The Daily Matters

I’ve been pretty occupied with other things lately. I know I have other priorities, but I get tempted to do something else like changing my photoblog’s look. I actually made my own name’s domain into a front page and will be using a subdomain or an extension file for my photoblog instead. I just couldn’t get settled with the look I wanted. I used digital scrapbooking for it and after 3 attempts; I finally found contentment in what it has become right now. I hope I won’t get driven to changing it anymore because it’s very time consuming. Well, here’s what it looks like right now. My photoblog is under construction for I don’t know how long. It will eventually be up and running again soon.

We’re not really big on drinking. Even when we eat out, I don’t really get booze even on a special occasion. The hubby does get red wine from time to time. Other than that, we don’t keep a bottle of wine at home. It’s not like us to sit back and have a glass of wine or two. Some of our friends do that though. They have wine refrigerators at their homes and never ran out of booze in them. It’s part of their routine every night. I guess it’s a way for them to relax. Alcohol does calm a lot of people and help them sleep. Obviously, we aren’t like them.

I was startled last night when hubby woke me up from my deep sleep. He had to ask me to check his back for ticks. He said he found one on his neck and flushed it in the toilet. Thank goodness I didn’t see it at all. I wished I had though, but that was just disgusting. We don’t have pets at all. He thinks he might have got it at the golf course after playing with his friend yesterday morning and only last night that he noticed it while getting ready for bed. Ewww!

Some wild animal at the golf course must have left that disgusting creature to humans. Yuck! I can’t even think about it. Well enough of that — I have to check out some farmhouse sinks from this website that I stumbled. Someone I know might like it.

The hubby played a lot of golf in his lifetime and won tournaments years back. In fact he still has most of his trophies. I am proud of him since he has achieved victories in the game that he loves the most. He is not a bad golfer after all and not to mention a very good professional golf instructor. He sure hopes our son will have the same passion in golf as he does. It’s amazing that as young as he is right now, he knows just how to impress us when he plays with his plastic golf set. I hope it runs in the blood.

If you think only humans have the right to live in a house, apartment or a condo, you could be wrong. Even animals or pets have this right too. Whether you have a dog, birds or cats, they deserve to live in a place especially made for them so they can also enjoy being themselves. Think about a cat condo. How cool is that!?

I have no idea how far along the renovation is in our condo that we are planning to rent out next month. I don’t really ask the hubby about it because he will eventually tell me when it’s about done or open for renters. I’m sure the contractor have at least fixed the bathroom already and got the Grohe faucets installed. I heard the shower needed a replacement too so I would guess it’s also been done. I hope it will be ready soon so we can start making money with that place. It will take time though before we can get the money back that we spent for repair and other expenses to update that place.

I am trying to train Casey to sleep in the crib without me in his sight. He just cries though. I know it’s tough for him and it’s not an easy transition. I just don’t like the idea that he couldn’t sleep without me by his side or without touching my hair. I know I sound like I am a bad mom. I do try to be as affectionate as I can be all the time, but there are times when I want him to let go of some things as he is getting older and bigger.

Independence is very important in this country that is inculcated to kids as young as they are newly born. Oh well, I’ll make it work. For now, I’ll have to settle with what is best for the both of us. Anyway, I have yet to read more about this site for mortgage lenders. I might share this one to a friend who is thinking about buying a house. It should be a helpful site for them.

Father’s Day is just around the corner. I have not bought anything for the hubby just yet. Perhaps one of those weight benches will do. He’s been meaning to start working out to lose some weight. LOL! I really don’t know what he wants as I haven’t asked him what he could get a use of. We’re actually celebrating in advance on Tuesday by going to the nearby casino and stay in their hotel for a night. It should be a good treat for the three of us.

Our friends won a raffle ticket last year during a golf tournament for a cause that we volunteer in annually. The prize is a one night stay at one of the Mohegan Sun’s hotel rooms and dines at one of the restaurants in the casino. Our friends couldn’t make it and the prize will expire in July so they decided we can take advantage of it instead since we live closer to the casino. What a nice couple they are.
