2010-08-25T00:43:00.003-06:00

I do not own

2010-08-24T23:19:00.002-06:00

I do not own NaturallyScented.com anymore, since I am not selling candles I didn't pay for the year renewal fee.. I am not sure if I will get back into the candle business, but I do like the For Every Home Products.. That company has a lot of candles and other things.. If I knew I was going to be selling lots of FEH candles then I would sign up.. But since the other "things I have done at home" didn't pan out.. I rather keep my money every month..

I have major medical bills to pay off now, since my operation in April.. I am still having trouble with my insurance, they only paid $4,000 on my $33,000 bill and they were supposed to do a repricing on it and pay for major part of it.. I am getting tired of wasting money every month on that, I could be paying on some other bill..

ok enough of my little problems, please have a great week!!! (smile)

Back to school Nicky

2010-08-24T23:07:00.003-06:00

wow, that summer went by fast.. I am not sure if I enjoyed it or not..LOL

Nicky started back to school on August 23 and he is a little excited about it.. He starts seventh grade.. I hope he does well.. I am thinking about pulling him out and trying one of those online public school that he can do at home.. He doesn't have much patience with the teachers..

Well, I have been working nights now, Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday Nights. And I cover the 2:30pm to 4:30pm shift on Tuesday and whenever they want me there..

Sorry but i haven't been feeling like blogging, I guess the "newness" faded away..

Oh Thank you Christine and the other person who commented on my other entry.. Thank you for participated.. (hugs)..

School is out !

2010-05-31T02:06:00.002-06:00

Last Thursday was Nicky's last day of school.. I worked the night before so I got to sleep for a couple of hours before taking him the the dentist. Then we went to Boise for my nephew Ryan's 8th Grade Graduation. It was a church Graduation..

I got to see my sister in law's family.. I don't see them very often, maybe once a year. It was nice to see them. Of course I got to see my brother Rod and my father..

I had a eye infection type thing on Thursday, so when I talked to someone they mentioned what was wrong with my eye.. I told everyone that Mark hit me.. LOL.. But it is much better now..

I am currently working nights now.. well, sometimes, I asked to have three nights at my client's house..but my work hasn't give me that yet.. I am going to work at 5:30am to 9am and back at 2pm to 4pm since it is a Holiday.. I will be working on Wednesday nights also. Going to three days starting next week.. Yeah...

Nicky will be starting summer school on the 3rd of June. He will be going for 3 and half hours.. He was fighting on that one..

Happy Memorial Day to everyone. Hope everyone has a safe one.. Enjoy being with your families..

More to come.. I promise.. I am thinking about starting writing again.. I want to post a online wish/goal board on here to share with everyone.. if you don't mind.

I am going back to work....

2010-05-17T16:54:00.002-06:00

It's May 17th

I called into work last friday, they told me to call back on Monday.. So I did, after getting text messages from my client...to do so.. LOL. I called and I will be working the graveyard shift on Wednesday night. Which is ok, since my sleeping pattern is going to sleep at 4 or 5 in the morning and sleeping till noon..

School is almost over with her.. Last day is May 27th..

Toby Keith and Guest Trace Adkins is coming to Boise on July 22.. Tickets are expensive!! Floor Tickets are $65.... $45 to the semi good seats and they are running a special... 2 for $40 for the nose bleeds.. I would LOVE to go to this show!!

I went to Sugarland when they were here in Nampa, Idaho.. Great Concert!! I got a autographed picture with another American Idol.. Mr. Dokey..

I also went to Daughtry with my BFF.. (he was on American Idol)

Nothing much going on now...

Hello !!!

2010-05-10T15:51:00.002-06:00

It's May 10th...

Yesterday was Mother's Day... I received a gift from Neil my oldest son and his lovely wife.. They gave me a white gold, two hearts and 7 tiny little diamonds Ring. I absolutely LOVE IT!!

We went over to Neil and Angelia's house for dinner on Saturday night..

we went over to Teresa's house for a family BBQ on Sunday...

What a wonderful weekend... it goes by so fast...

I got back to work next week.....

Hello there again.

2010-04-20T18:19:00.001-06:00

as it thundering and lightning outside, the background noise in the house is glenn beck on tv.. i sit here wondering where the time went to.. i mean before my operation time sure went by so slow... and now it's two weeks after the operation.. and it went by so fast.

the kidney stone removal operation went well..

more to come.

it's almost nicky's b-day and RAW!!!

2010-03-09T18:38:00.002-07:00

IT's almost Nicky's Birthday March 10th 12 years ago.. I was pregnant.. I can not believe where the time went too..

tomorrow i go into the doctor's office and we are going to discuss what operation to have.. finally, I hope to schedule this thing and get it over with... it kind of feels like a dream... make this a reality!!!

work isn't too happy that i am leaving, but oh well.. they better get someone to cover for me...pretty soon..

OH Nicky and I went to the WWE RAW on Sunday... I got to see.... Jack Swagger, Mark Henry, Chavo Guerrero, Big Show, Kofi Kingston, Yoshi Tatsu, Chris Masters, Carlito, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Sheemus, Randy Orton, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Hornsworggle, Batista and of course John Cena..

They were selling autographed John Cena Pictures and I got one. Nicky bought the John Cena fingers and DX glow sticks..

After wards we waited.. we got to see Shawn Michaels, Mark Henry and Batista drive away in their cars..

I was a little disappointed though, the place was too small.. It wasn't like the way they have it on tv... but it was good to see them in person... And we had good seats..

the countdown begins.

2010-03-03T21:41:00.002-07:00

well, not sure about that, but I am hoping for my operation in a couple of weeks..

I have tried to get some pre-existing health insurance but i am not sure what I got.
this health insurance said it didn't cover the operation.. i am looking into this!!

i went in for my review at work today.... good marks... reliable, etc etc bullshit.. and they only gave me a quarter raise..

i will be home after the operation then i have more time to concentrate on this blog..

this weekend is nicky's birthday party, we are eating pizza at primo's....

and nicky and i are going to go to WWE RAW this Sunday.. I am getting off early to go to Boise to see the Superstars..

next week is going to be busy also, have to take nicky to the eye doctor on tuesday....his birthday is wednesday and he wants to go to wazooo fun center..then thursday i have to take him to for his 12 year check up with his doctor..

i hoping the doctor will get this operation going.. it's not the doctor, it's this damn insurance that is holding it up... i can not figure out what they are going to pay for.. i did upgrade to the best plan in this specific...i am not sure what the hell is going on.. LOL..

talk to you later... i will blog when i have a date of operation...

Howdy Folks..

2010-02-16T19:47:00.002-07:00

i know it's been a while since i last blogged.. I have been busy with working seven days a week now.. I have thursday off to go to a Orientation for a state job in Oregon.. I am going to be helping my brother and getting paid for it..

I went to the ER and found out that i have kidney stones.. A quarter size stone on my right kidney that I will be going in next month to get it remove. Wish me luck.. and Prayers will be appreciated..

WWE continued.. and other things...

2010-02-06T20:25:00.004-07:00

I received my WWE Raw Tickets in the Mail.. Waiting for February to go by..

February is going to go by so I feel.. I have work and I have a Orientation appt on 2/18.. And my work schedule now is pushing close to 40 hours.. which I do not like one bit. I don't have time for ME anymore.

but i can say that the paychecks will be good every two weeks.. I signed up for AFLAX so I hope I can get something out of that..when i need it.

nothing much is going on.. I actually stayed home on a Saturday...I usually run over to Oregon to go shopping for my brother.. but I have been having a little bit of car trouble again...every two weeks it needs something..

I got the taxes done yesterday so in a couple of weeks we will be rich again...LOL..

It was a romantic full moon when Pedro said, "Hey, mamacita, let's do Weeweecha."

Oh no, not now, let's look at the moon!" said Rosita.

Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do WeeWeechu. I love you and it's the perfect time." Pedro begged.

"But I wanna just hold your hand and watch the moon." replied Rosita.

Please, corozoncito, just once, do Weeweechu with me."

Rosita looked at Pedro and said , "ok, one time, we'll do Weeweechu."

Pedro grabbed his guitar and they both sang.........

"Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, Weeweechu a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year."

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

Jason Downey, March 17, 1969 to October 26, 2009

One of the management at CK, I considered him a good friend.. He worked with me last year, when I was working there.. He would always be there at the client's house before me.. Helping me out with them..
He got promoted to Management this year..
When I called them to see if I could have my Job back, he remembered me..
He told them to hire me back.. I went in to do the paperwork (tax papers etc)..He was in the office.. I stopped by and said hello and we chatted about our "clients' that we worked together..
He called me to ask me to help out with a client... It was at 6:45am and wanted me to work at 8am.. I didn't crawl out of bed still 9am.. so i didn't work.. I still have his voice message on there..
I called the office to get help with this training that we had to do online.. He answered the phone.. He helped me out, but one thing I could hear in his voice that he wasn't feeling very good.
On Monday, October 26, I got a email from work saying that he had passed. I couldn't believe it..
my work had a memorial... we released balloons..
i will miss him dearly..

Hey..two weeks later..

2009-10-26T22:26:00.002-06:00

well, i got my tooth pulled on that day that i last blogged.. The next day was Mark's 40th birthday.. He was working and he pulled a pallet jack on top of his left big toe.. OUCH!!! Some how I had a feeling to call him.. so I called him then he told me the news. So i waited for Nicky to come home from school and went to see him. Everyone down there helped him out.. Mark finally locked up and headed to Primary Health at 4pm..

