Cosmetology School

It has been almost 20 years now since I graduated from high school. As always friends part their separate ways to pursue their own dreams in life. At that time my very best friend was Gretchin and her dream was to become a cosmetologist. She did pursue her dream and has been working in this profession for the past 18 years. I wonder if she had a school like regency, which was established in 2002, if she would have choosen to get her education here. Regency, which started as 2 schools in Minnesota, has grown to over 30 schools in nine states, is the fastest growing cosmetology school in the United States. I wonder is she would have Cosmetology school in South Carolina where her career could have taken her.

Turkey Hunting

John has been turkey hunting again this week. If it's not one type of animal it's another. You would think he would get so bored sitting out there doing nothing all evening....maybe it's the getting a way from home he enjoys. The girls and I drove out by where he is hunting and boy is it a walk to where his turkey blind is. I think its ridiculous that he will walk that far to hunt but won't go on a walk with his family. Guess it's all about priorities. Hope he gets one tonight because that means one more hunting season over with.

Long Day

It has just been one of those kind of days. Now that it is nighttime I can finally relax a little bit. Cole and Becca are spending the night with friends, that means two of four are gone for the night, so the house is a little less insane. Dru, who never likes to go to bed, actually went to bed early. It took driving around for a little while, but she is in bed sleeping. I just put Alli down too, so lets hope it stays quiet the rest of the night....mom really neeeds it.

Gold, Buy It

Right now with the economic crisis in Greece the markets have taken a turn for the worse, which means it is a good time to buy gold bullion. Typically when the markets go up the value of gold goes down or when the markets go down the value of gold goes up, however right now the value of gold is down which means a good investment for us. Gold historically has a trend of keeping and preserving its value, which is why investing in gold is a solid thing to do. Just because the markets are on a down hill trend doesn't mean we cannot take advantage of the lower value, which in the future will only help gold investment.

American Idol

What do we think about American Idol this week? Who's going home? I am hoping Crystal wins this year, she is doing very well. I also think that Casey is very good this year. I believe they could both get record deals today. I am looking forward to tomorrows show. The judges are kinda goofy this year, confusing the contestants with their wants. Go Crystal and Casey.

No Bedtime

Dru, who is two years old, just does not like going to bed. It is like pulling teeth to get her to lay down. She has come out of her room at least three times tonight. Ugh! We have tried music, TV, and just going to bed, nothing seems to work. We've tried short naps, long naps, and no naps...with no success. The only thing that sorta works is letting her play outside, but getting a nice day to do that is rare. I hope her stubbornness goes away soon.
