Favorite Bathrooms

  • Home Sweet Home
  • When I'm @ someones house: the one farthest away from the crowd
  • @ the Mall: Macy's (as public bathrooms go this one is very nice)
  • If I can't make it to Macy's...JC Penney's will have to do (they recently remodeled so it is better than it was. I don't know why they didn't ask for my input???)
  • Monterey Bay Fish Grotto in Monroeville has a great bathroom
  • Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, My fav place to vacation, their rooms have the most wonderful bathrooms

Happy Easter

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless Babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save

? Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory
Sin? s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From a life? s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man
Could ever pluck me from His hand
? Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I stand

A Crohnie's Dream Come True

For a Crohnie running out of toilet paper is a nightmare!!! So I felt I should share this with all my fellow Crohnies and intestinally challenged peeps:

Free Toilet Paper!!!

I found this while I was Sweeping (as in sweepstakes)

I highly recommend becoming a Sweeper. Here is my latest prize:



I've tried her Glowing Green Smoothie and it tastes a lot better then it sounds. I like it and I have to say I've been following her advice and I feel better. I have already been gluten and dairy free so adding her other recommendations for my diet has been easy so far.

Jumping Through Hoops / Thanks Careone

I had to jump through a few more hoops to get the 50% off the repair of my camera. I spent a good part of Tuesday morning on the phone with several people until I finally got them to actually give me the 50% off they promised hubby. Geeezzz so my camera is getting fixed but I have no idea when I will get it back. They mentioned 10 days for repairs. I hope it doesn't take that long.

In the meantime I have continued to do my sweepstakes and I have won lots more stuff hee hee hee. I will post pictures of my prizes as they arrive.

Here is what I got a few days ago.


A $50 American Express Gift Card!!! Thanks Careone

Not Happy Sony...Not Happy at all!!!

Well the rest of the baseball week went well. The team won 4 of 7 games. B's ankle was feeling better so he played 3 innings and it started to hurt again :(

I spent a good bit of time trying to figure out what was wrong with my camera without any luck. Not Happy!

Back at home now I went to a camera shop to have it looked at. They were stumped as well. He checked with the place they use for repairs and...are you sitting down...they stopped making my camera so this place won't even attempt to fix it...Great. Not Happy!

So I called Sony. Their flat rate for repairs is...are you still sitting down...$265.00!!! I spent a lot of money on this camera, I have only had it for 15 months and now I have to pay $265 to get it fixed. Not Happy! Enter Hubby..."What!!! Give me their phone number and all the camera information". 45 minutes later they are sending me pre-paid shipping labels and giving us 50% off the flat rate. Aren't Hubbies wonderful! This is all great but $132.50 is still a lot to pay. They should be doing it for free. An $800 camera should last more than 15 months. Not Happy!

I packed it up and shipped it off to them. I hope they get it back to me quickly.

One thing is for sure. I won't ever buy another Sony camera or anything Sony for that matter. Not Happy!!!

Don't Hate / Ipad2 Giveaway Ends Today!!!

Don't hate me for what I'm about to say!!!

I'm sitting in my hotel room looking out at the beautiful ocean. I could sit here all day. It's been very chilly here in FL but it is suppose to warm up tomorrow.

I know...you are asking yourself shouldn't she be on a baseball field right now??? They only have one game today and it is at 7:00 pm. I am going to have to take my winter coat.

They split with E-Town yesterday. Lost the first game 9-2 and won the second game 31-4. Neither of my boys are playing right now :( J has re-injured his pitching arm and Brian sprained his ankle last weekend in their first game @ waynesburg. We were hoping he would be ok for the trip but it is still hurting and better to wait till it heals. Maybe by the end of the week. In the meantime I was still planning on shooting the whole game as usual but in the middle of the first inning my camera just shut off and will not turn back on. No it is not the battery, I have two and they were both fully charged. I've done some research and tried some tips but so far nothing. It looks like I will be taking it to a camera store when we get back to see if it can be fixed. Of course the camera store that I bought it from a little over a year ago has closed so I don't know if anyone will honor my extended warranty.

So here are a few pics I got before the untimely death of my camera:
