~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sounds familiar? Yes, that's a line from the Christmas song. Did I say Christmas song? I did. It's been several days past it but the little one here is still singing, humming carols. Seriously. Her favorite spot while singing? Where else but the shower.... Here's how it went down about 10 minutes after she went in the shower... Her: *Singing* ..." It's the most wonderful of the year. It's the most wonderful time... " Me: What are you doing now? Her: I'm about to shampoo.... *continues singing * ..." It's the most wonderful time... ." Me: (a few minutes later) What are you doing now? Her: * stops singing * I'm about to soap.... * continues singing * ..."... the most wonderful time, it's the most.... Me: Are you done? Her: Almost... ''It's the most wonderful time..." Me: BILIS! Her: Okay...* it's the most wonderful time.... * And that's how it happens almost everday. Th...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I mean, the not-so-near future. I'm referring to the future 10 maybe 20 years down the road. Hubby and I have been talking about this since day one. We both believe that it's for the better if we start planning for it now instead of waiting. We have no concrete plans in place yet but we like to talk about the different options we have once retirement age hits. My brother in law retired last year. At moment, he and his wife are just taking it easy and enjoying the free time they have. They bought an RV and already went into some trips using it. They said it's really fun to go on a road trip with an RV and not worry about time. The only worry they have is an rv breakdown that can happen to anyone who owns an rv but they have a brand new one so they're not expecting a breakdown anytime soon. Anyway, we still have a few years before the retirement age so we have plenty of time to plan for it. I'm just hoping that when that time comes, we wil...

It's a song by Journey. I've been hearing it a lot because of the TV show GLEE and I have been wanting to post it here but the Glee cast's version is only available in audio. I came across this unique version while I was searching. It's amazing how this one-man group came up with this. He has a lot of other videos uploaded in You Tube and they're equally impressive. Check them out as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I can't believe it's almost the new year. Are you ready to welcome 2010 yet? I guess ready or not we have no choice but to welcome it, right? Unlike last year, I am not going to have a new year's resolution. Only some wishes and hopes.... My primary wish is to keep my family safe and healthy because nothing is more important to me than a healthy family. As for my secondary wishes...let me start with a wish that our other house will have a buyer next year. The house has been in the market for almost 2 yrs and it's in good condition although hubby is planning in fixing the sinks and replacing the American Standard toilets with new ones in both bathrooms as some kind of an upgrade to make it more attractive to buyers. We have had some people interested in buying it but things didn't work out mostly on their part so nothing materialized. There was even a guy who lived in the house for a month while waiting for his papers to go through bu...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That's how everything is today... to me anyway. I'm also a wee bit tired and I have no idea why. Well maybe I do...after 'holiday' effect... Work has slowed down already so there's nothing much to do. Actually it slowed down just in time for the holidays. I am not sure if we will have more work released but I am hopeful. We really had it going there for a few weeks and I'm crossing my fingers the year 2010 will bring in more work for us. The weather has been pretty consistent since a week ago. It's been in the 50s & 60s mostly and I think that will last through this week with a little rain in the forecast. No worries because our mighty heater is on so it's a toasty 75F inside the house. The hubby doesn't like it that warm but no choice because the wife gets bad allergy when the temperature is below 70s. He'd rather have the warm feel in the house over my non-stop sneezing, sniffling and everything that goes with...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It was a lovely day here today. It was chilly, for me anyway, but the sun was out. The little one and I went outside so she can play with her football while I picked up some dried leaves and twigs in our backyard. We underestimated how cold it was outside so we had to go back in to get bundled up some more. Dad didn't go outside with us because he was busy on the computer while talking with his older brother on the phone. He hasn't spoken with his brother in a while so I didn't want to bother him while they're trying to catch up. When they were done, he went out the back porch to ask me to look for some White Owl cigars online because he wanted to give his brother some as Christmas present. Huh? Yep, it turned we're not really done with our Christmas shopping yet. I really don't mind doing that because it's for his brother anyway. I was just surprised that he thought of doing it this late and that he's giving him cigars. Oh ...
