So when did they do away with the top ost thing?

Boy things are changing fast around here.  When did it disappear?  I didn't like it anyway.

Good morning from the desert. It has been forever. Life is so crazy.

Good morning from AZ.  Hope you are all doing ok.  So what have I missed in the last week?  The last few days have brought a funeral.  Some of you know my best friend's hubby dropped dead at one of her catering gigs setting up the tables and such about a week ago.  He was 55 and they were only together about 5 years. The funeral was Sunday.  This is going to take her a while but she is one of the most dynamic and strong women I have ever known.  We have been friends for 32 years.  The Sex and the City girls have nothing on us.

I got all my granite and plumbing stuff picked out and ordered.  The remodel will start probably the end of next week or the following Monday.  It should only take 3 days or so.  I need to shop for mirrors, an oven, and a kitchen table.  Then I will be totally out of money!  Of course I need everything to be done by the 25th of August because that is the day of my wedding reception and I am having it here in my house.  These next 3 weeks are going to be crazy!

Today brings school schedule pick ups and a dental appt.  I can't wait for later in the day.  I have not even unpacked my suitcase from the CA trip and I have been home since Thurs night.

Ok.  This post is too long.  So what have I missed?

Wow, You guys are something else!

I am home safe and sound from my San Diego trip.  It was truly a slice of heaven.  I also came home to a wedding gift from some bloggers.  The group lil fairy surprise!  Thank you so much.  That as so nice of you.  I now begin to plan my wedding reception for Aug 25th.  Also will be remodeling my kitchen starting sometime next week or a week from Monday more likely.  New granite counters and sink and new toilets (4) and new sinks in the master bath with granite there too.  Yay!  Then this place will be ready to sell although I am not planning to sell for another 2 years.  Then I will find something I like a little better.  Anway, lots to do.  Life is good my friends.  Life is good.

Hey you guys, it is easy to get to Peggys biggest blog current page

All you have to do is click on peggy's name and then click on the blog link in her most recent post to serrebro.  that take you to the current comments.  i just put on a few and I am going to call her to let her know.  the reason it isn't at the top and has all the comments counted is because the post had to be started when the new blog format started.  so let's add tons of comments so it stays where it belongs.

Well it has been a slice of heaven, but it had to end :( Great things always do.

The fam is packing up right now and we have to leave this piece of heaven on earth called Coronado Beach, San Diego and back to Fort Stinkin Desert, AZ.  I have heard that it has rained every day since we were here (since Sunday) and that makes me a little sad because I love the rain since we don't get much in AZ.  Glad the sun was out since we have been here.  The weather has been perfect.  I am so glad the blogs go wherever we do so I have friends with my always.  I will post a few pics after I get home for those who care.  Well I am going to head back to the beach for a stroll and then probably head out int he next hour. 

They're baaaaaack. I knew they would be. So, how do you like them?

I had a feeling the new blog would be back when I logged on.  I think it is just fine.  Wouldn't help if I cried and stomped my feet now would it?  Just got in from the beach.  The fam was out there for 6 hours today.  Will be heading home to AZ and hubby tomorrow around 10 am or so.  Won't likely be able to say hey till Friday.  Wanted to say hey right now so hey!!

When did the blogs change?

I was on this morning and it was still the same?  Go on vacay for a day or so and everything is diff.  Still on vacay btw.  

Sunday night at the beach!! It is beautiful and chilly! Gonna be in the 60's tonight.

Eat you heart out Tina.  i will bring some cool air home for you in Fort Stinkin Desert!  Hey bloggers.  I am here at The Del.  It is wonderful.  Going to go to the beach for Smores shortly.  Wanted to stop in and say hi, so hi!  

Morning all. I am packed and it is time to wake the family!

Hi Blogland.  Well I am about to wake everyone up and we should hit the road in about an hour.  4 relaxing days in San Diego on Coronado Island.  Yesterday was a really tough one though.  One of my dearest friends of over 30 years lost her husband suddenly.  He just keeled over and died of a heart attack.  He was 54.  She was married 3 years and he was the love of her life.  It is so sad.  We just went out to lunch last week and she is so thrilled for my hubby and me (celebrated 2 weeks last night) and couldn't wait for the 4 of us to go out and celebrate our happy (finally) lives.  I feel awful about leaving her but she assured me that she will be ok this week.  Two other friends will fly out today so she won't be alone.  She said she will need me more when they all leave.  I will be back Thursday.  So time to wake the kids and have a fun filled week which I will do.  Life is so weird.  Make every day count my friends.

OMG. Make every day count my blog friends. I can't believe what happened today. Gymmomj.

One of my best friends who lives close by whom I know for over 30 years had a devastating loss today.  She has a new catering biz that has been picking up steam this year.  Well tonight, right now, is her biggest catering gig to date, and when she was setting it up this morning her husband of only 3 years had a massive heart attack and died on the spot.  And she is there having to be happy caterer for this big ass party.  I am leaving with my girls and mom for vacay in San Diego first thing tomorrow and want to be there for her.  She won't let me cancel my trip and says she will need me when everyone else is gone.  I am devastated.  I will miss Dan.

