SOCK MONKEY

I love the..... commercial who has Gumbie, The Sock Monkey etc. The sock monkey costume really impresses me......guess it doesn't take much lol

We were going thru our grandmothers house a few weeks back and as we looked thru the boxes I became so excited! I actually ''YELLED'' Sock Monkey. It was too funny they didn't know if I was crazy or just converting back to my childhood!

It did bring back a flood of memories. Memories of innocence,of spending time with my grandmother crocheting,quilting,making sock monkeys even pet rocks.....now that's a whole other story on the pet rock thing .

But, the one that I hold dear was the original brown and white one! We would crochet ,quilt them and just sew them up from scrap! I miss those days and God do I miss her! She taught me so much of the 'simple'' life! You know just doing stuff at home, being creative, using what you had on hand and this took creativity etc.

She also was a well known Artist. Her work is all over- from E TX to Holly Wood And beyond! I just feel the need to say ,''THANK YOU GRANDMOTHER AND I WISHED ID LISTENED BETTER..........YOU ARE ONE OF MY HERO'S AND ANGELS, LOVE YOU!

~TOO FUNNY~

I just noticed my posts on this site are extremely random. I go from Tanning to -Sex And The City -to Church! I guess that just goes to show I'm very versatile huh!

I really have no confessions etc today just thought it was funny and figured I should acknowledge that or people may think I'm ''imbalanced'' or a little ''out-there''!

Actually I hate to tell you I'm neither. I just roll with the punches and say whats on my mind or what ''bugs'' or me makes me happy/sad/glad on any given day!

That's it folks........................


Have an awsum Memorial Day Weekend! Be safe - Be Happy and DON'T Drink and Drive!!

Sunday

As we attended church Sunday it was bitter sweet! We had an awsum service congratulating the High School Seniors, their accomplishments and keeping God in their life.

The bitter sweet part is our Pastor is moving to another Church. They need him and he will do great things there Im sure, but he will be greatly missed.

I pray we get someone who will continue to lift up our Church Family and Community.

~SEX AND THE CITY~

I am a SEX AND THE CITY FAN!!!! I love-love-love it!! My friends laugh because I have all of us as the characters.....noone wants to admit to being Samantha lmao. I think we all have alittle of her in us.

I have already set up a date with the girls of drinks (cosmos of course) and a movie!
After we watch it Ill be back on with rave reviews Im sure! Im sooooo excited....I love me some Aiden and Mr Big (=

Everyone go watch it too and come back and tell me your review and best or worst parts! Im sure youll love it......

I AM A TANNER

I have Owned and Operated a Tanning Buisness for over 20yrs off and on.....mainly on! Indoor tanning was actually invented in Europe as a Theraputic exercise to help elevate vitamin D levels. Humans make an estimated 90% of their Vitamin D from sun exposure to the skin, with UVB in sunlight triggering natural vitamin D production. With research now connecting vitamin D sufficiency with lower rates of many cancers, heart disease, multiple sclerosos, osteoporous, and many other disorders, with our modern day lifestyles which is denying the body regular UV exposure.

Professional indoor tanning industry is doing its part to help individuals of all skin types minimize their risks by teaching them how to avoid sunburn at all costs.

Alot of negative studies do not take into consideration confounding variables such as outdoor exposure to sunlight,childhood sunburns,type of tanning equiptment utilized and the duration and quantity of exposure.

I did not allow my customers to tan over 5-7mins their first session.(went up in 2min increments) You never tanned over 15min, more than once in a 24hr period and if they were ever red or sun burnt I did not allow them to tan period! Thats responsibile buisness. I know all Salons were not like me, but on the most part they are.

The Tanning Industry gets a bad rap and like anything we do can be abused. Espically when many patrons abuse the sun and own their own beds. Tanning in moderation can help medically (as it does me with fibromyalgia), and as above stated, is a great source of Vitamin D. There are side effects to ANYTHING you do! IF you tan in moderation IF you tan sensibly IF you do as instructed and IF you keep a close eye on your body and ANY abnormal moles etc you CAN tan successfully IF you are opposed to tanning then dont and IF your family heridity includes skin cancer then common sense should tell you NOT to tan! Every choice we make comes with consequences, be wise and do whats best for you! If you do not tan in the sun then odds are you will not tan indoors....again be wise!I dont like Dr Pepper , so I choose not to drink it.......its that simple (-;

Gripe Site

I decided from my post on ''The Gripe Site'', that I should reward myself for all my diligent work these days! So what did I want? I want a weekend at the beach with the girls......thats what I want! Truthfully, I already had this planned before I set the seed in the hubbies head! Gotta love 'em.

So, thats exactly what Im going to do and my hubbie the awsum guy that he is said,'' I dont care if you go baby!'' THEN he says......''How much is it gonna cost me??!'' Now normally this would have set me off, but we are dealing with College kids etc and I did shut down my busness, so technically it is ''his'' money. Ughh I hate to even write that. (note: I have worked straight for 35yrs) I told him he'd know when I got back.....sound good?

I didnt want to tell him the Condo was free, because its a friends Aunts. Why didnt I want him to know? Because I was in the process of sharing this information when he asked THE question!! So now he will have to sweat it out until my safe arrival home lol Yes, I did say it was ''technically'' his money, BUT its ''technically'' my pride when he asks THAT question (-;

I figure after helping to buy the bacon,cooking the bacon and serving up the bacon for 26yrs he would have learned NOT to ask certain questions lol Men never learn....some questions are ment to be thought but not said. Hummmm........I think I need some new clothes for this 3day trip......yep, that should help my pride!!