Mark got a x ray of his toe.. he broke the very tip of it. And he will be losing his big toe nail.. as of today, it's still on his toe. Now it's turning black on the tip of the nail.. He returned back to work last monday.. He isn't doing much at work..

Last Monday I was making coffee for a client of mine and spilled hot coffee on my right hand.. It was in pain for two hours.. Now it's a little bit red.. I think I might be losing some skin in a few days.
Last Friday Night Nicky and I went to pick up some hamburgers at a local Hamburger joint. I was carrying the drinks to the car.. I opened the door and gave the drinks to Nicky.. I got in and put my left hand on the top to adjust myself in the seat and the car door slammed on it.. Nothing broken.. just scared me and yes I did cry when it happened..

So hopefully this week I will not have any accidents.. Tomorrow I get to stay home and I have some to do things I would love to get done.. But if I know myself, I will on the computer most of the day.. I do have to do some training online.. that I need to get done by friday..

I got a email today from my work and it was sad news. One of the men that work in the office suddenly passed away today.. He was only 40 years old. I work with him last year.. He did called me last Wednesday for a early client but I was still in bed sleeping when he called..And I called the office and he answerered the phone to help me.. He is a very nice guy.. And might I add he was a nice looking.. He will be missed. Rest in Peace Jason!!

So that is about it.. sorry about not blogging.. just get caught up with other things.. I love reading blogs..

Have a great week and if I don't tell you.. Happy Halloween..

Bad Tooth Ache this week!!!

2009-10-08T22:11:00.002-06:00

well, I survived a major tooth ache this week.. It hurt so bad on tuesday that I couldn't stand it anymore.. I had to go to Nicky's school for a teacher thing..I went over there and left, ended up going to walmart to get some orajel for my tooth.. My jaw was swollen a little bit..
On Wednesday I got up early to go to the dentist, my tooth didn't hurt then, when everyone left it started to wake up..but the pain was mild.. It still made my jaw cheek swollen.. and it was bigger than the day before..
Today, I got up early, went down the the tooth clinic...at 7:30am. I was second to be called so I was happy... It got in at 8am.... talked to the nice looking doctor about my tooth.. he shot some numb stuff in my mouth... waited for twenty minutes, he pushed it with the chiesel, then took the plier type tool and out it came.. Easy as pie.. just like that. it was done.. oh relief!!! he gave me a prescription for antibotics.

Tomorrow is Mark's birthday, he is taking his vacation next week.. My new job is going slow... but its nice to get out of the house..

Monday....

2009-10-05T19:31:00.002-06:00

It's monday and I am posting... I am working now, little here little there.. not too many hours.. I had to stay home with Nicky last week since he got Wed, Thurs and Friday off ...due to Teacher's not going to work days... LOL..

Hopefully I can get some hours in this week.. I get bored staying at home.. It's nice one day after I have gone to work for nine hours, then other times it gets boring..

Next week, Mark will have another week vacation and there goes the tv... I might as well be working, I wont be watching much tv...

Nothing much is going on these days..

Doing the dance, it's called the Happy Dance.

2009-09-23T16:01:00.004-06:00

well, I am still around.. yep, haven't done much of anything, cleaning the house mostly, since we have a weatherization check on monday, which we didn't qualify because it was already checked back in 1996..

Nicky is doing well in school, he got transfered out of band into PE. I think it has to do with his friend bothering him in Band. I did address this concern to the Assistant Principal and on Monday he was transferred out..
They are offering him free tutoring classes in Math for him, he starts next week.

I used to work for Comfort Keepers last January thru May. I called the place yesterday, asking if I can go back to work, the HR lady, Brenda said that I can. She was going to reactivate me.. I go in on Friday to do the paperwork.. So I am happy that I will be going back to work.. Not sure what my schedule is going to be, but it will be nice to have my own money again and to pay the cell phone bill..

I will save money to join For Every Home in November.. And get caught up on some outstanding bills like the Dental Bill, Irrigation Bill and the Cell phone bill..

Doing some little projects like My Instant Biz, & PowerBarClub . Which are doing good..

I just found this and my downline is growing fast. You sign up, load the tool bar, view ads and get others to do the same and see the $$$ flow. It is free so give it a try and if you are on your computer all day like me you can just post a few ads and click on a few ads and watch it grow.

2009-09-14T18:06:00.002-06:00

Still waiting for my Pay Pal problem to be resolved.. I have check the USPS.com site and they have not updated where the package is.. I don't know where it is..
I hope it works itself out.

I checked out Criss Angel MINDFREAK last night. When he was doing the Coffins. That was amazing!!!

I also watched the one hour Dog the Bounty Hunter last night when Baby Lisa got married to her boyfriend. It made me cry a little bit, since my oldest son will be doing the same thing next May.

If anyone is interested in Peddler's Kitchen, it is September & I really need a sale.. So if you care to view this site and order something, big or small, it doesn't matter, I need a sale.. They do have good food.. I have tried the Oh My Onion Patties and they are very yummy!!! I might have to buy me more of those this month.. (website is on the left hand side). :)

Oh, I tweetered to SherriEShepard on Twitter.. I asked her if she met John Cena, since she is with MVP.. (Monday Night Raw) She sent me a message back saying she has not met Mr. Cena.. I was dancing around the house, I was excited to have a celebrity write me back.. LOL

Hello there again.

2009-09-06T13:18:00.003-06:00

Hi, just sitting here playing on Facebook. Catching up on blogs, I added Rachel's New Blog.

Last week, I sold my Mia Bella Inventory to a lady in NV. She sent me the money thru Pay Pal on the 2nd. I mailed everything off on the 3rd. Three boxes full of jar candles, votives, sample bags and other brochures that I had. She retracted the money saying she didn't get the items. Now My Pay Pal account is in the red. I don't understand why this lady is doing this. So Now I have to wait til next week to get my Pay Pal balance in the black.

Really I hope she is happy about what she did. She is not a follower on this blog but a follower on my business blog. she read that i sold it.. Yes it was dated back in August. (two weeks ago) i think that should tell you something, two weeks ago! Oh my Gosh, everything blew up.

Anyways, just thought I would blog about that. Have a great Weekend, Be safe!

Hi there!!

2009-09-03T23:31:00.003-06:00

well, that last post I thought I had a buyer for my Mia Bella Inventory last time but that lady backed out of it.. She had to think about how she would mail me a money order.. so she didn't buy it.

I have been trying to sell my candles for four weeks now. I had some bites but no one actually sent me money. I then posted this on my other blog saying that it was sold, but no..

Yes I finally sold it!! On Sept 2, She sent me the money and I did sent it to her.. Yes I did sent it to her at 4pm Idaho Time on the following day.

I can not wait to close this door. I had so much trouble with this.

It's Labor Day Weekend.....Yippee!!!!

Weekend... (again)

2009-08-28T21:24:00.002-06:00

Time goes by fast when you don't work.. LOL Nicky started school this week.. He is a 6th grader now.. He walks to school.. The school is right there.. I think he likes it.. He is going to be taking Band in school.

I am selling my inventory......... I found someone to buy it. Waiting on payment this weekend.

So I will be finding a job now, since Nicky is in school..

Howdy Folks.

2009-08-20T23:20:00.002-06:00

Yeah long time no blog.. huh?? well, I am doing good.. I guess.. Next Thursday is when Nicky goes back to school.. I still have to get his school supplies.. Mommy doesn't have a job, so she is selling things around the house to support my son's school supplies.. LOL!! I am selling ALL my Gourmet Candle Inventory to one person.. Third time a charm.. Long story, but I am happy to getting some extra money...

Hopefully My new project will be going in the next week.. Don't know yet.. Things happen...

I survived Mark's vacation last week.. Yes he is back to work this week.. Yippee!!! Nicky has been at the pool every other day swimming his little heart out.. The temperature here today is over 100 degrees.. So it will be nice to dip in the pool.. I stay in the cool house.. with the dogs..

Who is a True Blood watcher on HBO?? I love this show..

Also a Weeds, Nurse Jackie and Dexter Watcher on Showtime...

Well, will post later... Have a great weekend!!!!

Hey Hello and where did the summer go??

2009-08-06T23:16:00.002-06:00

Well, I am still around, sorry I haven't been blogging, I got a new computer and Yes I have bookmarked this site. I lost all my pictures, videos and business stuff. So I am actually starting over again.. Looks like it is time to start all over again in business as well.

But I spend way to much time on Facebook.. LOL.. did you know a hacker broke into Twitter and Facebook? I read that one the news website..

Well, I have decided to quit my gourmet candle business. I can not afford the COTM or even the website every month. I have been thinking about joining another candle company that does not require any quotas or monthly fees and this company has a variety of more jar sizes to choose from. And it's based out of Utah, which is closer to Idaho..

I will still keep my "naturallyscented" site, of course i bought a year from godaddy.com.. I won't be joining this company for another month or so..

I can not believe it's August already, the weather went to 100 degrees to 70 degrees in a few days.. But it supposed to go up next week.. I need to mow the yard, my weeds are growing fast, but the lawn is brown..

Nicky has school registration on Monday, Mark has the week vacation next week. he will be home for 10 days.. I am stuck with him for that time.. LOL..

