Lifes Like That

I just placed a call to the hospital to see how my husband’s mother is doing today and they said she is actually doing pretty good.  It’s on days like today that I like to take the kids in to see her.  If she’s having a good day then I like for the kids to see her like this.  Also because my son is so active, I really don’t like taking him around her if she is having a bad day.  He is only 7 and doesn’t realize that by him jumping around could be tiring her out.  He tries his best, but he’s only a kid.  The kids are quite excited to be going to see her and both of them are right now making her more get well cards.  Her bulletin board at the hospital is full with their homemade cards, and tonight we will had two more to the pile.

Today is not Monday which is usually my  running around day, but I need to go out again.  So I’ve decided to stop off at the dollar store to stock up on all my crafting supplies that I need.  I’ll need to purchase some more scrapbooking supplies (I’m currently doing three scrapbooks at once), some more thread and while I’m there I’ll pick up a few more books (since they are only $2.00 a book).  This will be my monthly trip that I usually make to the dollar store for all my crafting supplies.  Much to my husband’s delight, I have used a lot of my craft material this summer, so he won’t mind if I go in to the store to replenish my stock.

When most people consider going on vacation, a lot of the times they think about faraway places that are warm, sunny and exotic. But, I have been thinking that if I was ever to be able to take a vacation very far away from home, I may like to visit Iceland. They have some great Iceland Hotels available that have all the creature comforts of home. This type of vacation, seems like it may be a very cold adventure, but with some things that I’ve been reading about lately, I have got to thinking that this may actually be a very nice vacation spot.

It would amaze most people of all the activities and attractions that Iceland has to offer. And with Reykjavik hotels and South Iceland Hotels to choose to book for your accommodations, you will be guaranteed that any hotel you choose will make you feel quite comfortable and right at home. With so may activities to choose from, having accommodations close to all the sites becomes extremely important. While your vacationing you will want to experience all that Iceland has to offer. By having your accommodations close at hand, you will be spend less time traveling to different locations and have more time available for the fun stuff.

Our annual exhibition is in town this week.  Normally we don’t take the kids to this as in past years we have found it to be a little frustrating and a money grab.  But my husband and I have decided that we will take the kids to it this year as they have had so much sadness this past year that we think they deserve a little fun.  I think it will be quite enjoyable for them as they will get to go on some amusement rides and play some games.  Yes, I still do think that attractions like this are a big money pit, but…the kids have been so good and they really do deserve a little bit of fun.  I’m a little nervous about letting my son go on some of the rides as he can be a bit of a nut, but with his father and I watching him, I think he may make out OK.

I just love my digital camera, but I think it’s time for a new digital camera. I have had mine for about three years now, so it is seriously out of date. With technology advancing so quickly these days, there are new features and designs on digital cameras coming out every day.

The one I currently own is really good enough for what I use it for, but I would love to get a more advanced one to try to get into the photography hobby a little more. One of my friends has a very advanced one with a tripod and all the accessories and this is the kind that I wouldn’t mind having. I realize they are a little more complicated then what I’m used to, but I would be willing to learn how to operate one of these kinds of digital cameras if it means that the pictures that I do take turn out a little clearer and nicer. So, I’ve been looking at some different digital cameras and very soon I will make up my mind and make my purchase.

Ever since I started blogging and have gotten to meet different bloggers, I have discovered a lot of great blogs out there and have meet some really awesome bloggers. One blog owner that I have met and have come to admire is Charlotte over at Word Strumpet. She is a freelance writer and I am just amazed at how professional her writing style is. So it was a very nice surprise this morning when I recieved a message from her that she has given ME a Thoughtful Blogger award. I work really hard on all my blogs and try to help other bloggers out any way I can, so I was really nice to see that someone out there in the blogging world appreciated all my efforts. Go check out my award at Charlotte’s blog and read all the nice things she has written about me. LOL
