It still smells yummy

I love candles, my favorite thing is to watch the flame flicker. It just relaxing. My Grandma just a little over a year ago gave me a Floransense Fresh Strawberry Pie Candle. I opened it once when I was with Granny to take a sniff of it. It smelt yummy. I am picky on candles because I do not want something to strong, there are a few I do not care for, and won’t buy it.
The other day I decided to light some candes and I’d lite my Floransense Fresh Strawberry Pie Candle, it still gave a nice scent out. I have always had candles even when I lived with Granny. She is part of why I am how I am. If it wasn’t far here I wouldn’t be where I am at today. Grant it life isn’t perfect not like I am rich and can buy her a home, but I am far better then I would be with out here. One thing about Granny never tell her you like something expecailly if your me or one of her grand children. I wouldn’t say she favores me but I think her and I have a special relationship because she helped me grow up. Granny doesn’t usually light the candles so there no telling how long, she had this candle but I am betting at least a year or 2 before I got it. I have a couple candles I will never light and if my hubby lights them he going to have one unhappy wife.
But back to the candle, it comes in a red jar, it’s have and seems to be ceramic. It has a top on it so you don’t have to blow out the flame just place the top on and it out. I like candles similar to this style because you don’t have to worry about wax getting on the home theater carpeting. Once I had a candle in a dish, and I went to blow it out and had was fly up into my face and out a few feet and hit my pet rat. Poor little creature I felt horrible, for the rat, never again did I place that dish anywhere near anything that could be burned and fell it. This candle there less likelyhood of being burned with by the wax but I am sure if I really tried I could succeed at that.

Give me the salt

Alessi Coarse Sea Salt I got a few weeks ago while shopping at Cubs. I had ran out of my last Sea Salt and I prefer it over the other stuff. Sometimes it seems I need a horse lick because I crave salt. Maybe I should go to a horse supplies store and find some horse licks. I won’t don’t worry, that be gross.
The bottle is see through and the label is green and white. I have found that it’s hard to get the salt to grind, and their is no cap on the top of it so if you grind to much it gets wasted. The salt is imported from Italy, I wonder why we need sea salt imported from Italy doesn’t our oceans on the States boarders have plenty of salt. Okay I will admit I will by salt import from the middle east so maybe I aught not to be surpressed. I normally do not put salt on everything but I do put it on Corn on the cob, and sometimes will use a little as seasoning, but I try to be careful because my hubby got high blood pressure.
The salt tastes like most salt, I can’t say their is anything that sets it apart from other salts which come in a grinder.

Burger King again

I think last night I should have skipped dinner, or just got something from the gas station. I decided Burger King would be the place. I really need to try to figure out where other place are that are quick over there.
I ordered their chicken nuggets from the value menu, and a onion ring from the value menu. The type of sauce I choose was BBQ. The chicken nuggets were dry and didn’t seem very warm to me. The thing which supresses me is it was slow there. No wonder if they serving their food cool. The onion rings were good and hot.
This Burger King was in St. Lious Park, Mn near my college campus. I got a Large DR. Pepper there, which was good for class because it lasted me the entire class. I think I going to need to start on diet pills, if I keep drinking this much pop during class.

