Ever since the modem for our phone got struck by lightning, we have been using the other modem we had. It is TERRIBLE at consistent data retrieval. I am glad it works at all, but it’s annoying when I need to talk on the phone and do work online at the same time. Error page after error page pop up all the time. I have been switching the cables back and forth so that when I don’t HAVE to be on the phone, I can get consistent internet access, but this is starting to get annoying. I wish they made some kind of mock HDMI switch just for this type of situation. Then I could cut off one side of the service while the other stays on. I guess it would be more like the old style cable switches that slide from side to side in order to give cable versus the antenna. Anyone know of a switch like that?

To a home right here! OMG I am getting the fabulous George Foreman Gbroil Supremo in platinum to try right here in my own kitchen! I am going to be doing a fantastic review, so I want to make sure you are all aware of the upcoming feature. There will be a video of me using it and everything. You have got to stay tuned for this one. I once had a small grill from the same company, and loved it TO DEATH, for real. I have been itching to get my hands on a larger gril and now I am getting one. I can hardly contain my glee. Make sure you keep your eye on this blog for the upcoming full review.

Just recently I was contemplating adding another car to my insurance. I was scared to find out the amount that they would add on top of what I already pay. Luckily for me, my new car insurance quote was only fifty dollars more than my original (per month). I was really shocked! I would be able to add another car at any given time for just another 50 dollars on top of my bill. That made me so happy that I have been keeping my eye out for a good deal on another car to keep on our insurance as a back up just in case the others go wonky on us.

Well my Man finally made it back home from Puerto Rico last night. He has over 100 pictures on his cell phone. I have presents!!! I got a key chain sea turtle with a Puerto Rican flag on the back and I got the tea set back that we sent to Mami Hilda not too long ago. I have these lovely yellow muffins (that I can eat two full bags of and still want more) straight from PR. I have taken pictures with my like new Samsung 6.0 megapixel camera that my baby sister gave me after getting another one. Good stuff. I have to upload them. If anyone knows where I can find the actual transfer cord for ans s630 I would appreciate the info. Apparently, every time we have ordered the supposed cord *3 times* none of them fit! They are like a nanometer off or something. It’s crazy.
Hubby got a few other things like little knicknacks for the house and a gorgeous picture of Jesus from his grandmother’s house. He also got to take a number of photos she had in her private collection. Amazing to see him growing up in those pictures.
We are still planning a trip for 2 weeks in April. I can hardly wait.

*cough cough sneeze* Putting laundry away is such a pain in the nose. My nose is all stuffy and my eyes are full of lint right now. I hate doing laundry for this reason more than any other. At least wet laundry doesn’t make you gag on fibers. And please don’t be the one to put the lint from the dryer into the trash can and then accidentally touch your face with the same hand!! Talk about a nightmare. All in a day of wifery…even when the man isn’t home, the job still gets done

Okay, so I am home for a few. I am headed out the door to my friend’s house in a minute so we can hang out. I still have no niece, but that will be remedied in good time. I am mad because when I was at my mom’s I weighed myself. What is it with me? I lose weight, gain it back, lose again, gain again. Being a woman is frustrating!! GRRR. Anyhow, if I don’t get off the computer I am going to be late to my friend’s house. Keep my hubby and sis in your prayers, please. He comes back Wednesday and I can hardly wait.

So I finally decided to go to my mom’s house after complaining and whining and moaning about not wanting to go. I just didn’t want to drive and be around people in my mopey state. I am glad that I listened to wise counsel and headed this way. We are having a blast, and I am watching my sister waddle around with her preggo self. My son is happier here, too, since he was really brooding over his great grandmother’s passing. We took a few days off of homeschool to recover. Husband is still in PR and checking in at times to let me know he is alright, as well as finding out how we are holding up. We all miss each other a lot. Hopefully, the next thing I hear from the husband is that they extended his flight return from Saturday to Sunday so he can be there for all the services and fellowship that follows.

and in a few hours he will be landing in Puerto Rico to pay his last respects to our beloved Grandmother. How I wish to God I could be there, too.
With all the things that have been going on lately, I think I might need to start taking an appetite suppresant. This depression is making me eat like an abused animal. My pants are getting tighter and I am not liking it one little bit. I pray that things begin to look up all around. My shining hope is still there, sparkling at me every day. The rest of it is gloom. As the Bible says:
Psalm 46:1-3, TLB. “God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble. And so we need not fear even if the world blows up, and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam; let the mountains tremble!”
Psalm 91:7 LB Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, the evil will not touch me.
He didn’t say it wouldn’t affect me in some way, but that I would be somehow protected. I am grieved deeply, but I still stand.
