My neighbors kids are spoiled absolutely rotten.  They just got one of the neatest wooden swing sets I have ever seen.  Really the kids are great kids and I didn’t mean to imply they weren’t good kids.  If my kids were still small, I would have loved to have gotten them a swing set like the one the neighbors got too.

Well I do have grand babies that visit so I still might check into getting one for my yard after all.  There’s nothing I like better than hearing children laughing.  That’s the sweetest sound there is.

Did you hear about the pig in Australia that was holding a woman captive in her home for 10 days?  She had an outhouse (an outside bathroom for those of you who don’t know what that is) and couldn’t even go out to the bathroom without this 176 pound pig attacking her.  The 63 year old woman is an animal lover and said the pig they called ‘Bruce’ kept head butting her bedroom door demanding to be fed.

Okay, I love animals too.  I especially love pork Bar-b-que and bacon.  No animal is going to keep me held hostage in my home.  Not even an animal I raised and loved.  I’m sorry but it would have been taken care of one way or another.  It wasn’t even her pig.  It wandered on to her property 11 days earlier.  The animal was finally captured and taken to a piggery where he will do a stint as a stud.  I still think the woman should have at least gotten some bacon for her misery.

I have gotten more health conscious lately and have been looking for more healthy cooking tips.  As you age, you realize you need to eat better than you did when you were a kid.  As a teenager, a healthy meal was something or anything you could get your hands on quick.  Well as you age, you realize you need more than just something to fill your stomach.  You need something healthy too.  Not to mention, you have to watch those calories or you’ll end up getting bigger and bigger.  No one wants that.

Because of all of that, I found this site to be very helpful and has some great ways to cook in a much healthier way so if you’re with me on this one, check this site out and it just might be as helpful to you as it was to me.

Don’t you hate it when you look so forward to a weekend and then have a lousy Saturday.  It just ruins everything.  My roof leaked, my husband ticked me off, my mother upset me and then good old faithful Daddy had to make sure to upset me the most.  Even your parents can upset you when you’re a grown-up or supposed to be anyway and I think there are times when your husband thinks that’s his job.

Why is it that there are just some days when you wish you would have just stayed in bed or had to work or anything other than what went on?  Why does it seem that when one thing goes down the toilet, everything else has to follow?

Yeah I guess I’m feeling sorry for myself right now so why don’t we all just have a stinking pity party for me?  May as well, I’m throwing a pretty good one for myself.  You might even enjoy it, who knows?  Enough belly aching, there’s always tomorrow and God willing, it won’t be as crappy but we shall see.

My oldest son is trying to save some money and decided to try and find some cheap auto insurance that also gave good coverage. Unfortunately cheap auto insurance usually means that you also get cheap coverage but not this time.  They have comparable coverage to more expensive insurance companies.  One thing I like is that you can choose your payment and coverage too.  That makes it a bargain that you know exactly what you’re getting.
