Hello out there?? <p style="text-align: center;">Wow! It's literally been 364 days since my last post! One whole day shy of a whole year? Yikes!! How in the heck did that happen? Lemme see. Umm. Time flies when you are having .. Fun? Umm. Work. Work. Visiting my MIL at her Ladies Home. Work. Work. A two day craft fair that actually went very well!! RSV. Work. MIL. Work. Work. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Somewhere in all of this, I ended up being blessed with a new Sawgrass Printer and an 8 in 1 Heat Press. My brother in law loved the 4 in 1 Can Cooler cups that I made him and my sister in law, so he saw potential to help me earn some money with better equipment. I'm still struggling with gremlins here and there, issues with ghosting, issues with printed wine cups when the printed area was too high on the cup, issues with my old printer and the Sawgrass needing more ink (Whoa! Ink runs $300!). My brother in law wanted me to try and mass produce cups to sell in downtown Kansas City, but I'm not great at design yet. I can't use anyone else's designs, especially NOT here in KC. I would get shutdown in a heart beat! "Do you have a drone? You could send it up to take aerial pictures of Kansas City." Umm. Noooo. Fresh out. Great idea. But. No. I do not. </p><p style="text-align: center;">In the meantime, I've made a few cups. Made some "Wine Doozies" aka "Koozies" (can't call them Koozies because that phrase is trademarked). Made some Air Fresheners. Made some Car Coasters. Sold quite a bit at the 2 day craft fair, despite being up on the 4th floor and not being the only sublimation booth. I tried selling some of my faux leather keychains but lol, I couldn't even give any of those away! What the heck? Alrighty then! Made some keychains for a friend battling Breast Cancer and then some Air Fresheners and Car Coasters when her 2nd sister started her own battle with it. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Other than that, I've been distracted by other craft projects. Wooden name signs. Wooden heat gun and stencil items. However! It will all tie together in one nice, neat little wine bundle. I'm going to make wooden trays, charcuterie boards, wine cups, wine "doozies", and some other assorted wine items for a basket deal. Figured I could also toss in some BBQ bundles with a tray, chef's apron and hats, engraved tools, charcuterie boards, wine cups or glasses for the ladies and a few other odds and ends. I figured this idea would be lit! Literally! </p><p style="text-align: center;">Alrighty then! Until next year.. Umm.. Next time!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Peace!! I'm outtie!!</p>α¦ Jans Life According To Milo α¦http://www.blogger.com/profile/07319105604380540520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838336074466073747.post-61164934861144394982022-09-04T08:18:00.001-07:002022-09-04T08:18:21.128-07:00Annnnndddd..

Her last day is at the end of July!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Time for me do possibly do something else with my life. Orrrrr.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Just go back to Customer Service again.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Hopefully I can find someplace quiet to work this time.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I know that sometimes we can ask for certain things to help us do the job we are supposed to do,</p><p style="text-align: center;">I can ask them for a quiet noise proof clear box to work in. Lol.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Been working on some other craft items too. Kept doing my research after seeing</p><p style="text-align: center;">someone sublimating a tumbler on TikTok. I loved the idea and it looked so easy!!</p><p style="text-align: center;">I gathered all of the necessary supplies, a new printer, ink, paper, tumblers of all kinds</p><p style="text-align: center;">and then I was finally ready to give it a shot. I just started yesterday and so far, it's been </p><p style="text-align: center;">mixed results! The Chiefs cooler cups are great - except that the print is upside down! Lol.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Tried it twice, thinking that I had the paper right side up last time only to have another</p><p style="text-align: center;">upside down print. However! I did a Hello Kitty cup for myself with a Fruit Infusion</p><p style="text-align: center;">cup and it turned out fantastic! Most people cover the entire cup with the picture, but they</p><p style="text-align: center;">also fight "ghosting" and usually have a well defined line on the back where the ends of the</p><p style="text-align: center;">paper meet. I chose to leave space at the bottom, top and the side of the cup instead.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I bought a Cricut Air Explorer 2 and some vinyl and added my initials in my</p><p style="text-align: center;">niece in law's font that she calls, "HeartFreakinTastic!" I love it because it looks</p><p style="text-align: center;">great and has hearts on the letters. It looks great on the cup as well.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I have a used convection oven that worked yesterday but with some issues!</p><p style="text-align: center;">It doesn't have a setting for 400 degrees, and stalled at warming up at 350 until</p><p style="text-align: center;">I turned the dial past 400. Then it got TOO hot, and then too COLD while trying to do the </p><p style="text-align: center;">cups. One cup had a silver metal tab at the bottom that not only made the cup and oven</p><p style="text-align: center;">smoke, but also burned the tab off. That can't be good! I'm replacing the oven after</p><p style="text-align: center;">finding a great replacement on Ebay. All in all, I did pretty well on my 1st day, even</p><p style="text-align: center;">with my boo boo/s!!

