I'm looking at maybe, maybe, maybe getting a new laptop for me sometime this year.  Any recommendations?  I don't want it to be too fancy, but I'd like something pretty good and less than $500, (the less the better).  I do want at least a 15" screen, and a CD/DVD drive, as well as at least a dual core with 4GB RAM.   I'm open to recommendations!

If you're not on the wedding filter and want to be let me know

Looking for a wagon figured posting here maybe somehow someone would know where I could pick one up, something like www.ridingtoys.com/tricycles-and-wagons/wood/radioflyertowncountrywagon.cfm   but not quite so expensive?  Basically that look with the slatted sides like an old cargo wagon doesn't matter what color it is exactly either. 

This is how I know I've had a long week and am kind of pms-y.  Today I bought white chocolate lindor truffles, potato straws, and sweatpants.

Do you have insurance through your job? If so, mind sharing with me what your plan is like?  I'm just curious as I'm really not happy with what I'm getting and I am just curious how it compares to what's out there.

There will be a wedding planning filter, if you want on it please let me know.  If I add you and you want off let me know as well.  Squeeeee!

For those who don't know this weekend Aaron proposed in the most romantic awesome way and the ring is gorgeous I'd post more now but I need to change clothes and relax a bit as we just got back from Disney!

For those who don't know, I sell Avon now.  It's actually really easy and fun and I'm finally starting to make a profit.  I'd love to have more orders and more customers.  I even have a website you can order from (and codes for free shipping as well) and you can have it delivered by me if you're in the cocoa/orlando area or have it shipped to you (using the free shipping code I mentioned).  If you want samples let me know :) I'll be happy to get them to you!

I hate that I have a job that barely pays my bills.  I hate that I am working my ass off for a company that pays me just enough to keep me on the edge of getting anywhere.  I hate that I had to get a bonus on my current paycheck just to afford the rent and bills for this month.  There was a time when my company was something more than just a company.  I have worked at home office and I know that the attitude and values are still there hidden somewhere in the company.  However. I don't see it in my day to day job.  I have been asking for more hours and full time for awhile now.  I have made sure my preferences stated such as well (we have this system where you go in and tell it what jobs in the company you'd be interested in).  I have cross trained in several different departments.  A regular day for me could see me in electronics, cell phones, fabrics, and photo.  On a busy day throw in sporting goods and toys (on a slow day sometimes too like yesterday).  However, apparently they are opening up a position in my department and putting someone in it rather than make me full time, and this is their attitude towards everything lately.  On top of that we have a position open in photo and they interviewed two people for it yesterday.  One girl came in in a tank top, shorts and flip flops. . . and they hired her apparently.  I really am trying to find something new but it's not easy right now and I'd have to find something better before I could leave now that I have health insurance and such.  I am still grateful to be employed, but it bothers me to be employed by a store that projects one image of itself and doesn't follow through.  

In other news, I'm in Citrus County visiting my family today, going to see my mom who I haven't seen since Christmas.  Also, hoping to see my brother and his family, and I'm picking up Tommy to spend the day with me.  So this is good news.  I also made a beautiful vase of gerber daisies that are orange, pink and purple (silk flowers) to take to my daughter's grave.  Going to hit Wal-mart today (yeah sad I know) to pick up some stuff my mom needs, least I can do for her.  My mom is currently staying in a local shelter/program for homeless women.  It's a really awesome program though, they are getting her help for her alcoholism.  My mom has never even admitted she had a problem until this year but she's been sober for several months now.  They have a house that her and a few other women live in so it's not like a open living situation they actually have beds, dressers, rooms, a kitchen and a yard and such.  They work at the thrift store and farm owned by the shelter organization and they help them get on their feet and with job skills and resumes and job hunting.  The best part about the place is that she can stay as long as she's working her program and they determine she needs to and they will help her find permanent housing.  I think this is really good for my mom.  I can't wait to see her.
