Hautman Brothers collection: American Eagle

I got the American eagle which is in a oval my goodness talk about challenging. This puzzle was one of the harder ones I have done, but normally I don’t pick many puzzles which are oval. I had trouble with the outside pieces and sometimes there were pieces which looked like they belonged but then soon you found out they really did not fit there. I will say I liked the puzzle and good thing I don’t need a Plano dentist form all the thinking I did on this puzzle. I will say it is beautiful, and I will probably look for more puzzles from this person, since while I don’t have classes for a while, I need to keep my brain active.
I got it made in less then a week, even though it was challenging. I almost lost once piece of the puzzles some how it ended up across the room. Dad ask me if I was going to glue it together and I told him no I want to be able to do it a few more times then I will glue it up. It did come with a nice picture in the box, so maybe if dad wants the bird hanging I will just use that picture for him. The picture is just as pretty as the puzzle, so it should be a good compromise.

More on Dragon Age

Wow let me say frustrating, I have done a few battles in the beginning of the game over a few times, and sometimes I have finally gave up and changed it to the casual setting because I can not seem to get the battle at all and I try several different things. I still like the game and I enjoy it but I believe in some parts of the game they could have made it a little more easier to defeat the first battles then they did, until your at least at lvl 10 this way your by then use to how the game works best.
I have finally figured out the best way to handle doing their top diet pills for my heros and I have a party I like a lot, and a couple heros I would like to tell take a flying leap off the bridge, because they complain to much.
Some of the battles are not to bad once you figure out the best strategy to us, and sometimes even the right strategy has taken me more then a couple of times to do it. It is kindof frustrating but oh well at least it is still a fun game.

our experience at Baker Square on Ford Pkwy

Okay if we eat out to much more this month I will need someweight loss products to help me lose my fatness. Last night we ate at Baker Square with our friend. They have changed there menu a lot since the last time we went there, but they still have the Wednesday pie shop special. Hubby and I ordered the same thing, that doesn’t happen to often. We both order the Salmon sandwich, I had fries hubby asked for Peta bread instead of fries. He had the mango lemon aide and I had the blackberry twist lemon aide, it was good. The salmon sandwich to me didn’t seem warm enough, but it was still good, just would have preferred it to be a little warmer.
For desert I had bannanna cream pie, and that was very good. I even ate most of the crust. Overall the food was okay. The server did a good job at taking care of us and giving us the space we neeeded.

Our experience at Target in Lakeville

My leg still hurts, and I am still limping around, I slide on ice in the parking lot. Hubby and I stopped to pick up some cat food and a couple of other things we needed. The target is a super target. I needed to pick up some body soap, and should have look for acne solutions and chocolate. We got our stuff and checked out. It didn’t take to long but we kind of walked around in there for a while. I looked at the electric cat litters the ones which clean up the cat litter on it own. I couldn’t believe the darn cost near 100$. But we did find a cat litter box we like hopefully the dog won’t be able to get into it and eat the poop out of it.
I haven’t got it yet but I will be getting it my next paycheck. Checking out went smoothly.

I need a new book

This weekend Hubby and I went to Boards Books, because I needed a book for reading. I haven’t gotten my normal emails from them, which I normally get an email every week with deals. Not this week, oh well. Something happened that normally doesn’t happen the cashier told us that we had a 30% off special and that it was applied to the book. Oh good I didn’t know that but I will take it happily. I love going to boarders and finding good books for reading. Sometimes I have been advised on what book is good and boy normally they have been right on target which is important to me. If I am going to read aphentermine reviews I want it to have what I want.
We walked out with 3 paper back books and I told hubby they aught to last for 2 weeks, or so. There is one book I want to get but it’s so short that I feel I need to get other books with it.

Lovely Bones

Last night was movie night, hubby likes movies a lot, I am not one who likes it but I will go with him. Just to make him happy, funny he hardly goes hiking with me to make me happy, maybe this summer I am going to be get deet on and lets go do something I enjoy. But lets do a KVM switch back to the movie, Lovely Bones. My hubby told me one the way home that the director of this movie was the same one who did Lord of the Rings, and he hasn’t done much since done, he started and stop projects. Well I think I know why he hasn’t done much since Lord of the Rings, because not many good movies have came out, he does well at picking good movies with out a bunch of language and violent scenes are done tastefully or as tasteful as possible.
Lovely Bones was about a 14 yr old girl who was murdered by her neighbor, I guess he enjoyed killing people. She was involved in school and the typical well behaved child, who sometimes didn’t get along with her parents, but it seemed she had a better relationship them most children her age. Well neighbor guy built a trap but I won’t say where or what kind of trap and got her done there. The scene lift your imagination to figure out what exactly happened to her, but you knew he killed her. I will say here heaven is nothing like the real heaven. I don’t think G-d would make a murder victim have to meet all the people he killed in the way they was killed. But it was still good. It was sad in some places.
She had to pick between revenge on the guy or healing for her family, this would be hard to choose from because being murdered is a great violation to the person and I think most would want revenge for a time. I know I probably would, but in the movie it showed that revenge wasn’t hers. In a way I am glad it showed this, because so many Hollywood movies are about gaining the revenge and having no consequences.
I will have to say that this is the best movie I have ever seen in this type of movie. It was done tastefully. In the end when his other victims where given names, and faces it was done tastefully and you learned exactly what kind of murder he was. I will admit my husband and I both felt more revenge then what the guy got in the end would have been nice or seeing what some of his death was like would have been nice, but honestly the movie was not about what he deserve but more of the story of the child family.
I would not recommend this movie for young children. Seriously new parents stop bring your crying babies to movies find a sitter that what they are for.