Alrighty! With Raisins.. Wait! Whut? Yup!! Raisins!<div align="center">
Growing up, one of my favorite dinners was spaghetti.</div>
<div align="center">
My mom used to make the best spaghetti sauce ever.</div>
<div align="center">
I found the recipe in her book and have made</div>
<div align="center">
it from time to time, but it's been so long</div>
<div align="center">
since I made it.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I told the guys I work with that I would make it for</div>
<div align="center">
them and so I finally got around to starting it today.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I made some with raisins and some without.</div>
<div align="center">
The key is to let it simmer and plump</div>
<div align="center">
up the raisins, because the sauce</div>
<div align="center">
soaks in and gives the raisins a great saucy taste</div>
<div align="center">
and the sauce a great, sweet taste.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I can't wait until lunch.</div>
<div align="center">
This house is smelling great.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>

<div align="center">
Add all ingredients and let them simmer for 4-6 hours.</div>
<div align="center">
Add some extra water to thin it out if needed.</div>
<div align="center">
Enjoy!</div>

Survived the zoo on Monday..</div>
<div align="center">
Made it even though we</div>
<div align="center">
walked around almost the entire</div>
<div align="center">
park. Missed seeing the Tigers and the</div>
<div align="center">
Tree Kangaroo areas, but</div>
<div align="center">
we ended up getting to see a lot of other</div>
<div align="center">
great exhibits instead.</div>
<div align="center">
A lot of the animals were taking a breather</div>
<div align="center">
and just laying around not doing much..</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
But then! There was this great treat!</div>
<div align="center">
Stingray Bay!</div>
<div align="center">
We got to pet the Stingrays..</div>
<div align="center">
I know that a lot of the zoos and</div>
<div align="center">
aquariums have this activity now and I'm glad</div>
<div align="center">
that the KC Zoo does too.</div>
<div align="center">
I realized after petting a few of them, </div>
<div align="center">
the longer you leave your hand in the water,</div>
<div align="center">
the more stingrays come to greet you.</div>
<div align="center">
I think I had about 5-7 lined up in a row just waiting</div>
<div align="center">
to cruise by and be pet.</div>
<div align="center">
They feel a lot different than what I expected.</div>
<div align="center">
Some had hard bodies and some were</div>
<div align="center">
super soft and squishy towards their little wings.</div>
<div align="center">
: ).. Lol.</div>
<div align="center">
I absolutely loved it!</div>
<div align="center">
And I highly recommend it if y'all ever get the</div>
<div align="center">
chance - don't pass it up!!</div>
<div align="center">
These little creatures are super duper friendly and sweet!</div>
<div align="center">
Check out this great video!</div>

Never seem to make it back here very often these days.</div>
<div align="center">
Getting ready to enjoy a trip to the Kansas City Zoo tomorrow.</div>
<div align="center">
Started looking at some of the animals there</div>
<div align="center">
and found some curious ones..</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Of course, our favorite is Nakita the Polar Bear..</div>

<div align="center" style="border-image: none;">
don't remember seeing before..</div>
<div align="center" style="border-image: none;">
This one is a Tree Kangaroo..</div>

<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kinda looks like...</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
A normal cat?</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Definitely not something you </div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
would expect to see at the Zoo..</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
This should be fun minus all of the walking..</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our zoo is spread out over a large area</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
and although I've walked the entire zoo before,</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not as excited as I once was. Lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are some animals that I'm like..</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yup. Seen 'em!</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Don't reallllly need to see them again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll hang back with the slower people and take our</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
time moseying around the front to middle</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
zoo area.. : )..</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Besides! Most of my favorites are closer</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
to the front! Toss in my penguins</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
that are right next to the Polar Bears and</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm good!</div>

