iRazoo is Now International!!!

Ya'll know I'm all about the sites where I can earn points for gift cards!  iRazoo is now open to INTERNATIONAL users!  Users in the USA can earn up to 2,800 points a day watching videos, and a $5.00 Amazon GC is only 3,000 points, so this really helps out.  Especially with Christmas coming up!!! 

Where was TheMarciFactor this weekend?

As most of you know, I'm around my computer almost all the time.  BUT, this weekend I was

unplugged!!!

Scary thought huh?  So, many of you have bombarded my Facebook asking me "where are you?"

Well, we're on the list for season tickets for the Houston Texans (the Astros also, but that's another story) and DH got an email on Friday saying there were extra tickets to the season opener today.  Soooo, completely spur of the moment, we bought four tickets!!!

Oh yeah...and two parking passes because of the new (to us) RV!

So, to make a weekend of it, we left on Saturday.  Didn't have any specific plans or anything, so we said, "what the heck? Let's go to Galveston!" So, we did.

And Monster (and Mommy) got to see the Gulf of Mexico!!

This was the view from the RV as we were headed to the Island.

So, how did Monster react to the Beach?  Well, it took some coaxing...

But, then he was addicted!!

And I have to post this pic, just because he's so much like his daddy in this one! Look at the stance!!!

How addicted was he?? Well, he started running away from us when we said it was time to go.  Mommy had to literally RUN fast to get him!!!

And then my wonderful husband was collecting seashells for me!!!

Then comes SUNDAY!

We arrived early in the Purple lot and these were my favorite tailgaters!!!

This was our view...nosebleed but hey, it WAS last minute and season opener! What else could you ask for on short notice??

I love when they do this!!

Couple of pics of the game! 

And then, SURPRISE...guess who performed during halftime?

Billy Ray Cyrus!

This says it all!!! Enjoy and I promise I will give a little notice next time I'm unplugged!!

 

Tire and Electronic Recycle Day

While out and about yesterday I noticed that Hudson and Lufkin are hosting a tire and electronic recycling day on Saturday, September 8, 2012.

Hudson is from 8 AM until 11:30 AM behind City Hall. 

They are accepting tires, car batteries, televisions, and computer equipment.  

There is no fee for most of the items, and you can recycle up to 8 car/light truck tires at no fee.  After that is a small fee.

There are also accepting Semi-truck tires for a small fee also. 

Lufkin is from 8 AM until 2 PM at the City of Lufkin Solid Waste/Regional Recycling Center. 

If you don't know where it is, the best way is to tell you it's on the same street that the Blue Bell distribution center is at.  The address is: 500 South Park Drive.

They are accepting the same things as Hudson for about the same fees.

For more information for Hudson Recycling Day, you can call City Hall at: (936) 875-2358 

and for information on Lufkin Recycling Day you can click HERE to visit the website.

We're taking our old TV up there.  Are any of my local readers taking anything up there this weekend? Leave a comment, and if I get a bunch, there might be a giveaway.

22 years today

Today marks 22 years.

I know that there are people that still hurt every year.  Three people gone too soon with questions still unanswered, and will probably never be answered.

There are three families, and countless friends that mark the passing of our dear friends.

I met her in a private school my freshman year of school, she was in the same grade.  She fell in love with a guy in another class and they were a match made in Heaven. 

So, I'm not going to say much, except that everyone still misses Manessa and Kelsey very much.  I know they are watching us from Heaven, and that they are together forever.
