Warmth!!!

I love to be warm So does Bryan. Here is the new addition to the Jackson household. It takes my house from 63 to 72!!! I love this machine! For those of you who don't know what it is.....a beautiful pellet stove. they run on little wood pellets that burn and electricity to run the fan to blow the fan. Pellets come in 40# bags. LOVE THIS THING!!! The flames get high...what you see there is at start up. At start up too, it has a wonderful smell too. Oh I love this thing! Next winter we will have a wood burning stove down stairs too to help heat it down there and it will also cut down on the time this one runs. When running propane you have to come up with alternatives. It is pricey to run propane for your main source of heat!

Leave it to me to get the weird things! This is the second time in a mont that I have been "blessed" with this strange ailment! The last day of antibiotics (shot) last time was March 18th. I had started with Augmentin and that didn't work. They gave me a good shot of rochepin (a peanut butter shot) and that seemed to make a big difference quickly. I went back and got another, after the second I noticed remarkable improvement. I was SO excited! Then on Monday it started foming back. So it lasted two weeks. The next week we just did Rocephin shots. OUCH! I went round and round with the insurance company about an IV versus shots. The doctor recommended the IV because it would be less pain. I opted for the shot when I realized that the ER visit for 5 days would be about $400-500 a day. OUCH. So I got 5 rocephin shots that week. It was so much better by that Friday (18). YEAH! Fast forward to this past week. I was having similar pain and wrote it off as a sin

Brazil

Just over three weeks ago, I recieved a phone call as I was getting out of the car to pick up pizza. It was a interesting conversation.... Scott: Uh, Hon, they want me to go to Brazil. Me: REALLY!!!??? WOW! Scott: ya, the catch is it is for TWO WEEKS. Me: I WANNA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott: you don't even have a passport. Scott served his mission in Sao Paulo South and came home 21yrs ago! He has forgotten a lot of his Portuguese. His company wants him to go set up a firm down there with their products. Scott is a no brainer chioce...been there done that type thing. I have asked him many times he wanted to go back. He was never very excited about it. When the phone call came and his voice was exuberant, I KNEW he HAD to go. Two weeks alone with the kids or not, he NEEDED to go. I thought I would solve the no passport issue fast and said "you can be there for work, then I'll meet up with you!". Sounded perfect! It would take me two weeks minimum to get my pa

My friend Robin colored my hair today. The plan was to cut it too...that will be tomorrow if all goes well. So today she colored my hair and did my brows. I LOVE it! She parted it on the opposite side as normal for me. I like it though! Poor thing, I ran out of there fighting with Bryan, trying to get to the School for book fair duty and I didn't get the full effect of the new do as it was still really wet. I left with a "I can't tell if I like it yet, it is still too wet and dark". I think I had her thinking I didn't like it. It is dry now and I can see all three colors in it now. LOVE IT! Before!   After!   Thank you Robin! You Rock! Now I need to figure out something to do for you.
