Oh I am so bad about collecting things. If I had the all the money I have spent over the years on collectible things I would be a rich woman. Lately I have controlled my urge to spend money on these things that why I was so excited when I received a package from UPS containing a collectable snowman figurine to review.
It is a Thomas Kincaid Christmas collectible from Collectibles Today. What an awesome surprise. First I was surprised at the size, it is actually pretty decent. And then, of course it has a little snow covered village which Thomas Kincaid is famous for. However the best part was the train. It is so tiny but it travels on a track all around the base of the crystal snowman. It is so cool. I did a little video so you could actually see it.
This review is a result of a feedback campaign by Collectibles Today. I was asked to give an honest opinion about the product I received. Good reviews are not incentivized and poor reviews will not be censored for the opinion of the product.
Having Lupus really sucks. I once read some book titile called somthing like "But you Don't Look Sick." That's the curse of this disease. I look like a healthy person and no one can see the pain that flares up in my joints, literally crippling me temporarily. No one can see that I have double vision and can't focus on anything.
This becomes a huge problem sometimes. The last time I went to the doctor...my doctor was on vacation and there was some substitute there. I told I was coming in because I had been in a flair and I was out of pain meds. His response? I think you need to go into drug rehab! Now, not only can no one see my pain but he thinks I'm a drug addict! I give up!. Oh yeah as I was leaving empty handed he suggested I check into government resources.
I was talking to my sister last night and she was very upset about her son. She said he is doing terrible in one of his classes. I told her to help him but she said she really can't because she doesn't understand it.
What is it? Well, its math of course. She was hoping that I would be able to give hims some math help but there is no way. I almost didn't graduate from college because of a math class. I suggested that she look for some online math tutoring. It's my thought that an online math tutor would be cheaper than a real person doing the tutoring.
She is going to try. I hope she finds a service she can afford because I know it really has her stressed out!
I finally decided that I am going to frame each and every piece of my artwork. I know this is going to mean I need more storage but this way it will be easy to sign up for and go art shows. I found a great deal on some 12 x 16 frames by the case lot.
I got my first shipment today and I was so excited to get started but I could not get the shipping container open. I tried to use my box cutter but I broke it. I don't want to break one of my knives. I decided I better wait till my husband comes home and let him break into it
Well, I think I've shared with you that I have Lupus and it finally became too much for me to handle working. Sometimes when it flares up, I can barely walk around and if I sit down, I can't get back up without help. It sucks. I went ahead and applied for disability. It takes so long, which I don't really mind. The bad thing is that you have to figure on doing a disability appeal . I hate that. Even if the doctors say you can't work, I've heard that they turn you down anyway and make you appeal. It sure doesn't seem fair to me.
I was so ready for the weekend and was so disappointed in how it turned out. Now, I don't really have exciting weekends all the time, in fact, rarely. Somehow though this one seemed worse than most.
It started when we were late for the big drawing at the casino...that really ticked me off, not that we would have won or anything. So then we decided we go get a bite to eat. The food took forever at this restaurant and then it tasted like crap. I had a coupon in my purse for $10 off two entrees, so I gave it to the waitress only to find out it had expired
Okay, I told you about my husband's list of chores for us to do this weekend. Well I was thinking about it this afternoon and decided that instead of resisting, I am going to embrass it with enthusiasm. Why, you may be asking?
Well, I think it will throw him off guard and I am going to be so into getting organized that I need to take it all the way. I am going to off handedly bring up getting new tv stands for our bedrooms. The old ones are too big and in the way. I know we don't really need them but I think it would look nice and if I do this right, I think he'll go for it.
You know I find myself complaining about being bored, but when faced with something to do, I complain about that as well. Today, when we go up, my husband had prepared a list of things for us to do....Oh man, that did not start my day well.
I read over his list and hated everything on it. My assignment is to clean out the file drawers and shred unneeded things! This doesn sound bad but if you saw how big and how many file drawers I have, you'd understand. His first order of business is to do the garage flooring. I'm not sure what that means, but I guess I'll be seeing.
I expected to have some side effects when the doctor decided to do a low dose chemo treatment for my Lupus. I was not surprised when I got so sick and felt so tired. I also was not surprised when some of hair started falling out. What I wasn't prepared for was how it has made my skin look.
I look in the mirror and I hardly recognize myself. My skin looks dry and pale and the worst part is how my eyes look. They seem sunken n and wrinkly around the sides. Yesterday, my mom sent a package to cheer me up. What was in it? Well it was a box full of the best eye creams available. She must have spent a fortune but it was so sweet of her. I can't wait to start trying them
Man, I can't believe it is almost Christmas. October is just about over meaning there is what...nine weeks till Christmas. This year is going to be a little skimpy since I am unemployed but I am going to try to still make it nice.
My sons were over for dinner last weekend and I asked them what they wanted. Neither were very helpful. By the time we were done talking my oldest son said he'd like some artwork for his walls and my other son said he wanted some Davidoff cigars . I'm not sure what they are or why they are special but I guess I will look online
LOL...I am so technologically challenged! I'm trying to get some tools on here to get my rating and stuff up. Technorati needs you to claim your blog and so they say do a blank post with just the code so they can find you....crap if i know, but I'll keep you confused S.L.
