Bethany and the baby are here for the night and so is my nephew. Making our house pretty full. We picked up a stack of movies, some thing for everyone and then this evening we ordered pizza for dinner. It’s been a great time. I love these kinds of weekends.

I even bought Jiffy popcorn to pop on the stove burner. Remember those, the ones you shake? I thought they would be fun for the kids. Well, I was wrong. Allison was too scared to hold hers and I had to pull my nephew back from placing his face right above his about a dozen times. It took about ten minutes and we finally heard a little sizzling and then they just burned. It was the worst smell. Oh well. I had good intentions.  Lets hope my plan for homemade pan cakes goes better in the morning.

Here in our office we just started to do a lot of heavy hauling between us here in Michigan and some areas in Canada and Mexico. For years we having been making heavy machine parts for mostly the automakers here in the US. Recently we have been doing some research into using a new freight company after using the same local company for over ten years. It would be nice to change over to a company that has more experience in out of the country trucking and heavy hauling. Not that the company we have been using doesn’t do a good job when we ship “local” but when it comes to shipping to Mexico, it’s been one big headache. I think it is time to make a change. I think we need some one like LGI (Logistics Group International Mexico). A company that is established on both sides of the border.  LGI also provides “door-to- door” service. This provides a worry free, single bill and that sounds great to me right now. It also includes customs brokerage fees. Sounds like a good change to me.

My daughter Bethany is really in to watching The Hills. After less then ten minutes of being in the room while she is watching it I have to say it has to be the most stupid show I have ever seen. 

Not much to blog about today so I thought I would share these couple of videos of Stone Temple Pilots performing on Jimmy Kimmel.

‘Trippin On a Hole in a Paper Heart’

‘Vasoline’

The 90’s were a great time for me personally and this music really takes me back. Takes me back to my 20’s. Right back to the many fun nights I shared with my sister. I think I will always love it because of that.

I can not get over what a fantastic birthday I have had this year. I have never felt so lucky or so loved. Now as a gift from my husband I am doing some shopping online to help spruce up our living room. First on my list is new Window Blinds. We have a large picture window that faces the front of the house and I have always wanted to add vertical blinds to it, like these. They look so nice and can really add a great look to our living room. They will be the finishing touch after we paint. I am so excited !
