Happy B-day! and New App!!

It is not my b-day, but it is my Dad's Birthday! Happy Birthday Daddio! Wishing you health, happiness and many more! I love you!

Looking forward to making 2 pies later on today after browsing at World Market and the Mall :)  I am going to make an apple pie and then a minced pie. Wish me luck!

My love is traveling, wishing him safety and the chance to see him soon! We have some catching up to do :)

I hope to get some points from the great App for Iphone and Android phones called Shopkick. Here is a sign up link: http://get.shopkick.com/horseradish2925 Check it out! You literally walk into a store(s) like Target, Best Buy, Old Navy, American Eagle (and others in your area) and collect your points. You do not have to buy anything!!! Then you can redeem your points for prizes and gift cards like Target, CVS, Old Navy, a Cruise, Itunes, Movie Tickets, Lowes etc...

Simple steps:
1. Just turn on the app on your phone.
2. Walk past the detectors
3. Wait for the Shopkick bubble to pop up with your points.
4. Click/Pop the bubble.
5. Walk out the store :)
All done in less than 2 minutes! The kids will enjoy popping the bubble, it even makes sounds when you do it (I enjoy popping the bubble and I am not a kid)!

She is here!

my aunt is here. it was back and forth to the airport today, but all items have been recovered. good times will be had by all. i personally like to listen in on the convo. i am looking forward to the shopping trips. not to buy anything, but to look and take pictures. something different. counting down the days to see my love. VERY good times in that area. we talk daily and his voice soothes me.

Target had a great SALE today! Got lots of Christmas/Holiday items for 70% off. cannot have too many holiday items. got some plates and glass cups too. most things were $1.00 so that means, you guessed it you math folks out there, $0.30 each item. other than free, cannot be beat! got some coffee too, little packs for yep $0.30 and Nesquick chocolate drink mix too. will try them both out in the AM.

Blogs, Blogs, Everywhere!!!

Just finished up talking with my love! Gotta love Skype. It has helped us out A LOT! I can be funny at times and this time was one of them. We were talking about pie (as in food) and well, I am in search of minced pie for my aunt who will be coming in town and well I have not found it yet :( Next time I am telling her "look here, you are going to have to BYOP (Bring Your Own Pie) next time" (That was my funny moment, got my love laughing and calling me "wild" as he does).

Well, in between our video chat/date, b/c we are both work-a-holics, I have been (I will admit it) Blog Stalking (it is not illegal right??). Well as you may have guessed I am still up and stumbling across more and more blogs. It is safe to say that one good blog leads to another! :) Now to get some more followers!!!

The beautiful and Oh no :(

Today my family and I went to the beautiful Bellingrath Gardens and Home to see the "Merry Christmas in Lights". What an AMAZING job they did. The home was beautiful. I want a home like that. I am still trying to figure out why we could not take pictures of the items in the home? Hmmm. My dad aka (Mufasa) sure did have A LOT of questions, very unlike him, but it was good to see him interact.

The Oh No! is that I have a canker sore. It is SO painful. I would not wish it on my worst enemy (okay maybe I would as there are things that are much worse that I would not wish on them). Go away soon, like before 2013 please and thank you! Here are some pics of the Bellingrath Gardens, I will spare you a pic of the canker sore ;)

Saftey

Coming back to this post: I am not too sure how safe I feel anymore. I am not sure if I ever felt safe at all to think about it. With the recent shootings, it seems like now shootings are happening any and everywhere. Why is this happening? Why are we giving these shooters attention? It almost makes one think, is today the day my town will have its shooting 5 minutes of fame? As a nation we have to do something to get back to feeling safe again, I want to be able to walk out of my house knowing it will not be my last. I know the Lord is the only one that knows when our time will be, but it would be nice to feel safe again leaving my home to take care of daily task.
