For some reason, I freak out a bit about whether our house is secure. While I don't go around re-checking if doors are locked, sometimes I do lay in bed wondering if my husband really locked the back door. Ideally, I'd like to get one of the smart home systems for security but, since we have so many animals, I'm not sure if they would set off the detectors. After all, there's the cat that roams at night, the two chinchillas that run in their cage at night, and who knows what the bird does when we're not home. The dogs are crated when we're out so they aren't a big worry. Maybe we could find one that doesn't detect animal movement. I don't know if that actually exists.
Don't ever buy me jewelry
I am picky about my jewelry. Mostly about necklaces though. I like them to lay right on my chest. If they are too short, I feel choked. I'm not sure if a necklace extender would help any. I've never used one before. Anyway, if they are too long, I'm always getting my hands caught when I answer the phone or something. Yes, I am a klutz. I'm not as picky with earrings. I just like them to look nice and not be too heavy. Necklaces though? A half inch could ruin everything.
Such Nice Weather
The weather has been amazing this week. It has been warm and sunny. Today, it's supposed to hit 85 degrees! Time to start looking for baseball gifts so we can get out and run around in the sun. (I am ignoring the fact that rain is supposed to be rolling in tonight.) It's a beautiful day to be outside! Too bad I'm stuck in my tiny, claustrophobic office. At least the sun will still be up when I leave.
More Zumba stuff!
I've been trying to think of some interesting ways to get the word out about my Zumba class. The new Zumbawear line debuted today so I'm thinking about picking up one of the new instructor shirts for me to wear around town. My daughter's school has their open house in a couple of weeks. I could easily wear one of the shirts there. Another thought is advertising flags. I could put a few along the major roads in town. Since I live in a pretty small town, there aren't lot of major roads. I could probably get a dozen or two and easily cover the entire town. It's a possibility.
The mess!
I definitely need some sort of cable management system in my house. There are just tons of wires running all over the place. Under my desk is the worst. Computer cables, monitor cables, keyboard cables, mouse cables....it's a mess. How do you keep your cables from running rampant? Just tie them all together so they aren't all willy nilly or do you have something better? I want suggestions!
Vacation ideas!
The weather is supposed to be pretty nice this week. Despite the predicted thunderstorms, it's supposed to be in the 70s all week. Of course, that makes me think of summer vacation. I would love to spend a week at the beach again...though I'm not sure that my husband or my daughter would like it. I'm still going to look at some vacation rentals at the Outer Banks to see if anything good turns up. It would be so nice to spend an entire week just laying on the beach, napping in the sun. With sunscreen on, obviously!
Eyewear
I really need to get new contact lenses. I have an appointment next Saturday for an eye exam so I can order more. Of course, this leads me to eyeglasses. I already have a pair that I wear a lot but I probably should get a new pair. (Our bird has chewed one of the arms.) On the other hand, if I wear my contacts more, I could get fancy Gucci sunglasses. But I don't really like putting in contacts every morning. Maybe I should think about Lasik....
Happy Easter!
I hope you have a wonderful Easter!
Kids and drugs
With so many kids on various forms of behavior modification medication, I wonder how many of them end up in ADD ADHD Drug Treatment Centers when they are older. After all, how do we know they really have ADD/ADHD? Maybe they are just overactive kids. It makes me so glad that I don't have any of those problems with my daughter. Somehow she turned out just right.
What the heck?
I'm going to take some time today to try to find a good video for Favorite Friday. While I'm looking, I'm going to resist the urge to crawl under an electric blanket and nap. I'm not sure what is going on with the weather. Once again we went from an 80 degree day to a 40 degree day. And it's suppose to rain or thunderstorm all weekend. This sucks. Bring on the summer! Get rid of the cold!
