Get your gold
Now it is even easier to get the things you want with the internet. I remember my grandma telling me stories about how after the war my grandfather had saved in order to buy each of his daughters gold bars to put away for their future. During the time, buying of gold bars was a great idea to save for one’s future. Now, you can buy gold online and have it delivered to you without stepping outside of your house. How awesome is that? I mean I don’t plan on buying gold anytime soon since all the money we get goes to bills, diapers, and gas, but still I am sure there are people out there that would benefit from this service.

Christmas Time
Tonight we will be going to my aunt’s for our annual Christmas dinner. Even though my family consists of a lot of cooky people, I always look forward to spending time with them. In fact, I wish I had more time to spend with each and every one of my family members, even those that manage to annoy me within a five minute conversation. Every year, the dinner is the same. The men will stay in the living room or outside on the porch talking about cars, amt pumps, and God knows what else why the women stay inside and chat about family life while setting everything out and getting the last minute dishes prepared. Then we will all eat and after dinner conversation will be a mix of everyone trying to talk at once about anything and everything while getting a little tired from the turkey. What is Christmas like at your house?

Thanks Dad!
One of the things we have been wanting to do is add a bigger bed to Gray’s room. He currently has two twin beds in his room but we’d like to swap those out for a full-sized bed. With a full, company can sleep in his bed with him and it would give his play space more room. Considering the only people who spend the night are my younger siblings, the bed issue won’t be a problem. Unfortunately, the bed frame we had broke somehow. Thankfully, my step-dad has all of his welding equipment at home so he was able to quickly fix the bed for us. Now let’s hope hubby can stain the wooden parts of the bed and it look okay in time for Christmas. If we do not have his room ready to rearrange by Christmas, we will complete it shortly after. All I know is Gray will be needing a lot more space once he opens gifts!

Insert Present Hint Here
One thing you might not know about me is that I really do not like surprises. I guess this stems from the fact I like to be in the know and in charge most of the time. Hey, when you have a mom who is disabled and take care of younger siblings a lot, you just learn to always be in charge. I am good at keeping my siblings in line and around Christmas I always seem to know what I am getting since I wrap it myself. Well, this year, I have no clue what I am getting from my mom and from my husband. The only clue from my husband is the fact that he left the homepage to shari’s berries up on the computer. Now if my present comes from this site I am going to be one happy girl. In fact, I am really craving chocolate covered strawberries right now by just looking at the images on the site. Ahhh, hubby, you have great taste!

Looking for a job, any job
Since September, my husband has been dilligently looking for a job. He has called about any job available in the paper and even have checked out online job search engines with no luck. The fact that he has no experience that he can claim on an application is really not helping at all. My husband has worked for family friends under the table so he cannot claim those officially and this is turning into something that is biting him in the butt big time. He has even looked for Busser Jobs which isn’t something he really wants to do but to help our family get by he will work any job. He had an interview this morning at Wal-Mart so here is to hoping this interview goes well and he gets the job because let’s face it, we need the money!!

Gift Ideas
I am at a loss for gift ideas for my mom and sister-in-law. I originally wanted to create them baskets full of little items that I know they would love such as homemade bath fizzies, seaweed powder baths, and a sugar scrub. I have most of the items on hand at home but for some reason I cannot find a container that I like to put everything into. I looked at the Dollar Tree, Michael’s, Wal-Mart, and even TJ Max with no luck. Where do you purchase baskets and such for gift ideas?

Finally found it!
After searching endlessly for canon batteries, I finally found the battery I was looking for which fits my sister’s digital camera. She has not been able to use it since Thanksgiving because something happened to her battery. I do not know if it just is a dud or what happened but it will not charge for some reason so she needed a completely new battery. She has not had the money to buy one since she has been saving all her money for other people’s Christmas. Well, thankfully I found it and with a charge for overnight shipping, I should have it tomorrow in time to wrap for Beth to open it Christmas morning. I know she is going to love it and thank God for my mad internet searching skills!