<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Spread out for sure!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that little spot in between the two big pictures?</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's got a good sized concrete bridge that is over what has</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
to be about a 50' gulley. It freaks me out to walk across it.. </div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am NOT a fan of heights! ACK!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that swinging bridge? </div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm ok if I'm on it by myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which is hardly ever..</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yikes!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I will skip that area.</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Been there and done that several times!</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm good skipping the Gorillas!</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
: )..</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alrighty..</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Catch ya later..</div>
<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="border-image: none; clear: both; text-align: center;">

Been crazy busy around here lately..</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
My mother in law moved to Fort Meyers, Florida</div>
<div align="center">
at the end of April and we ended up</div>
<div align="center">
inheriting several bits of furniture before she left,</div>
<div align="center">
which I truly appreciate! : )..</div>
<div align="center">
I don't blame her for moving down there,</div>
<div align="center">
you sure wouldn't have to twist my arm!!</div>
<div align="center">
Sun? Sand? The Gulf of Mexico?</div>
<div align="center">
She's living with my brother in law and his wife</div>
<div align="center">
in a senior gated community close to the beach..</div>
<div align="center">
I've always said I wanted to end up somewhere</div>
<div align="center">
coastal and this looks like a great place!</div>
<div align="center">
Humidity? We have it too.</div>
<div align="center">
Big bugs? Yikes! Sprays! Electric flyswatters?</div>
<div align="center">
Bug zappers? : ).. I could still make it work!</div>

<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Started a new healthy lifestyle program at</div>
<div align="center">
work and did really well at first.</div>
<div align="center">
I was on a roll eating the Fold It Flatout wraps</div>
<div align="center">
with turkey bacon (nuke it in the microwave for two minutes!)</div>
<div align="center">
for breakfast and making some deeeelicious</div>
<div align="center">
and healthy lunch pizzas with the same wraps in the </div>
<div align="center">
air fryer. I would add a little pizza sauce, a couple</div>
<div align="center">
pieces of turkey bacon, veggies and a little cheese and cook</div>
<div align="center">
them for about 5 minutes in our Power Fryer XL</div>
<div align="center">
where they came out nice and crispy and</div>
<div align="center">
amazing. I dropped 8 pounds in three weeks.</div>
<div align="center">
Until I started stress eating...</div>
<div align="center">
I have always said that I have a split personality and</div>
<div align="center">
her name is Aunt Dorine. However, there have been times here</div>
<div align="center">
lately where I've been SOOOOO irritated that I found out</div>
<div align="center">
SHE has a split personality named, "Aunt Dayum!!!"</div>
<div align="center">
She needs chocolate to soothe her irritability. : )..</div>
<div align="center">
Whodathunkit? "Aunt Dayum!!!" has a split personality</div>
<div align="center">
named, "Aunt Dammit!"</div>
<div align="center">
She requires shrimp or pizza.</div>
<div align="center">
If you could make a shrimp pizza?</div>
<div align="center">
That would be great!</div>
<div align="center">
Just put it on the table quietly and slide it over!</div>
<div align="center">
So now you might understand why I started</div>
<div align="center">
stress eating. Lol. Whew.</div>
<div align="center">
Good news though!!</div>
<div align="center">
Lives have been saved with chocolate, shrimp and pizza.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
On another note.. We have battled house mice for about</div>
<div align="center">
five years. Battled being a subjective term.</div>
<div align="center">
More like lost the battle.</div>
<div align="center">
Someone warned us - Don't put brush up against your</div>
<div align="center">
house because you will end up with mice.</div>
<div align="center">
Pfffft. Whatever.</div>
<div align="center">
Yeah.</div>
<div align="center">
Be warned.</div>
<div align="center">
DON'T put brush up against your house.</div>
<div align="center">
Mice will get in.</div>
<div align="center">
And never get out.</div>
<div align="center">
Ever.</div>
<div align="center">
Never ever.</div>
<div align="center">
If you see one? It's too late. You have more.</div>
<div align="center">
Trust us.</div>
<div align="center">
Hubs finally decided to put out a gob of mouse poison</div>
<div align="center">
and put one little chunk under one of our appliances.</div>
<div align="center">
We think a mouse must have pushed it back out</div>
<div align="center">
and our youngest dog was playing with it until my hubs</div>
<div align="center">
tried to get it from him - and the dog ate it.</div>
<div align="center">
I got Fergus to the emergency vet's office within the hour</div>
<div align="center">
and they made him toss his cookies and a fairly good sized chunk</div>
<div align="center">
of the poison tablet. They gave him charcoal and some Vitamin K1 and </div>
<div align="center">
sent us on our way in exchange for a huge vet bill.</div>
<div align="center">
Fergus is still doing alright but is still taking Vitamin K1 just in case.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
After that, I decided to try some of the little</div>
<div align="center">
Victor Pest Chaser Plug Ins. They are expensive,</div>
<div align="center">
it's $18 for a set of three plug ins at Walmart.</div>
<div align="center">
However?</div>
<div align="center">
I bought four packs.</div>
<div align="center">
I put one plug in in every room of our house.</div>
<div align="center">
I have not seen one mouse since then!</div>
<div align="center">
Seriously?</div>
<div align="center">
Hubs says it's because of the poison.</div>
<div align="center">
Right.</div>
<div align="center">
Not one mouse since April 2nd.</div>
<div align="center">
We used to have four or five of them running around upstairs</div>
<div align="center">
and in the basement at any given time.</div>
<div align="center">
They were starting to become used to us as well,</div>
<div align="center">
and almost friendly. One was hanging out</div>
<div align="center">
on the couch with my hubs one day like, <br />"Hey. 'Sup?"</div>
<div align="center">
I plugged these in and all of a sudden!!</div>
<div align="center">
The mice were gone!</div>
<div align="center">
GONE.</div>
<div align="center">
They packed their ditty bags and left the building.</div>
<div align="center">
I've had better luck finding Elvis!</div>
<div align="center">
These little doo dads?</div>
<div align="center">
They are AMAZING!!!!!</div>
<div align="center">
If you have mice and you don't want them???</div>
<div align="center">
I HIGHLY recommend these!!</div>

