Wow Netflix loses 1 million customers!

Well for me, I am glad that they changed it because I wasn't getting or watching the dvd's that much anyway. I would have one on my list, get it and watch it and then watch the movies online and forget that I had the darn DVD of the other movie and end up keeping it for a few weeks or so and that was just a waste of time and money.   I can't believe that they lost a million customers though! Geez that is really something. I guess with all of the competition out there that is going on these days its hard but I didn't expect them to lose that many because of the price changes. I enjoy it the way that it is now and between Netflix and then renting the top movies at the redbox and watching movies on graboid which is one of the best things because you just download them once and then thats it and you have them forever if you want. I pay $5 a month and I have quite a collection of some of my favorite movies.   Netflix I think is still a good deal because I still go o...

101 year old woman gets evicted!!

http://news.yahoo.com/101-old-detroit-woman-evicted-foreclosure-191726499.html This is just unbelievable!!! And the son is too blame! The house was fully paid off, she was living there 58 years and then HER son decides to talk her into signing the house into a reverse mortgage and took $32,000 that the son supposively said that he fixed the roof and 2 doors for $14,000 and the guy that interviewed him said well where is all the money and he said well its gone now that was back in 2003!!! What the heck??? Really?? And he was getting the eviction notices for a YEAR and hiding them and throwing them away so she wouldn't know and the lady was put out on the street corner and her medicines thrown in the dumpster and her sitting in her wheelchair ALL day long from 9am-9pm!!!!!!!!!!!! Really this is what America is doing to our elderly?? This is what a 65 year old freaking man does to his OWN MOTHER???????? He was supposed to be paying on it and doesn't!! What a complete jerk!!!

Marriage - is divorce even an option??

Well from what I just read that Will Smith said about it..maybe its not even an option for some...My opinion of it is this, why do you stay married to someone that doesn't make you happy?? Because there are kids involved? Well isn't that a good enough reason to separate or divorce because you don't want your kids seeing you not happy? Or maybe its better just to stay together and go through life all together and act like your a happy family when only you and your spouse and your children I'm sure know the truth.      Its hard in today's society especially when the economy is like it is and things are going up up up in prices like a gallon of milk or even a loaf of bread, the simplest things that we need and have to buy are going up in prices yet this country has how many millions of unemployed people in it right now?? And more to come! So maybe its better to stay together as a family and not have to pay 2 rents or 2 electric bills and just deal with each othe...

Updating blog getting back on track

Good morning everyone, I have been MIA for a little while, well at least on here. I haven't been updating like I use too so I am going to get back on track and start updating daily or at least every other day. I want to get back into my blogging, since after all I am the Queen of Random :) Have a great day everyone and thank you for those that follow me.

Are kids responsible enough for netbooks in high school?

So I don't know but I am having doubts about this whole netbook thing. My kids are all teens, well youngest will be in a month and a half. And they are good kids, no trouble out of them or anything like that but they aren't all that great with responsibility of things sometimes. They have each misplaced there cells at one point, yes I know we have all done that but the point is that the schools are giving each high schooler (my son being a Freshman) a netbook and they are too take care of it and it is their's for the remainder of the time they are in school!! So since he is a Freshman, he will have it this year when they give it to him next week and have it for 4 years of high school...is that asking a little much out of them to keep up with a netbook for 4 years and keep it with them acting like it was a million dollars or something I mean come on really? And they are going to be giving the middle schoolers there's next year. So that will mean that the 7th and 8th ...

Kids finally start school Monday!! YAY!

So this coming Monday my kids finally get to start school. I think that its totally ridiculous and just insane how behind and unorganized that they are with the schools here now.   They misplaced my son's paper so they said..but they didn't!! They just made us go up there and freaking sit there in the fancy fancy FANCY office that is good enough to have a huge flat screen TV on the wall but too good to have the old fashioned clocks on the walls!!! Yep not a clock on the wall in site! Instead they had a black thing scrolling the time, I didn't even see that but my son did. PATHETIC!!!!! And not only did the receptionist have a too much of a fancy freaking desk for a little counselor's office but she not only had a regular desktop PC with a flat screen big monitor but also a laptop!! Good grief!!!!! Then we go in the counselor's office and her's is the same way huge room, big shelves, circular desk, built in filing cabinets and a flat screen for her desktop...

