Archives for August, 2007

Seems like summer has just begun, but its end is coming soon and before we know it fall season is here again. Have been you busy lately with your garden? I’ll bet some of us were into it since the beginning of spring. A lot of the gardening enthusiasts must be very preoccupied with putting up a beautiful and pleasant ambiance at our backyards. Families must gather during warm summer nights at the yard for a barbeque with the help of a Garden Lighting. Anyway, if you missed that element in your garden onlinediscountmart.com has a nice collection of garden lighting that you will surely love. They are on sale, too. They will look good in any garden for summer next year. That will be a good advance preparation for you. Well, it’s never too late. Garden lighting is essential any season summer or not.

Guests Not Coming

Unfortunately, our guests are not coming tonight. As I have said in my previous post here that my cousin and her hubby were planning to come over for the weekend. They have other plans since they were not able to agree with a friend who is residing an hour away from our place. It would have been a good chance for them see us too because it’s a long way to travel from PA to CT which is approximately 4 hours and a half. Anyway, it was too bad. I’m sure there’s next time and hopefully that would be next week. We were thinking of showing them our new town and the nearby sites worth seeing. There are two casinos not very far from here so those might be a good place to see. Well, hubby did clean the house yesterday. mrgreenLucky me!

Vegas Baby!

One of the states I have never been to so far is Nevada where Las Vegas is. I don’t gamble and I never will but the thought of visiting the place appeals to me. It’s one of the favorites among tourists and casino goers alike. Not only does Vegas is a haven for entertainment and dining, its excellent hotel accommodations are top notched. The Caesars Palace is the place to be for an ultimate shopping, entertainment and of course gaming. There are lots of fun and interesting events that will make a stay worthwhile only in Vegas.

I just got a call today from a cousin and her husband in Pennsylvania who wanted to visit us tomorrow night and stay for the weekend. I am really anxious because it’s the first time they will see us in our new place. It’s not confirmed though as they have to coordinate with a friend with whom they will stop by earlier tomorrow before they will be heading here. Meanwhile, I am waiting for hubby to come home because he will be cleaning our place. It’s totally messy because I never cleaned since me moved. I just don’t know where to get the time since I have a baby to attend to who is so demanding. I know I have lots of it when it comes to blogging but the thought of doing something rigorous such as cleaning the bathroom when the baby fusses is just not my type to cram or panic just to shut him up. Well, I got to cut this short because I have to do a market research about a business that hubby and I are planning to start this winter. I hope it will work for us. Winter is just the best time to have a business running in which you don’t have to get out of the house. Take drop shipping for example and online stores. Wish us luck!

Me, Hubby and Baby

As I have mentioned days ago, our second anniversary celebration was spent just barely an hour away in a neighboring state. It was my first time to stay in a Bed and Breakfast . It was supposed to be a romantic date but since our son Casey was with us, it was more like a 2 day vacation spent in the bedroom that is! Casey and I stayed in the bedroom while waiting for his dad who went out that day to play in a golf tournament. He got lucky though. It was funny because he left so early after the game and didn’t wait for the result so he ended up thinking he didn’t make any money. He thought that tournament was just for fun since he’s not playing a lot this year. We went home after two nights in that place content and happy.

As soon as hubby read the paper he found out that the champion on that category he played in had a higher score than he had that which means he was supposed to be the winner. In golf, scoring is quite the opposite in most sports. While others higher are the better, in golf lower digits are ideal. So, hubby called and learnt that the organizers thought he was too good for that category and somewhat voided his participation which was unfair. LOL! He had told them he is more than qualified and they decided he should get a prize. Anyway, it was a fun date for us on our anniversary especially with our first baby.

Advertising Pens

Do you have a business you want potential customers to know? There are a lot of ways to promote your business that doesn’t have to cost you a lot of money. Try advertising pens . It’s a great way to advertise your restaurant, gift shop or store through the print of your business’ name and address on the pens you could give out to your customers. It’s a way of spreading the news and they come in handy for people like a business card. They are a neat way to let others know about your products and services as well. You can have your business name, address and contact number printed on them. Try them out at pensrus.com

Good Old Gold

For most women, jewelry is a must-have. Whether it’s a pair of gold earrings or a necklace when it is made of gold the better and the more special it is. Being one of the most precious metals, gold buying is a smart investment since it will help you keep your wealth for a long time especially for future use. It protects your wealth. Monex Deposit Company (MDC) is one perfect place to purchase gold and other precious metals because they can store it for you in a bank or depository.

Not only does it have the ability to make jewelries look beautiful, it can help you preserve your purchasing power.

A Letter From a Friend

I got a letter from a friend the other day and I was delighted because it’s been a while since the last time we talked. She’s in the Philippines right now and she just had a baby in May. I was really happy for her because she and her long time boyfriend who used to be our schoolmate in high school got married finally. She had told me her delivery was normal and yet it took her 2 days in labor which she said was really painful. I have no idea how painful can a labor get since C-section for me is really painful. Well, I’m glad to know she’s getting busy with taking care of her son. I definitely understand why it took her a while to write me again. I am getting really anxious to visit my hometown this year because some of my friends are also married and have kids of their own. It’s going to be exciting to see each other again as momsmrgreen. How I wish it’s not a long way to travel just to see them and of course my family.
