I would absolutely love to have my own business. My own rules, my own hours, my own happiness. I long for the day when I can do as I please and get paid for it! Running your own business has to be hard and time consuming though, and probably includes things that I know nothing about like business insurance. I can and will continue to dream, though.

In times like these, affordable health insurance is SO hard to come by. Even if you have insurance through your employer, it isn’t exactly cheap. After having my daughter, my insurance payment went from six dollars to one hundred and sixty. It’s quite a dent out of my paycheck, but I am happy to know that she is covered. $165 is a very small price to pay for a happy and healthy baby. I feel for the people out there who have no insurance.

With Christmas just around the corner, every store in town will be jam packed with people… which means I will definitely not be getting in the middle of the frenzy! I will most likely buy the gift of cigars online, along with the rest of my holiday shopping. I need to get on it because Christmas will be here before you know it, and I need to make sure there is enough time for my items to ship!

Do you prepare for Christmas all year long, or do you put it off until the last minute like me?

Whenever I start aging, I will definitely look into anti wrinkle cream. My grandmother said that I will most likely age well because my face is round and chubby, meaning it will probably take longer to thin out when I age. Thank goodness! Glad to know my chubby cheeks are going to actually do me some good one day!

My daughter Layla’s cheeks are really quite massive. There’s no doubt about which parent she got those from!

I can’t imagine getting a colon cleanse. Have you ever had one? Why did you need it? I would definitely do some research on the matter if I was presented with the reality of needing one, but in all honesty it’s not something I’ll be looking to on my own.

With that said, I am interested in professionally having my ears cleaned out! It seems like it would be great considering cleaning with q-tips only shoves gunk in further rather than getting it out. I hate to think about that actually, it kinda freaks me out.

The fun that comes with buying a new (or new to you) car is getting a good insurance quote. When we bought our Nissan Versa this year we checked out a few different places and found that Progressive offered the best rates. However, months later I looked into State Farm, who my Volkswagen Beetle has been with for years, and it turns out my monthly bill decreased by over fourty dollars with the company. I am stil excited about the savings, because not only do we save on the Nissan, but it also lowered the Beetle’s payment as well!

Awesome!

My grandfather has a beeeautiful backyard with a huge koi fish pond. I wonder where he gets his pond supplies? I would love to have a fish pond but they require tons of maintenance, and with a little one I would be scared that it could be a hazard when she starts walking.

My grandfather has even bred some of his koi fish and given them to friends and neighbors to put in their pond. He’s hardcore like that!