Jokes on us

I recently went back to the UOP, and haven’t had any troubles until this class. I have to say I was a little disappointed in our IT department. They had been working on the site to make it better, but that didn’t exactly work the way they wanted it to work. Suddenly many students were unable to get into their classroom, and same for the Professors. How nice, we had a final in my class along with the final presentation which went horrible I think.
I am a good student and had everything ready to be submitted well before the due date. On Saturday morning I logged on to check to see where the learning team was with the paper. Couldn’t get on, I wasn’t to worried because I figured by the time I get home and ready to do homework it will be back up. Wrong again. I got home, check it was still down, this was early afternoon. Okay I will try again later, so I tried again around 9 or so, and still down. I wasn’t worried because by this time they had a message for the students and facalty who were being affected, and said it should be back up by the next morning. I wasn’t worried, I figured I would just leave my assignment wait. I was getting anxious about the final and not being able to get to the study guide. I am sure I didn’t do so well on my final but that okay because the overall classroom I have done well. Maybe I did better then I thought but doubt it.
What should have happened is they should have had IT first do a test run before running it for the entire college, now we don’t know if they can recover all of our assignments. Okay no big deal I have it saved up.
Overall I been happy with the UOP, I think there professors are wonderful, the class setting I love. Most of my classes have been small, which makes learning easy. I think I might have had one class there with 12 people which was a large class. I like the format because I am required to learn the material for myself and not just puke out what the professor has told me.
One nice thing about the Texts we are required to have they are mostly all on line, and what’s not on line then I can get from their student store, or Amazon books. The last time I was at Border I saw one of our books we need for every single class, to be honest I haven’t used it that much but I still refer it to occasionally.

I am not angry with the school and to be honest I enjoy the class I been in. I don’t really have any complaints other then just make sure to test run things first, then release it. I do like the new setup they have it easier to get to things while on line in class. It will be nice to have everything together, so I just have to click on their little tab things.

Infinite Undiscovery

My first thought on this game was interesting, and it would have been nice to know which way was north, so I could figure out where things where quicker. The main character is a look a like to Signmud, his name is Capele.
Capele’s rescued from Aya in jail she thought he was Sigmud the hero, but looks like no matter how much Capele don’t wanna be a hero he destined to be just that. He tries to stay out of fighting hey it might hurt me, doesn’t strike me as the type of person who would be the hero, but when push comes to shove he will be there.
You start out with 2 characters him and Aya, the first mission is fairly simple, do a few battles with te guards and get the treasures look around before going into the elevator. After you get out of the elevator try getting all the treasure on your way up, don’t worry about fighting anyone if you can avoid it just run like heck. Capele and Aya will be able to run from them outside kill the gaurds and becareful when picking up fruit sometimes it attacks the happy bees to attack you character then they mark you with their sent and you get a bunch of bees. During this time don’t worry about running until you get the big monster then run and eventually you’ll get to meet your look alike.
Sorry I am spoiling it for people. Capele has a flute but other then playing that, he don’t do much more then fighting. It seems in the beginning of the game capele only fights and plays the flute. Early on you get a new song for the flute, use the flute which shows hidden treasure, it will also show you hidden paths.
This game is a fun little game pretty much what your group is trying to do is safe your planet from chains attached to the moon, thinking maybe they are trying to get the moon to crash into the earth. Sigmud going to break them chains, and when Capele joins up with sigmud he gets to learn how to break the chain. Capele seems like the good ole passavest, doesn’t want to fight. The map is always on the top right part of the screen, normally what I try to do is cover every single area of each section and get all the good stuff out. Use that time to level up and get some gold. The nice thing about this is some of your team members can create different type of weapons which ends up giving sometimes better equipement then you can get at the shops. One nice thing would be having something like Nikon binoculars this way he could see farther in the distance when he outside.
I haven’t found tomany dislikes yet in this game. I like the way they set up the battle system it takes a little getting used to but it easy to change the sitting so he can play the flute and find things.

Soft Soap Elements Lavender & Chamomile Hand Soap

Normally I do not much care for lavender scented things because it is always so powerful. I don’t even really like the floor because it just smells to strong and sometimes causes allergies issues. I was in need of hand wash in the bathroom, and I was smelling a bunch of differnt soft soaps. I found the Lavender and Chamomile. I really liked the smell and it was just mild enough to smell very nice.
I have used this a couple of time in the bathtub to make a nice little bubble bath. I am tempted to try it on some of my pillow cases and see if it keeps it nice sent. Maybe when I have kids I will wash my
baby bedding in it. Lavender is supposed to have calming effects same with chamomile. Now I am not sure how truely those two actually calm because the Tea never has been a calming effect.

