Well, let me explain. I used to have a charm/jewelry business. That’s what this site was for…telling your charming tales through charms. LOL Pretty cute, huh. Well, the company I was affiliated with has, well, not done so well lately. I haven’t a clue what’s going on with them, but I’m assuming they are on their way to ceasing to exist (if they aren’t already there). Luckily I was smart enough to get rid of the majority of my inventory before they bellied-up. So, it’s no bother for me.

But, I still have this site and I actually like it so… I’m moving my personal blog here because I just don’t want it on my business site any longer.

So, there you go…the reason Random Ramblins and Charming Tales has a new home.

Till later…

So, yesterday a friend had a garage sale. I happened to call another friend, well, actually I called her son…OK, I called her to talk to her sons about how their first week of school was and found out that they were all at this other friends house for her garage sale. My plans for the day, at that point, involved staring at the wall so I figured what the heck, I’ll go help out at the garage sale. It was fun. Got some crap, I mean very useful items, and spent the day with friends. What more could you want for a Saturday (well, I could do without the slight redness on my neck but the rest was good).

So, in the early afternoon my friend and I were sitting there waiting for the next drove of people to show up when she bust out with “want to go to Canada for dinner?” Huh? OK, that’s one I haven’t heard before. LOL So, we talk and her ex-sister-in-law was here visiting and they were going to Canada for dinner (yeah, I live THAT far north). So, I thought, why not.

Unfortunately we talked and realized you actually need your birth certificate to cross the border into Canada and she didn’t know where hers was and mine is someone in my room but I’m not 100% sure where so we couldn’t go. But, still…Want to go to Canada for dinner?

We did end up going out for dinner just the two of us (kind of like a date only with no guys LOL and us spending the whole night saying it would have been a better “date” if there were guys LOL). Then we walked around downtown for a bit…well pretty much went to see if we could find the hot security guard at the resort then weave, I mean walk along the pier around the resort. (I say weave because the blasted thing floats and the water was choppy so it bounced and wobbled the whole way making me a tad green in the stomach.) We ended up going inside the resort to sit in the lounge for a bit. I think I’m going to start doing that more often LOL.

So, not a bad weekend.

I also retook part 3 of my certification test today. I’m more confident with it this time. So, I might be giving a big shout-out to myself in the next couple days that I passed. This time I’m not telling anyone (except those that read this — which I’m thinking is me LOL) so I don’t have a million (OK two) people asking me if I passed every day and having to admit if I didn’t. But, I am more confident this time. However, I still say the test needs to be redone!

Till later…