I am trying to sell off my gourmet candles if anyone is interested.. I have Summer Love, Sweet Pea and Honey Bee Vanilla in 16 oz jars.. I also have a sample bag that is 2 years old that I am trying to sell also comes with extra small containers that I got from the company.. Send me a message to dwinters66@yahoo.com OBO.. Comes with door hangers, reprints and postcards. I also have lots of votives..

I am still with Peddler's Kitchen and Chat to Text. So if anyone is interested.. Just look up on the blog I have put a link to them, or you can view it at http://www.naturallyscented.com I have put everything on there..

I have also started another project I will let you know how that goes and what it is when it gets up and running.. Once I do, I will put banners on my site for it..

Well, that is all for now, will update this later..

Good News & Bad News!!

2009-07-26T22:13:00.002-06:00

Well, what would you like to hear? Good News or Bad News.. It's about the computer. Yesterday I had been having problems well, the last past month I have been having trouble with the computer, it didn't work today..

My husband stepped up and bought me another e-machine computer. He commented that "what a price I pay for you to get out of my hair". He thought it was a complaint but I took it as a comment. So I am back online again!!

I have lots of the pictures, videos, stuff for my candles, e-books etc. I still have to figure out how to hook up the printer, do i have to put the driver in the computer in order for it to work?

Just relaxing and enjoying my new toy.

It's amazing

2009-07-24T14:35:00.002-06:00

Hey there!!

2009-07-21T00:35:00.003-06:00

I know, i don't blog much anymore, just staying home with the kid and playing around on Facebook these days..

July 10th was my 43rd birthday and my husband took me out to dinner and a movie, we seen the new Transformer 2 movie. We seen it at Edwards which is the expensive theatre..

Last Friday, I went out with my Big Sister/My Best Friend Forever Tambra. She took me out to Applebee's for dinner. I had to go to a Church thing with Nicky that night, so Tambra and I had a late dinner around 9pm.. Then ended up going to her place to watch TV. Had a great time except Nickolas kept calling me every half hour wanting me to come home.. I ended up coming home around 1am.. I had fun..

Saturday Nickolas and I went to Ontario to see my Dad and Brother Roger.. We got to the Center late for their BBQ... Ate something, then went out to see my Dad's Girlfriend's place in Ontario, which she lives on the Snake River bank.. I got to see a hummingbird like three feet away from me.. It was awesome to see that.. We drove to Roger's house and he wasn't feeling very good.. IMO, he doesn't look good. but that is just me.. Dad commented that he did look good.. I can not believe how much my family talks behind each other's backs. I try to stay out of it.. That is why I don't visit them very often..

Sunday we just stayed home in the cool house.. We watched True Blood on HBO. I really like that show.. Oh Nickolas went swimming today from 3pm to 6pm..

Today, amazingly, Nickolas didn't asked to go swimming today.. Nicky went over to the neighbor's house to mow their back yard, I went to pick up my Sister in law's dog, Pepper, the poodle..then we watched a Movie at home.. We watched "BOLT" it was a cute movie.. Then I vacauumed the house and ran the dishwasher.. Mark came home..

Sad news today, found out the Taiban has captured a Idaho Soldier. I have posted something about it on Face book.. Please keep him in your prayers that he makes it home safely.

This Thursday the 23rd of July is our wedding anniversary.. We have been married for 10 years.. Time goes by fast these days..

And I forgot to mention that on July 13th which was Monday, My oldest son Neil is 22 years old.. Of course I didn't see him on his birthday... but I did call him and left him a message.. I don't talk or see him much anymore.. And I am getting use to that.. It's very hard for a mom to cut the apron strings.. I do miss him a lot!!

Haven't been feeling good at all this past week or this week.. I have a pain still that I don't know what it is.. and it's bugging me a lot.. I also need to go to the dentist to get this piece of tooth pulled out.. Oh speaking of a tooth, mark my husband, was having problems with a tooth, needless to say now, he isn't feeling pain now, it feel out on it's own.. with out the dentist....

Local news about the Ryan Stockdale operation... Click on the link.. Very Sad news to me.
The Stockdales was on the Extreme Home Edition two years ago.. They got their new house..
Now Ryan is suffering from Headache Clutters.. Very painful.. They are trying to get insurance to cover a operation that he needs.. more to the story is in KTVB.

The Canyon County Fair starts this weekend.. I doubt it if we are going.. Since I am not working and not making any money. I have to watch the money come in and go out. And Mark is wondering why he doesn't have any extra money to spend..

I will try to blog more these days.. Hope everyone is having a safe summer!!!

Am I still alive??

2009-07-07T01:31:00.002-06:00

Hi... I know, I know, it's been like a WEEK.. I really don't know what to blog about these days,
But I did find something interested I wanted to share with you, I know everyone sometimes watches, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition right, Remember two years ago, In July, the crew came to Idaho to give a family in Middleton, Idaho a new home, well, things are not going very well with them at all..
Here is a story about it. Very graphic I wanted to let you know. I feel so sorry for this family.. If you can please pray that they get the operation for Ryan.
HOME MAKEOVER family faces crisis

The weekend went by fast, I had a fun 4th of July.. We BBQ'ed and drank beer.. LOL.. I started drinking around 9pm and stopped by 1am, I had six beers..LOL.. The neighbor lady Paulie had fireworks and Nicky help her light them off. We couldn't afford to by Fireworks this year.

I have a Birthday this week.. Not really looking forward to it, I wish I had a job, so I can do something for myself.. Not sure what Mark has plans, but I am not expecting anything..

I am doing some thinking on my home businesses, so if the sites down work, you know that I have dropped them.. I have downgraded my candle distributor to a free associate. Right now money is tight and people are not buying..

Stay safe this month.. Lots of drowing here in Idaho as well.. The weather is great, it got up to 99 degrees yesterday, (Sunday), this week is supposed to cool off. Nicky has been going to the swimming pool a couple of times a week..

Good night all!!

Heeyyyyyyyyyyy

2009-06-25T03:20:00.002-06:00

Hello..
What's Up?

Just a same old boring week..LOL.. Things are going ok.. money is tight, things are changing..
Nicky is keeping me busy... He went swimming on Tuesday and got a sun burn on his back..
He has been asking to go swimming again this week, I told him that he has to take care of that sunburn before swimming again, I did end up paying $6 for some sun screen.. wow, that stuff is expensive...
The weather over here is Nice.. it got up in the 90's today...whew!! I don't blame nicky about the swimming.. It has been raining lately, I am enjoying the heat. LOVE IT!!

Mark's grandmother from Seattle is coming in this week. She was supposed to come in tonight, but she got stuck in Baker City, Oregon. (car trouble).. Mark's parents are on vacation in Nevada with this Harley's.. They should be back late tomorrow..

I stayed home on Father's Day, relaxing with the family! I gave my husband a NEW 100 oz Maverick Mug.. When I got home with it, full of Diet Dew, he informs me that he bought another one, it's in his car. So now technicially he has four of them, one isn't working, but three are.. I haven't seen a gift like that from him in a while.. He is so spoiled and doesn't even know it.

So not really looking for a job yet, still have to watch my little big son.. who is a pain in the arse sometimes.. We have been fighting all the time.. We got a long good today, we didn't fight, but the other day, we had a big blowup.. oh well, he will grow out of it... LOL..

I need to get my butt down to the DMV before July 10, but i am tryng to come up with $24.50.
Yep it's been 8 years already....time goes by fast.

well, off to bed now!

It's Thursday!! LOL

2009-06-18T16:56:00.002-06:00

Hi, Did you miss me?? I hope so...

This week went by fast, On Monday, I woke up to Nicky talking on the phone with his friend down the street, asking me if I can take him to the YMCA here in town, no big deal, we have a family pass that he got from school.. Before that, I remember the day before, Sunday, that my car registration was expired, I was driving my car with expired tags.. So before we went to the Y, I stopped at the DMV and picked up my tags, then I remember that I needed to go to the Car Insurance place to pick up the proof of Insurance papers.. The Car Insurance papers expired on the 13th of June, which was Saturday, I forgot when I paid it on Friday.. LOL. Then we headed off to the Y..
We got to the Y and got dressed into our cute swimming suits, walked out to the pool, hop in... floated around the "river" a couple of times, then I heard a loud whistle.. Everyone had to get out of the pool due to cleaning..(someone did a do do in it and they had to clean it up.).. We got out... waited, waited and waited again, then they announced that they are shutting down the pool for the whole day.. OH I was pissed!!
Yes Christine, it's been raining and lightning/thunderstorms here everyday.. We walked out of the Y, and it poured. I got to the stop sign and it stopped raining. Funny how it rains at one location and then when you drive it isn't raining.. And the Sun is shining..
So the next day, which was Tuesday... I called the Y to complain about Monday, I talked to a lady named Shelly and she said to come back in and swim.. So we got our cute swimming suits on again and heading over there. This time, I had a blast.. I went straight to the "river".. They had a corkscrew type slide there. I got the nerve up and went for it. I made it down the first time.... Then I went down twice more. So that was my accomplishment that day, I knew I wouldn't get the chance to do it again.. It was fun except the corkscrew at the bottom went really fast.. We went swimming for four whole hours.. I even got invited to do a workout class.. I was tired when I crawled out of the pool..
Then we got invited to go to the $1 movies with Angelia and Shelby. (her five year old sister). We were late getting there of course.. (what's new???).. It was a good show, but the admission to that show was $3 each because it was 3D.. We got some really cool 3D glasses to take home..

