Spam Can Ammo and other things....

 Last night we went shopping for A Mosin Nagant, Senior has been wanting a good reliable Russian rifle. So again we were back at one of our local stores, and found they had a couple for a pretty good deal, for some reason he decided to wait, and opted to buy the crimson trace laser grips for his Glock...  Ok, so now I am jealous.  I got a new set of "Hot Pink" ear protection, now I am shopping around for pink or purple shooting glasses. Afterall, a girl needs to look stylish while killing zombies!

Then I came across a this:  "Spam Cam Ammo" I thought it cool, and worthy of mention on my blog, I guess I am just out of the loop of things, as I have never seen ammo this way...



My new IPOD came today, its really small...I almost feel like I have been ripped off..But I like it because it has the fitness tracker on it, so now It will measure how far and how many calories I burn while walking/exercising.
I got Senior a XBOX kinect game he has been wanting.. BLACKWATER...totally cool, looks hard though. Seems to be  a sort of "training game" as you are virtually shooting and dodging bad guys...hmmm maybe its something to do when we aren't at the range....

Michelle on Vacation ...AGAIN!

Gas prices are to hit an all time high, Iran has cut oil to the UK and France, Saudi has announced its cutting back its production, Millions are out of work, people can't afford the clothes on their backs, much less a vacation. Wouldnt we all like to just take off when ever we chose? The First Lady must have been feeling really stressed, and in desperate need of another vacation...just a month after returning from their yearly Hawaii vacation( which i might add, I hate the fact they take because it makes their entire entourage miss the holidays with their families)
 She and the kids are enjoying  the slopes of Aspen, CO. 
In case you were curious, here is a rundown of her lavish vacations since 2010... I am also willing to bet, she will be headed to London later this year for the Olympics......

SPAIN: AUGUST 2010

• Use of Air Force Two comes in at $149,900 for the round trip, not including time on the ground.

The Costco Cashier and Zombie Apocalypse....

Earlier this afternoon, Senior, the boys and I made a trip out to COSTCO. We wanted to get more rice and sugar, plus I was shopping for a new IPOD, mine of 5years got fried about 2 weeks ago while I was backing out the driveway, coffee spilled on to it. So Senior told me I could shop for a  new one. However, imagine my disappointment when I realized Costco does not sell them, but they have no problem selling the IHOME docking station for them... ?????????

We shopped for other items not on our list, and managed to fill up the cart. I had the youngest in the shopping cart seat, and joked with the check out guy: " This didn't have a bar code on it, so I don't know what it costs"....LOL   He laughed and said " sorry, ma'am can't sell him then"  The youngest starred at me in horror cause he thought he was going to have to live at Costco,
 he said " If I live here I will eat everything"..   Our lovely cashier heard him and said... " little boy you want to live here? well my family told me that when the ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE happens, we are coming to Costco and locking all the gates"  So, our youngest in all his infinite wisdom, then says:
" Democrats are Zombies" ! ... 

Then I came home and stumbled upon this most appropriate pic:

    

And Thus It Begins...

Woke up this morning to the front page of DRUDGE, Iran is cutting oil sales to the British and French...
This is not any sort of news you want to start your week off with. The ripple effect of this is going to feel like an earthquakes shockwave felt around the world. $3.50 a gallon for gas will seem like bargain basement to everyone. It is all ready in the 4.00 range out in California.
Everything that we take for granted on a daily basis is going to skyrocket, we will no longer be able to afford the simple pleasures that we so love each and every day.. So I suggest if you can, to buy now, buy a lot, and stock up......

Iran stops oil sales to the British and French

Saturday...Last day of the Week...

I ended my week, by having to take both boys shoe shopping. With the way they scuff their feet, they wore holes in  the bottoms of shoes I had just bought them in August. And again, can hardly find lace shoes, so Velcro it is again...  : (  
I must have been asking for it, because I invited my mother along, you know my same mother that thinks "nothing bad can ever happen"... well, Thank God I had half a pot of coffee this morning and a whole anti-depressant, with out them both I doubt I would have survived dealing with her, and 2 boys out shopping.. We started talking well, here is the jest of our conversation:

Mother: "Do you think the president will get re-elected" ?
ME: " Yes, but IF he doesn't, look out for rioting"
Mother: "Rioting!!!"  " your not serious"
ME: " yes" and shaking my head
Mother: "I spent 200.00 last night on groceries, and have nothing to show for it"
ME: " everything is getting expensive, wait until gas is 10.00 a gallon, and a loaf of  bread is 5.00 a loaf, now you see why I am learning to make my own"
Mother: " what are you Amish?, and what's with this car of yours being so high? Is this how you like it" ?
ME: <---- bangs her head on the steering wheel!

Knowing the area we were going to be in, I did something today I have not done in a while, I got out my wrap holster ( I call it that, because it literally wraps around your waste and you fit your gun in pockets on the side) and i carried on person today. I have recently gotten in to the habit of carrying a concealed purse, but lately this particular area of her town as gotten much worse, and I felt better with my glock on my side.

Senior is off with group friends today, so I am making a good spaghetti dinner, and home made Italian herb bread...the kitchen smells delicious...I hope the family enjoys it. We have also been camper shopping, wanting to get out of the one we have, and in to something a bit bigger..I like those with bunk beds for the kids.

This has been a heck of week in my area, we lost a great police detective and our good friend Duke lost his sweet mother in law. My sister new her very well, and is deeply saddened.His mother in law was a very beautiful person inside and out, all though I did not know her personally, I have heard my sister speak of her on many occasions, and I felt like I knew her. Our prayers goes out to his family during this sad time....

So on to a new week, Hope its a good one for all of you.....
