Say What I Think

Since my hair has gotten longer I just don’t want to go any old place, I have used snips and spas in the past here in Bloomington but felt close to 50$ everytime I get my hair trimmed was a little too much money. Well I do not need any face or wrinkle creams I have too many sensitivities and well my hair is finally long and I do not want anyone cutting it. I found a young woman there I like. She listen when I speak to her and remembers things I told her a couple months ago. My other place I go I always get someone new and it seems their turnover rate is high. My hair isn’t too hard to cut but I like to have the same person when I go in to get my hair cut. Especially with the change the school districts are making, not that I would ever go to them with anything in my hair. I think I would die if I got lice. I would like to know why the school districts here think it a good idea to let children return to school with lice eggs those things can hatch after most treatments. Hubby said he shave his head if that happened to him. I told him I am not going bold if I get something like that. I am going to be beyond mad and if you try it you’ll regret it.
I won’t say my exact words to him, but most woman with long hair can guess it. It taken me a long time at least 3 ½ years to grow my hair this long.

Okay I have one at home one of those small ones, and deal with them at work. Okay can I just have back the good all chalk board with all the dusting of the erasers and the chalk that stays on your hand afterwards. What do I not like about the wet board, it’s a good idea, if the board doesn’t get filmy, and the eraser doesn’t get strange. I mean what is in that cleaning stuff something from
fatburner.net because it greasy afterwards, maybe its wax I don’t know but it makes cleaning the board quickly hard. The markers sometimes do not want to work on the board, even though the markers are good, and the eraser getting a sticky feeling on it. I miss chalk boards they at least where dry, and washing your hands got the chalk off right away.

Last week I decided to try some paint by number for dad, it ends up it is too hard for dad. Good thing I like doing paint by numbers, I got a couple of them from this company. I would say over all I am happy there are a couple of things I would like included in the package are a couple more paint brushes, and a few of the empty paint jars. They have you mixing close to 20 different colors they could at least give you a few free jars. The problem with the paint brush I always seem to go through the one brush they give me and need to pick up more brushes from Michael’s I do not paint hard or treat the brushes bad. I have this problem more during the summer when it warm out.
Currently I am working on the boys and his dad fish with a couple of dogs. These are challenging even with good vision. I would love to get a few more of these maybe I should wait till Cyber Monday and see if there are any special promotion. Dad at least enjoys watching me paint these, so I guess he a little involved but it is to hard for him to complete it. I am sure this will turn out beautiful when it is all done. Maybe I should take a picture of it.

Yesterday I went to the MOA with a friend and had decided I wanted to stop in the Dollar store because I needed hand soap. They normally have the soft soap which I use often, and does not make me break out. Sometimes I wonder if I might need to have baby eczema treatment because my skin gets so sensitives. I went in for one item, which normally I do pretty good at just getting the one thing, I needed I leave with just that. When I was in there I realized I needed a couple of other things like foil, soap, poncho, and i found a coloring book that dad would be happy with. Dad doesn’t want something that for little kids but he likes to color. I found a animal planet coloring book.

Recently I had to find flower to order for Granny. She lived in a apartment building and the delivery people didn’t get it all the way to the door. That was okay because granny is well known and they made it to her place. They did a great job at delivering the flowers in a timely manner. They arrived earlier then I thought they would, and Granny loved her flowers, and the little teddy bear that came with it.

Recently Dad wanted a bowling set because he liked bowling as a young man. I got him one form Wal-greens from Play Right. I am glad I got it because it works nicely at home for dad and I to play together. It is something which hubby and i can hold on to it, too and well I am not sure if he and I will play it but I know Dad gets enjoyments out of it. It gets more enjoyment from this then when I get my order flowers online. For some reason flowers just don’t interest dad the way this little game.
It is reasonably price and is light weight so it would be simple for children or elderly people to play it where they probably can not play so easily at a bowling alley because the balls are heavier and you have to toss.

Tonight my husband and I went to the Mall of America, we knew it would rain tonight so the mall was the best option. Hubby been needing a better bag for work and dad been bugging me for a new wallet. We saw a place that took care of both needs and the guy was helpful on finding what I needed for dad. This made my life a little easier. Finding a wallet for dad was worst then finding patio furniture. Hubby found a nice bag with enough pockets and it can fit his laptop when he needs to bring it with him.
The guy was nice enough to give a discount on dad wallet because hubby bought a bag even though we did it as two separate transactions. He was helpful which was nice, I told him what I needed and he listen and found something which worked nicely.