Wednesday, I had to take my friend to the doctor's again, (extra money I am earning). I ended up earning $20 and a full tank of gas and snacks.. Yipppeeee!! Today, I took her to the Lab to get blood work done this morning, I earned another $20.. After we dropped her off, we went to Burger King and had some Whopper Jr's and Cheesy Tots. Came home to harvest my Facebook FarmTown Crops.. I have been a little bit lazy today, but I did vacuum the living room today.. Oh I dropped off a scent sample at the BK bathroom when I got there, I checked it again, it wasn't were I left it at, I look in the garbage and there it was.. How Rude of people!!!!

Hopefully I will get paid tomorrow for that two day job I did a month ago.. It won't be very much. Looking back on it, I wouldn't have any money for GAS for those four weeks.. So this turned out ok.. He lost a good person to help him out.

So time to go back to Facebook and harvest my grapes.. Have a great weekend and Happy Father's Day!!!

hugs..

2009-06-08T18:49:00.003-06:00

Hi there!! I am still alive. I made it through the weekend, I was very lazy.

Today is Monday, I cleaned out my car, Nicky shopvac the liquid that was in the car, then we washed it. So the car got a bath today.. Then I cleaned my bathroom. ewwww.. I live with two boys...

I am using on Facebook now, doing things on there.

I got my June's Candle of the Month and it smells wonderful.. My son Nicky went over to the neighbor's house and sold a votive. I need to make some Summer Love scent samples and send them to a friend that i met online thru Messenger..

So just being lazy again. Getting hungry and my husband isn't home yet..

Have a Great Monday!!

What do I do?

2009-06-03T19:47:00.002-06:00

My Yahoo Messenger isn't working now, Do you think I should download the newer version??

I am a little hestitate on downloading the newer version, since I had problems with the IE 8.. So if Christine is reading this? let me know what you think? Should I download or not?

It's Wednesday, this week has gone by fast, since I am not working it goes by super fast.. Next month, it will be my birthday.

So not much going on this week.. So I will try to remember to blog again this week..

HEY HELLO THERE!!

2009-06-01T21:54:00.003-06:00

Well, Last week was adventureous. LOL!!!

I got a hair cut on Monday, had to wait for a hour at Great Clips, I had a coupon and I guess everyone else waited like I did and had a coupon.. 05-26-09 was the expiration date.

Wednesday I started my "new" job. I started a nine o'clock in the morning, that day went well, it lasted till seven pm that night. So my boss said I worked 10 hours that day, it was easy, just drove him to Boise, Nampa Area, no biggie.. He bought a car......(He flips Cars for a living.)

He told me that night that he wanted to go to Boise early to get that car that he bought to the shop to check it over, well, that didn't work,

Thursday, I arrived at his house before nine am and he had made other arrangements.. I went to the laundrymat for him, (see I don't know how to work the machines down there, since I have one at home.) I had to run the clothes and sheets/blankets to the laundrymat, then come back, clean up the living room area, run back to the laundrymat to put the clothes in the dryer, then go back to his place. (it was only five blocks away..).. then drove back to the laundrymat to pick them up, I folded them the best way I could, took the clothes/blankets/sheets back to his place.
I guess I didn't do a very good job at that, he didn't talk to me. Then we finally left to go to Boise.

After I came back from the first time I was at the laundrymat, I came thru the door and he said that I was grouchy. I stood up and said that I didn't like having people call me grouchy when I was in a good mood. He of course turned it around and told me that I could of gotten fired for that. (OH WELL!) He also told me that I was abusing him. (because I was trying to defend myself)

We went to Boise that morning, met his friend, went to where the car was (that he bought the day before), went back to Caldwell, to register the car in his name, so he could own it, Ok I asked very nicely, that if I can get off early b/c I needed to be home for Nicky, it was his last day of school.. He told me that we could pick Nicky up while we were in Caldwell, (he was at the DMV, I picked up Nicky). Drove back to the DMV, picked him up and drove back to Boise again. We waited for him to reserve a rental car for the weekend, we waited for four hours. I ended up at Enterprise in Boise at six pm. Nicky and I got home around seven pm.

There was some things said in between.. He told me that he was gay, I was a little suprised, and I thought about it, ok.. he is gay, no big deal.. Then we went to see his friend, he told her that he said He was gay and I believed him. It ended up being a big lie.. (I don't care for lying to me).

And missing Nicky's last day of school.. I was heartbroken. Yes He let me pick him up after school, but I feel I should of been there for Nicky.. He graduated from fifth grade on Tuesday.

I came home and told my husband about what happened that day, he told me that this job wouldn't work out, so I call his case worker and told him that things have changed..I didn't have a babysitter for the summer.

Then next day, which was Friday, I had to go in and fill out my tax papers, He called me to let me know that he was running late, I told him that things wouldn't work out and he asked me why, I told him that I didn't have a sitter for Nicky.. He said ok then hung up..

I just can't handle him, lying and using all my gas up.

So I enjoyed a relaxing day on Friday, Nicky went to Papa and Nana's for the day, he ended up coming home on Sunday night.

So now I am unemployed again.. I do have my ChaCha to fall back on. I have to spend at least three hours a day doing that. I get to spend quality time with my 11 year old son. Money is tight right now, but that is how things go.

And I am falling back on the candles.. So if you need any great smelling candles, look me up!!

It's Memorial Day!

2009-05-25T15:29:00.002-06:00

Hello there,
Time flies when you staying at home doing nothing much of anything.. LOL..

Yesterday I went to my Nephew's Graduation. Then went over to by Brother's house in Eagle, ID.
It was a nice graduation, Cory was one of the speakers. Very Proud of him!!

Well, nothing much going on, I start that job tomorrow.. And Neil starts his job tomorrow. So hopefully we will be rolling in the dough..

Will post some pictures up this week. I finally uploaded some stuff to the computer..

Have a Safe and Happy Memorial Day!! Feels like a Sunday to me..

It's a good day..

2009-05-14T11:25:00.003-06:00

well, I am at the computer on Facebook you know, I am chatting with my old classmates online, and I was talking to a dear friend that I grew up with. We were best friends, we hanged out, I would go to his house, he would come to mine. Since we were neighbors we could do that, I remember seeing him outside and I would yell at him telling him to come over. Those were the days!!! We had to yell at our friends to come over.. LOL.. Nowadays we chat on the internet to our friends.

Anyways, My son Neil went to a job interview for Verizon Wireless Tech Support and he called me a couple of minutes to tell me that he now has the job. Oh what a relief!! He has been unemployed since last February.. I am so happy for him.. Only thing is that it's in Boise so he has to drive 30 minutes to get to work. He started on the 26th of May for training for five weeks.. I am so tickled pink.. I can not stand myself..

I will be going to Ontario tonight with Nicky of course to have dinner with my sister in law. Well, she was married to Roger, since Roger is in the hospital Patti and Nicole has come to visit him. I am excited about that too.. I haven't seen her since 2001....

wow, two posts in 24 hours, that is amazing huh??

HI!!

2009-05-14T00:34:00.003-06:00

Hello there!! Yes I know I don't blog very much anymore.. Sorry about that folks..
This week is going by fast.. Today Mark's dad went in to the hospital to get a artery unclogged. Gary had to be there at 10:30am and he ended up going in to the operating room at 1:45pm. I got little updates from Mark's Mom.. Gary made it out of surgery and is ICU overnight to stabilize his blood pressure. I am not sure if he will be coming home tomorrow but that is what Carol (mom) said. The artery was in his neck. So we were a little worried about losing him.

My brother Roger is in the hospital, he has been in there all week. The doctor is supposed to schedule a operation for his legs, a skin graph type operation. But the doctor is concerned about other patients.. Not sure when he will be going in. Roger's Ex Wife Patti (my sweet sister in law) and Nichole (my niece) are driving down from Gresham, Oregon tonight. So I think they will spending the weekend in Ontario. So I will be happy to see them.. I haven't seen them since my nephew passed on back in 2001.

Neil and Angelia are taking about their wedding.. They are looking at wedding rings now, OMG!! they are expensive!!! My wedding ring is broken, the diamond fell out of it. Angelia wants to get married at a rose garden.. (in May?) I don't know if the roses will be in bloom by then.. Their guest list is up to 75 people she said. OMG!! How many friends do you have?? LOL.. It's hard though, when you have a split family, like Neil (me and my ex, his father) and her split family.. so it will be double the fun I guess!! LOL..

Well, I don't think I got that care attendant/helper job, He hasn't called me back since last Monday, I left him a message on Tuesday.. So I guess it wasn't meant to be then.. Hopefully, Neil will be working at Verizon Wireless, He called me today telling me about the interview, it's in Boise, so he has to get up early and drive.. It's only a half hour away, but the traffic here is bad!..

I have to drive to Boise on Friday to pay the house payment. Then on Saturday I drive to Ontario to visit a online friend and my brother. Liz is having a Open House/Anniversary party at her house in Payette, Idaho.. So that is where Nickolas and I will be..

I am not sure what I am going to do on Thursday... To go to Boise, to see my father in law, or to Ontario to see my brother and family. I don't know yet.. Probably ending up staying at home and saving gas for the weekend.. There is always the phone... (ring ring)..

Well, it's getting late and I am getting tired. Have a great weekend everyone!! HUGS!!

Thursday again!

