Teenagers

My teenage daughter is quite the handful, but shes growing up and maturing faster then I expected her to. She is holding two jobs, still in school trying to get a good education, and has a steady boyfriend she has been with for years. Over all I think she is going to make it through life as happy as anyone would want to be. I just hope it stays this way, because I know how teenagers are, they always seem to change drastically on you when you least expect it.

TravelHERO is so convenient

My family has been waiting all winter long to go to Disney World this coming summer, we needed to plan in advance what hotel we were going to stay at and how we were going to get there. Well after searching the Internet for a while I came across a website called Travelhero and had found that you can look up every hotel there and find cheap hotel reservations for any one of your choices. I had looked through a good amount of their options of hotels and had also found that they looked marvelous on the inside and out with great prices that I wasn’t at all expecting. We also reserved a car for us to rent for our transportation on TravelHERO, it was so quick and easy and I don’t have to worry about doing it later.

NoBrainerBlinds – it’s a no brainer indeed

When we first moved into this house we are now in, we thought we needed to get rid of all the white paint that was everywhere. So we painted room room a different color to make it more comfortable for us to live in. We went nuts over all kinds of really nice piece’s of furniture with matching tables and curtains and and some nice blinds that just fit with the room. Well my husband and I were thinking about upgrading our window wear and try to make it unique as possible, so we got on to the computer in search for window blinds that have our style we were looking for. We came across a company called NoBrainerBlinds that sells unique window blinds, and we were so amazed on how fabulous these blinds were. Each and every one of them were very much unique. Not too long after ordering, we put up our new blinds and we were so happy with our choices, talk about great service, with wonderful options. 

Out with the old, and in with the new

 For years I have been dying to upgrade every piece of technology I have in the house, and try to make it more comfortable to us, and more appealing to the eye. Well I have taken a lot of electronics and sold them at the flea market to get a little bit back for all of it, and I am now ready to go shopping for my 56′ Big screen TV that I have always wanted. I am so excited to think about when I see my family’s faces when I arrive home with a huge TV. 

The Cubs are Hubby’s choice of teams

Hubby has been a Chicago Cubs fan for ever and a day, his father was originally from “The Windy City” and they both went to the games all through-out his childhood and up until he moved down here right before he met me. As a matter of fact the first time I met him he was sporting a Cubs cap on his head.

I’m thinking of Father’s Day, which will be coming up in another month or so, and I want to get something different this year that will float Hubby’s boat real good.  I stumbled across a web-site www.cubworld.com that offers a nice selection of some cool Cubs gear along with other gifts and baseball memorabilia for die hard fans like him, things that just might put a smile on his face. I will call his Mom in the next couple of days when I have some time to chat and will pick her brain to see what she thinks he may like, she can go on-line and check out the goodies that CubWorld.com has and maybe she will choose something for his Dad for his Father’s Day gift also.

BIG Boxing news!

It appears that Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer told ESPN.com Wednesday. that last spring box office records were shattered when Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Oscar De La Hoya met, says that they are close to finishing a deal for a rematch scheduled for either September 13th or the 20th of 2008, which will be viewed on HBO pay-per-view.

And guess what Hubby wants for his Father’s Day present this year, yes he wants some Oscar De La Hoya vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. tickets even though they haven’t even decided where this main event will take place. Hubby says that it doesn’t matter where it will be held, that he will get there come hell or high water and that you can purchase the tickets already at on the web-site of .

I can’t say that I blame him, he has been an avid boxing fan since he was a little boy when he and his Dad would stay up late on nights that any boxing match was been shown on television.

I guess I better check it out and see if I can scrape up a little bit of extra cash so that I can make Hubby’s wish come true, it isn’t often that he ever tells me of anything that he wants for a gift on any of the many occasions that I have to give him something!

