Costco… December 25, 2008
I (we) go to Costco quite often. So obviously we have the ExecutiveMembership Card. Everytime I go to Costco, the stupid lady standing at the doors, will ask me…out of the 5 other people entering at thes ame time I am, for my card. Do the others have their cards out, to show her? NOPE! She specifically asks ME! Why? I dunno, but its getting kind of annoying. Do I not look like the type to have a membership? Seriously!!! You can’t purchase anything without a card (unless you’re with someone else), so whats the big deal? Stop only asking me!!! Thanks!

I left this post untitled, cause I’m sort of speechless…or without words. LOL
We’ve been blessed this Christmas Season all in a matter of 24 hours it seems like. Finances are tight with us, especially our situation with our renter. People have obviously noticed that. We’re okay its just tight. We’d just gone Christmas shopping-and did really well on the whole purchasing things for everyone, didn’t spend a lot etc…I think maybe we spent 60 bucks for EVERYONE. I had taken care of a FEW things last month, but that was only our Mom’s.
Dave was given a 100$ gift card, that we used to buy the presents, and I think he’s saving the rest to go towards a new phone-but i’m not sure. Dave also won a $50 dollar gift card for paying our Geico Bill. How lucky is that?!?! He’s also been able to work on a side freelance project that might give him some extra money soon-here’s hopin’!!! Also, I suppose our neighborhood collects money for someone that might need it more than they would…They do it instead of giving neighbor gifts and all of that. I think thats awesome. Wish I would’ve known about it, when they were collecting. Well turns out, they thought we needed it! It was $250 bucks, and was delivered last nite. Its SOO gonna help us get some bills taken care of, and of course we were able to go spend just a LITTLE BIT more on some gifts. It really helps us to know that people do think about other people at this time of year, and that we are ALL family when it comes down to it. We’ve never had anyone be nice to us like this at this time of year (or any time of year, honestly) so it is way nice. Really opens up my opinions of people in the neighborhood.
I really love it when Stress is just taken care of!!!
Now if Dave and I can just get a vacation without kids, that would make things SOOO much better. LOL
So, back to my crafting, i wait too long to get things done. WHY?!?!?!?!
*Forgot to add…New job might be on the horizon for Dave, and that would be sad to leave his job, but ummm more pay, is AWESOME! Good things just keep coming! DON”T STOP!!!
Fish Pedicures huh? December 17, 2008
**This was on a forum I’m apart of, and I just found it too interesting to not share with the rest of you. I’m not willing to get one, but I’m sure somebody is? LOL**
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — Ready for the latest in spa pampering? Prepare to dunk your tootsies in a tank of water and let tiny carp nibble away.
Fish pedicures are creating something of a splash in the D.C. area, where a northern Virginia spa has been offering them for the past four months. John Ho, who runs the Yvonne Hair and Nails salon with his wife, Yvonne Le, said 5,000 people have taken the plunge so far.
“This is a good treatment for everyone who likes to have nice feet,” Ho said.
He said he wanted to come up with something unique while finding a replacement for pedicures that use razors to scrape off dead skin. The razors have fallen out of favor with state regulators because of concerns about whether they’re sanitary.
Ho was skeptical at first about the fish, which are called garra rufa but typically known as doctor fish. They were first used in Turkey and have become popular in some Asian countries.
But Ho doubted they would thrive in the warm water needed for a comfortable footbath. And he didn’t know if customers would like the idea.
“I know people were a little intimidated at first,” Ho said. “But I just said, ‘Let’s give it a shot.’ “
Customers were quickly hooked.
Tracy Roberts, 33, of Rockville, Md., heard about it on a local radio show. She said it was “the best pedicure I ever had” and has spread the word to friends and co-workers.
“I’d been an athlete all my life, so I’ve always had calluses on my feet. This was the first time somebody got rid of my calluses completely,” she said.
First time customer KaNin Reese, 32, of Washington, described the tingling sensation created by the toothless fish: “It kind of feels like your foot’s asleep,” she said.
The fish don’t do the job alone. After 15 to 30 minutes in the tank, customers get a standard pedicure, made easier by the soft skin the doctor fish leave behind.
Ho believes his is the only salon in the country to offer the treatment, which costs $35 for 15 minutes and $50 for 30 minutes. The spa has more than 1,000 fish, with about 100 in each individual pedicure tank at any given time.
Dennis Arnold, a podiatrist who four years ago established the International Pedicure Association, said he had never heard of the treatment and doubts it will become widespread.
“I think most people would be afraid of it,” he said.
Customer Patsy Fisher, 42, of Crofton, Md., admitted she was nervous as she prepared for her first fish pedicure. But her apprehension dissolved into laughter after she put her feet in the tank and the fish swarmed to her toes.
“It’s a little ticklish, actually,” she said.