Date night at Applebee’s

Last night hubby and I went out for dinner, the places we wanted to go were already closed. So we decided we would go to apple bees and order off there appetizer menu, we are both watching calories, hubby wanted mozzarella sticks, and we just shared a side of those. We order fruit smoothies too, those where good. I pill the bread off of the cheese because I have to watch how much wheat products I eat. The waiter came over, and I said sorry I don’t eat the bread and he told me a lot of customers do that same thing watching calories. Okay if I was overly concerned about my calories I would have not eat the cheese lets face it cheese is high in fat so it probably not classified as a fat burners. Now they claim some cheese are good for burning fat but I find that difficult to believe.
Our drinks came to us right away. My husband and I where talking about them at one point and asked out waiter how much real fruit was being used in them and where told the smoothies where made with fruit puree which is good. Just like real fruit maybe added stuff in it. I still prefer out local smoothie place here.
The mozzarella sticks came shortly after we order them they where nice and warm and tasted good to but I think it hard to mess up mozzarella sticks. Overall we had a nice experience at Apple Bees and our waiter did a good job.

Mainstays Candles

This week the electric was turned off, I forgot to pay the bill. Ops oh well, so we went a night with out electricity. I ended up needing to get some candles which where safe to use, and wouldn’t drip wax all over the place, I didn’t have much money to spend on candles, I had about 15 that I could spend. I looked at a couple of places, and I was only going to be able to maybe 2 candles which would drip all over the place. I didn’t want to go to far away from home so I tried the corner store first, but found very quickly they did not have what I wanted. Well I finally decided to run over to Wal-mart and look what they had figuring I might be able to get at least 3 candles if I picked right, and I could use some of the existing candles I had in the apartment which would mean not enough like to go around. Well, I got to Wal-Mart and found the candles. I found some Mainstay candles, in a little jar for only 97 cents. I was shocked, I could have gotten some bigger jars for 3.50 but felt getting 12 jars was better. So I got 2 of each scent. My favorite one is Hazelnut Cream, it reminds me of cookies or flavored coffee. I put 2 in the bathroom 6 in the living room and 4 in hubby room and bathroom, so there was plenty to go around and I didn’t even use them all. So I guess we have some extra candles, which is great because maybe I can burn some when people come over in the bathroom make it look nicer in there. To bad acne cleanser don’t work for making things nicely.
I was surprise how long they burned I lite them at about 430 and burned them until close to 10pm and then burned them again in the morning. So far none of the candles are still close to 3/4 full still. So these little candles really do last quiet a while.

Dragon Age

I can’t believe I have had a little time to be able to play Dragon Age in my final class at College. But I had a 2 weeks break and took advantage of that, tomorrow is my last day of classes. I am so happy it will give me more time to play the game.
This is a interesting game to say the least. It seems no matter what your character will be stuck as a gray warden, so I am not sure how different the game play will be not like there to many blinds on it.
I am playing as a mage, So my character doesn’t use many weapons, and isn’t very strong on close up attacks so attacking from a distance is a good idea. My hubby is playing as a rouge something seem easier for him then for me but that’s okay.
This game gives you some choices which is nice, and there enough hunting to be doing. The battles are action based. The game has some challenging battles in the beginning but not to challenging to where you want to put the game away.
One thing I found interesting in this game is that your party has approval ratings for your actions and if they dislike you enough they will leave your party. I find this to be a good thing but kind of challenges because it seems if you make one member happy you tick of the other in turn. So the key is to keep everyone happy enough not to leave you.
I guess the world in this game is being over ran by demons, and as a gray warden you get to conquer them with some consequences. The graphics are pretty good but to bad they can not go up to 1080p I believe it’s 720p but the graphics are still good.

Can’t tire of Don Pablos

It’s been a couple weeks since being able to eat at Don Pablos, it seems it is dad favorite place, so maybe having a few holidays which force him to choose a new place is a good thing, or it could get a little tiring. The food is always great and thank goodness there are many options for me, I can eat all of their sides too. I wonder where they rank in the local food magazines, I know one thing I will not find out on richard willich news.
Dad had his two beef tacos, hubby had his chili and I had the pick two combo and chicken pepper and a chicken taco, for my side I had the corn bread and beans.
At first we thought we might have trouble with our waiter because he seemed a little rough around the edges, but he was new and didn’t know everything, so he was probably thinking hard about what on the menu then other more experience wait staff. He did a very good job in the end of everything. I do have to admit in the beginning I was tempted to ask for our other waitress but I didn’t want to hurt his feelings and I didn’t feel service was bad enough to do that.
I think our favorite part of dinner is the chips we tend to eat through those like it going out of style. They are very good, and we really do like them. The salsa for being mild is very spicy, sometimes it’s to spicy for dad, but he still eats eat. I seem to drink a lot of soda there when I am eating the chips. What tastes good is putting some salt on the chips and dipping it into the salsa. This is a great restaurant for a family night activity but it is very hard to hear each other.
