She has gone online and found Avista Resort to be a perfect top notch Myrtle Beach hotel for us both to stay at, and on her dime to boot! They have a great website at http://avistaresort.com that she found by spending some time on the computer at her work during her lunch breaks. We both like the beach and we both like to play golf, so it is a perfect match. And by going after Labor Day the prices aren’t as pricey and hopefully the place won’t be as crowded either.

It sounds good to me. I can take the time off, but I don’t have a lot of cash to throw around, so if she pays for the lodging I think I can manage the rest. I’m so excited, a girls weekend at the beach, gotta love it!

Sometimes I envy Jules, being so close to areas that have fun concerts. I know she already has bought New Meadowlands Stadium Ticketsto see Bon Jovi in concert! Imagine that, seeing Weird Al and Bon Jovi in the same week!

And she tells me that she is going to a college roomie reunion in Chicago this October; they’ve already bought Chicago Theatre Ticketsto see Cheech & Chong! She sure knows how to have a good time!

The biggest point of the gift, however, was the fact that inside the luggage was a travel brochure to Orlando, along with a couple of fake airplane tickets. I have to say that they were fake because he didn’t dare book a real trip without checking with me to see when I would be available to go on vacation with him. And we have to make arrangements for someone to look after his customers and our pets, and our gardens while we are gone. Anyway, it was a nice surprise, and now we need to buckle down and figure out the dates and work out the logistics of it all!

Well, out where I live, three miles is just spitting distance!  I was really glad that I had towing coverage on my car insurance policy! That coverage covers towing for a lot further. I was surprised a few weeks ago when my sister told me that doesn’t have emergency road service on any kind of auto insurance plan. She said that she told her agent that she needed really cheap car insurance and to give her the bare minimum required by law.  That really disappointed me to hear that; usually really cheap auto insurance leaves out something really important.  So folks, please do your research and make sure you are getting everything you need on your policy!

My sister-in-law just had some work done by a well known Los Angeles Dermatologist and couldn’t be happier. She just sent out a massive email to the family with some before and after pictures and I have to tell you that I’m impressed and would love to be able to check out some of the options that are out there with a laser. She sent a the link to a site called “We Love Skin” that had a lot of good information about dermatology that has really got me interested in checking into a few procedures that I’d love to have done.

If things go a little better in the near future I plan on going out west to visit my brother and his family. It has been too long since I’ve seen any of them. Maybe my tax return will help things along. I could stay there, visit and possibly have some Los Angeles Laser Hair Removal done at the same place that she had her procedure done at. Kill two birds with one stone so to speak. I think that I’d come home with a better attitude.

I do know that I have got everything that I need to last at least 4 days and I say “Bring It On!”

I have been thinking that it is time for me to have a newer address sign, the one that I have in place right now isn’t too awfully bad but it could use an updated version that would look right nice on the front of the house. I’ve been looking online for different types of address plaques and have found several that I’d really like to get. Maybe my tax refund check can be used for a few things just like this for around the place, that would be nice. Just wish I could get all the paperwork together and go over to my sister’s house so that she can do my taxes for me again this year. I’m still waiting on two more items to come in the mail and off I will go. I have some big plans for that money.