I will admit when I first saw them I thought I would hate them. I am a Skecher fan I have been for over 10 years. Well there sales person had me try on a pair and told me to tell him, what I like and dislike about the shape up. He done the same thing to my husband, now it wasn’t push how he asked so it didn’t bug me. The main thing I didn’t like about them is they add height on me and I am already tall enough for a woman. I don’t even wear heels now I know woman who are taller them me and don’t mind it. I used to be picked on by people. I decided I would try them on just to tell him how I did not like them! Well luckily, for the guy I am not someone who lies, so I am going to be honestly. I am very direct. I liked them they felt comfortable but the problem was I couldn’t wear them at work and keep up with my kids who dart from the room. This is a concern, and I don’t want to wear a pair of shoes that are not good for running after them. I told him this, but they were very comfortable and when I had money, I would come back and get a pair for working out. At the time they only had shape ups, we went back two weeks later to see what was being offered.
This is when I found the right pair for me. I tried them on I can run in them but not ideal for long distance running, certain I could run after a kid if I needed too. They are like the most comfortable tennis I have worn. They do not add to much height to where I would feel too tall. I like them they are lightweight so they don’t feel bulky on my foot. I can walk pretty easily and the best thing is hubby paid for my new shoes because he wants to support me in exercising with a friend and help me when him and I walk. My shoes have thin soles and I could feel everything I step on but they worked great for work and church. Now I got two pairs of shoes what’s a girl to do. Well I love my new Shape Up Extended fitness.
Now when I get used to these shoes I might need a radar detectors because I walk fast. Hubby even likes walking know because his Shape up feels so comfortable. These are the perfect walking shoes. Now I will say a word of caution, these shoes are probably not the best for walking on dirt hills, or on uneven ground because the shape of the shoe. I am fine walking in the grass but wouldn’t recommend them on surfaces that might be a little hard to keep balance up.

We needed to get some lumber for our little campfires at night. It was recommended that we got to a few places and this was one of them. To get three bundles of wood, it was only 10$ which is a lot cheaper then you can get at most stores. We had left over because we bought 6 bundles when I think maybe three would have been enough because we didn’t do a campfire every night. So we have a lot of marshmallows left over and not as much chocolate because hubby ate though his quickly.
Once we found firewood city we had to call the person who runs it. It was simple to call him. Thank goodness, I had cell phone reception. I might have had a hard time getting a hold of them. Cell phone reception in this part of the country is touchy at best. It has a lot of dead zones. So this would be a good place to get firewood.

On Saturday night, we stopped at Southside Fuel in Hackensack MN. We needed to pick up something cold to drink before we hit the cabin, and we were not exactly sure how much further we had to do. I decided when we stopped we didn’t need gas but I needed to wash my windshield off because it was cake on with big bugs. Let me tell you when you have as many bugs as they did up here, you do not want to use your windshield washer it just makes things worst. I could not see out of my window at one point, which kind of bothered me. So we stopped there so I could deal with the car windshield and be able to see better.
We decided to ask for some direction of how much further until we hit our little resort. We were about 15 minutes away, we only had to go to the other end of town. The person there helped us by showing us a map of the area and showing where this little place was, and told us we where close.

I we have went to Swansons Bait Shop in Hackensack Minnesota a few times. I like it there, they sale a variety of tourist things, and odd and ends. On most things, they are overpriced but on their tourist stuff, they are reasonably priced. The bait stuff is very reasonably priced. Each time we have been in, they have been very helpful. Tonight we had a boating mishap, and almost capsized the boat. I needed a little bit of first aid, nothing major but I lost my first aid kit. I asked the kid at the register if they cared a first aid kit, and they didn’t but he gave me some of what he had in his kit for my knee this helped me out a lot. I have a mean bruise and a scrap on my knee right now. Plus I am feeling unhappy with my husband right now but oh well I will get over it.
We had to run there more to get him some dry clothes because all of his clothes got wet and he only has one pair of pants. He is now a walking advertisement for Hackensack MN, which is okay. My brand new zip up sweatshirt is all wet now because of the booting mishap. I am hoping it dries out okay and will be dry by tomorrow. At least I wasn’t wearing the t-shirt I bought too. Swansbait shop is a good place to get bait and your tourist stuff if you are visiting Hackensack MN, and they are friendly and helpful when they need to be. They did not have many things for acne treatmentThe lady who help my husband was very compassionate towards him. She earlier this week gave us direction to the headwaters. If I find my way back in Hackensack MN, I will be sure to stop there again.
