting ready for school, why?”  Then he started laughing and told me that Mom had sent him to my room to tell me that dinner was ready.  Yeah I felt real stupid about then.