Did you know?

Did you know that the month of July and August both have 31 days? I swear I always forget that and think that its weird that both of those months right after the other have 31 days...

Last weekend in July

Last weekend in July, wow! This year is flying by...literally!   Its been a busy and chaotic month for me and my family. At the beginning of July, Leon started college and the following week I started my training. I have taken 3 assessments for my training so far and then next week I have 4 days of class left for the billing cycle and then I start taking calls!!! Nervous about it but I'm sure I will catch on after the first few calls..its nerve wrecking not knowing what they are calling in for. At least with some of the others I know what to expect, placing orders, checking status etc Then after a week I think that the training for the tech part starts on the 11th or so and that lasts a couple of weeks and then done. Then I will do the week of nesting for the tech and then I will take the Final test and start work with no more training! YAY!   My step daughter, who is like a daughter to me, got married this past week!! And not only that but they got a house too after ...

Last week of July!

Can you believe that the last week of July is already here? I can't!! I am glad though in a way. I am sick of this month being nothing but 100+ temps outside...so ready for some FALL weather!   The kids are starting school in a few weeks, the summer went by way too fast I think. I have my middle son that will be starting high school which is unbelievable!! They built a million dollar new high school here and they are doing the whole "laptop" thing for all the high schoolers this year! So that should be interesting and not too mention that they aren't doing the classrooms, they are doing it to where its just partitioned walls!! Crazy if you ask me! But what can you really do?!   My daughter will be in 8th and my youngest in 6th. They are growing up way too fast! So I figure for Christmas the 3 of them will be getting cell phones since that is what they have each been asking for and that would be a good thing to get them and then if they show out or get mouthy ...

Friday evening

Leon actually got off of his butt and took his daughter to see the Judy Moody movie, never can remember the full name of it anyway so he took her and Jared and his friend went to see the last Harry Potter and the other 2 kids are here with me in a bad mood!! Chris is watching TV in his room keeping his distance and Sean is on the laptop until Leon gets home ...I am in a horrible mood!! Haven't felt good all day and now I really don't feel good and I'm drinking my strawberry daiquiri while on dinner break from training..shame on me! Whatever!

In training class - changed the assessment

ugh..so I'm in training an hour and a half now...she decided to switch to the mid of class instead of the beginning now b/c she needed to go over one more thing..which is taking forever to go over..ugh!!!! I am a nervous wreck and want to freaking take this and get it done and over with!!! I have other things to do tonight...like make a nice and cold strawberry daiquiri!

Training starts in half an hour!! YIKES!

So the day is finally here!! I get to start my ATT training, I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for it and now that its finally here, my stomach is in knots! I am a nervous wreck about it! Its 6 hours a night, Mon-Fri and that doesn't include the "pre-work" that needs to be done daily of at least 1-2 hours!!! I can do it, its not that .. Its just damn there is a ton to learn in such a short amount of time, but I did choose the Super Fast class for a reason..I don't want to be taking classes for 2 months! So here I go...wish me luck!!!

Starting tomorrow its going to be chaos from here on out!

So in about 21 hours give or take a little I will be starting my training for ATT that I swear has seemed to take forever and a day to get here! I will be working part time tomorrow with my real estate job and then at 4 training starts until 10 pm...wow 6 hours of intense training..I know that I can do it, I am a little bit anxious about it all but I know that I will do great and it will definitely pay off in the long run and I am glad that I went ahead and did the fast paced course with the 6 hours a day Mon-Fri instead of the slower paced with only 4 hours a day Mon-Fri that would of last a lot longer and I want to get to working ASAP.   So in the midst of me working part time, training in the evening, helping Leon with his college and then next month preparing for the kids to start school and getting all there things together that they need/want and not to mention looking for a bigger better place..wow I am going to have my hands Full to say the least! I want to get us a ...

Power keeps blinking!

My goodness it was 104 here just a little while ago and now cooled off Yes being very sarcastic to a cool 100 degrees!!! And this is about the 3-4th time today that the power has blinked off b/c I am sure that everyone and there mother's are using the air conditioners and air to try to keep somewhat cool! I can't wait to move into a central air house..window ac's suck..never again!!!!!!

