My wife has been talking about setting up her own business as a Personal Chef.  I teased her at first, telling her that she’s a horrible cook.  She got pretty mad at me about that!  Probably because I was teasing her in front of friends.  My bad.  Now that she’s explained it to me, I think it is a fine idea and I think she would do a great job at it!  She said she would meet with her client to determine their wants/needs, and set up a menu for a week.  She would go do the grocery shopping for the food, take it to their house and cook it there at their house, using their pots, pans, and dishes.  She would put all of the food in the refrigerator with reheating directions attached.  And that would take care of their dinners for a whole week.  For that she would charge the cost of the groceries and $200.  If she could get a couple of clients each week, that would be great!

My wife was cleaning out our bedroom earlier today and found some partially used Disney World Tickets in her memory box.  She showed them to me and said that she was pretty sure that there was still a day or two left on them that we could use the next time we go to DisneyWorld.  DisneyWorld is our favorite vacation destination.  We never get tired of going there!  Our favorite park is Epcot Center; I love driving the race cars and going through The Land rides.  The shows are fantastic too.

We went to DisneyWorld for our honeymoon, and we’ve gone there once since then.  Our favorite memory is when we went to the Epcot Center and they had a “living statue” there.  We were watching a crowd gather around the statue and saw that people were posing for pictures with the statue.  The statue looked so real – it was all white like a marble statue, but every now and then it would move just a little bit.  There was an attendant there picking out people to come out and pose with the statue and the attendant took their cameras an snapped their pictures with their own camera and then hand it back.

The attendant picked my wife and I out of the crowd to come and pose with the statue.  So we stood in front of the statue, smiling for the camera.  Then before you knew it the statue was grabbing our heads and mushing our faces together so we were kissing for the picture!  What a riot!  Everyone in the crowd was laughing!  And the picture came out great too!

You know, thinking about that vacation is definitely making me want to go there again soon! I guess I’ll be getting in touch with orlandofuntickets.com to see about getting more tickets to go there soon!

My wife has been looking for a job for over a year now.  Her parents live nearby and they run a store.  They keep telling her that they are shorthanded and that they need help.  She keeps offering to help them.  They keep telling her that they don’t want her because she can’t lift 50 pounds repeatedly.  I think that is bull.  If they need help that badly I think that they can make some kind of arrangement to let her work and help out without having to lift that much weight – team lifting would be a good answer!  It is very frustrating to sit and watch this happening, but I have to keep out of it, which is hard to do!

Its getting so that almost everyone I know has a home alarm of some kind in their house.  My mother-in-law just recently installed a monitored home security system in her place after her next door neighbors house was broken into.  We all felt that was “too close for comfort” and encouraged her to put in an alarm system; especially since she is elderly and lives alone in an area where her house is not easily seen from the road.  It really could be quite dangerous for her safety if some criminal broke into her home – he could do a lot of damage and no one would know about it!

I have to say that I’m very disappointed about how much weight the passing of one entertainer has in the presentation of the news. There are a lot of things going on in this world that is newsworthy, but the news is focused mainly on the passing of Michael Jackson. Yes he WAS a great entertainer, and I’m sorry that he has died but he really should not be the biggest story we are hearing about! I will be glad when the news media finds something else to report on!