Now for another thank you and only you, my blog buddies can help me solve a mystery! PLEASE HELP!

I received a gift in the mail yesterday.  It is a small collage that is postcard size that says I believe in love.  It is beautiful and I am sure a blogger sent it to me for a congrats for my marriage, exactly 2 weeks ago today.  The thing is she put her given name in the return address on the envelope, and on the back of the collage, but not her ebay id and I don't know who it is, lol.  So, Nancy Gonzalez, come out come out where ever you are and claim your artwork and your kudos.  Many thanks to your thoughfulness!!!  You rock.  

Elaborique is the best and totally brilliant!

Thank you so much for helping me with my banner issue.  You are the best!!

This is a mystery that the Blog ghost has nothing to do with. Hope one of you can help!

I had Mandy kindly add some cool stuff to my blog banner but the Jodi's Rockin' Blog part got smaller.  She so mnicely fixed it the other day but when I loaded the HTML my banner and stars disappeared completely on my Mac computer which is what I use.  I went ahead and checked my daughter's PC laptop and there is my banner perfectly the way I wanted it?  What the heck????  Anyone know why this would happen?

Hey I just got a call from Ebay. Gymmomj.

They asked me if I knew about the fvf sale and I said I did.  We talked for about 2 minutes and then they asked if there was anything else they could do for me.  I then said. FIX THE BLOGS.  PLEASE FIX THE BLOGS.  I told her what was wrong and she said she would pass it on.  SURE SURE.  Anyway, I thought that was funny.  Guess I must be bored.

Good morning Blogland. Hard to see who is here with the posts playing now you see me, now you don't. Come say hi to gymmom!

I can't get over Darleen1956 being on live chat yesterday and them saying the blogs are working just fine.  That had me laught out loud.  Have a busy day ahead but not as bad as yesterday.  Gotta bring my Honda Pilot in for its 45K service in about an hour.  There goes 300 bux, ouch.  Don't you hate spending money like this on a car?  Then I have to take my daughter to proof her senior yearbook pic (how can my little Beauty and the Beast "Belle" be a senior in 3 short weeks) that she took last week, and then go to the orthodontist straight from there to get a new retainer for her becuase she had a tooth kinda of move out of alignment.  She isn't thrilled with that since her braces have been off almost 2 years.  But she is a model and needs her smile to be perfection. So that's my story for the day and I am sticking to it!  Thanks for dropping in my friends.  What's your day look like?

These non paying bidders are just killing me. The biz is bad enough right now and it seems like the npb's are crawling out of the woodwork.

Don't know why but my npb's are higher than usual.  It is looking like I have one now by a 0 newbie (of course) who used the buy it now for 2 items for a 140.00 total.  My listing fees are high on one of the items.  I just don't understand the mentality of buying them with a buy it now and then not paying for it.  This is my worst summer here on ebay.  There is no reason for it.  I am thinkiing it might be time to get out.  The fees are killing me.  I am barely making any money.  Waaaaahhh.  Get the waaaambulance.  Thanks for letting me whine and vent.  You guys understand my frustration.  Waaaaaaaaaah.

Hey BJ!! I got my gift! Thank you. My very first wedding gift. Yay!

Thanks for the carving set Beej!!  That was so nice of you.  Now, if I only knew how to cook!!! :p

Mandy help. My banner disappeared. Gymmomj needs your help.

HELP HELP HELP.

We finally had our first storm last night. Wow. It was a beaut too!! Trees down and tons and tons of lightning. Busy day ahead, what else is new????

Good morning Blogland.  I thoroughly enjoyed the "monsoon" weather here last night in AZ.  First there was a massive dust storm and then it poured for probably 2 hours.  I just loved it.  My dogs weren't too keen on it though.  It will prob happen again tonight.  It is so humid out there.

Have a busy day ahead.  Mundane crap like laundry and the grocery store.  I do have something really exciting business wise in the works but I can't tell you what it is yet.  If this happens, let's just say I will finally be changing my ebay id, store name, and my store inventory will completely change.   I will keep you up to date on that front.  Don't want to jinx it.

Inbetween getting this wedding party going for next month (got my invites ordered and they will arrive Friday) I am leaving to go to San Diego on Sunday for 5 days.  I will enjoy it but there is so much going on here for the next month I hope I can clear my mind while I am there.  Did I mention I am also remodeling all my bathrooms and kitchen and have to be done before Aug 25th? I picked out the granite for the counters yesterday.  It is gorgeous.

ANYWAY, have a great day.  What is on your plate for the day?

So how were your weekend sales? Good morning from the desert.

Mine were pretty slim.  I have 10 to ship today.  I sure hope it picks up before Christmas!!!  Oh yeah, good morning!  Got my wedding receiption invites ordered today and will receive them Friday.  That gives me Friday afternoon and envening and Sat to get them addressed and in the mail.  I leave for Coronado Island in San Diego Sunday morning with my mom and girls for 4 days in the sand and surf.  Planned this before the surprise elopement with hubby last week and even though I am glad we are going, I sure hate spending the money on it with the wedding receiption coming up real fast. 
Got a crazy busy day ahead but wanted to say hi.  So, hi!
