The husband told me I need to go back to school soon. He urges me to think of a course I could take that I could base a career later on. He said this is for me and our kids. I know he only means well. And I do want to go back to school but I don’t know if I will ever be ready. I am setting my sights on being a nurse since I have read and heard that health care jobs are good career moves as of the moment. I just don’t know if I am build to be one though. We will see in the future. I really have to make a choice soon because time is running and I am getting older. Perhaps he can even help me make a decision.

I have heard from my uncle who I have not talked for a long time. He said he is still working on a cruise ship (he has been for years) but instead of the usual Royal Caribbean cruise ship that he worked on for years, he is now working on a ship that goes to Alaska. It is still a cruise ship but with a different route. We reconnected through Facebook. He told me news about him and his wife, who actually is my father’s sister. I am happy he is still working because he said they need the money to finish the construction of their house. I hope to be able to visit them when my family go on vacation in the future. Him and his wife said we could stay in their place if we want which is a good deal because it means it is free, lol. I have been calling my aunt after I talked to her husband and he gave me their new phone number. I am glad to have heard from them again after a long time. It is always nice to talk to family.

I have a big plan that needs to be worked on in the next few days. The husband gives me his full support and we are hoping this endeavor will be fast and will bear good result. It does include money so it needs to work or else it will be a waste. I am personally involved and the result solely depends on me. I hope I will emerge victorious. There is nothing better than to get good news especially if the result has an effect on what the future will hold. I will end up here before I give away what we are planning on. Please help me pray that I will get what I want.

The husband showed me how to make elephant ears the easy way. One that does not involve mixing flour and all that work. He told me to buy regular biscuit from the store, the kind that comes in cans. Then he told me to flatten the biscuit by hand (unfortunately we do not have a rolling pin), fry it, then sprinkle sugar (I do not have cinnamon either) in it. The result? The same thing that is sold at the fair. And being me, I scolded him for not telling me it was that easy. I could have had lots of elephant ears all this time. His excuse was that he did not know I wanted it that bad. Not wanted it? After trying to convince him to bring me to the fair just to get another taste of elephant ears knowing it costs $5 a piece? Sometimes my man can be dense. But at least he already rectified that mistake and since I don’t hold a grudge that long anyway (and I have easy access to elephant ears) I let it go. I already had my share of the day so we do not have to go to the fair anymore. That did save him a lot of money. On another note, he told me he is bored. He said he misses the beach and that he would like to go and stay a few nights on an ocean front motel. That was unexpected. I already know he will miss the beach when we moved but I did not know it will be that bad. I asked him if he is fine going to another place since I have heard about Branson Missouri vacation packages and he asked me if there was a beach nearby that place. Well, I will have to check on that. What I think is that he is missing not only the beach but the city as well. We used to live in a big city near the beach and when you compare that to where we are at now it really is different. Hopefully we will get to go on vacation some day just to check on the old place we lived in. We both are keeping our fingers crossed.

I have heard through the grapevine (lol) that the fair is coming to town. Yes, the county fair is set to start tonight and that means food. Notice I only am interested on one thing here? Well, I am not fond of rides or games that one can see at the fair. I have had enough of that (and probably better than what they offer here) growing up. What I am interested in is the food and not just any food but only one in particular- the elephant ears. The first time I tasted it was about four years ago in the south. I thought it was the most wonderful thing at the time. I like the taste, it reminds me of the bread I am so used to eating back home. And when I think about it real hard I realized it tastes just like the fried doughnuts that was popular where I came from. No wonder I love elephant ears! I have not had it in a long time and I am drooling to get one or two serving. I told the husband we need to go tonight (just to get elephant ears) but he said he is tired so we might have to do it tomorrow. It is okay, I can wait another day. But then another realization hit me, I cannot get inside the fair without paying for the entrance fee and not getting in means no elephant ears. Waaa! Somehow I have to find a way to be able to buy elephant ears every day (except today) while the fair is here. I wonder how to do that? Perhaps con the husband’s relatives? I better think of something and quick.

When we are driving down the road, I always try to pay attention to every thing we pass. It is easier since I am not the one driving so I get to enjoy the view and see a lot of things as well. The husband sometimes get annoyed when I tell him to look at something because he said he has to stay focused while driving. Well, I just want him to see what I see and get his opinion about it. Just like the other day when we were at a stop sign and I saw this car beside us with some kind of an electronic gadget in the dashboard. Since we were stopped he took a glimpse and said it was a radar detector and told me to quit disturbing him. I guess I deserved that, lol. I just can’t help it. When I see something new I ask questions and if he can he needs to look at it so I will get the right answer. He said there are people who actually use radar detectors but I did not know that. See, if I did not ask I wouldn’t have known. That was another information stored in my brain for future use. Anyway, I know I need to stop distracting him while he is driving and I need to focus more on the road if I want to get my driver’s license. I have had my permit for a long time now I need to really work on it. But that topic will have to be discussed some other time.

A cousin who is living and working in Japan told me she will send me nissin cup noodles seafood flavor when she gets the chance. I told her how I like the cup noodles and that I rarely get to eat it unless somebody from PI sends me a box through the mail. She offered she will send me a box which she said should be about 20 cup noodles in the mail once she has the time to go to the post office. How lucky can I get? I already have a few cup noodles of the same flavor here that my brother sent me and now it seems like I should be expecting more. My cousin said she noticed that whenever I post a shoutout on Facebook it is always either I am hungry or I am craving something, lol. Well, I am just saying what I feel at the moment. If she ever will send me a box of cup noodles I should have enough supply to last me a long time. That is great because it means I do not have to save up money just so my brother or sister-in-law can send me cup noodles. I will just have to make sure that the items are kept in a place where it will store for as long as necessary.

It is starting to cool off where we are at. For weeks I was complaining about how hot the weather was and that I could not wait for the cooler days. Well, it seems like cooler days are here if Yahoo weather is accurate This means cool breeze and being able to go outside without worrying about heatstroke. I am so glad. I hope this will last a while. I am not even gonna listen to the husband’s telling me we only have a few weeks of this nice weather and then it will start getting really cold. I want to enjoy these days because after this I know I will be complaining about the cold. During the day I make it a point to get outside and sit on one of our patio chairs so I could better enjoy the remaining summer days. I love it. If I can have a book to read then I won’t mind sitting outside for hours since even if the little man gets outside to check on me he still prefers to stay indoors to play with his toys. And even if the husband sits with me he is content for us to just be beside each other so I still have time for myself. Can you blame me if I want this fine weather to last for a while?
