Well, Sunday I went to a Christening for my niece! What a cutie she is! My gift to cover the cost of three meals and drinks was $150 dollars! It was great seeing the whole family and it really is nice, especially on happy occasions! Thank God I don't have an affair every weekend!
I fixed two lamps in the house. I then bought and installed a new seat on the Kohler Low Boy. We had issues though! First the seat from Kohler was thin plastic and did not fit. It was the correct replacement model. We ended up ordering a cheaper wooden seat that has plastic sprayed on it that fit perfectly. The color was a spot on match too!
The parts to hold the seat on were awful so I installed the seat using a combination of old and new parts. I think someone must stay up nights for these companies figuring out ways to make things less simple to use! Go figure!
I made a payment today on the wifes last CC and I should be down below 4000 dollars. I cannot wait until my last payment is made and I can thumb my nose at the CC companies and start seriously saving bucks!
I just got a Kill a Watt device that was mentioned around the blogs here. Great device. I am starting to figure out how much things cost to run! I have explained to everyone in the house that items with motors and heating elements burn up scads of kilowatt hours! Save! Save! Save! My wife thinks I am nuts though!
Yes! I have finished my bag of Tootsie Pops and am suffering from severe sugar withdrawal! AArrrrrggghhhhhh!!!!!
I am getting so close to freedom from indebtedness! I can almost taste it!
The wife has not yet gotten her leather coat but she has her new toaster oven! I am still waiting til she uses it before I touch it. It was her request, not my idea, folks to get a toaster oven!
The weather was 70 degrees today! It is pretty unnerving for it to be that warm this late in the year. I am not complaining. I have all my upstairs windows open and the heat off as we speak. It is in the low 60s here and it is heaven to me!
The wife and I are getting along fairly well and we have had some nice long talks. That is a good thing! I really do love that woman. You know, you just don't love someone as well as when you have been with them over time. You learn to know their habits, foibles, and little cute peculiarities!
Thinking back it was very hormonal at first. Love grows and takes deep roots over time. I could not ever imagine being with anyone else, ever! I have been through a great deal but I would gladly do it all over again! That is odd when you think about it. I love her that much!
Ah, enough sappy stuff!
After the the new year starts I hope to be out of denbt and will take stock of my fibnancial situation! I'll let you all in on it as you have so graciously helped my and listened to my tales of woe!
Sorry about the run on babble! Hope to respond to some of your blogs over the weekend. See ya soon gang!

As a woman in dating mode, i must say my radar is always up when meeting someone new; if they are too complementary and eager for romance, i worry they're just interested in sex. Sigh. I'm in my 40s, yet some things never seem to change. It's always a tricky road to navigate. The best love, as you said, is one that can survive the years.
On toaster ovens, i think they're great, and of course much more economical than heating up the big oven. I use my toaster all the time. It's even great for broiling a salmon filet, toasting walnuts for my salad, i've even roasted veggies in it.

As for guys looking for just sex, yep, there are plenty of them. There are nice guys out there and I hope you meet the right one! My sisters friend just got married at 44 for the first time and she is extremely happy. The had a charming little wedding!
The toaster oven is a necessity in my book. My wife says she asked for it for her birthday because I never would have spent the money to replace the functional one we already had! I still don't get it but if she wants a toaster overn the.............well..........
I love salmon cooked with a little paprika and dill in the toaster oven! I have never toasted walnuts. I'll have to try that!
