Toys R Me

Friday my hubby and I got up early, took the kids to school and went for a Venti Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks. It was awesome. Usually I don't get to spend alone time with him until the weekend and even then the kids are home. We decided to go to ToysRUs to get some fun stuff for our son's Easter basket. Unfortunately, they opened at 9:30 and it was only nine. Now right about now you're probably thinking Why the hell do I care about this? Just indulge me for a minute I do have a point, of sorts. So as we were waiting in the car for ToysRUs to open, we saw many, many cars pull up and also wait for this store to open. My hubby and I were totally surprised that there were that many people waiting at 9:30 in the morning to buy toys. As the manager opened the door, letting the small crowd that had formed in to the store,  we noticed seven yes seven (7) cars zoom into the parking lot and park. I was in shock. Was there a sale that was going on that I didn't know about? Hubby and I jumped off the car and hurried into the store. I made a beeline to the Easter stuff expecting to fight the fight of the parent that waited until the last minute for basket stuff but I was surprised to see no one there. I was alone. 

These people weren't there for Easter stuff! Whoat!?! They were there for actual toys! WTF! Anyhoo, we got what we needed and left. Since we were expecting a big snow storm for the weekend we decided to also run some errands that we had been putting off, like checking out campers. That's right! Yours truly has decided to camp her brains out this summer. I feel I need to get back to nature and that this is a good way of doing so. Of course I am not doing anything without benefit of a toilet that flushes. Yes, I see the hypocrisy of my resolve but I can only work on flaw/issue at a time. 

As we took mini tours of different kinds of campers, I noticed that with my taste level the campers got increasingly larger and came with more amenities. By the time we were done, the one that my poor heart had settled on was a 2013 Mercedes Benz Class C Sprinter Camper that was so past my budget capacity that all I could do was cry at all the beautiful interior upgrades. It had all leather interior, granite counter tops, a rain like shower head and a built in latte maker. *SIGH* I walked out of the camper, stooped down in utter disappointment that I could not afford the camper of my dreams. So, I did the walk of shame down the graveled path to the one camper that I could afford. The 2006 hybrid Kodiak by Scamper. It wasn't a Mercedes but it was everything we needed and when I say everything needed, that means it has a toilet and shower. 

I am still searching for the perfect camper that I can afford. Right now that would be called a tent. So, I am off to surf the internet. 

Until next time...

16 days later...

Well, it's been sixteen days since my last post and well I can honestly say that I am totally disappointed. I thought that I would see some sort of growth but I haven't. What's worse is that my nails are so thin and weak that I had to actually cut some of my nails because they tore. Not because they grew. They were weak to begin with but at least they feel a little better. I mean I can now take a shower and the hot water doesn't hurt my fingernails. I am also a bit perplexed at the my second to the last finger. If you look close you can see the part of the nail that had solar on it and the amount of growth but my nail never got longer and this is not one of the one's that I had to trim. Things that make you go hummmm.  So here are my nails. I have been using the Nail-Aid Keratin for 16 days. It says 3 days growth but in three days I saw no growth. I have been receiving e-mails and comments suggesting that I use the O.P.I. Nail Strengthening but I refuse. ...

Change of the guard, nail style

I have had the flu for the past week which offered me the opportunity to spend time with my nails. Turn a negative into a positive, right? Well, after my last post I thought about the products that I was using to try to get my nails to grow.  My Pinterest account  Jennipher Dallas  has been getting a lot of "likes" and repins. My board 'Nails I wish I had'   has especially been getting a lot of attention. One picture in particular has had over 300 likes/repins since my last blog. The picture is of the OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener. I did look up OPI and although they do not do animal testing but there is formaldehyde in it.  When you're sick you think about how you got sick and what you need to do to get better. So this got me thinking about the stuff in the products that I use. Formaldehyde has been linked with Cancer . Now, I'm not going to go into to all that stuff and preach about it. Everyone has to make their own decisions. But I decided t...

Dilemma-ethical-uh?

If you google the word dilemma it comes up with the following definition: "A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives, especially equally undesirable ones." Then goes on to give synonyms like quandary, predicament and vicious circle.  *Sigh* Well, wonders never cease in my world and for the sake of my sanity I hope my five whole readers understand what I am about to spill. Everyone has someone in their family that does not sit right with them (I'm trying to be ambiguous here for a reason). I am no different. I have no real family anymore. Since my father died almost two months ago, I have NO family anymore. Sure, I have a sibling, who is a complete and utter moron. This person is a run away from responsibility, self-centered individual who I have tried to help throughout the years. The other person is a selfish, self-centered, manipulative, gas bag who thinks the world revolves around them and goes out the ...
