~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Last month, I almost forgot to pay our electric bill. I pay it online and we usually get the notification via email 3 weeks before the due date. I got real busy with work that I didn’t think about it until after 2 days the due date. It’s only the first it happened but I don’t want it to happen again so I decided to put a reminder that will pop up everytime I turn on my computer. That way, I’ll be able to remember when something is due. While making the reminder calendar last night, it hit me that it’s the 7th of September already today. Really? It’s the ‘ber’ months already? The ‘ber’ months was something we used to look forward to when we were kids. To us it signals the start of the countdown for the holiday season. This is not case to me anymore since there’s a few other big events here before that but I still remember fondly how we’d wait for these months as kids. Anyway, September is the month that our contract with our cable provider expires. Now we ca...

Since we moved in this house, we’ve always had cable TV because we just transferred here what we had in the old house. Moving is always a stressful time so we chose to lessen it by just sticking it out with the old provider. We even got the bundle plan so we would only deal with one company. That didn’t work out well so a few months ago we decided to switch our phone and internet with another company but kept the cable with the old provider. As days went by, we’re getting more and more frustrated with our cable provider primarily because of the over the top charges from them. So we’ve decided to go back to Direct TV Satellite ASAP. We used to have them but for some unknown reasons, we went to cable. I know we didn’t have problems with them when we had them before so I really can’t remember why we chose to go with cable in the first. Anyway, we ordered that flat screen TV that we’ve been planning to get since moving here. We wanted to wait for the armoire that we ordered before we...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The weather around here has been pretty crazy the past few weeks. It’s been raining almost non-stop so our time outside has been very limited. My favorite past time which is weeding has been put on hold indefinitely. My in-laws who we visited last Sunday have been having problems with their TV. It seems the reception has been really really bad because of the weird weather. My husband suggested that they switch to Direct TV because during the time we had them, we never had any problem with them during bad weathers. As a matter of fact, we only called for their tech’s visit once or twice…and we had them for about 5 years. There are a lot of Direct TV Deals they can avail of which I’m sure are cheaper than what they have. The in-laws said that they were expecting a tech to visit them the following day but they will probably switch if the problem with their present provider is not resolved. Well, my husband got a call from his brother early this week....
