It’s Just Me.

Does this boring lame layout work or is it just the site in general? It works good for me on all our computers on both IE and firefox. IE is much slower but it works.

I know some are having issues and some are not. It’s driving me nuts.

Once again I am having trouble with my site. Please let me know if you too are getting error pages or if my page won’t load or stay loaded or just if my site is a huge pain in the butt to look at. Thanks.

Last night my husband and I were watching the travel channel. They were doing a special on what to visit while in Las Vegas. I’ve never been there but I know my husband would love to take his father there sometime and if he goes so am I. I’d love to see the new shows they put on. I think besides a Broadway Show in New York, there is nothing better than seeing a Live Las Vegas performance.
Right now there is a new Cirque Du Soleil performance featuring CRISS ANGEL called CRISS ANGEL Believe.

Criss Angel’s show is like no other illusionists show. Criss uses many other characters in his show to almost make it like a play. He plays a character in his own illusion and brings the audience with him while he spins a magical tale. There is an entire cast of characters and dancers that will bring forth his fantasy and make it seem like a magical reality. His talents and tricks won’t be just presented in a stand up show like the old style magicians. Instead his talents play along side a story which will keep you on the edge of your seat.

You too can see CRISS ANGEL, now appearing at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas by entering their contest. You need to Text ‘Believe’ to 22122 to win 2 tickets to the ‘CRISS ANGEL Believe’ show. I know it is a show I’d love to see. Criss Angel performs magic like no other. Visit the site, check out the video previews, watch the countdown, see who is behind this magical show and other fun things.

We got my daughter a new bike this year, so now all three of us have new bikes. We have gone on several bike rides but the first one was a killer. The second one was pretty harsh as well. We have a small hill we have to go up and it is murder on my thighs. We haven’t been on a bike ride for a few days because of the heat. Also because I had to take my son’s privileges away when he didn’t listen at a stop sign. Then he cried the entire way home because I was taking away his bike time. Let me tell you, that is probably the worst thing you can do to this Mom is to embarrass her in public with your bad behavior. He ended up with four days rather than the one because he just kept acting poorly.

But the heat, oh my gosh, it has been in the high 90s and a few days of over 100! One day last week was 106 and it was miserable outside. So needless to say we’ve been inside a lot or the kids have been in the pool. I’ve only ventured the pool once and then got right back out since it was way too cold for me.

I’m hoping I can make myself get out of bed earlier than I have been so I can get the yard mowed before it gets hot. With the pool and the trampoline in the back yard I sure have a lot less yard to mow and I sure like that. The extra weed whacking I have to do does not even it out in the least. The weed whacking is the part I hate most.

Otherwise, not much is going on. Mostly just chillin’, staying up late, sleeping in late, watching movies together, playing games online and off, swimming, going for bike rides, trying to stay cool and eating horrible foods. Sounds like summer to me.

I’ve been learning more about going green and trying to implement it in our lives more. I can admit my attempts this far have been weak and I’ll never be totally green but there are things I can do to help. One of those things that we’ve been really trying to work on, is our use of electricity.

You guys know my love of vacuums. I have three dogs, two children and a husband who enjoys wiping the crumbs off the table and onto the floor. So I’ve found something to help me save electricity and complete my vacuum love. With the Dirt Devil I get to easily vacuum and save energy! With the super fast charging called AccuCharge, the vacuum charges two times faster, then when fully charged the power is reduced which uses 70% less energy. It is the first cordless vacuum to be Energy Star approved.

The Dirt Devil Stick Vac is super cool and I would love to have it in my kitchen area so I could whip it out and catch all those floating dog hairs as often as I wanted. Then I could flip the roller bar to on and vacuum my throw rugs as well. Honestly I could see myself doing this every day if not twice a day in my kitchen. It folds in half so it doesn’t take up a lot of room to charge and store it. It also comes with a two year warranty.

I haven’t even mentioned the Hand Vac and how awesome it would be for getting the dog hair out of my car after those trips to get their pawdicures. Just that little short trip there and back ruins my car and I have to get out the big loud garage canister vacuum. The Hand Vac has the same size battery as the stick vac and comes with a three year warranty.

Did I mention that same husband who likes to wipe the crumbs off the table and onto the floor also thinks that it is ok for the dogs to lick up the crumbs or that my normal vacuum works great on the kitchen floor? I’d rather he not bother because it drives me insane. I think for the sake of our marriage I need them both, stat!
