We’re going on a short summer vacation. Emphasis on the ‘short’. We’re going to leave on a Sunday noon, and will be back on Tuesday 8ish. Have to work Wednesday at 3AM. We’re going to rent a van because I can’t quite trust the battery gauge in my Astro. It dips low, then lower and then up again and nobody can figure it out. It doesn’t really die, but I don’t want to chance it.
So, this vacation is costing us money-wise:
$ 205.07 - van rental at Budget
$380.00 – two nights at a cabin in the woods
$ 130.00 – gas for a 750 miles round trip
This does not include food and stuff and fun things. That will be determined later. Oh, and we’ve got to carry our own sheets!

I love to eat kc masterpiece potato chips while watching DirecTV. This snack is my favorite thing to munch on because it tastes great, convient, and really hit’s the spot when Im hungry.I am a huge barbeque fan and love cookout so It is a prefect snack for me. Im not normally a fan of chips, but this one is especially tasty.. I first came across this product when I was a little girl. I can home from school, starving and searching for a snack when I came across these delicious chips.. I grabbed it off the shelf and asked her about it. She told me it was this new potato chips with a strong barbeque taste to them initially I threw them back on the shelf and searched for something else to eat. Later that night I still saw them sitting up on the shelf and decided to give them a chance. I usually purchase kc masterpiece potato chips at my local grocery store, but Ive also noticed it is available at dollar stores, and convenience.

My husband came home with a nondescript looking mango ever! In fact, I was going to toss it in the trash. But lifelong training of not wasting had me peeling one of them. Boy, was I in for a gastronomic surprise. It was awesome. It’s sweet, and luscious and juicy. It was so good-looking, I want to live with it. I ate all three in 4 hours.
Have you tasted any extraordinary fruits this season?

I never thought I’d be one of those parents who allows electronic games in their house. It turned out that I am. We bought plenty of handheld games. It usually breaks after a few months. Then we graduated to those that connects to television play. It’s quite a lot of fun. Now, we’re thinking playstation 3. They have different game offerings, and there’s one game that plays on this machine that is not offered with the collection of game consoles we have. My children certainly are campaigning for this. I’ve never seen my living room, dining room and kitchen so clean and orderly. Maybe I should just hold it over their heads for a little while longer. It’s like getting a fresh cleaning lady here.