2009-05-07T23:53:00.003-06:00

Hello there!!!
This is a picture of ME, Stan and Nicky. This was taking by Neil with his cell phone and I got it from his Myspace pictures. (please click on the Thursday again).

This week has gone a little slow. On Monday, I had a job interview. He called me back to see if I was still interested.. I said yeah, so I have to wait for him to call back and give me the place to pick up my paperwork..

Took Nicky to the Dentist on Tuesday in the AM.. Then we did errands, I love it when we get along, it makes me feel good, and yes he skipped school that day!

Nicky got a hair cut yesterday so he looks different. He used to have long (short) hair.. now he has a cut that is short. He looks good with short hair..

My brother Roger is in the hospital again, In ICU, with complications to his leg, not sure what is going on, Dad keeps me updated. I sent my niece (his daughter who lives in Gresham, OR) and she said she will be coming over to be with him for a couple of days.. I have not see Nicki for 10 years. Since Roger and Patti got divorced I haven't seen my nieces, they moved away with Patti.

We got invited to go over to Mark's Sister's house for Mother's Day for a BBQ.. And since it's Mother's Day and I am the MOM, I want to go to the Golden Corral for Breakfast in the AM.. So that means.. getting up at 6:45am and heading out by 7:15am to be there by 7:30am.. We will munch on eggs and bacon and other yummy stuff there and leave by 9am when everyone else will come in and eat. We will come home and take a nap.. LOL!! Then head out to Teresa's house for more food!!

My wedding ring broke, the diamond fell out of it. This week I went to Walmart and picked out a Promise ring.. it's very nice. it's only $58.. I took a picture of it and sent it to Mark on his cell phone.. He told me to buy it with the bill money.. (yeah right) I did not get it. I will wait till I get paid next month..

Well, it's Friday now.. The weekend is almost here and we are supposed to have nice weather!! Looking forward to that, we have been having rain, I like the rain, it waters our brown grass LOL! Nicky mowed the yard on Wednesday.. It was growing fast!!

Have a great Mother's Day Ladies!!! Enjoy your Day!!

I am sitting here, reading blogs, and one blog that I read was of course Christine, I read her blog everyday and another blog that I read was Rachel's. I read the post about "what I did today?" I actually know what you mean!! Since I am not working "outside" the home, I tend to stay at home. And I am getting tired of talking to the dogs. And my Rat Stan doesn't talk back to me..

Cleaning house, watching tv, washing laundry, washing the dishes, same shit different day, it gets boring!!! I hear ya sister rachel!!! We should do lunch!!

Tomorrow I have a job interview for a care attendent/helper.

I have made some cello bags with candles for BirthMother's Day so I have to send them out to New Hampshire tomorrow..

Hmmmm something happened to my Computer yesterday while I was typing and the window disappeared, so thanks for the autosaving they have here, I didn't lose it. So today, I am posting it.

Happy Star Wars Day!! Have a great Monday!!

Monday, have some exciting news!

2009-04-27T14:17:00.003-06:00

This weekend went by fast again.. On Saturday, Neil came over and helped Mark change his radio in his Nova. It was a nice surprise since the last time we seen him was Easter..
Nicky went over to his friend's house, Adrianne. He spent four hours over there..

Sunday was a lazy day again, Nicky went to his friends house for another five hours.. Nicky gets really bored at home and he wanted to visit his friend again.. Mark played his xbox game and took a three hour nap.. Of course his friend came over for dinner..

Ok, here is some good news:
My brother Randy who lives in Bend, His son, Bill and his wife Heidi had their first child.. A baby girl.. Grianna Lynn (i think) weighing in at 7 lbs and 12 ozs (i think). Nancy (the proud grandma) called me on Saturday and told me, but I was still waking up so I don't remember what the little details were.. I am a great Aunt!!! Wow, do you think I should feel OLD? LOL..

Ok, Roger is not doing very well again, His legs are still infected. I can not afford to go over there so I am calling on the phone.. Roger had a hospital visit this morning, I called Dad and Roger was getting his legs rewrapped again..

Ok last but not least, this hasn't hit me yet. You know that Neil and Angelia are engaged right?? Well, I got a text messsage from Angelia that they have set the date!!! It is sometime next year!! May 8, 2010!! One of my little boys has grown up. (Sigh).

As for me, I have been not doing much, been getting depressed some days. I think I need to get out of the house more often!! Not doing very well with the candles, it seems like I am not doing very well in the home either, but Mark is tolerating me. Nicky loves me home.. But I get tired of cleaning the house and things like that.. I need to do or find something that makes me happy... I need to let myself be successful!! I guess I am not doing that. I am just standing there watching the world go by..

Have a great week~~~

Tuesday..

2009-04-21T10:51:00.002-06:00

Well, It is a beautiful Spring Day here in Idaho.. The temperatures are going to be up in the 80's today.......... Time to open up the doors!!

I am good, just staying home (saving gas) and trying to make a living work from home. (chacha) I need to make this work........ it's a easy job, to some extend. The hard part of it finding the answers to some of the questions.. And boy do I get questions! LOL..

Have to go to Nicky's school and order a T-shirt for him. They have School Shirts that they are selling and Nicky wants one.. The Dentist appt was not scheduled today like I hoped it would be, they didn't call back last week when I called them. So now it's for May 6th. Nicky does have a Doctor's Appt on Thursday.. On Friday I have to run around with "that" friend of mine, have to take her to another Doctor's Appt..

So I am chilling so to speak. Have a great week!! I might not post much these days since I don't have much to talk about.

It's Ryan's Birthday..

2009-04-16T10:14:00.004-06:00

Today My little nephew has a birthday today.. well, he is not a little one anymore, he is growing up.. Ryan is on the left, his brother Nathan is on the Right, Nathan also had a birthday this month, April 5. I am not sure which one is oldest but they are a year apart.. Happy Birthday to you!!

Yesterday I made it through the day, after dealing with my friend and taking her places, I didn't get home til 6pm. I had to take Nicky to Awanas last night, then came home and rested... then picked up Nicky and went to Albertson's to spend my $5 coupon before it expired.. I went to bed early last night!! And I "worked" for a hour before I left.

I will be "working" today after chasing the dogs around the house.. Right now they are sleeping... I already ran the dishwasher, put a load of laundry (my blanket) in the washer and now it's time to get it out and put into the dryer with my dryer sheets.. Need to vacuum the living room today... after cleaning out Stan's cage. It's so nice to be home, I appreciate the time home after a wild day yesterday.. I did get some $$$$ though.. so I am happy!!

Just chilling out with the dogs and need to Cha Cha some today!! Have a great day!!!

My WAHM Space is up for Sale!!

2009-04-15T11:48:00.000-06:00

My WAHM Space was started in October of 2007. We have over 600 members and more than 1500 visitors at any one time. Our traffic is quite large. But at this time the three of us have sites that are taking much more of our time than we expected. It is our regret that we need to put My WAHM Space up for sale. We were one of the first sites to set up social networking directly for WAHM's and our domain is PREMIUM.

The site as it stands is worth at least $2700, but we are not expecting that amount. We would like to sell to someone in the WAHM world that will build it to the potential we saw when we started it. We are taking all serious offers at this time starting at $1500. If interested, please send an email to contact@mywahmspace.com for more details.

We have such a high value on our site and it's potential. We've worked hard at keeping the spam down and out. We are looking for someone to take it over and take it to the next level. Business coaching will also be included with the sale of the site if they would like.

Thank you for all you have done to build our site, we hope you will continue to benefit from the high monthly traffic our site passes on.

Sincerely,

Lauren, Val, Anita

Saturday, Almost Easter Sunday!

2009-04-11T22:07:00.002-06:00

Hello Blog Readers out there!! I am sitting here at the computer here.. Reading all the blog posts of friends. I thought I would share one with you.. My Friend Dexter Black has a blog--
http://wealthandrichesonline.blogspot.com/ His lastest blog post is about "What One Trillion Dollars Looks Like". I watch the Glenn Beck Program every night with my husband and Glenn showed this. Anyways, I looked it up on www.youtube.com but I can not find what I am looking for.. But Dexter's Message says it about the same..

It's a lazy Saturday here at the Winter's House.. Oh I have some great news for ME.. I want to thank Shell from New Mexico, I found her on www.cafemom.com. She helped me be a Cha Cha Guide this week.. So now I answer questions from people.. I have been getting training from Shell, she calls me when she can, and we talk about Cha Cha. I am still learning.. It's fun but very frustrating at first. But I will get the hang of it in a few days. I have been spending a hour or less answering questions. But I will spend more time on it when I am by myself during the work week when no one is home with me. I think I am going to like this job. Thank you Shell very much!!

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday, we are going over to Neil and Angelia's new apt for Easter Dinner.
Should be fun, Angelia said that she would do a egg hunt for Nicky.. Nicky is calling her big sister now, since now they are engaged!

Christine I am sorry I read it wrong, I am sorry.. My thoughts are with you and her.

Well, time to get some dinner now, I know it's almost bedtime, but Mark and his friend are playing the XBOX and I am here at the computer. I am getting hungry!!!

Have a great weekend!!

Thursday..

2009-04-09T17:38:00.002-06:00

I want to say thank you Sandy Morgan for following me. Now I have seven followers.. Yippee!!

Ok, no good news today, just another boring day at my house. Nicky got out early today and he does not go to school tomorrow..

I made up some Honey Bee Vanilla scent samples today and labeled my catalogs so I can give them out to people who would like to order candles.. I am not sure if I can make this work or not. No one is calling me..