Fresh Pear & Apple Blossom by Softsoap

A few weeks ago I decided to try a different scent. I like the brand Softsoap, for the most I do not break out from it, so it seems gentle enough for my skin. I picked up the Fresh Pear and Apple Bloom body wash, the pear can diffently be smelt. It smells yummy, and has a sweet smell to it. I think it got a great femaine smell to it. The Pomegranted one is more of the male small to it.
I get the 18 FL oz and this usually last me a few months. With all the money trouble it a good thing I don’t have to have a budgeting and planning for saving on body wash. The soap is a light green color with some tiny white beads which are soft. The nice thing about this is I still have a soft scent of soap on me the next day even through I wash it off with water.

I wish they kept it

One of my favorite allergy meds was taken off the shelf because people like using it for drugs. It was Clortimeton 12 hours, I prefered this over the every 4-6 hour formula because I could take less, I hate taking meds in general. I don’t want to turn it into anything other than allergy relief. Sometimes did mix it with another stronger allergy meds when the good ole Lilac bushes where in Bloom and nothing worked unless I took 2 different types.
Here what I don’t get with the maker of Clortimeton removing their products, many companies with similar meds have decided to put it behind the pharmacy. I don’t have a problem with this because it probably helps some with preventing people who are looking to make illigal drugs, but it also helps those of us who really need it be able to get to it. Frankly I don’t mind the what extra 3 minutes it takes to talk to the pharmacist and sign the paper. I normally get one box every 2 weeks, during the season were my allergies are there but not bad maybe every month or so. So I am not abusing any drugs. I know some do. I have had friends go through drug rehabilitation, and have watch family struggle with getting and then staying sober. At a early age I decided I woldn’t be like my family, I would do the exact opposite of them. I have done just that sometimes it not a good thing but as far as drugs and other stuff it was wise. My family who struggled cleaned theirself up and I am proud of them.

Oh Man! Never happened

I had a friend come over the other night. We wanted to just simply hang out and have a good time. I had walked by the bathroom to put something away and I hear Oh man. So I asked what was wrong, because I am proned to forget to put toilet paper in there when I completed the roll. Oh man, never happened before, the stupid toilet plugged, good thing it didn’t overrun or anything. I have never owned a plugger because I have never needed one, so of to Target I had to go.
Maybe it a good thing they have started decreasing the amount of water sent to the toilets probably saved me a huge clean up. My husand and I went to Target and found a small pluger, well we also found a tiny one but it was just to close to the water for comfort. They had one toilet plugger for 15$, now that is simply insane. The one we found was 6$ and then we decide it would be great to get a couple of toilet bowl scrubber. The one thing I couldn’t find at Target is the stuff we like using in the Toilet, it’s looks like hard salt, but it cleans wonderfully. It comes in a contianer and is dry. I have never been able to get my toilet to look more cleaner with anything else.
We checked out, and there always so nice and helpful when your leaving making sure if they are free to ask you if your ready to go. I wonder if Target has any Delsey luggage.

Trublood Tv Series

My husband and I got interested, we both have been reading the Sookie series, the Southern Vampire mysteries by Charliane Harris. So when we found out about Tru Blood coming from the book we where interested. Since it on HBO, I believe and we don’t get that station my husband has a site which gives downloads for TV shows. We were glad to see this one would be here.
This is not a Tv show for a young veiwer, there is some harsh language, nudity, and some violence. and as the show progress I am betting it will get worst on the violence. I wouldn’t recommend it for a sensitive viewer niether. I believe Charliane Harris is writing the first several episodes so right now it is following the first book pretty closely. She has added some content into the TV show because there are something which need a little more clarity when watching. Overall my husband and I have liked this show. Even with some of the things we don’t much care for.
The main characters is Shookie and vampire Bill, Jason and Tara, oh and lets not forget about her granny. I am glad that the tv show and book are closely related and I hope they keep it this way. I am wondering who they are going to have play Eric he’s the one character in the book I am wondering about and Pam. This aught to be interesting if they get the right actors/actress.
Lately I am drawn to things I am reading like a magnets, maybe now we’ll start seeing the author outside of our major book stores and in Target or Wal-Mart book area. Although my membership gives me great deals.
