The Simpsonsssssssss

I cant believe its been 2o years! what a great show?! Ive been watching for almost that long lol. I hope the show has another 20years ahead of them. And another movie or two to follow up with " The Simpsons Movie":)

Forward shorward

I love texting but whats up with the forwarding? Do ppl have nothing better to do than send stupid, pointless chain letters? Will God really stop loving me, if I don't forward this message to 10 ppl? lol please! its ridiculous and childish. I wish I had a way to block them. Seriously....

Aldi

I just bought a whole cart of groceries for $100. I would spend $200 in Wegmans. Although I love Wegmans....Im on a budget. Aldi stores are perfect for staying on a budget. I dont recommend buying lunch meat or packed meats there but everything else taste great. I still cant believe my cabinets and fridge are well stocked and all for $100! wow

Starbucks I love you but come onnnnn

Not sure why I spend $4 on a Starbucks mocha frappachino that I could do without. They taste so good! It's MOCHA and whipped cream for goodness sake.But I'm thinking of investing in some kind of speciality drink maker. I'm sure in the end I will be saving a lot of money. And theres always Dunkin Donuts....Spending $.99 on a hot choco or $2.00 on a coffee adds up but its its better than Starbucks prices. And there coffee is just UNBEATABLE!! Well, stay away from Starbucks cause I'm pretty sure they put crack in the drinks! Mmmmm mochaaaa...:)

Black History Month in Philadelphia

The African American Museum in Philadelphia is a must see! I thought it was very educational. It's a great place to visit with friends and family:)

This February marks the first time The African American Museum in Philadelphia’s new permanent feature will be open during Black History Month. Visitors listen to life-sized 3D characters speak fervently about their lives, beliefs and aspirations in 18th-century Philadelphia; explore an interactive timeline documenting more than 100 years of entrepreneurship, environment, education, religion and family traditions in the African-American community; and discover whose descendants still call the region home. Also on view: 381 Days: The Montgomery Bus Boycott Story, a traveling exhibit that chronicles Rosa Parks’ heroic stand and the bus boycott that followed.

Grin and ferret

It amazes me when people compare ferrets to rats(not that's there's anything wrong with rats). They are related to otters, weasels, minks, etc. I have two ferrets, a boy named Rocco and a girl named Heidi. When my guest meet them for the first time they usually say something along the lines of "eww" or "gross. Then after spending 10 minutes with them, they want to own one. If I had to describe my ferrets, I wouldn't compare them to rats at all, rather a mixture of a dog, cat, and a monkey:). They even use the litter box! how cool is that? I think the biggest beef people have with ferrets is that they are known to bite. Yes they do bite when they are kits (babies) but with a little training that all goes away. Now they play bite like a dog would. Actually, they usually nip you to start up a game of tag:) To me nothing about their personality is like a rat. Give them a chance! You'll be surprised at how awesome the truly are!