My training log in party tomorrow!!

I can't believe that its July already and that my log in party for my training for ATT that starts next week is tomorrow!! I have been waiting forever it seems like to start this class and now the time has come that tomorrow were having our log in party to make sure that we can get logged into everything which I have and then some. I like being ahead of the game if at all possible.   Can't wait to start class Monday evening, its going to be challenging sitting here from 4-10pm training but I know that I can handle it..its just going to take a lot of patience with the kids learning how to not come in here and ask me something every few minutes! Leon has been working days so he better get use to being here in the evenings and dealing with them because I won't be able too and he will have to be doing his college too. At least the kids are teens and not little kids so they can take care of themselves for the most part and don't need so much supervision from us as the...

Hubby going to college!!

So hubby is going to college online to get his degree in Business. I think that its a good idea to get a degree in business since business isn't going anywhere. I am learning things too by helping him with how to turn in work etc since I have taken online courses before and know how to do things and am use to turning in things and going about it the way that they do, ours wasn't as easy as his is set up but it was the same steps and such..anyway I like helping him so thats a good thing. GO TIFFIN UNIVERSITY DRAGONS :)

Casey Anthony being released on the 13th of July

I don't know about all of your feelings but mine on this subject is that she doesn't deserve to get out for any reason. She's a liar and she's covering something up. She needs to stay behind bars but as the news has been saying, Judge Perry did what he could and gave her the max amount of time for each of the 4 little counts of lying to the police officer which was a year each I believe and she's served nearly 3 years or so and then for good behavior so they are letting her out next week on the 13th. I think its a shame. My question is, where will she go?? Will her parents just let her back into there house with open arms after all the trouble that the trial has caused both of them? the way that she accused her dad and brother of the molestation and the way that her mom lied for her and committed purgery just to say that it was her at home doing the searches when she was indeed at work. I wouldn't let her back into my house with open arms! But thats just me a...

LOL...my son and hubby being silly

So were sitting here talking about naming one of our orange kitties, we had named her Garfield when she was a baby not knowing that she was a she and not a he. So now that she's older and we realize that she's a girl hubby said hmm wonder what Garfield's girlfriends name is..so he sits there and looks it up on the net and turns around and says its Pene-lope (yep Pena lope) LMAO!!!! I busted out laughing and said how do you spell it? He said Penelope...I said Penelope not Pena lope!!!! And then my oldest son sitting on the bed said "Isn't that a fruit?"  and again I start laughing and I said son you mean Cantelope!! LMAO!!! Uh huh after the day that I've had I needed a good laugh and there it was!

So the verdict is in on the Casey Anthony case - do you agree with it??

I have heard about the case, I have watched some of the trial, not all but about half or so. Just a few things that I have heard set off alarms with me and said guilty but I guess if the jury comes back with 3 counts of NOT GUILTY for killing her daughter and 4 counts of guilty for the charges of falsifying info to the police then they heard/saw more then I did in the court room!!!   I don't agree with it. I think that she's guilty and I think that with her going out partying and not saying anything about her own 2 year old daughter missing for 30 days says it all....Guilty!! But apparently the jury didn't feel the same way...unanimously! I guess that her trunk smelling of decomposing smells of a dead body in it for the longest time didn't set off any alarms or questions in there mind and I guess that getting a tattoo on her shoulder saying the phrase in whatever language it was that means beautiful life didn't set off any alarms in there minds either...wow, ...

Closing Arguments - Casey Anthony trial (thoughts)

All I can say about this case is that the way that she went partying 30-31 days while her daughter was "missing" tells me that she was trying to get her mind off of what she had done...that was completely wrong!! And then to get the tatoo that says whatever the words are that means Beautiful Life ... How the heck do you see it as a beautiful life when your daughter is missing and you tell no one but go out partying and playing around is more important then knowing where your daughter is? And then when it finally comes out that she's missing you don't call the cops, your mother does! And then when it all comes down on you, you decide to blame everyone else but yourself for everything and when you find yourself in a very very deep hole you decide to bring up the thing of sexual abuse? OMG Really you think that is going to get you out of this mess?? I don't believe that happened or else I think that it would of been brought up and something done about it before a...
