Getting Ready for Ike!

Okay, so here we are, getting ready for Hurricane Ike! TD has to work and his job will not allow him to evacuate. Therefore, I did not want to evacuate without him. We will either stay here at the house or we will go to TD's work place to hunker down. According to the current model, the path of Ike is coming straight for us. I am not so much worried about the water as I am the wind. As long as we are together with Bita and Mineau, then I am happy. We will see what happens!

computer trouble

Sorry for not writing any new posts for the past week. My internet has been out and Comcast, being the great monopoly that it is, has said that a technician cannot come out until next Thursday. Well, my internet went out last Saturday. This happened two months ago, as well. Needless to say, I am not impressed at all with Comcast. Additionally, our cable keeps going out. In fact, the cable kept going out last night when we were watching Keith Urban perform on the NFL Kickoff show! The nerve of Comcast! It better not go out tomorrow when the BUCS play! How about you? Are you happy with your internet and cable service?

Go Gators!

Well, the Florida Gators are at it again! Winning! The game tonight against Miami was a little too close for my taste at the beginning. The Gators came through big time, though! And so did the USF Bulls! Now I am happy. I will be thrilled tomorrow when the Bucs beat the Saints! Who is your favorite college team?

Learning Ebay from the Expert

This is my brother Ricky. He is a Power Seller on ebay and he is teaching me so much! I went to his house during my last visit home to Florida and I learned a gazillion things! Thanks, Ricky! By the way, if you ever get a chance, visit his store on ebay: All for Tito!

Getting Ready for Guests... and Maybe Evacuation!

Okay, so here we are on Saturday afternoon. My dear Mother-in-Law, Mama Roy, Aunt Alice, and one of Mom's teaching coworkers are all on their way to our house from Lousiana. They are also bringing Minnie (Maltese) and Maggie (Schnauzer) with them. It will be a nice slumber party! Then tomorrow or the next day we might all have to leave our house here in East Texas due to Hurricane Gustav. Well, I am a Florida Girl so I know about hurricanes. Need to get supplies... water(first and foremost), then the other essentials: rum, pineapple juice, oh... what else do we make Hurricanes with? Need to call my brother Petie and ask! Have you ever had to evacuate your home?

Crazy about Board Games!

Okay... I admit it... I absolutely L-O-V-E board games! You name it... Scrabble, Balderdash, Scattergories, Pictionary, Trivial Pursuit, etc... I also love to play some card games such as Phase Ten! And I cannot forget how much fun it was to play Bunko with my Bunko group when I was a teacher. Fun, Fun, Fun! I really think that staying at home, getting some snacks and playing board games is good clean frugal fun! You can have Game Night with the family or have company over. How about you? Do you like games? Which ones? Come on over... I'll get the snacks ready! =)
