Get the Picture

I still can't, I haven't gotten a camera yet and it's frustrating having to borrow one all the time. It's been so long since mine died that I think there's been at least three upgrades to digital cameras by now. LOL! I am glad that the prices are affordable for most people now, even if it's not for me. I'm hoping that there will be some great deals soon and if not I can wait for Black Friday. That is a little ways away but I'll do almost anything for a good deal.

Vation Commercials

I remember the first commercial I saw when we got satellite, it was for Branson vacation packages. I thought it was kind of funny and I wondered if we had one here too. It wasn't long before I saw the two that were done for California and I thought they represented us pretty well. I think they could have done a little better in showing our culture and diversity though. The one that's saddened me a little is the one for Florida where they talk about the miles of beaches and how you can go to the site to see them for yourself. This oil disaster is really much more than that and it has affected so many people. With no end in sight it's hard to imagine the amount of stress those poor people have with uncertain futures. It's just too sad.

Plan of "Attack"

I really hope that with meds DH can finally start working and actually keep a job again. The plan is to get through the month of side effects and for him to go out job hunting. God only knows how long it will take him to find something suitable for him but I know he really wants and needs to work. I think everybody needs to feel a sense of purpose and having a job is really the easiest way to fulfill that. If for some reason things don't work out this way we can try getting him social security disability insurance. Once he's diagnosed and medicated that really shouldn't be that hard since people with bipolar disorders normally aren't able to keep a job. We just figure it might be better for all of us if he tries a job first and take it from there. *fingers crossed!*

Summer, Summer, Summertime!

Wow, it's been a crazy school year and it's finally over. It's really quite bittersweet for me since Yes-Yes will be going to high school next and No-No is determined to be a brat the whole time he's home. She really thinks he's just there for her entertainment...poor kid. He's trying to plan something to do almost everyday so he doesn't have to be home the whole time with her. I don't blame him. LOL

On another note...DH is finally getting some help and medication this Thursday. We've had to postpone two appointments already because of schedule conflicts so that was disappointing. I'm really glad he's going and hope things work out the way we need them to this time.

I can't wait for things to start looking up and clam down some. I haven't been able to work in about two months and things are starting to look pretty grim again. On top of that I can almost see Christmas coming already and that really just makes it worse!
