Update on The Hubbs plus Sunday Ramblings

| By | Filed Under: family, health, husband | Leave a Comment

Well, my husband had a doctor appointment with his PCP on Thursday. She kept him on the restrictions from his ER visit…no driving, no work…until his cardiologist releases him. His PCP is worried about the hot flashes, dizziness, and racing heart. My husband is worried too, and actually so am I. His cardiologist appt is on the 29th. So, no work until then for him. Ugh…which means no money either. Good thing the disability payments *should* start this month and we didn’t strike at work!!!! (insert happy dance here!!)

My sister’s wedding is in 12 days! I cannot believe how quickly it snuck up on us!! Last night we had another wedding sweat shop. We did the favors and designed the programs. I still have to print all of the programs here and then we’re going to get together again to fold and tie bubbles to the programs. I think that’s all we have left to do.

Then of course, we have to get there. I’m not sure what the hubbs and I are going to do if he cannot drive. I can drive if needed, I guess, but I didn’t want to. We’ll have to wait and see what the doctor says.

I have totally been in a scrapping slump. I got a TON of cute freebie kits and even some that I bought, but I just can’t seem to get inspired to scrap anything. I started a page of my nephew’s birthday, but I don’t really like how it’s coming along and will probably start over. I need to look at other people’s pages and sites for some inspiration or something. I have a zillion pictures, I don’t know what the problem is!

Addicted to Sims 2 / Cat Bible

| By | Filed Under: review | Leave a Comment

My name is Heidi and I am addicted to the Sims 2.

I swear, I need a 12 step program for this game. I got the newest expansion pack, Apartment Life, which is AWESOME btw, and when I start playing it’s like I’m stuck in a time warp or something. I can sit here for hours and it feels like minutes. It totally sucks me in!

I love this game. My computer slows up pretty bad when I play, but it’s so much fun!!! If you haven’t tried it, you really should. Be careful though, it’s addicting. Consider yourself warned LOL

 
When I was listening to podcasts at work alot, I listened to one called “Dog Talk the radio show” with Tracie Hotchner. I really enjoyed it and still listen on and off. Tracie wrote two books, The Cat Bible and The Dog Bible and I had looked and looked in book stores for them for months. I finally found the Cat Bible at Borders! I was so excited.
The book is AWESOME!! I am going to get my sister one for Christmas or something. And I definitely want to get The Dog Bible as soon as we can. 
The really cool thing is that if you email Tracie, she will send you a personalized bookplate and a package full of other goodies! How cool is that?? Information is on her site. 
I would definitely recommend this book to any cat lover. It’s really informative and practical.

Problems With 4Shared, Dead Squirrel, Monday Madness Ramblings

| By | Filed Under: life | Leave a Comment

LOL What a title!! I found out that the searches hit on the title more so I have been trying to squeeze more in there. LOL

First, 4Shared issues. Is anyone else having them? I can’t seem to download some things, and others I need to try a few times. It’s almost like the zip files are empty because when I download they’re like zipping (haha pun not really intended) through them and then there’s nothing to extract. I dumped my cookies thinking maybe that would help but it didn’t. And so I finally downloaded an add on “Down them all” for firefox, which helps…at least when they are getting “caught up” I can pause and restart them…so for the first time in a few days I was able to download my scrappy things! woo hoo!

 
RIP Little Squirrel
Now on to the squirrel part. I was getting ready for work this morning when my husband went to let the dogs in and he yelled at me to come and see something. Onyx came bounding down the hallway and my heart sank…Topaz! I asked what was wrong, did he have a seizure…he said, no worse. OMG what is worse than that?? I said what and he said he couldn’t explain and I needed to come see. He was on the phone at the time so he couldn’t really say. 
I go and look out the back door and there’s a small black animal on the driveway. I was like…is that a rat? (We have a rat problem in our city) The hubbs said he didn’t know. 
I looked and no, it wasn’t a rat…it was a squirrel!! My husband had just said before letting the dogs in that he saw them chasing a squirrel around the garage too. 
Anyway, so my husband went into the garage to get a shovel to pick up the squirrel and I went to check his cell phone and when I came back, Topaz was walking through the yard with the squirrel in his mouth!!! GROSS!!
So I get him to drop it and the hubbs goes to pick it up…ew, it’s limp…so it’s pretty fresh. Gross. 
So it seems one of our dogs has made its first kill. Nice way to start the Monday.

Paranormal State is on and it has been freaking me out lately. I get to where I can feel the fear in my body…it sucks and I cannot tell my husband, he gets off on that kind of thing. He thinks it’s SOOO funny that I get scared. The jerk! lol…so then he tries to scare me for the rest of the night. Ugh. I hate that.