<div align="center">
No poison! No poisoned pets!</div>
<div align="center">
No muss! No fuss!</div>
<div align="center">
No dead, smelly mice!</div>
<div align="center">
Gone.</div>
<div align="center">
Zero mice.</div>
<div align="center">
Five years.</div>
<div align="center">
Five whole years.</div>
<div align="center">
Gone after plugging these in.</div>
<div align="center">
I cannot say enough about these plug ins.</div>
<div align="center">
Trick is to get enough to cover every area in your house.</div>
<div align="center">
They work. And they work very well!</div>
<div align="center">
No mice.</div>
<div align="center">
Well - lemme digress for a moment.</div>
<div align="center">
I didn't plug any in the garage.</div>
<div align="center">
I tried selling some Hempworx CBD Oil products a while ago.</div>
<div align="center">
I had six packages of dog cookies.</div>
<div align="center">
I didn't want the house mice to get them so.....</div>
<div align="center">
I put them in the garage.</div>
<div align="center">
Where I didn't plug any of these doo dads in.</div>
<div align="center">
Guess what happened?</div>
<div align="center">
Yup.</div>
<div align="center">
Our garage mice ate every single cookie.</div>
<div align="center">
Every. Single. Cookie.</div>
<div align="center">
SMH.</div>
<div align="center">
I'm guessing the garage mice are feeling pretty good</div>
<div align="center">
right about now. Talk about Mighty Mouse!</div>
<div align="center">
Thankfully - I haven't seen any out there.</div>
<div align="center">
Guess where I'm going to plug these boogers next?</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
And finally - over the lull in posting..</div>
<div align="center">
I have de-cluttered every room in our house</div>
<div align="center">
in the attempt to combat the mouse issue along the way.</div>
<div align="center">
We got rid of all kinds of things that have accumulated</div>
<div align="center">
since we moved into our house over ten years ago.</div>
<div align="center">
You never know how much stuff you have</div>
<div align="center">
until you have to do something with it. Yikes! </div>
<div align="center">
It wore me out!!</div>
<div align="center">

