I spent a good part of my morning yesterday cleaning our car. Everytime I get into it I would always do a mental note to clean it one of these days. Unfortunately, I couldn't because it's never on our driveway for a long period of time...until yesterday when we decided to just stay home instead of running errands. The car needed replaced..err...cleaned badly so it took hours to clean it. I've been cleaning it for about a couple of hours when hubby decided to join me. While we were scrubbing & washing away dirt, we started discussing about some changes in our car insurance policy. Since I don't drive yet, I am not in the policy as a driver yet. It's also the reason why I can't practice driving using that car. Yesterday, we decided that we should probably look into adding me to the policy so I can do some practice driving already. Guess who is tasked to do the searching for some affordable car insurance rates??? M-E! Of course.... That's what I've bee...

I guess that's more like what's happening in other states but unlike those states, we're not experiencing snow today. But we're still chillin' at home today since we were out the whole day yesterday hopping from one store to another. We went out with a mission yesterday...to find a PC for me. We didn't quite fulfill the mission...instead we came home with something else...a new TREE! So it's not a total loss. Oh...and we got the PC also but online. What a surprise....NOT! Right now, the little one is busy carving her pumpkin in the back porch. I was trying to help her earlier but she wants to do it all by herself so I'm letting her do it. I just check on her every now and then. Okay...the pumpkin is done. She goofed up and cut some parts she shouldn't but she somehow saved it. Here's the finished product... I asked her to ask Dad to help her but it's supposed to be her surprise to him so she refused to ask for help...LOL. She likes suprising ...

Yep, that is the question! One of the firs things I 'discovered' when I started looking for ways to make some extra money while I stay home with the little was home scanning. For those not familiar with it, it's when you scan the groceries or any products you buy in stores using one of those barcode scanners similar to what they use in stores. The information gathered by the scanner is then sent to the company I scan for through the phone where the transmitter is connected. The main aim of this is to help research companies like the one I'm scanning for in determining prices in different stores from different places. Anyway, I've been contemplating in quitting this 'sideline' for a couple of reasons. The original company I did this for was bought out by a bigger company a few years ago so a lot has changed already and I'm not particularly happy with the changes. The other reason is my busy schedule. My main aim when I joined was the extra income. It doe...

After a late breakfast this morning, we decided to head out. The main purpose of the trip was to look at some PCs because that's the hubby's present to me for my 21st. :) We also wanted to look at some fireplaces that we've always wanted to put in the living room. We can't go with traditional ones because we don't have the space for it so it's kinda' challenging to look for one. Anyway, we hopped from one store to another and as soon as we entered the first store, one thing was clear...the holiday season IS just around the corner...or is it? It's only Halloween on Monday so we were quite taken aback when Christmas stuff greeted us at the door of the store. Are people sending out holiday invitations already as well or is it only the commercial establishment that are jumping the gun? Honestly, we can't even decide anymore if we should be looking at Halloween stuff or Thanksgiving stuff or Christmas stuff. It seems these 3 come as a "package deal...

There they are. Busy having a conversation...according to the little one anyway. Dad ordered them online and they arrived today. Of course the little one was ecstatic when she realized why the mail lady knocked on our door. She's been playing with them since I took them out of the box and she carries at least one around with her. She even sat Alvin on the table while she's having her dinner and sat one of the Chippetes...not sure which one...on her desk while she's doing her work. She's nuts about these characters at the moment and I don't see it waning anytime soon. She even listens to their music when she gets the chance. As long as she doesn't sing like them, then it's fine by me for her to listen to "munks" music. She knows that if she starts singing like them, then her 'munks' listening time will no longer exist. One day she can't wait to be a grown up, the next day she's so into these characters. I'm glad though that she s...

Maybe? At least that's what I'm hoping the husband will have next week. They had a pretty intense week because they had some clients pretty much the whole week. I believe this is the most intense I've seen them yet since they started this business. Their clients wanted to make sure the machines are working according to the specifications they set up. From what I understand, the end user of the machine is a big company so they're a wee bit more strict. I heard they were satisfied with the product so that's a good thing. Today, hubby spent his time doing what he usually does...working on things he wasn't able to do while the customers were around like looking for degreasers they need for the shop. I've been to that place and degreasers are probably one of the most used item in there. They don't need them only for the machines and tools they use but on most surfaces in the shop. Looking for degreasers is only one of the many things he had to do though. A l...

I appreciate the guest post, Ignacio Phillips When I began college four years ago, I decided that I wanted to get a degree in something I was interested in. My mom always told me that I should get that type of degree, but also get a degree in something in which I can easily find a job. I am starting to think I should have listened to her. I got a degree in history because I always found history fascinating. I knew that someday I wanted to teach, but I am now realizing that I should have gotten a degree in social studies education and gotten my teaching certification. I have been searching different Virginia Internet Providers because I need to do some research online to find out if I can get a teaching certification with only a history degree. My mom is a teacher and my dad is a principal, so they were pleased when I told them I thought I wanted to teach. My dad said that he will use all the connections he has to find me a job in the school in which I want to teach. The first thing I h...
