Early Thanksgiving

We are going to be in beautiful San Diego this weekend to spend an early Thanksgiving with Chips brother and his family. We have to do it early because Chip has appointments that he cannot break on Tuesday and Friday so it makes spending Thanksgiving on the actual holiday difficult. I think we are going to be able to go visit Sea World and of course Tijuana. What fun!

Reynolds Handi-Vac

Last night I saw a commercial for Reynolds Handi-Vac vacuum sealer. It's a new, cheaper way of storing food in the freezer. You've seen the infomercials for those food vacuums where you put something in the bag, hold the end up to the sealer and it sucks all the air out then it burns the bag so it seals then cuts it. Those things can cost anywhere from $100 - $300 depending on the type you buy. Well, the new Reynolds Handi-Vac is very small. You fill these ziplock bags with your food then zip it closed then put the machine on the air valve and press the button and it sucks the air out. When you need to open the bag to get something out of it you can then seal it again. Their website said that it's best if you just throw them out when done because they are disposible but I have a wierd feeling that they wont last too long so I'm gonna save the bags hehe. I bought the machine plus a box of 9 gallon size bags. I've been filling them up with everything, rice, espresso grounds, baby carrots, ham, spam and steak haha. I'm done for the night lol.

Huge Coffee Cups

About a month ago we were at Albertson's and I saw they had these huge coffee mugs in the coffee section and I can't remember but I think they were cappuccino cups. We've been using them for many things like soup bowls, cereal bowls, huge coffee cups which I can never finish without spilling hehe. So tonight Chip said that he wanted a cappuccino (cause we have a cappuccino maker now) so I thought I wonder, instead of using the regular coffee mugs if I should just use the big ones and do a full pot for him and a full for me. So I did and that was such a good idea. I have so much energy lol. I'm AWAKE!

Back Up And Running

Ok I finally got my website back up and running. I was having problems with the horizontal line (candy cane above and under this entry) but I got it all figured out finally. I had to go into "photo shop" to move the icing in the background so it's wider so I can fit all the text in that space. The christmas bulbs were making it too big. It's all good now hehe.

Disappearing Act

My website disappeared tonight (Monday 11/12/07) because I deleted it all to start fresh so I could remove some unwanted things but it backfired and eventually it all got put back. Except there are some pages, lots of pages in fact that are missing. I haven't converted those yet to the gingerbread theme. I'm still working on that so as soon as I am finished it will be back. Thank you for your patience.

Too much work

I knew I had a lot of work to do on my website when I decided to change the theme but I had no idea I had so many pages to change. And I'm gonna have to go through this again after Christmas when I put in a new theme hehe.