somehow drove itself to St. Louis and got a parking ticket while we</div>

It's been quite a while since I've blogged on here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did start a small Facebook version of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Suburban Life though </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in the meantime. It's been a while since I posted there too. Lol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of things happened in the interim.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Auntie Em got sick with Pancreatitis and we lost</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
her shortly after she came home from the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
vets office. She passed away one day</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Work - missing Emmy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The boys know it's quiet in the house but seem</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to be doing ok otherwise. They miss Em too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And finally - we've come full circle to the time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where I started my blogs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the post that started it all on Milo's blog</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">It all started at 7am yesterday morning. My momma was blissfully sleeping with me at the foot of the bed, keeping watch over her. She was totally unaware of the chaos that was about to ensue.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">Chirp! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! My sister, Auntie Em, or Emmy as we fondly call her, and I immediately sprung into action! My momma's in danger! Stop! Who goes there?! Halt! Chirp! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! Emmy waivered and decided to hide under the bed. I, however, am on the job! I jumped off the bed and raced to the front door. No one gets past me! You should see vat I do to bears and beavers! Grrr.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">No one was there. I patrolled the hall. Nothing there either. Chirp! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! "Calm down, Milo, it's just the battery in the smoke detector downstairs." Oh. Chirp! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! I'm not so sure. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">She went to get a new battery and returned. She put it in. Silence. Chirp! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! "What the..." she asked. Don't worry, momma, I've got it covered! She called the people at her work. After looking for a hush button and not finding one, she took the smoke detector down. I watched, fascinated, barking occasionally at each chirp. Chirp! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! She unhooked the alarm system. Chirp! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! She started upstairs and I followed, bound and determined to save her from impending doom. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">She tried pulling the attic door, screamed (I was there! in a flash!) and let it slam shut. A huge spider fell out and ran across the floor. I like spiders, but that one was HUGE! I don't know how he fit through that door! Well, alright, it wasn't THAT big, but he was huge! She killed him with a shoe, saying, "ughhgh" all the time. He's not dead yet!! His leg is detached and twitching! Ack! Kill it! Kill it! Chirp! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">By this time, we know there has to be another smoke detector somewhere, but daddy's still sleeping. How can he sleep through all of this? There is something dangerous in the house! Is it a bear? I can handle bears. Is it a beaver? I've got them covered too. Squirrel? I'm on it! Chirp! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black;">Daddy finally gets up and comes upstairs. After a few minutes, momma has a flashlight in hand, and finally discovers that it is only an old, dying carbon monoxide detector that keeps chirping. Chirp! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! Wheee! e e e e.... It squealed when she took it out of the wall and then finally. Silence. Chirp? Nope. Silence. Blissful, beautiful silence. Ahh.. Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! Squirrel!</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><span style="color: black;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Carbon Monoxide detector has been chirping non-stop at us </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the last few days. It's been seven whole years since we</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bought one. And it's been seven whole years since I started my poor, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
neglected, sparse blog. Lol. I promise to get back to it soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But! That's what I keep saying about swimming too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of swimming! I think I'm about to go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thankfully even though there is snow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the ground outside (ick! I hate snow)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still have 24/7 access to an indoor pool at one of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our local hospitals. It's been a couple months</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
since I went the last time soooo,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would say it's about time that I get back in there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
: )..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ciao!</div>

