Yet another brief update

So the biopsy is scheduled for Thursday. I really wish that they could find out while they were doing the biopsy and then do the surgery. Poor boy is not going to like this. Hopefully we know soon and can get the whole thing over with. It would be nice to have him "fixed" and who knows, maybe he'll start growing!

T is definitely a threenager and is trying our patience. He refuses to listen, or will purposely do something he knows he's not supposed to and then apologize. Somebody please tell me this is a phase. He used to listen and behave when we were out in public. Not so much now. I can only take away toys so many times before it becomes ineffective. He remembers why the toys were taken away-he tells our visitors what he did to have them taken away-and yet, he still does the same actions. I really hope this is a phase. (did I mention that?)

I'm pretty sure the mail lady thinks I'm nuts. I receive packages almost everyday now from Amazon. I can't help it that I get cool things to review, and then I need to also purchase necessities like diapers and my peach drink! ;) I received another selfie stick this week. It's nice to be able to compare them. This one has piece that protects the phone, AND it comes with a bluetooth remote! I have to say that I really like the remote feature. T does too. He had me hold the selfie stick and then he went nuts pressing the button on the remote. The actual design of the selfie stick is pretty much the same, but the fact that this came with a remote made it better. I am keeping this one in my bag for when we're out and about so I can try it out a little more. It also came with a small tripod. It says it can be used for phones, but I'm not sure. I know my small point and shoot camera will work in it, so that's cool. 

Today I received a portable aromatherapy diffuser. I have started using essential oils here and there, and the original diffuser I bought back in November broke. The thing cost lots of money and it didn't even last 2 months! I was ticked. So, I was happy to receive the one today to try out. It is a smaller diffuser, uses just a small amount of water, but can be run with a phone charger (if you have the right kind of phone-I found my kindle charger would work), batteries, or the power adapter that was included. I plugged this in right after putting C to bed and it ran for about 2.5 hours. It has a nice LED light that changes colors-so it worked kind of like a nightlight for awhile. When it ran out, it shut itself off. No noises. Just shut itself off. I like that. I'm thinking this might be my solution to diffusing. It's easy to relocate from room to room, I don't have to worry about spilling a ton of water, and it looks nice too! Yay! And on that note, I diffused some lavender, so my room is smelling nice and calming, so I think I'll go to bed. Night everyone!

Happy New Year, World!

So, it's been over 6 months since I've last blogged. I apologize for that, but for those of you who do read my blog, most of you know what's been going on since you're also friends with me on Facebook. (Well, your friends with me in general, it just so happens that you are *also* FB friends.)

Since July, in a nutshell, I have started and stopped working as a fine jewelry associate for Macy's, gone on several outings with the JoKeRMob, found a new job at Howard's Jewelry Center in Parma Heights, downsized to a queen size bed, had a car die, and get a new car. Please note that it is new to us, it has 161K miles on it and is a 2001 Dodge Stratus, so it is not new. Doesn't sound like much, but honestly, that's a lot! Really, that bed thing is a big adjustment, don't knock it 'til you try it!

I plan on posting updates more frequently this year-as in maybe once a week. Joe and I carpool to work, so on those days when I go to the library to spend time, maybe I'll update my blog. We'll see. So far I've been trying out new restaurants in the area and shopping.

For now, this is all I'm going to post. I was supposed to go to bed an hour ago, but due to some technical difficulties, I'm still up. I'm hoping to go to bed very soon!
