Advents Corner

I know Bloggerwave has had problems in the past but they have been resolved.  I joined Bloggerwave a while ago and I took 4 opps with them.  I have been paid for one but not the other three.  I have been trying to log into Bloggerwave to not only check for opps but to see if there is any issue with payment again but I have not been able to.  When I enter my username and password it gives me “user not found”.  Did they close up shop?  I am not worried about the payment at this point, don’t be me wrong I would love to get paid the $30 they owe me, I am more concerned about the fact that I can not log on anymore.I have sent emails but I have not received a response on any of them and even before when I was filling the opps if I emailed them I would not get a response.  Is there anyone else out there that is having this problem or is it just me?   

First it was homecoming and now it is the prom.  Michaela and I have already started looking for prom dresses because it will be here before you know it.  Prom dresses with a hard to fit shape or Plus Size Prom Dresses can be hard to come by.  Start your shopping now to make sure you get the dress of your dreams.

Michaela starts her job at Firehouse today.  I was asking her what she wanted for Christmas last night and she said her car.  I told her that she would probably not be getting her car until after the first of the year.  I did say that maybe for Christmas I could buy her the floor mats and things for her car so when she did get it she would have all of the stuff for it.  I am just scared about her getting a car, that is like the final step in growing up and I don’t think I am ready for that.

Christmas shopping is getting closer at hand and what I hate to think about is the fact that most of the gifts we are going to give this year are going to be returned or end up in a drawer somewhere never to be seen again. What about giving a holiday gift this year that keeps giving?  Something that actually has meaning and a purpose behind it.  Purchase a holiday gift from the Alzheimer’s Foundation Store and not only will you get a high quality gift with meaning behind it but all of the proceeds benefit the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. If you can not find a gift in the shop, think about giving a donation in that persons name to the foundation.  People to not give to charity in other people’s name because they may think the person they are giving for will think bad of them, but maybe they will be thankful for the chance you gave them to help someone.

I believe that Alzheimer’s is one of the most devastating diseases because not only does it take away the life of the sufferer but it takes the life of the caregiver. They give so much of themselves with little reward or no reward. It must be so heart breaking to give your body and soul to someone and they not even remember who you are. The only thing sufferers have left is their dignity and it is because of the caregivers’ selflessness that they are able to keep that when everything else in their life is fading so fast. Just think the joy you will get out of knowing that your hard earned money is also going to a wonderful cause.  Wouldn’t you rather spend your money there than at Wal-Mart.Please give a donation or make a purchase from the Alzheimer’s Foundation store this year, it is a gift that will be remembered. 

It is finally hump day.  Lani is starting to get sick.  We have had 2 weeks of cold weather and she already has a little cold.  Hopefully that is what it will stay is a little cold.  Daddy will stay home with her tomorrow if she wakes up sicker.  He leaves for LA next weeks so she can not get sick.
