A lot of people consider flirting to be an art form and take it rather seriously. To some extent, I have to say that it is. It’s amusing what some people end up doing and saying all in the name of flirting. Take this pick-up line for example: “Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk past again?” I’d die laughing if someone came up to me and said that! That has got to be one of the worst pick-up lines out there. Hahaha! You won’t score Victory Hair with that! What’s victory hair exactly? It’s when the perfectly styled hair of say, a couple, end up getting all messed up because of, well, magic. Hee hee!
For my birthday, Hubby and Abby gave me a new toy, a Nintendo DS Lite in crimson and black, my color of choice. :) I had three options really: a new bag, a telephoto lens for my camera or the DS. Obviously I picked the DS. Hee hee.
I only have two games right now, BraineAge 2 and this…
You can’t really blame me for choosing an actual toy. Toys these days are much cooler and they cater to people of all ages. I can safely say I’m not the only one who is gungho on these gaming thingamajigs. Hubby gas a toy of his own, too…a PSP, which I gave him for Christmas. For family fun, we have the Nintendo Wii. We’re proud of our Wii inventory. So far, we have the Guitar Hero, the Wii Fit and Mario Kart (with 2 steering wheels, one each for Hubby and me). We don’t have a dance mat yet or a wireless mic. It might take some time before we add to our Wii list.
Do you think it’s too much if we got a PS3 as well? At least it’s double purpose…it’s a gaming console and blu-ray dvd player in one. Hee hee. But we’re not buying. Not yet.
Abby walked a dog for the very first time last July. It was our neighbor’s pet, the name of which escapes me right now. Anyway, Abby was a little afraid of it at first because it’s just about as big as she is. But as soon as she warmed up to it, she agreed to go with our neighbor, Jeanne, and 2 other girls her age, to take the beautiful dog out for a walk. After that walk, Abby couldn’t stop asking for a pet dog of her own.
Unfortunately, we’re not quite ready for a pet right now, at least, not yet. We probably could have said yes to a fish, but a four-legged friend for Abby is just too much for all of us to handle. Everybody knows that caring for a pet takes a lot of responsibility. There are visits to the vet and groomer, pet food, even pet beds to think about! Maybe we’ll reconsider when we already have a house of our own. Hubby has always wanted a golden retriever anyway. :) We’ll see.
I have recently rediscovered my love for reading. Other than my duties as “queen of the household”, I found out that a good book is sure to keep me away from the computer for long periods of time. This love for reading is something that I hope I can pass on to Abby.
Presently, Abby can’t ever go to sleep unless I read to her first. In school, I know she does a lot of reading, too. Hubby and I are always on the lookout for new books to add to Abby’s ever growing library…if only to keep her interested in reading. I know there are parents out there whose child/ren might not be as fond of books as my little Abby. It might help if you make use of personalized children’s books. These are story books where the “star” is your child him/herself! I really think kids will get a kick out of this. Last Christmas, Abby got personalized CDs from her godmother. All the songs had her name in the lyrics, as if the songs were made for her. And she really liked the CDs. I bet she and other kids will be as excited if they find their names in books as well…in stories about themselves! Let’s spread the love…for books, that is!
Ask anyone who has ever owned a car here in the US if they have secured a car loan at least once and chances are, the answer will be “yes”. Of course, there are a few “chosen ones” who never had to. The fact is, Car Loans have become as much a necessity as the very object they are meant for.
Fortunately, there is such a company as Complete Loan Source (CLS) that make owning a car possible for almost, if not, everyone. A bad credit doesn’t even affect one’s chances of securing a car loan! Whether it be for a new or used cars, getting a car loan from CLS is fast there are no application fees. Not only that, they also offer Payday Loans, Cash Advance, Personal Loans, Payday Advance, Bad Credit Loan and Debt Consolidation. So check CLS out if you have a need for any of these. They might just be the one you’re looking for.
Texas is home to thousands of IT (Information Technology) companies. I could just imagine how competitive it is out there. And with the future of the US economy bordering on the “uncertain”, and that’s putting it mildy, it is important that one has something more to offer a company, something that sets him apart from his peers.
A good number of moms and dads in the school my daughter attends work for a popular computer company, which is based in Round Rock, Texas. The school fondly refers to them as “tech gurus”. Hubby, who himself is an electronics and communications engineer, had a nice chat with a fellow dad one time and they both share the same belief that more opportunities await a person who has certifications to boot. Hubby has a number of ISO certifications and the dad he was chatting with was scheduled to attend Cisco certification seminars. I had to excuse myself when their talk became too much for my brain (which is more creative than techie!
If one is serious in expanding and maximizing his career potential, then there is no room for complacency in the career plan, specially in the IT field. That’s why I always encourage hubby to expand his horizons so that if he has room to maneuver his career any which way he wants. Some people who have no IT background suddenly found themselves in that industry. Hubby has the framework for a career in IT already. All he has to do is hone his potential. To be part of the “IT” crowd, you will really have to go for it.
A lot of people seem to be moving to and fro lately! In our neighborhood alone, a number of our neighbors have moved out. After some time, new neighbors moved in. I have gotten quite accustomed to seeing a huge moving truck rental parked behind our house. I think that happened twice last month! Friends of ours from Abby’s school will be moving back to Connecticut as soon as they sell their house. We have other friends who have practically made a career out of moving (you know who you are! *waves*).
Moving can be very stressful. That’s why every little detail that can ease the stress a little bit will be very helpful. Those who are planning to move some time soon will be happy to know that there’s such a thing as MovingOrbit.com. Through this site, one can get quotes from a number of moving companies for a variety of moving services, quickly and for free! That’s stress deduction right there! Hee hee.