It's been a crazy, hectic four months.</div>
<div align="center">
We are losing two more of our group homes at work</div>
<div align="center">
and I've been temporarily reassigned to one of them because </div>
<div align="center">
all of their day shift staff quit. It's coming to a close</div>
<div align="center">
on July 1st though so I will finally be back at my</div>
<div align="center">
old group home and closer to where I live.</div>
<div align="center">
Can't wait, although it's only 7 miles right now to work,</div>
<div align="center">
it will be 2.5 miles soon. It's also in a better area</div>
<div align="center">
so that will be nice.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I also got back to swimming again.</div>
<div align="center">
Dropped out of the North Kansas City Hospital's</div>
<div align="center">
Health and Fitness Center / Pool program from November</div>
<div align="center">
last year until this month. I love swimming but with</div>
<div align="center">
everything going on, it's been too hectic to even</div>
<div align="center">
try to get back over there. That's an additional</div>
<div align="center">
10 miles one way to the pool.</div>
<div align="center">
It's definitely worth it though!</div>
<div align="center">
$24 a month, we get 24/7 access to the </div>
<div align="center">
fitness center and the pool.</div>
<div align="center">
Can't beat that!!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I can't even begin to describe how much I love </div>
<div align="center">
getting to swim again. I swear that I am</div>
<div align="center">
definitely a mermaid at heart.</div>
<div align="center">
Not only do I love them,</div>
<div align="center">
I drink like a fish at times. Mostly water.</div>
<div align="center">
Sometimes wine. Lol.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
What mermaid / swimmer wouldn't love to be</div>
<div align="center">
able to listen to their music while floating</div>
<div align="center">
peacefully in the pool?</div>
<div align="center">
I sure love it.</div>
<div align="center">
I get people asking me about my little</div>
<div align="center">
MP3 player allllll the time.</div>
<div align="center">
It's truly a God Send!</div>
<div align="center">
I looked around on Amazon and finally found</div>
<div align="center">
one that had better reviews than most of the </div>
<div align="center">
other waterproof items.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
It's from Underwater Audio and let me tell you!</div>
<div align="center">
Not only is their product fantastic and super easy to use,</div>
<div align="center">
but their customer service is phenomenal.</div>
<div align="center">
I had dropped my player a couple times,</div>
<div align="center">
which I'm sure isn't very good for them,</div>
<div align="center">
and I had left it on a charger too long a couple times too.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
My first shuffle stopped charging and went to a permanent</div>
<div align="center">
red light, which the customer service rep verified was the light of death on them.</div>
<div align="center">
They sent me all of the instructions to return my defective</div>
<div align="center">
player and once I had a tracking number, they immediately sent</div>
<div align="center">
out my replacement shuffle. How great is that?</div>
<div align="center">
It comes in some super great colors and it's super duper</div>
<div align="center">
cute! It comes with a sticky goo to help the earbuds that</div>
<div align="center">
come with it stay in your ears, but I ended up buying</div>
<div align="center">
another set of waterproof headphones that not only stick up into</div>
<div align="center">
the ear canal, but they have a wire that flips over and then</div>
<div align="center">
behind your ear. They come in several different colors too!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
The IPod Shuffle is easy to charge, usually takes less than an hour,</div>
<div align="center">
depending on how low you let it run. It's also super, duper easy</div>
<div align="center">
to load with music. Just open ITunes and click on the IPod Shuffle</div>
<div align="center">
on the screen and then click Music, Sync and voila! It loads it</div>
<div align="center">
quickly and away you can go. You can use it in or out of the</div>
<div align="center">
water. I do both at times. It has a great clip on the back</div>
<div align="center">
that really holds onto whatever clothes you clip it to.</div>
<div align="center">
It's small and sometimes I tend to drop things (I've never had</div>
<div align="center">
much strength / grip with my hands), but if it's got the headphones</div>
<div align="center">
plugged in, I can catch it before it falls.</div>
<div align="center">
It's got a shuffle or non shuffle feature so you can choose</div>
<div align="center">
how to listen to your playlist. It also stores quite a bit</div>
<div align="center">
of music and although I have gotten the "Low Battery"</div>
<div align="center">
voice warning a couple times (mostly because I didn't let it charge</div>
<div align="center">
all the way), I haven't ever had either shuffle run out of</div>
<div align="center">
power and shut off. I usually swim for an hour and usually</div>
<div align="center">
charge it each time before I go. I don't always go every single</div>
<div align="center">
day, sometimes there are a day or two in between trips to</div>
<div align="center">
the pool.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
If you love swimming, especially if you love doing laps, </div>
<div align="center">
let me tell you! This is the waterproof MP3 player</div>
<div align="center">
that you need. You will be the</div>
<div align="center">
envy of the other swimmers as you glide by, drowning out any and all</div>
<div align="center">
noise and jamming on your own great music choices!</div>
<div align="center">
It's well worth the money! Best money I've spent in a long time!</div>
<div align="center">
I love it, love it, love it!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>

