Relive?

It seems to me that everything from the 1980's is all the rage again. Have you noticed that? Everything from clothing to movies are back. Seriously they are remaking movies from the '80s. Can't they come up with new ideas? Pretty soon there will be a whole new generation dancing to Footloose and making comments in a feminine voice about herpes simplex 60. I already lived the '80s once. I don't want to live them again.

Hard to Find

The other day I was looking for someone's address. This is someone I know but I didn't want to give them a heads up that I was going to send them something. So I was trying to find the address through other means. It wasn't in the phone book. I tried looking online and couldn't find it there either. You would think that since folks can put together a web directory list of thousands upon thousands of websites it would be easy to find a street address online. Let me tell you it is not! I never did find that address either.

Clear Skin

It has taken me a lot of years to be nearly acnefree. I was never one to have huge breakouts. However, I almost always had a pimple somewhere on my face. Finally, now that I am in my middle years, I am nearly always breakout free. I guess the chemistry of my skin has changed enough to not foster pimples. I appreciate having clear skin! I really thought I would never have skin that I loved. I do now and it makes me happy. :)

Fixing

Living in a really old house is enough to make you need antiaging products! It seems like there is always something needing fixed in these old houses. Right now we are dealing with a leak in our upstairs bathroom. I am not one who likes to just let repairs go. I want to get them fixed as quickly as possible so I can quit worrying about them. I will probably call my neighbor today to see if he can come take a look. He is a contractor and I trust him. I know that Tom could probably fix the problem but it would take a lot longer.

Weather

Despite our January thaw and the milder start to February, it looks like we will be back to frozen pond fountains and water dishes. I read a few weeks ago that February's weather is supposed to be more like December. By the time we hit February, everyone is ready for winter to be done and spring to hurry up. I don't suppose an unusually cold and wet February is going to help anyone's mood. I am thankful that February is a short month and we can get on to March soon!

Some Freedom

Despite having a newly licensed driver, I have not felt the need to research life insurance quotes! He is actually a really good driver and I feel comfortable with him driving himself and his sisters. I am enjoying the little bit of freedom it has afforded me. Even though we are still sharing a vehicle, he is able to get himself to and from school and practice several days a week. Soon, he will have his own vehicle to drive and I won't have to worry about being his chauffeur. It will be a really good thing!