Christine I am very sorry to hear about your sister.

We got invited to Neil and Angelia's new place for Easter Dinner on Sunday..

It's Monday!!

2009-04-06T23:02:00.002-06:00

Hello there, I seem to forget this now since I don't have it on my bookmarks, well I do but it's not that easy to get. I had all the blogs saved on the Internet Explorer but I don't have that anymore. So now I have to remember all the sites and book mark them to Firefox..

Today, I stayed home and vacuumed the living room and clean up the kitchen. I did apply for a work at home job that I am excited about, not sure if I will be accepted yet. Still in the "taking the tests" part of it..

Ok on Friday, I went to the bank since it was payday.. I went to the bank in Nampa where they were have a "birthday party". They have been in that location for a year. Well, I took out money for Mark, I filled out a slip to be enter in a "cash draw". You know, you go into a bubble with money flying around everywhere. They picked my name. I had 15 seconds to grab some money. Well, I was very disappointed.. I ended up taking home $5. Yeah and four pieces of paper with their bank name on them. I was excited but disappointed at the same time. They only had one $10 and the rest $1 bills and those stupid white pieces of paper...

On Saturday Night, Nicky spent the night at his aunt's house. I forgot to go back to the bank on Saturday for their Wii Game System Giveaway, I remember it tonight.........duh!! On Sunday was a lazy day also.... spend time on the computer mostly on Myspace and Facebook..

Tomorrow I will be driving to Boise with my ex-client. I told her that I would drive her to her doctor's appointment.. (the last time I was supposed to go, my car broke down). I can really use the money... I am broke!!

Neil and Angelia moved last week.. closer to us.. five blocks down and two blocks on the right. So I can walk to their house this summer!!

Off to check my emails now.......and then head to bed.

Thursday..

2009-04-02T09:42:00.002-06:00

It's Thursday already, tomorrow is finally pay day, got to pay the mortgage and the car insurance.
Today I am trying to get motivated, I can not get motivated... I have some things to do that I wanted to get done this week, I have to rearrange a corner of the living room, get a Candle Packet ready to be mailed out, Go to Parent-Teacher Conferences at 3:30pm, Pick up Nicky at 1:30pm and pick up Pepper between that.. LOL Sounds like fun huh?

Neil and Angelia moved everything in one day, I went over last night to give them some dinner, they had company and was fixing breakfast for dinner, but they still loved the brownies I think..LOL Angelia thought their little "Joplin" ran away, but ended up hiding in a cupboard..

Well, off to eat some toast and drink my cherry rum coffee.. More later..

April 1st..

2009-04-01T18:13:00.002-06:00

It's April already, wow, time sure goes by fast.. New Years', Nicky's birthday in March and now it's April... Easter is this month... I have relatives that have birthdays this month also.. My Adopted Dad will turn 79 years old this month on the 29th.

Well, I went to help Neil and Angelia today.. They moved out of their 1 bedroom apt to a 2 bedroom duplex with a single garage.. it's very big compared to the other apartment, I helped Angelia clean the kitchen, vacuum the living room and clean the bathroom.. I will take some pictures of it sometime..

I made a early dinner, going to take some dinner over to their house.. I guess all their friends are coming over tonight also.. No one wanted to help them move but now they want to come over.. go figure..

more later...

I made my money

2009-03-29T02:40:00.003-06:00

I sold enough candles this month to pay for the April Candle of the Month.. I sold two candles to my sister in law, Pear Pomegranate and Wildflowers.. I also sold my Birthday Cake and Spring Fever to another gal who works at the local restaurant here.. So I made the money to cover my COTM.. I am happy about that.

Another Distributor that works for this great Candle Company traded me some things that I can use for my business. I traded her 18 new catalogs for a box with slips, some newspaper reprints, some decals, a "Business is Booming" DVD. So I am going to take that box to a chinese restaurant this week and see if I can get permission to leave it there.. My business is taking baby steps...

My biological brother's Girlfriend Amy, who lives in CA, is doing good, I talked to her today on the phone.. I wish I could see my little nephew.. I guess he is growing up so fast.. No sign of Patrick though, I wonder what and how is he doing...

Please use the Chat to Text icon on the right hand side, you can use this by clicking on the icon and click on text a friend, then put my name in, (diane winters), and you can text me right from the computer.. If you are interested in joining please do, it's only $6 per month, I am shooting for 5 people to join under me.. I will give you free training from my upline!!

Well, I try not to neglect my blog this week..

Waving to all my blog readers out there and thank you for reading..

Saturday,.......

2009-03-28T13:04:00.004-06:00

I know, I am sorry, I don't get over to my blog, I am neglecting it... It's Saturday and I really need to do something with this living room!!!

Well, this week on Wednesday, I was driving to pick up a ex-client of mine who asked me to take her to a doctor's appt, well that didn't happened my car died on the corner. So I called my son Neil to pick up Nicky and I. He took us home, it was raining that day, and he was busy to fix it.
Thursday Neil came over and went to the NAPA Auto store and picked up a Fuel Pump and Fuel Filter. The good thing was it was still under warranty.. Yeah!! So Neil and his friend Jay went to Nampa to get the car and towed it back to the house and it took them two hours to fix the car.

And while he was finished up on the car, Neil told me some great news. I was talking to him about Angelia, (only rumor) how that Angelia and him fight all the time, etc, I was teasing him, then he told me "mom, Angelia isn't my girlfriend anymore, she is my finance'!" I said "what!!", when did this happen and he told me last month.. I as a mom, asking questions, left and right!!
So I am exciting, don't know when the Wedding is.. All I am exciting Angelia is the niciest, sweetest girl, I welcome her to the family with a big hug... And yes I would love to have her as a daughter in law!!

Today is Saturday, Neil and Angelia came over for a quick visit, took some ramen noodles.. They are packing, they are moving into a 2 bed room duplex that they will sign a 1 year lease on Wednesday April 1st.. They are exciting to be moving, they now live in one bed room apt, which is cute but they have grown out of it..

Well, one post for the whole week.. Things will get back to normal next week I hope, Nicky will be in school and I will be trying to sell my candles.

Have a great Saturday!!!!

Tuesday...

2009-03-24T12:33:00.002-06:00

it's Tuesday and how time sure goes by fast, the time I spend at home goes by fast also.. LOL
I can not believe it's been over a month since I lost my job. And have I been looking? nope. there isn't much around here in Caldwell.

Just hanging out with Nicky this week. He is off from school.. We have been playing "Bully" on the PS2. It's pretty fun, and sometimes he lets me play it.. LOL

Oh we have another pet.. Neil brought over his pet for us to take care of.. Some people think it is gross, but Stan is pretty well behaved little creature.. He stays in his little cage and does not do much.. The dogs are still freaking out though, but they will get use to him..

Well, I am going to fix some lunch for us now.. We are getting hungry!!

more later i hope..

Sunday,

2009-03-23T00:08:00.002-06:00

I have a head cold, been spending lots of time on the couch sleeping. Mark has been busy in the kitchen making breakfast, (sausage links and hash browns and gravy), then He put a Ham in to the oven that we got from Christmas. So I have a head cold, I had to cancel my visit with my best friend Tambra..

So I am just playing Mafia Wars on Myspace and Facebook and working on my Green Spot on Myspace. So I will be going to bed in a few..

Hopefully this will go away... I hate being sick!!

Goodnight..

I kind of disable my Internet Explorer so now I am using Mozilla Firefox. It works a lot better because it doesn't closed down.. like IE used to.. How do I get back my Internet Explorer browser?? Hmmmmmm??

what? it's Saturday?

2009-03-21T17:47:00.003-06:00

well, hello there, I did a very stupid thing, one person knows of it because I told that person.. shhhh lets' keep it a secret..

so I have to redo everything on my computer, saving websites etc.. it's about done. The only problem I am having is that I can not log in to Myspace.. :(

Last night I got invited to go drinking!!! Yes Mark's sister invited me to go have a couple of beers with her, well, ended up having about 7 I think, lost count.. Mark took me to the bar, stayed there watching people get stupid, then I asked Neil and Angelia to take us home. Neil drove Teresa's truck home and Angelia and I picked him up from his house and they drove me home. It was fun to get out of the house!!

Just being lazy today, got to sleep in til noon... hey hangover.. I felt better getting up so late..
The Boys (mark and Nicky) are playing a video game and I am here at the computer. I ran the dishwasher and did a load of laundry.. I have to take Nicky to Teresa's house to spend the night.. Yippee!!

More later... Have a great Saturday!!

Thursday Morning.

2009-03-19T01:50:00.002-06:00

It's almost 2am and Yes I am still up.. I am kind of upset and pissed at the same time, I can not explain the story because that would take forever.. But I need to talk to my husband about it and talk to another friend about it.

Today was a very lazy day, I mean I slept for four hours I think..LOL I had to take Pepper out at my SIL's house again, then paid the bills that she left out for me, I took Pepper with me, he enjoyed himself..

I wanted to hang up some flyers today, but that didn't happen.. I want to go to
Ontario tomorrow, (thursday) to show off the candles to my brother's roommate. Which I am not talking to my brother Roger, he can go f**k himself... Sorry but that is how I feel about him.. And I would love to have lunch with my new Facebook friend Liz..

