Perplexus Maze Game by PlaSmart, Inc.

I ran across this while surfing.  My Dad loves puzzles.  I was wondering if any one has tried this and if it would be good for an adult.  Please leave a comment about your thoughts on this.

There are a couple of version.  But the original has 100 levels.  Most of the others have less.

Migraines

As I mentioned in several post, I have chronic migraines.  Which means I have migraines over 15 times a month.  I am on daily medications and it has taken the migraines down to 2-3 a week.   We have tried several different things.  It is a work in process.  I have bad days and good days.  Today, I had the Radio Frequency Ablation.  The doctor has warned me that I could have 2 or 3 days of pain afterwards.  It has been 4 hours now and I am beginning to come out of the sedation.  There is some pain but it isn't too bad.  I hope it stays that way.  I will keep you posted.




Week in Review

I didn't do a week in review on Friday so I thought I would do it now.  I am going to stop on Friday so when I do this week's, it will be a full week.

It was a busy week so I didn't get as much done on the website as I would have like.  This week should be better.  I am already working on my Menu Possibilities.

 Monday - I started a new posting on the recipe page, it is going to be called Menu Planning Monday.  You can find the first posting over on the recipe page.  I hope you will be able to find some menu ideas.  I also played around in the kitchen, the results are also on the recipe page.

Wednesday - As I said, I was busy this week, so my Random Thoughts were small.  I just didn't have time to think or jot down any thoughts.  My husband's boss had surgery this week and I wanted to make her a card so you can find it over on the stamping page.

Even with everything going on, I managed to get the Photo A Day pictures.  I was late posting some of them but they are all there.  Now to get this week's pictures done.  There are also some sunset pictures.  I just love catching a pretty sunset.  One of these days, I will get up in time to get a sunrise.

Randomness

Today is normally the day, I list just random thoughts.  This week has gone by so fast.  I really haven't had time to think. 

1)  Everyone is catching the flu.  I do not want to catch it.  I am trying to stay away from it.  Hopefully I can get through the winter without it.

2)  It snowed a little bit this week.  It barely covered the ground.  If it is going to snow, I wish we would get at least three or four inches.  However, I do not like the temperatures being the single digits.

That is it for now...Have a good rest of the week.

This Week In Review

I thought I would use one of my photo a day shots for the home page.  It is cold here in Michigan and I thought it would brighten things up.

Monday - I came home from work and just relaxed.  I really didn't feeling like doing alot so it was a good thing that my house was straightened for the most part.  After dinner (Pull Pork), I got a little energy and went into my craft room.  You will find some ideas for making tic tac mint holders on the stamping page.  Then there is the Photo A Day pictures and a new recipe over the recipe page.  I also worked on some menu possibilities.

Tuesday - I found a great chart for saving money.  I have it posted on the main page.  I hope I will be able to stick with it.  There is also some things I want to work on over the next year.  I am going to try and review this list at the first of each month so I can see how I am doing.

Wednesday - I had a migraine most of the day so I haven't gotten a lot done, but I did add my "Kitchen Gadget" article.  I looked at crock-pots this week and included some recipes.  We may see crock-pots again.  I just keep seeing them everyone I go.

There is a new card over on the Stamping page.  I did a patriotic one to send to some of our military friends.  I am just so proud of them for serving our country and I wanted them to know I was thinking of them.

Friday - Check out the Menu Possibilities over on the recipe page.  You might be able to find a new recipe for dinner. 

I also add a links page.  Right now, it only has cooking links but I will be adding more.

Sorry I forgot to post this yesterday.

Random Thoughts

I am sitting here surfing the web.  I should go to bed but I just don't want to.  Since I have an migraine I think I will just keep surfing the web.  I am adding to my favorite sites.  There are just so many great ones out there.  I am thinking about deleting the "Health and Fitness Page" and adding a favorite link page. 

Here are my random thoughts for now. 

1)  The weather on Saturday was warm and cloudy.  Here in Michigan, it reached a high of 58.  I know that sounds warm but it was still chilly.  I wish the sun had come out.  Overnight the temperatures dropped to 32.  Welcome to Michigan.

2)  I stayed up super late on Friday Night.  I so enjoy the quiet house.  I managed to get the whole house straightened and all the clothes washed.  It was nice going into the weekend with a clean house.

3)  I have been doing the Photo A Day challege for a little over a week and I must say I am enjoying it.  It is so much fun.  It takes less than 5 minutes usually.

That is it for now.  I will get better with these random thoughts.

Things to do in 2013

I will admit that I have trouble coming up with topics for my blog but I love to surf the web and I get all kinds of ideas.  I ran across one today.  It was over on Fat Mum Slim's site.

In one of her post, she makes a list of 20 ordinary things to do in 2013.  I decided to take the list and change around to fit my goals.  I didn't come up with 20 things but I did come up with a few.

1. Come up with several topics for the blog.  
   Like I said this is hard for me, so I am trying to keep the blog active.  Please feel free to send me any suggestions.

2. Dance to your favorite song
   I love music.  Last year for Christmas (2011), my husband got me a surround sound system for the living room.  I want to turn the music on more often and just enjoy the music.

3. Plan a holiday
   I don't want to really plan a holiday as much as I want to make more time for my husband.  Either here at the house or just taking a weekend from time to time.

4. Make and send out more cards
   I use to make a lot of cards.  I haven't had the time lately, but I want to start again. 

5. Plan menus better.
   Make it easier to get meals done.

6. Spend more time with friends.

7. Read more. 
   It is relaxing and I need to relax more.

8. Save Money.
   At the end of the year, I want to have some extra money put back.

9. Do more kind acts.
   Last year, I read an article about doing random acts of kindness.  I really want to do this.  I would like to do at least one a month.  Which means, I need to do one soon.

10. Take more pictures.
   I know my son is going to hate this, so I am going to do the Photo A Day challenge and maybe it will take the pressure off of my son.  He just hates having his picture taken.
