They have got to go

What is the "they"? The electric drums, they have not been played in years, and they are just a dust collector. I have looked at prices for evans drums at Guitar Center to see what I can list them for on a couple of sites. I did put a little bug in my hubby's cousin's ear, as he mentioned that his son wants to play drums. I am hoping he calls soon to see set up a time to come over and look at them. I would love for them to go to a home that I know that they will get played and not just put in a corner and forgot about.

Senior Year

Senior year is coming to a close for my baby! Today he is off to Cedar Point with his class. Next week he graduates, then he will be whisked off to the senior all night party. I hope he has a great time. I am just a little said that it took until his last year to finally come out of his shell! He has been such a little social butterfly this year! He went to Prom, with a "friend", who has now become his girlfriend. She's a cute little red head! Just hope she doesn't break his heart! Her mom and brother think he's a great catch, but she still have to finish high school, so only time will tell!

He's home

My hubby is on his way home from work, so I need to get rid of any items relating to the exciting epiphone les paul custom magazine articles, I don't need to give him any ideas. Its "get the house on the market" time! So much to do, and oh so very little time to get anything done! I hope our house will sell quickly, but I fear its going to be on the market for a while, and if it is, my hubby will get sucked back into the "I need to build another guitar or amp!

Games

I said I wouldn't get hooked on any more Facebook games, but here I am addicted to that stinking Candy Crush game! Getting stuck on levels is so frustrating! I am ready to delete the game off of my phone, and just go back to playing Phase 10, I don't get addicted to that one. But then again, I won't have anything to do at work. I just wish that amazon would make a free app for this game, so I can get it on my kindle...but then again, I don't need another thing to keep me up all night!

Home Improvements

The "get the house on the market" has begun! I pulled out all of the hinges my hubby bought, dare I say a year or two ago! I have a ton of stuff sitting on our dining room table as a reminder of everything we need to get done. I thought that would be the motivation he would need to get it in gear. Wrong! Two weeks, almost three weeks later there they all sit! It will be crunch time right up to the wire in getting things done!

I have a longer list of things I need to get for the graduation party! So many photos to get uploaded to the laptop, and get a slide show going, so we can hook it up to the TV.... or I just may print off all of his school year pictures, and just have all of his albums out for people to look at, and just have some photo collages of the pictures I have on the laptop made up to display? So many things to get done, and oh so little time!

Graduation

Who told my youngest he could grow up? These last four years have flown on by! I still can't believe in less than a week, he will betting his high school diploma! Everyone keeps asking me what his plans are for the Fall. I keep telling that when the time is right all will know. He has to be the one to break the news to his grandma, as I will have no part in it! With all that is going on right now, this news may just push her over the top.

New Dads

We have had a few people in our family that have recently had babies, I wonder if the dads looked for a place to buy cheap cigars online? This is one thing John never did. I know its a old tradition, but I am secretly glad that he didn't go ahead with! I am against smoking, and knew that if he had any leftover he would want to smoke them. Having that smoke smell linger around is not something I wanted in my house.

Now if only I could get the oldest to just stop smoking so I don't have to have that small linger of smoke scent on the couch pillows!

Guilty pleasures

What is your guilty pleasure? I would have to say mine is cheesy reality shows/teenie bop shows. This is the final season for the series of The Secret Life of an American Teenager. This show has such poor acting in it, but yet I can't seem to look away or stop watching. Then there is Dance Moms. I still can't believe that there are moms out there that pay someone to yell at their kids like these moms do!

So tell me what are you guilty pleasures are?

Will this be the year?

The year that the house goes on the market and gets sold??? I want to get a new kitchen counter and some other things for the kitchen. I would like to have a lazy susan cabinet, and may check out revashelf's site to see if there is one that will fit our meager budget! Then the kitchen remodel will be finally finished, only after a few years!

Then there is the completion of the bathroom and hallway projects! I would like to paint the living room, but I think I will just skip that and leave it alone. One less headache I will have to endure. We have a lot of work ahead of us, as I want most, if not all, done before June 9th, as that is when Trent's graduation open house is! Time for me to quit my full time job and start cracking the whip around here!

Chicago

Its almost time for the annual girls only trip to Chicago! Every year we say its a must need to get away, but this year boy is it ever! So much has gone on so far this year, that I just need a weekend away, where I don't have to have a care in the world! Three of us original's are going to corrupt yet another Michigan gal! I should be a fun weekend! Just remember, what happens in Chi-town stays in Chi-town!

Doctor appointments

Don't you just love getting old!?!? So many doctor appointments to be made. I just wish I could find a decent place that has reading glasses delivery service, as I think I am in need of some new glasses. Tomorrow its off to the primary doctor for the oh so lovely annual appointment. I dread this, but its also a time I can break down and get some help with everything that has been going on for the last few months.

I feel bad for my doc, as he has no clue what he is in for. I will be a blubbering mess. I am hoping he will give me a note saying I need a few days off. I just want to sit, veg, sleep and or crochet away some of this stress.

Once Upon a Time

Kinda bummed about this week's episode! I am already in mourning over Zombies being on hiatus until October, the least ABC could do is have new shows this week! So now we are watching Despicable Me, until its time for Army wives. I should go make a snack to hold me over until morning, as Fazoli's messed up our order and didn't add my ravioli, so no dinner for me (didn't want to go back out to get it, as its not all that close to our house!).

I say no

The hubby is looking at the ableton live 8 again. I told him no! We have to much to do around the house for him to start messing around with another venture with his guitar! Once we get the house projects complete then we can talk about him pursuing the next adventure! He still isn't 100% finished with the guitar for our nephew, so NO, NO, NO!!!

Am I being mean, probably, but he wants to list the house and we will never get it listed if he doesn't complete the never ending projects we have started, or want to start if he keeps messing with guitar stuff!

Happy Easter

It was a lazy day here at our house. Trent left for Georgia with his friend Bret and family for the week. I have been crocheting and fired up the grill. I am so glad its not as cold so I can grill again. Dinner was delicious, but I am secretly waiting to dig into the angel food cake and strawberries!

He is Risen!!

Squeaky noises

The dryer is making some squeaky noises so I think its time to get the whirlpool dryer repair going. But of course the hubby thinks he can fix it. I will let him look at it, but if he doesn't get it fixed in a timely manor then I will be calling someone to come out and look at it.

I am hoping that when he gets in there to look at the dryer, the "Mr. Fix It" will continue and finish up the last few projects in there to finally have the bathroom remodel complete! Then he can keep on with the other repairs in the hallway, so I can get to the painting.

Girls weekend

Tonight I went out with the girls from work at the Beltline Bar. So nice to go out with them and get to know them a little better outside of work! The girls weekend continued the next night with dinner again with some former coworkers. It was going to be a "cheer me up" night, but it turned into cheering up Stacey after she was fired. Love my girls! Can't wait to hang out with them again!!

17 years

Today my love and I are celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary. We were going to go to Las Vegas to celebrate and renew our vows, but health issues with both of our fathers kept up staying close to home. So we have decided on heading over to the east side of the state. We went to Frankenmuth and Birch Run for some window shopping and shop shopping!

It was really nice to explore Bronner's with not many customers in there. I love looking at all the Christmas ornaments and get ideas of what I might possibly want to do in the future. We then went and had dinner at the Bavarian Inn and then some more shopping. We checked into our hotel and vegged for the night.

We woke to snow, so not what I wanted, as we were heading to Birch Run to shop! Going in and out of stores in the snow/cold was not on my agenda! We made the best of it!