On Friday, Nicky is out of school... and for the next week.. oh boy oh joy!! I don't get nothing done with him home.. Maybe he can spend time with Grandma-- I hope!! Tomorrow, (thursday) Nicky has a field trip to BSU in Boise, Id.. so I think he will enjoy that, I can not come along, :( but I do need to go show off my candles.. (hopefully she will order something..)

Angelia wants a car freshener... Neil and Angelia are moving after the 1st of April to their new apt.. They are very excited about it, oh Neil asked me to take care of his pet rat (stan).. Mark hasn't decided yet, but I don't want him to go to strangers, Stan is a good rat.

well, time for bed... I need to get some sleep..

Tuesday

2009-03-17T22:54:00.002-06:00

Well, the picture says it all!!
Were you wondering where I went to??

I was at home. LOL.. I seem to forget to "blog" somedays..

Today is Tuesday, March 17th of 2009.
And no I didn't wear Green, I didn't get caught..

I had a appointment with Nicky's teachers this morning at 8am, (I crawled out of bed at 7:45am). Woke up Nicky, got dressed, called the school to let them know I didn't forget and I am on my way.
School is a minute away in car.. Trying to find a parking place is another story.

That lasted for a hour. Came home and played on the computer for a bit, you know, Twitter! LOL.. I took a little breakfast break, then went to work on printing labels for my New Candle Catalogs, the TRU Chocolate brochures and Biz Cards. OH I did find something to put into a Flyer so that took me a hour to type up and print out.. I didn't that before picking up Nicky from school.. Then went to my SIL's house to let her doggy Pepper outside. That dog can scratch a mile a minute..LOL Came home and restarted the computer, made dinner, ate dinner and here I am trying to think of something to blog about.

I got some good news, There is a lady on the local tv station. I am following her and she finally accepted my follow, so I sent her a direct message to her about my candles, She replied! (Sure, bring them to the Station!) So I get to "loan out" my Pear Pomegranate Jar Candle to her so she can burn it and hopefully she can share with her co-workers..

Mark is sick this week, has a head cold.. I gave him some cough meds when he got home, he drank some of it.. I told him to wait til 9pm to take it.. Now he is sleeping..

I am here getting a little bit tired. So hope you are doing well and please don't drink and drive.. it's not safe..

Saturday Lazy day...

2009-03-14T20:18:00.003-06:00

Sorry Bloggers for I am not blogging like I should.. I just got done looking at my friend's blog.. DEXTER BLACK's BLOG

Just being lazy today, had to do some errands today, (I sold another candle today) My New Catalogs are coming in on Monday. So I need to get the labels ready for that.. And make some more scent samples.

more later, have a great weekend!!!

Thursday... sigh...

2009-03-12T13:35:00.002-06:00

It's a beautiful day outside and I am inside sleeping...LOL.. My sleeping pattern is screwed up, I stay up til 2am then get up at 7:45am/8am. Then if I don't have anything to do, I go take a nap which lasts for three hours.

Today, I have to pay the car insurance then drop off some scent samples and flyers to the usual places.

It's nice to have the house to myself.. it's quiet. The dogs are sleeping also..

I had to drive a ex-client to boise for her doctors appt, so I made some money there.. So I spend three hours at St. Al's Hospital, they are added on some new buildings and it looks a lot different when I was there last to see my Dad when he had a stroke. I loved their cafetria, (misspelled wrong) they have some great food there.

Nicky had a music concert last night that I went to. Mark stayed home again. He doesn't do much with Nicky's activities lately.. So I am the MOM and DAD in his life.. But Mark does work so I can understand that he is tired when he gets home.

Went over to Ontario around 6pm on Tuesday to see my brother Randy and his wife Nancy from Bend, Oregon, they were helping Roger out with some paperwork that he had to get down the State (Insurance I guess), they didn't tell me very much about it. We had a great dinner at Sizzler. I enjoyed talking with Nancy.. she is a sweetheart.. Randy on the other hand, has a scarcism sense of honor so to speak, always making little rude comments about his little sister. I guess that what big brothers are for huh?? What hurt me the most is that he didn't even try to hug me when he left. Nicky and I finally made it home around 9pm. Whew it was a long day.

On Saturday going over to see my brother's ex wife Patti and his daughter Nicole. I haven't seen them since Randy jr's funeral which was 2001 I think..
We have been talking on the phone and we are on myspace and facebook together now..

ok, I think that is all, time to get out in the sun and see if I can sell a candle or two.

It's Nicky's Birthday Today!!!

2009-03-10T08:56:00.002-06:00

Here is Nicky at Primo's with his CARS cake.

Here is a pic of his CARS cake.

I called one of the Radio Stations today to announce
his birthday over the radio. I was excited but he wasn't.

I uploaded the pictures to my computer, I see the videos
on there, and when I moved the pictures to a new folder,
I lost the videos.. I don't know where they went!
It just like they disappeared.. I am so bummed right now!!!

I wanted to show you the videos I did when he blew
out the candles.. (I am very irritated right now!!)

More Surprises are in store for Nicky today..
I have to run to Walmart and pick up a new bike for him.

(his big brother isn't too happy since he has three
bike frames outside, Nicky likes to 'try' to fix them and doesn't.)

Anyways, I have to run to Ontario today to visit my DAD and Brother.

Oh Good News, Roger is at HOME now!!! Dad took him home yesterday~

And I got a phone call from Roger's oldest daughter.. And his other

daughters are coming in this weekend to visit with him.

Ok, I am still upset with the video thing. GRR!!!

Good Afternoon Monday...

2009-03-09T14:04:00.003-06:00

I went to bed late last night and I only got 4 hours of sleep... Got up the Nicky to take him to school... came back watched my soap that I missed on Friday, then curled up on the couch for a quick nap. HA! I heard the phone ring, went back to sleep, finally woke up, let the dogs out, then looked at the clock! OMG, it was 1 pm. Now I am checking emails, I have lots of friends on Twitter now!!

Oh I wanted to comment about Idaho's Weather yesterday, we went to Primo's in Nampa for Nicky's Birthday Party at 2pm, when we left the sun was out, it was still cool (temperature wise), we got there, and it started to snow, for a good hour!!! When we finally left around 4pm the snow melted away and the sun was shining ... Weird weather..

Need to make up some flyer type newsletter to mail out to my previous customers.. I can remind them that I am here with candles in hand.. Oh speaking of candles..I received my Candle of the Month today, it's Pear Pomegranate and it smells ohhhhh sooooo gooood.......... Going to make lots of scent samples with that one....... I always like food fragrances..

Last Wednesday when I drove to Boise, I was munching on some tator chips and broke the tooth on the right side, the back side of the tooth, funny b/c I didn't notice it till later...... now it's getting worst, but it doesn't hurt yet.. I will probably go in to see the dentist this week and get it pulled.. OUCH!!!

Ok, I am going to work now!!

Saturday

2009-03-07T12:00:00.002-07:00

There is not much to blog about today, I was lazy for two days. (thursday and friday), but I did sell my "spring fever" candle and I am selling my "birthday cake" candle today.. And I ordered some new Candle Catalogs yesterday..

The sun is shining brightly outside today, hope it will warm up a little bit, we have temperatures in the 40's this week except for Monday when it was up to 68 degrees which was a record high.

Just hanging out at home.. going to sell my candle in the afternoon...and I have to get some gas for the car.. well, I won't be selling the candle today, she called and asked me to come in next saturday, I asked her yesterday when it was a good time to come in and she told me in the afternoon.. oh well.. at least she called to let me know..

Tomorrow is Nicky's Birthday Party at 2pm in Nampa. Have to pick up the cake at Walmart and head out. Just family is going to be there, so that should be nice to talk to them. Tuesday is his Birthday at 8:24am he turns 11 years old! Wow, time sure goes by so fast!

I asked Angelia if she would put a Gourmet Candle Web Decal on her car.. she said yes.. Nicky and I went over there last night for dinner.. I made pork stirfry while Angelia worked on her homework..

Have a great day everyone!!!

It's been a week..

2009-03-04T22:58:00.002-07:00

It's almost Thursday now, it's been a busy week for me.. On Tuesday, I drove to Ontario in the rain, drove out of the storm to the sunshine, to see my brother Roger, he is doing better. He is still weak, but can talk now. He is a little confused at times. I told him that I came over last Thursday and Friday, he said, where was I? He told me that they have to give him some blood which is true, they gave him 3 pints of blood. He doesn't look yellow anymore, he looks tired, I hope he gets better.. The CNA came in and said that she would give him a bath, he mentioned, oh that should be fun.. So he does have a little sense of humor, I told him that I loved him and went on my way.. He told me that he loves me and called me by nickname. So he knew who I was. It's very hard to see someone like that.

His ex-wife Patti and his daughters Kaycee and Nicole are coming in this weekend from Gresham, Oregon.. I am not sure if he will like that since Roger pushed them away in the past.. But they want to see him.
I am excited to see Patti and the girls I haven't seen them since my nephew passed away in 2001. Patti found me on myspace on Monday night, I was excited, now we can communicate with each other more. I still consider her family, I grew up with her when I was little..

Well, today I drove to Boise, Idaho to pick up a xbox game for the hubby, dropped off the monitor that was sitting on the floor, finally found the place after stopping at a Pawn One store to ask for directions.. Then I called my other sister in law, Roger's twin brother's wife.. We grew up together when I was little also, we are close.. Ended up a Mexican Restaurant for lunch around 2pm, I bought her lunch and we chatted for a hour.. It was nice to sit down and talk.. I don't get to do that very often..
We had thunderstorms again today, it was hailing and raining.. Picked up Nicky from school came home and it was white.. I guess it hailed hard.. Did a load of laundry when I got home and relaxed for a while.. Went to get McDonald's for dinner. Took a little nap in my chair and now here I am.. Oh Neil came over this morning to drop off his laundry.. I started it for him and left for Boise.

