Nodding off

August 10, 2007 by Tricia

00031527

I’m so tired.

I feel like this cute little puppy.

Hey, have you ever fallen asleep while you’ve been at the computer? I don’t know why, but that’s what’s been happening to me lately.

As you might know I have a lot of pain because of my Crohn’s disease so I’m often up well into the night. Well, at a certain point in the night my pain meds finally kick in and suddenly I’m peering at the computer screen with one eye open, one eye closed. I’m always in the middle of something when this happens.

It’s not unusual for me to nod off when this happens. Then I’ll wake up a bit – my head probably bobbing all over the place, try to figure out what I was doing, blink several times because for some reason I can no longer see properly and then I nod off again.

I think I’m approaching that point right about now. So I’d better finish up what I’m doing or it won’t get finished!

Oh yeah we’re going to have a home theater room

August 10, 2007 by Tricia

When we renovate our basement we are definitely purchasing home theater seating. Our basement is going to be a deluxe rec room!

We’ve got a 50 inch DLP TV and a great theater sound system so why not create a nice home theater room with proper seating?

Of course I think I also want to try to have a spare bedroom in the basement as well. Hmmm does home theater seating come as a pull out couch? LOL well if it does … I could kill two birds with one stone so to speak, couldn’t I?

I’m actually quite tired of all the renovations that we’ve been doing. I just want them done. Is anyone else going through the renovation blues?

Mobile animals

Ok I know this is silly, but when I had my lizards (water dragons and a huge iguana) I always wanted to teach them to drive a small car or put my big iguana on a skateboard.

I never did it … uh huh. I was too afraid of my beloved pets getting hurt or something and I had too much respect for them to try to do something like that to them … but I thought about it.

Have you ever seen the video with the squirrel who water ski’s? I’ve gotta find that video. Now that is funny!

Will they be successful in September?

August 10, 2007 by Tricia

I was just thinking about how our neighbors are going to try to sell their house in September. I don’t know why they didn’t try to sell in June or July. I’m pretty sure the real estate would have been better at that time of year.

I mean if your house looks nice and if your yard has some plants in good condition it should be easier to sell right? Besides, aren’t people with kids looking for houses at the end of the school year so that they can get settled before their child’s new school year starts?

September … yeah I can see houses selling in September but it’s probably less likely that a family with school aged children would buy at that time of year … well unless the parents were moving to the city for a job or something.

Actually maybe this works in our favor. Since we can hear our neighbors much too well it might be good if people who don’t have children buy the house next door. Believe me – we call our neighbors child, a 13 year old boy who’s on the heavy side two tons of fun! No we aren’t really picking on him because he’s a little overweight … it’s just because he’s so loud! He bangs up and down the stairs and when he was younger I swear he used to jump up and down on the couch. Bang, bAng, BaNg! So noisy!

Save your money and drink filtered water

August 10, 2007 by Tricia

I was just discussing how wasteful I think the purchase of bottled water is on my other blog My World.

I’ve never understood why people buy case after case of bottled water. Recent news reports have stated that tests and investigations have shown that the bottled water that is often marketed as spring water is really just local water.

So that means that you are paying more per liter or gallon for bottled water that’s the same as the water coming out of your tap than for gasoline for your car. Think about it!

if you really don’t like the taste of your local tap water why don’t your try one of these new portable water filters. I think they’re a fantastic idea. Just fill the bottle with tap water and it gets filtered right away. Yummy.

You won’t be throwing away plastic bottles that may or may not be recycled. You’ll save money and you’ll still have decent water to drink.
