~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One of my nieces is expecting her first child in a few months. When I sent a box a few months ago, I included some baby stuff there like a bouncer, infant bath tub and some baby clothes. I totally forgot about the mother of the baby. Well, not totally since those stuff are for HER baby. Still, I feel guilty because I should have sent something for her like prenatal vitamins or some other kind of vitamins to help with her pregnancy. My niece said that she has vitamins anyway and not to worry about it. She's grateful for everything I sent for her baby and that it'll help her a lot. But I can't help but feel bad for not sending her anything. I'm now thinking of getting something just for her to make up for totally overlooking her last time. My only problem is...I have no idea what to get her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I watched as cars upon cars arrived at our neighbor's front yard. It looked like they're having a grand barbecue party and they invited quite a number of people. Their front yard is not that big so they occupied part of their neighbor's yard. That's fine as long as they don't run over their garden. As for us, we decided to spend this day at home...obviously. The husband hasn't had any decent time off from work so staying at home is just what we want. Besides, we're planning in taking a 'big' trip before the year ends so we're trying to avoid unnecessary spending and the best way to do that is stay within the confines of home, right? We lazed around the house for 3 days. Meaning? Ate, ate and ate some more. Ugh! I tried to eat more fruit than anything though because I know I'll regret it big time if I don't do that but it's kinda' hard to resist junk food especially when we're all home. I'm actua...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LOST! I think anyway...and that's without taking apidexin or any other diet pills, mind you. I'm pretty sure though that I'm going to gain it back in no time since I'm back to my regular appetite. I kinda' know how I lost those 2 lbs, well, beside to not having the same appetite. It's one of the effects of me being worried the past two weeks. It seems the 2-week ordeal I just went through had quite an effect on me. Aside from what I already mentioned other factors such as not being able to sleep, etc. resulted to my mini weight loss, I also have pimples on the side of my face that's hurting like heck and some on my scalp which makes combing uncomfortble. Obviously, worrying has its good and bad effect to the body. Sadly, the bad outweighs the good so I still don't recommend it. Ha!

Right in our backyard. It's fun to watch them grow and bear fruits especially to me and the little one because we're only used to seeing them in stores...cleaned and ready to eat. We also have some blueberries but the pictures I took turned out to be blurry. Aside from the fruit trees/plants we have, I also planted some veggies in pots like this one.. ...tomatoes. Two of them have flowers already. It's my first time to plant veggies so I'm excited about them. Too bad my eggplants didn't pull through. Maybe next time....

Time to hit the hay. My allergy is acting up again so I better go before I sneeze my head off. It's been a productive day today. I was able to do some work. The back porch is all set for some summer relaxing. Yeah! The little one is very happy because we put cushions on the chairs there as well as a new table to go with the set. She even suggested that we should sleep in the back porch tonight because it's comfy. Ummm....not quite. There is only one lounge chair and she already claimed it as hers....so where would Daddy and Mommy sleep? Apparently...on the other chairs. Anyway, time to go night night....see you all next time...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What's a wise investment anyway? I can still remember when I first started working. Several of my older co-teachers had some sidelines going on. One of their sidelines was selling different pieces of jewelry. They were mostly gold jewelry like necklace, earrings & bracelets. Most of us would buy a piece almost every month because it's common knowledge that investing in gold is always a good way to prepare for the future. The only thing is I'm not really into wearing jewelry. I'm fine with just a pair of earrings and a watch. So the jewelry I bought then were either given to my sister or to my mother which was fine by me but that also meant that my 'investments' were given away. Today, gold is still one of the better ways to invest. Its value does not go down as quickly as other investments and it's easy to sell because it's something that everybody likes.But if ever I decide to invest in gold, I'm going to buy gold...

Long weekend for us. The hubs will be home for the duration of the 3-day weekend. Guess who's the happiest about that? The little one, of course! She never fails to ask Dad every Friday if he'll be home for the weekend so when the Dad said yes this time around, she was over the moon. Anyhooo....have a great weekend everyone....and have a safe Memorial Day!