Mommy is going to cook dinner tonight

Today my sister had sent me a few receipts over the Internet that her and her family seemed to enjoy, and I find them to be very different then what we usually eat in my household. My son and I are going to go shopping for the ingredients we need to make something new and tasty that the entire family will love to eat for dinner, plus I think I need to do more cooking, I’ve been slacking in that area lately. By the way I do love my husband’s attempt in “Southern cooking”, but I do think it’s time for mommy to step in and take charge of the kitchen once again, and have a part in sitting down with the family and smiling and enjoying our delicious new food experiences.

Full bellies before it’s time to go to bed of course, I always say, or you wont have a good night’s sleep. My son had told me that he wants to help mommy cook dinner tonight, which by the way I think is an absolute great and fantastic idea. I can’t wait to try out our new food creations, and hopefully we won’t burn the kitchen down in the process!

Brother-in-law sends good news about his new job

Just received an interesting email from my brother-in-law with the subject line saying “heating and cooling PA”, it’s a darn good thing that I noticed it was from him, otherwise I would have deleted it thinking that it was spam. His email had told me that he had just landed a job with a wonderful company that he sent me the link to, for me to check out. The link is www.lowryelectric.com and after reviewing the site I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is around the Delaware and Pennsylvania area who is trying to find spectacular service with their Electric, heating and cooling needs.

He should do well with this job because he has been working in this field for years and its right up his alley. I hope that he will stay with this company for a good long while so that he can take advantage of the benefits that they offer because his wife is expecting their first baby in November this year and needs to have a job where there is not only great benefits but also wonderful people to work with to make his day go by quicker and feel more satisfied then his previous job.

Girls night out!

I was thinking that tonight being a Friday night, that I was going to stay home and watch a little bit of TV and relax. Well one of my girlfriends from work had called me a few hours ago and wants me to go out with her to a nice bar/restaurant with two other girls from work.  Well I haven’t had a girls night out in a long time, so I had no idea what to wear, so I asked my daughter to help me pick something out to wear that’s casual but formal. As soon as we got to the mall, she dragged me into an awesome store with beautiful night out outfits all around. I wanted the whole store, but my daughter within 2 minutes of searching brought me a beautiful baby blue night dress with Rhine stones that went around the neck, and my first thought was “Yeah right! Maybe 20 years ago!” But I went into the dressing room and tried it on, and come to find out I wasn’t disappointed at all. I looked in that mirror and felt 25 again. When we came home, I tried it on and did my makeup and hair and went out to show my family I got a response I wasn’t expecting from my husband. He had said how beautiful I looked, and wished me to have a great time with the gals, and my daughter was smiling like she was proud, and my son was surprised. So now Im off to a great night out and enjoying the company of 3 wonderful girls whom I never thought would even talk to me, just for the fact that they are much younger and Im much much older. But I do believe Ill have a wonderful time tonight, and maybe get a few good friends out of it too. 

Little brother is checking out Personal Loans

My youngest brother, who is still living right outside of the Washington D.C. area has been having the worst luck as of late.  He lost his job right after the Christmas holidays, then his car broke down and now his wife of four years is threatening to leave him if he doesn’t get his act together.

I know how hard it is to find work when you don’t have a car to get you to and from places, granted in the D.C. area there is an abundance of public transportation available but some people just aren’t into that and he is one of them.

I suggested that he go on-line and research some of the companies that are advertising loans even if you have a history of bad credit and I know that there are several out there, it is just a matter of sitting yourself down and checking them out to see which one best suits your needs.

I suggested a web-site that I am familiar with www.personalloanspro.com which specializes in bad credit personal loans.  I’m sure that he would be categorized in the High Risk Personal Loan area, but is alright, all it would take is a few moments of his time to sit down at his P.C. and apply for his free online approval where he would go to their secure server and apply in just a matter of minutes to see if they could help him out in his time of need with one of their Personal Loans.

We all need help once in a while, it is too bad that no one in the family is in the position to help him out, everyone is strapped for cash now a days, can you believe that gas in now $3.59 a gallon. Pretty soon everyone will be needed loans just to pay for gas for their vehicles and to heat their homes with, pretty scary thought isn’t it?
