Never once

Never have I once had to buy montecristo cigars, though if I did, I'd surely shop online for them! I am so funny about searching online before I buy anything! I always feel like I can get a much better deal if I look online first! Usually the local places can't beat the price online, though with shipping charges and wait time some times its worth going for the local. Though I do like to support the mom and pop stores around- so they can stay in business, I find myself shopping at places that are fast and easy!

FORE!

My husband is a golfer. He likes the game and says its relaxes him. He took me one time back in 2000. We went to a local par 3 that is no longer in service (due to Katrina) It was fun, but not relaxing. I didn't know a thing about golf, so it took twice as long to play 18 holes as the average person. I'm always looking out for gifts for my honey, and usually I don't buy sports equipment or fishing gear because I don't know the "Best" kind to buy. He does all the research and buys what he needs. I did see online something about a golf gps. I thought that if he wanted one we'd have to search for the best golf gps at the best price. There are so many courses all over the country, it would be neat to have a GPS that would help you navigate to the best courses and then once you are on the course the best way to play that course. I like sports and hobbies, but would rather be taking photos of those playing sports than actually playing them myself! It's been years since I've tried anything! Chris played on a church softball league this summer. He has enjoyed it. I haven't even made it to one game yet. Bad wife- I know. But with three kids and a new house- it's a time killer for me!Maybe I can make it to a make up game next week. They had two games get rained out so maybe I will catch at least one- if anything for the fellowship with the other ladies and kids.

Traveling

Every time I travel from Mississippi to North Carolina, I always hope that I won't need emergency road service. I always see people on the roads broken down and I usually pray for them. I know what it is like to be stranded on the roadside. When we took our first trip in our van 2 years ago we had a flat tire before we got out of the state! I was ready to turn around and go back home. It took us 6 hours to get down the road when normally it only takes two hours to get from my moms to the state line. I never thought we'd make it to Mississippi! I've been stranded a few times in my life time, enough to know that it pays to have some kind of emergency road service. We use to have it on our phones. It was a nice plan to have for only $5 extra per month. It covered the owner of the phone, so it didn't matter who's car it was, as long as the owner of the phone was there they would service you. They don't have that plan on our new phone system. But thankfully we have family nearby and friends to help us when we get stranded!

Mexico

I remember going to Mexico a few years ago and seeing where people go to buy prescription drugs and little cost. I can't imagine gong there to buy weight loss pills though. I'd have to get those from a certifiable place. I would be scared to get them from just anyone! Even my vitamins that I take I make sure they dissolve in a cup of water before adding them to my stomach. I suppose I am just paranoid about medications going into my system! I have always tried to be cautious of even the OTC medicine that I put in my system. I try to research medicine that a doctor may give me too, I don't just open it and start taking it! I suppose I could trust them more, but it never hurts to do your homework!

Flags

I love flags. I have always loved the different flags that represent all the countries in the world. I love learning the history of flags too! I am excited about my new house for many reason, one being that it will be OURS and several of the amazing fetures! I noticed the last time we were out there they have a flag holder on the front part of the house! I'm excited about flying different flags! I like the American flag best, so I will start my collection with that and go from there! I was looking at the flags on Vistaflags.com and noticed they have great deals on advertising flags and banners! Chris was suppose to hang a banner up today at our church but they sent the wrong size! So he will have to wait another week before it can go up! I need to let him check out this other site! Maybe we can get something printed for our youth group! We are changing the night we meet starting this next week.

It's been years!

It has been years since I've attempted to play on a ping pong table ! When I worked for the YMCA day camp I use to battle the kiddos. They always one. I would hit the ball too hard. I like Tennis but I'm not good at it either! I don't move fast enough! I do enjoy goofing off now and again playing Tennis with my husband but he knows not to try to hit it too hard or I will scream! I don't scream much with ping pong. I laugh mostly at myself! I remember watching Forrest Gump as a teen and seeing them play ping pong and thinking that was impossible to play like that! Of course I learned that people really do play like that! Just not people like me!
