A vacation before my vacation....

Free Counter

As you probably figured out by now, I do not work. So, this afternoon, after picking up prescriptions and running some errands, we loaded up the van and came down to my Aunt's. Yep, the same Aunt to whom I RUN when things get really touch. We have been down here probably at least 5 to 10 times. It is peaceful here, and yet when her grandkids they kind of go nuts, completely our fault from tickled at them which only encourages them. It is a fun place and I love playing with Peyton and Jackson.

Of course I brought my computer with me, how else will I catch up on my Redskin news or be notified when tickets become available for the Dallas Redskin game probably to be in December sometime. I would give my eye teeth to be at that game, and know straight from the Redskins, that the only seats avail. will be the ones the Cowgirls turn back in, and those come in Wednesday before the game and they go fast. I don't care how much, how cold, how late notice, I want to be at that game this year. I have always wanted to go to THAT game (due to the old rivalry. Ah.....if that works out, I will be a happy woman.

I have gotten addicted to something I think will require a 12 step program in April. My cousin's children (the ones mentioned above) got me interested in those WebKinz things. They are stuffed animals that come with a code that lets you log onto the Internet and it is like a little world. You are given one room, a few things, and some money to buy the rest. And you can go all out with this. You can buy extra rooms to add onto your "house", you can buy (not real money "Kinzcash" that you earn by playing games, doing chores, taking care of your pet, etc. The games are geared so that kids are learning as well. They have questions of all subjects and there are also some games that are just plain fun.

I originally got this to spend more time with my cousins, and be able to keep in touch with something fun. I would go into their rooms while they were sleeping and help them rack up points, etc.

Then I got addicted. The kids now do not need my help and have come over and helped me some. Sometimes I go over and take their pets out of bed, so in the morning, they will be confused.

It only cost me $11 and it has been worth it. The kids called a while back and asked if I would take care of their pets while they are on vacation in July. They were very worried about this. I am curious as to what happens in April. On my "birth cert." for Sophie (little black bear) it says the dates are over next April. What are they going to do, just off her???

So, whenever you see one of these in the store, know that someone you know or at least read about, actually owns one and I am 37 years old. Pitiful. Gotta go, gotta see if Sophie is fed and doing alright. I was on there an hour ago, but they said she was sick, and I had to take her to the vet. She had strep throat. I know, my family just laughs at me......
