So tomorrow we lose and hour. This is the hubbys fave time change and my least fave. I don't mind the extra light outside and all that's included in that. I just don't understand why some states participate in the time change and some don't. Do we have a choice? Come to think of it......why is Tallahassee a different time zone? These things shouldn't be on my mind at all, I know but as I was throwing out the reminder of time change on FB I thought I would write about it.
Sunday is the day that I get up the earliest through the week. We have vocal practice at 7:30 am. So now I'm gonna get up at 5:30? Whaaaaa? That should be against the law. lol Sunday is a day of rest. Right? I'm thinking it may be a coffee two cupper??
Anywho, if you like this time change then good for you. If you don't then you are not alone. If you didn't know it was happening then you're welcome. Or you may just not care. Hope you all have a great day and enjoy the extra day light.
O n fyi..........Easter is April 20th this year. It was usually around this time change that's how I would remember. One around Easter and one around Halloween. Who decides this? I'm telling ya it's annoying.
Carry on...
Peace, Candy

Weather Weirdness
So I don't know why it boggles my brain so much about the different weather situations we have been having in the US of A....It does though.
How can it be 82 here in Florida and like 10 in MO where my bff lives? They are on their fourth snow day this week. It's Thursday for those of you that don't wanna do the math.
I saw this post of FB earlier......Store closed due to Mega Winterpocalypse Snowmageddon Def Con 4 Killstorm 2014. I thought this was hysterical. Sounds like someone is a lil bitter.
But rest assured people.Yesterdays 82 is todays cloudy, rainy, 57. The groundhog is saying 6 more weeks of winter. You literally just have to check on a day to day basis.
Last week our heater was broke for 5 days with a plethora of problems. We got it fixed and one day later it hit 80 again. By the way, I learned a few things during that time...1. I have no long sleeve pjs or pj pants that are long...2.My robe is not as long as I thought...3.Opening the oven for your main source of heat is NOT ideal....It was 40 here people. We have a cold wet 40 so don't judge.
I also find it funny that people get so, shall we say uptight about the weather. I live in Florida. We are not prepared for cold. Also, even if I lived in the cold we would have another source of heat. The biggest thing that makes me laugh was, well be glad your not up north. Ummmm I'm pretty sure the people up north are not in houses that got down to 59 degrees.
But I digress.....
When its hot as H E double hockey sticks in August I will be sure to say, Well be glad you don't live in Florida.......Ps. Normally its not 100 degrees in your house here either. ;)
Stay warm people. Or if you live in Florida stay cool. Well maybe next week.
Peace, Candy

Happy New Year!!!
Well it has definitely been awhile since my last post. Dec. 5th which is soooo 2013. I guess I had to get used to the swing of things working and all the holiday stuff of course.
Anywho, what is to tell? One big exciting thing is my daughter got engaged on Christmas Eve. The cool part was we were all there to witness and take pics.
So not only do we have that to look forward too this year but I have a son graduating high school, one turning 13, (ugh my baby is gonna be a teenager) and my youngest grandson will have his first birthday in May. We are also goin to try to fit in my hubbys grandmas 90th birthday celebration in PA.
My band has alot of stuff on the calendar this year as well and it's growing. Playing out alot more.
All the while I am still trying to keep my bike riding up. Moved it inside now though because of the 32 degrees, high 45. Yes, I still live in Florida. Pan handle got snow so we are doing alright here.
I do want to mention our heater was broken with a plethora of things wrong with it. That was a cold few days. Lucky that our band leader is a Heat/AC guy. (usually AC is first in the name)
Looking forward to some adventures this year. I will of course tell you all about them.
As of now the family is in good health and my hot rod building hubby is keeping busy.
Ps. My highlight this month was the hubby painted the bedroom furniture finally. I say finally cause it was 2012 when he said he would first do it. Got to love a $16.00 make over. Again, he's been busy. =)

Elf On A Shelf
Okay so this is the first day I have had off where I can actually sip my coffee and write a lil something to you all. Of course I am well aware that it is December 5th and probably the last time I will get to do it this year. I have presents to wrap, new list to make, and a house to get somewhat organized. But for now.......
So I love this idea of Elf on a shelf. My youngest is 12 so we do not do this. I did show him and he said the elf freaked him out. (my other kids are afraid of clowns and dolls so this may be hereditary) I do have to laugh though at the extreme measures that some of these elf moms go to.
I had a friend recently say that her one elf mom was posting these extravagant post of what their elf was up to while in the meantime my friend could barely remember to get hers out of the attic. I did remind her, however, that she did just open a new business, has a small children and her fb friend was not working at this time. Now for those of you that are doing it all.........Good for you. Those that can't quite do it all........you are okay too. We still love you and there is no need to doubt your role as a "good mom." If some days the elf laying in the silverware drawer then so be it.
Carry on elf moms. Remember though as far as I know you will not be awarded for your elf shelving escapades so relax. =)

Bittersweet........
So my baby boy, actually he's my oldest, his love, and my youngest grandson, he's six months, are moving to North Carolina on Thursday. Even know I'm excited about their Journey I am a little sad because the baby is so young and they grow so fast I feel like I will be missing some good stuff. I am very thankful however, that my parents come down a lot and so they can ride with them and also of course modern technology, Skype, Face time, Facebook, and just actual pictures being text to me seem to make it a little more doable.
It's an odd feeling to watch your children grow up anyways but it's really weird to watch them start their own families. Its like this is happening all at once for some reason. I think it's because my daughter just moved in May and other son in January. Ugh you all know how I don't like change.
I will make the best of it though. The last time my oldest moved up to NC to check it out because his father is up there........I had a massage gift certificate and I spent the day at the spa crying in the whirlpool. lol
Well as luck would have it, (or maybe God knew I'm gonna need it) I have another gc that I thought had since expired two and a half years ago. So you know what I will be doing.
For today though I'm gonna chew on this kids cheeks.

I'll Get It.............
Boy I guess we are jumping into the busy season in October. Always thought I started in November. Guess I better gear up. I am sitting here with a cup of coffee trying to stay warm. It's 54 out and I know that really isn't cold to most of the world but I am very chilly for some reason.
This week was filled with the opening of the baby store I just started working for, party planning, party itself, and our band played at a festival. We have our 3rd festival in a row coming up this Saturday. Whew!
My biggest obstacle right now is trying to get in a routine. I have forgotten library books, taking out dinner, my jacket at the festival...(for those of you that know me, I NEVER forget my jacket) and alot of other things I'm sure that I already forgot. lol
Guess I better make a Christmas list too. That in itself is stressful. Four grand kids this year. Nobody panic. Hope to get back on here soon. I may forget. Bare with me........