I think tomorrow I will staying home.. I have been doing things all week, it's nice to stay home and enjoy.. well, you know the home, the dogs etc. Zito is doing good, still hype as ever.. I guess it didn't faze him at all..

well, I think that is all for right now.. Oh we are getting ready for have a birthday party for Nicky on Sunday.. I ordered his cake from Walmart and called the restaurant and make reservations.. Trying to invite some of his school friends and family, Nicky has been a bad mood lately, not sure what his problem is..

Have a great week!!

Tuesday!!

2009-03-03T10:55:00.002-07:00

It's Tuesday, I took Zito to the Vet this morning so he can get "fixed". Took Nicky to school, went to Walmart.

Getting ready to head to Ontario today, to visit my brother Roger at the hospital. Then came back home and pick up Nicky and the dog.. LOL

2009-03-01T14:45:00.002-07:00

hello there, I am doing well today, I got to sleep in........ Nicky spent the night at Papa and Nana's house last night.. And Mark's friend came over last night to watch a movie..

Today, Mark and I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond, that is one expensive place to shop.. We bought one of the air cleaners, Mark's mom has one of them so we bought one today, plus some other little items. Ended up spending over $100 there. Then we went to Port of Subs to grab a sandmich.. ohhh they have great sandmiches there.. Then we came home.

Update on Roger: I have been calling my Dad every few hours to get a update on him and he is doing better. Today Roger ate breakfast and got to talk to Dad for a while. The jaundice (yellow) is going away.. I will probably head over there tomorrow (monday) for a quick visit.

Yesterday, his twin brother Rod went over there and closed down the shop..

So we are just hanging out.. Mark is playing his game today and we are waiting for Nicky to come home..

Friday,

2009-02-27T10:17:00.003-07:00

I have been trying to be strong today, calling my family, my mom's cousin, my cousin, etc etc. I cancelled a engagement that i had at 4:30pm...

Right now, I am getting ready to take a ex-client that I had with CCOA, she wants me to drive her to a doctor's appt today... not really looking forward to it, but hey she will be paying me big bucks now, since I am not working. LOL.. then after that I will be picking Nicky up from school and then head out to Ontario.

I found a new friend on Facebook, Liz Amason, she works in Ontario!! She knows of my brother, what a very small world huh?? Looking forward to meeting her tonight..

I am sad today, I really hope he makes it. Thank you everyone for the prayers !!

Updating my blog..

2009-02-26T16:25:00.002-07:00

I drove to Ontario, went to visit Roger's roommate and he told me what happened on Monday night.. Roger's condition was very bad at that point.

Went to see my Dad at his home and we went to the hospital together.. Roger is in ICU.. He is hooked up to IV's and a bag.. He was sleeping when we went to see him. I guess from what the nurse said, Roger had a bad night, he is in detox right now, they have been sedating him pretty much.. I have his daughter's phone numbers so I have been trying to call them and let them know what is going on with their dad. Roger has a long way to go to get better.. Of course drinking mostly his life didnt help.. I will go back tomorrow to see him plus go to a wake for a family friend who passed on last week..

I need to go thru some old box of pictures that I have in the garage.. To find pictures of Roger.. just in case. I really hope he makes it. I haven't spent much time with him lately like I should have..

Just got off the phone with my niece, Kaycee Jo.. Roger's oldest daughter and let her know what is going to with her dad.

Time to go and pick up Nicky from school...

It's Thursday..

2009-02-26T08:51:00.003-07:00

I got a phone call last night from my brother Rod. He told me that his twin brother Roger (my brother).. is in the hospital in Ontario, Oregon.. So Prayers are needed if possible..

I am getting ready to head over there in the next hour.. Going to see my Dad and Roger... Going to be a busy day..

Tomorrow I have to take a friend to Meridian, Idaho for her doctor's appt..then go to the home of my client's family.. I lost another dear client on Monday and his service will be in Boise, which I can not make to it, but I will try to meet them afterwards, then probably head back to Ontario, Oregon to be with my family.. A dear friend of our family also passed away and her wake is Friday night, so I would like to stop by to see them..

Neil was working his job last night, funny, he called me at midnight (pocket call) and I was listening to him for 10 minutes.. He also sent me something (video) that I can not view on my cell phone.. So today I will stop by and check it out..

Well, will post later on today after I get back home.. Let ya know how Roger is doing.. Have a good one!!

Wacky Wednesday!

2009-02-25T11:20:00.002-07:00

Ok, I am in much better MOOD today!! Things yesterday I didn't feel good, I was upset and mad and had a bad feeling all day, but it's better today!!

Trying to do things around the house.. the usual.... laundry, dishes, shower, vacuum, fold clothes, watch tv.. and talking to the dogs..

Well, I am waiting for my candle window decal, it should arrive sometime this week I hope.. and I am expecting some TRU chocolate also, haven't really decided if I will promote this business yet, I haven't even tried the product! If I lose 10 lbs, I will certainly be "happy" about that.. but I don't want to spend money on something and it doesn't work..

ohoh oh oh oh some exciting news I think: Neil my oldest son went to work today!! Yes!!! he will be helping putting up the stage (and trying down the stage tonight) for.............................Rascal Flatts!!! They are playing at the Idaho Center this evening!! I am so exciting, I got him this job!! And I hope he will like it and enjoy it.. Neil has been out of work since last February.. So this make his MOM really happy!!!

I am going to get that gray out of my hair today, waiting for it to completely dry and they BANG~ all new color, it's going to be a dark brown I think...

Well, have to do something around the house....

Tuesday!

2009-02-24T09:37:00.002-07:00

It's Tuesday already, and I am here watching True Hollywood Story. It is featuring Jack Nicholson. He is one of my favorite actors..

Yesterday, I made three kinds of scent samples: Wildflowers, Spring Fever and Chocolate Kiss.. I made up strips of paper with my info and scent description.. I will be giving them out this week.. Neil came over and did their laundry, I bought him lunch. I didn't do much productive.........

Got a phone call and another client of mine that I was very close to passed away. So I was a little down in the dumps..

Then hubby came home and everything wasn't right with him. One of the things that happened; we were making dinner, sausage with hamburger helper. Mark came in the kitchen and was "cleaning" up around the stove, there were pots and pans that he moved.. well, he put the big pot (the pot that you boil potatoes in) he put the pot on the back burner and put the stuff that was in the hamburger helper box into the pot. Some how he (or someone not me) put the burner on, I was taking out dishes out of the dishwasher and putting the dirty dishes in. I was smelling something funny, then I seen the pot on the stove.. well, the dry elbow noodles plastic bag melted, the noodles were brown.. I took everything out of the pot, which was very hot.. and put the pot in the sink.. I put the brown elbow noodles in a bowl to let them cool off, then took them into the living room to show mark.. He said that he didn't do it.. (well i didn't do it).. Then the dinner wasn't good enough for him! The Sausage wasn't cooked enought he said, so he made himself some hot pockets. He was just in a bad mood, don't know if it was his tooth that was bothering him, (which he doesn't have a dentist), or his blood sugar level.. but he was a real prick last night.. I went to bed early..

Today, I am just chilling out here. I have to take the old monitor to Boise and drop it off.. Maybe go visit some old clients that I had.. Being home is a little boring..

ok enough venting..........have a good one..

Happy Lazy Sunday

2009-02-22T13:21:00.002-07:00

Enjoy that snow ~C~ and yes Spring will be here before you know it..

It's sunny outside with wind outside. Nicky took Zito for a walk.. I slept in, got up and crawled up on the couch and watched "Prom Night" which was showing on Starz last night, we DVRed it.. That show was boring!!

I seen Pineapple Express at the theatre last year, it is a funny movie but I didn't like it too much..

Yesterday we watched "Short Circuit". Remember that movie?? Nicky actually watched the movie.

Today, is a lazy day, doing laundry, cleaning house and making up scent samples later to give out this week..

Yesterday I went shopping for a new keyboard.. I found one, it's very quiet except for the space bar. Also bought some clothes that was on clearance for Nicky, a shirt for Mark (Charlie Daniels t-shirt), bought some Valentine's day cards for next year, they were on sale, and bought a new thing for the bathroom.. I spend a lot of money there!! And bought some paper, ink and other items that I needed..

Staying home today and watching movies..

Today was my Last Day.........

2009-02-12T16:37:00.003-07:00

Hi there, I haven't been blogging much, nothing to report about.. I went to work today, I had to clients.. Then I dropped off my time sheet today at the office. My boss Carol, (bless her little heart)... asked me to talk to me (alone).. And she told me that they had to let me go.. Not because of my work abilities, but they don't have money to fund the homemakers. So I was one of them. I am sad....to a point, No money coming in on my end, (hey, the paychecks are nothing to write mama about), but that I dont have to listen to my clients tell their stories over and over again.. Mine you, I love "some" of my clients to death.. I enjoy visiting with them and I don't mind cleaning their houses.. but there are some that don't appreciate me..

So anyways, so I will be concentrating on my candles and try to find other work..

So I will post more later.. have a good one..