My easy peasy chili recipe is now:</div>

Browned hamburger with onion,</div>

salt and pepper to taste</div>

Brown Sugar stirred in.</div>

Dang informercials!</div>
<div align="center">
Anyone who knows me in the slightest,</div>
<div align="center">
knows that I can't pass up on </div>
<div align="center">
an informercial product.</div>
<div align="center">
I really do need Informercial Anonymous</div>
<div align="center">
because I'm addicted to the products..</div>
<div align="center">
I have a Schticky!</div>
<div align="center">
I have some Perfect Portions bowls..</div>
<div align="center">
I have.. Well.. I have several</div>
<div align="center">
products from the,</div>
<div align="center">
"As seen on TV" era.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Some of these products work, eh.. Ok..</div>
<div align="center">
Some of these products work great!</div>
<div align="center">
Now? Now I found one that I</div>
<div align="center">
will keep for quite some time to come.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
One of my co-workers mentioned</div>
<div align="center">
that she had an Air Fryer that made some</div>
<div align="center">
really great things. Chicken Wings!</div>
<div align="center">
I loooove chicken wings!</div>
<div align="center">
Crispy French Fries!</div>
<div align="center">
I loooove crispy French fries!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
One day..</div>
<div align="center">
While relaxing in front of the tv..</div>
<div align="center">
I happened to run onto the</div>
<div align="center">
Power XL Air Fryer</div>
<div align="center">
infomercial.</div>
<div align="center">
That's all it took.</div>
<div align="center">
It makes Bloomin' Onions!</div>
<div align="center">
I loooove Bloomin Onions!</div>
<div align="center">
And it cuts them from 1950 calories</div>
<div align="center">
down to 380. Can't beat that.</div>
<div align="center">
It makes empanadas!</div>
<div align="center">
Oooooh.. I could eat empanadas</div>
<div align="center">
for days!!</div>
<div align="center">
It makes Stomboli.</div>
<div align="center">
I could definitely try some of that!</div>
<div align="center">
It makes Mozzarella Sticks!</div>
<div align="center">
I loooove those!</div>
<div align="center">
Ooooh the possibilities are</div>
<div align="center">
endless for what you can make</div>
<div align="center">
in one of these little air fryer doo dads..</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
Yeah. My hubs will undoubtedly</div>
<div align="center">
roll his eyes and fuss about yet, </div>
<div align="center">
"another kitchen gadget".</div>
<div align="center">
The money that it will save us from</div>
<div align="center">
having to eat out at restaurants because</div>
<div align="center">
it's easier to do that than cook</div>
<div align="center">
paid for this alone.</div>
<div align="center">
The cost of gas, having to drive</div>
<div align="center">
any where in our town (which is pretty big),</div>
<div align="center">
fight traffic, fight crowds,</div>
<div align="center">
wait for food to be delivered,</div>
<div align="center">
and tipping like we've got a lot to spend</div>
<div align="center">
(I generally try to tip at least $5 each time)?</div>
<div align="center">
All taken care of in one neat</div>
<div align="center">
little package.</div>
<div align="center">
And cleaning up?</div>
<div align="center">
Pfft! Easy Peasy!</div>
<div align="center">
Any one that knows me in the slightest,</div>
<div align="center">
knows that I am allll for the Easy Peasy</div>
<div align="center">
stuff as well. It's got a non-stick</div>
<div align="center">
basket that has not only not stuck</div>
<div align="center">
to anything (including cheese),</div>
<div align="center">
but it's been a cinch to clean!</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I cooked Toasted Ravioli because,</div>
<div align="center">
well, I looooove Toasted Ravioli..</div>
<div align="center">
I cooked bacon for BLT's last night to go</div>
<div align="center">
with some delicious locally grown tomatoes..</div>
<div align="center">
And I cooked some Sweet Potato</div>
<div align="center">
Tator Tots because, well..</div>
<div align="center">
Everyone that knows me in the slightest,</div>
<div align="center">
knows just how much I </div>
<div align="center">
loooooooooooooooove Sweet Potatoes.</div>
<div align="center">
I also made some Crab Rangoon,</div>
<div align="center">
guess what? Another fave!</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">

<div align="center">
I grew up in a swimming pool.</div>
<div align="center">
I'm surprised that I'm not still pruny from it.</div>
<div align="center">
I miss my swimming pools.</div>
<div align="center">
It's been way, way, way too long since</div>
<div align="center">
I've gotten to have one of my own.</div>
<div align="center">
This seems like the perfect solution though!</div>
<div align="center">
I've got 3 Cairn Terriers that love to dig,</div>
<div align="center">
so a regular, soft sided pool</div>
<div align="center">
wouldn't be such a great idea.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
My other solution is to build a concrete base,</div>
<div align="center">
and build a little wooden fence with a</div>
<div align="center">
gate around it.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I'm up for either choice.</div>
<div align="center">
Just as long as I get a pool.</div>
<div align="center">
I'll be good.</div>
<div align="center">
I'm pretty sure I was a mermaid</div>
<div align="center">
in my previous life.</div>
