Pendant Lighting Fixtures

Posted under Piggy Bank

I was looking at pendant lighting fixtures the other day. You know me, always looking at off the wall things. Forever dreaming of the house I want.

There were some that I really liked, but most seemed to have too much of a modern look to them for my tastes. I like the homey, comfortable stuff…Easy clean is always a plus too. I’ve never really been into the sleek, shiny type stuff. I guess I’m too much of a country girl for that.

Gold Investing

Posted under Piggy Bank

I don’t know what the market is now, but it used to be that gold investing was a very smart move.

I’ve really never done much research on investing. I’ve never had the interest in it, as it seems to be a numbers game, and numbers have never been my strong suit. Dad and my sister have always been the math whizzes in my family. I’m okay at simple stuff, but beyond that, I’m lost.

Cyber Monday

Posted under Piggy Bank

Kind of an odd subject to be talking about in January, but I guess people are already looking forward to the next Black Friday, and Cyber Monday sales. Me, I’m not that big of a shopping fan to want to even brave the crowds on big sale days.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t like shopping, I just don’t like crowds of people, plus I’ve never had a lot of money to do much shopping.

Snow

Posted under Family News

Well we had our first snowfall of the year. We had a few flurries in December but it never amounted to anything. Over the last couple of days I’d say we got about 4 inches, which isn’t a lot, but that’s okay with me. School has been closed for the last two days, which hasn’t hurt my feelings at all. I don’t like driving in bad weather, and rarely do.

The girls had a great time playing in the snow yesterday. Even Alex played outside with them. After they came in we watched a movie, and then they were off to the library for awhile. I had nice warm chili waiting for them when they got home.

So we had a nice, quiet, relaxing day yesterday, and I expect today to be much the same. Although they won’t be outside as much today, because Des developed a cough last night.

Well I have some work entries to do so I better get my fingers moving.