Ho said the hot water in which the fish thrive doesn’t support much plant or aquatic life, so they learned to feed on whatever food sources were available — including dead, flaking skin. They leave live skin alone because, without teeth, they can’t bite it off.
In addition to offering pedicures, Ho hopes to establish a network of Doctor Fish Massage franchises and is evaluating a full-body fish treatment that, among other things, could treat psoriasis and other skin ailments.
Ho spent a year and about $40,000 getting the pedicures up and running, with a few hiccups along the way.
State regulations make no provision for regulating fish pedicures. But the county health department — which does regulate pools — required the salon to switch from a shallow, tiled communal pool that served as many as eight people to individual tanks in which the water is changed for each customer.
The communal pool also presented its own problem: At times the fish would flock to the feet of an individual with a surplus of dead skin, leaving others with a dearth of fish.
“It would sometimes be embarrassing for them but it was also really hilarious,” Ho said.
We all have our quirks…right? December 17, 2008
I have been tagged a few times to this “QUIRK” thing. We’re supposed to think of 6 unusual quirks ya have then tag your friends to do the same thing. So here it goes, I don’t know if I can come up with 6. HAHA
1) Before I get into bed, I have to brush off the bed, then put the blankets back on. What am I brushing off you ask? Crumbs? Nope, don’t eat in bed. Bugs? Dead Skin? probably. LOL I don’t know what it is, but seriously, it’ll bug me and I won’t be able to go to sleep unless I brush all those off. Even if they are non-existent. I’ll imagine something crawling on my legs.
2) I refuse to cook/bake if the counters are not completely cleaned, and if the sink has dishes in it. I gotta make sure I’m cooking in a clean environment. Appreciate that, if you eat at my house. Oh, and the stove has to be cleaned too.
3) I can’t start watching a movie midway thru the movie. Even if its a movie I’ve seen a thousand times (But really, have i seen a movie a thousand times?). There are a few that i can start from anywhere, but they are my favorites…Office Space, Sweet Home Alabama. yeah thats probably it. Oh and same thing goes for TV shows.
4) I have to have my towels (when put away and folded) facing the same way. This includes washcloths, kitchen towels, hand towels, big towels etc… The part thats folded over, has to be facing out. Its just how it has to be dang it!
5) I have to know the correct lyrics to songs that I listen to. I love to sing, and sing along to songs, so I gotta make sure i’m singing the right words. I frequent a few lyrics websites to get the words, and when I used to buy CD’s, I’d get mad if the insert didn’t include the lyrics, and go print them out. First time I’d listen to a cd, I’d sit there and read the lyrics while the songs playing. Yeah, I’ve gotten a little bit better about that.
6) I’m gonna have to think about this one and get back to you. Oh wait, thats it!!! LOL I always don’t finish things. I painted my bedroom, and put stencils of flowers around it, yeah, I left like a foot off. 5 years later, its still not done. Cool huh? thats just how I am I guess. Its become my little trademark to not finish things. awesome. It seriously wasn’t intended for this one though!!!
I TAG ANYONE WHO READS THIS!!!! YEAH! Leave me a comment to let me know you’re gonna do it, so I can make sure to read it and comment on yours!
CHOCOLATE December 17, 2008
Since I’m sorta dieting (btw-its going good, I just need to exercise)…I’ve cut out chocolate out of a lot of my diet. Hasn’t been that big of a sacrifice though. I got this e-mail a while ago, and thought it was funny.
Chocolate is cheaper than therapy, and you don’t need an appointment.
Chocolate doesn’t make the world go round, but it sure makes the trip worthwhile.
Research show 14 out of 10 people love chocolate.
I would give up chocolate but I am no quitter!
One of life’s mysteries is how a 2-pound box of chocolates can make a person gain 2 pounds.
I am not overweight I am chocolate-enriched.
There are two food groups, chocolate and fruit and if it is fruit is should be dipped in chocolate.
Twitter… December 17, 2008
What is the deal with all of these status sites? Like Facebook, has a status you can put in…myspace has it too now I believe (but I never go there anymore). And then there’s twitter!
I’ve been on twitter a while. Don’t use it that often, but I know people that use it for crazy things! Like they’ll be out somewhere and will twitter what someone around them is doing, and it goes on for hours. I don’t get it. I guess I’m not supposed to.
I’d totally forgotten about twitter until today when Stacie (HI!!!), started to follow me, so I logged on. I guess I had been on November 16th, when I was having issues with our tenant…well lookie there, its December 16th, and we’re having those same issues once again! How awesome is that? yeah, i’m gonna go ahead and say NO!!!! However, that is a whole other post in itself… SOON TO COME!
So, if y’all have twitter and want to join me, I will attempt to keep it updated more often, cause I guess its the thing to do. LOL My ID on there is the same as the blog: AIMEE81. Original I know, its my name, and the year I was born. Woot!!!
