I have some friends who wish to come over to visit for longer period of time as in for several months. Though they are welcome to stay in my place, they opted to just stay in one of those houses for rent because they didn't want to get in the way of our busy schedule, which is really very nice of them. Also the idea of just renting a house instead of staying in costly hotels is really brilliant. The money they could save on hotels they could use for tours and sight-seeing. Though they're not staying with me, I will be their tour guide of the city.
One of my son's wishes is to have a real ATV that he could actually drive. Though he's into Lego nowadays, he hasn't really outgrown his love for toy cars, trains, monster trucks and atv's. Even if some of his ATV Tires came off already from too much playing, his creative imagination still make them work. Though I've seen small kids drive their own ATV's, I still feel that my son is still too little to have his own. I'd wait till he's big enough to ride his bike without the training wheels, then maybe I'd agree for him to have one.
When I heard that a friend had lung cancer I was so shocked. I couldn't believe that for a person who is so health conscious and never smoked, she would be the one to get this dreadful big C. I know there's nothing I could probably say at that time that would make her feel better but I opted to send get well present overnight and it made a difference. That present took her mind off the big problem even only for a moment. I recently learned that after several sessions of chemo and radiation she's now on remission which was a great news. Now she's back to normal and I'm happy for her.
Oh the start of the months of BER (SeptemBER, OctoBER, etc.) reminds me that Christmas season is just around the corner. Like I've done traditionally, I give personalized presents to my loved ones, relatives and very close friends. I normally place my orders online at Personal Creations as early as I can so I won't get overwhelmed when the time comes. Well not only on Christmas season do I shop at Personal Creations, also on birthdays, anniversaries and christening of my friends' children too. They loved the personalized gifts I've given them, they are something to cherish for many many years. I've been a fan of Personal Creations on FB so I'm on the know of their latest deals and offers which is really great, so you should too!
We had a very nice dinner with friends at Cheesecake Factory a few hours ago and I believe I might have pigged out again. I ordered a big serving of my usual Fettuccine with Chicken and Sundried tomatoes and capped it up with a few bites of Hershey's Cheesecake with mousse. So now I guess I need some fat burners to even things out, I feel really bloated. Well for any consolation, I didn't eat much during the day since I've anticipated this big dinner would happen, but even then I still feel bloated. Next I know better not to order the main course, I'll settle for some appetizer or some light dinner.
I watch Home and Garden TV shows a lot so when we had our kitchen makeover few years back, I knew exactly what I wanted. We upgraded our counter top from laminate to granite which made it more elegant and of course easier to clean, and the sink was upgraded to double undermount kitchen sinks. The cheap looking linoleum floor was upgraded to terracotta tiles. I also have beige back splash installed that compliments the dark granite. I still have a lot of ideas but budget ran low so I have to hold it up for some future time. In my wish list would be a walk-in pantry for all my groceries, small kitchen appliances and pans and pats and more! I'd love to have a separate laundry room cum craft room too.
I'm sure most moms like me would agree that they spend a lot on batteries since most toys nowadays are battery operated. Most of my son's toys need batteries. His latest fave toy is the one he got for his birthday - a remote controlled car that uses six triple A batteries on the remote control and another 6 double A batteries on the car, how expensive! If he plays with the car for maybe two hours in a day, which he really does since it's new and he's still excited about it, in three days the batteries will be out. Thank God for aaa rechargeable batteries, I don't need to spend too much on batteries. My son won't bug me to change the batteries in his toys anymore and I don't have to rush to the store if I ran out of batteries too. It's a win-win situation for everybody, everybody happy!
I shop online a lot so I'm wise enough to look for coupons codes available in the net before buying anything. If you're a smart shopper you will look for the best possible deals you can get online like I do. I always look for free shipping deal on top of the percentage off the product, why not? Imagine aside from getting all the convenience of online shopping you also save a lot of moolah, who wouldn't like that? Anyway, on Father's Day I recently bought my honeybunch a fish pail as he loves to fish. I also bought a matching pail for our son and I saved a lot by using online coupon codes.
