New 'Three Stooges'

Image
It's rated PG or Parental Guidance. The little one is a die hard 3-stooges fan so much so that she had to 'mortgage' the rest of her baby teeth to the Tooth Fairy in order to get the money to buy the enitre DVD collection of the old series. Anyway, she's been bugging me if she can watch the film. I have not decided yet if we'd watch it in the theater or just wait for it in DVD. She really wants to see and I have a feeling we MAY just go watch it.

Confidant

Hubby likes to help other people especially if they ask for it. It is this trait of him that makes other friend/acquaintances & family alike go to him or ask him from the most complex to the simplest stuff. Sometimes I even think that some of them just don't want to do anything anymore because he'd willilingly do it for them. Of course there's a demarcation line somewhere as to what he'd do for somebody. Anyway, this is also the reason why he also gets asked or told of some unusual stuff [mostly personal] sometimes especially by some of his [older] male friends...which by the way is the majority of his friends. What kind of weird stuff? This particular asked him at one point on some advice how to keep it burning in the bedroom. You know what I mean? I didn't even know men ask such things amongst themselves. Hubby said not usually. I guess this guy was desperate or maybe hubs just gives off the vibe that he can be asked anything. I don't know. Anyway, I don...

Disastrous!

That's what happens when you let someone else make breakfast and there's the proof... I wouldn't say who the culprit is but it's not a girl. Hmmm...anyway, he wanted breakfast pronto so he decided to take matters into his own hands and this was what happened. He actually thought it was rather funny when it started overflowing that HE TOOK A PICTURE OF HIS MASTERPIECE. The waffles came out perfect though and we had a lovely breakfast. He was just left in cleaning the mess he made. Normally if he cooks, I clean. This time around...na-uh! The mess was too big so he had to clean it up. In fairness...the gridler came out cleaner than ever that it actually looks brand new right now. Hmmm...maybe I will ask him to make dinner some time. What do you think????

Deep Cleaning...

Doing household chores has always been one of my favorite stress reliever. I'm serious. When my boring online jobs get that...boring and stressful I would stop and do some household chores to release the stress. Mind you, I never run out of any [hello housewives!] so I can always de-stress. If you ask me though what my favorite chore is, I would have to say vacuuming. It's simple but you have to keep moving to do it. Since we didn't have carpet at home when I was growing up it's only here that I actually learned how to do it and that's prabobly one of the reasons why I like doing it. I vacuum at least once a week. But even if I do it weekly, I know our carpet doesn't really get 'that' clean. I know we need to have deep cleaning every once in a while so I'm planning in looking for a place like carpet cleaning chapel hill nc but locally since we're not in North Carolina. I know we have some around the area because we had a couple of people knock o...

All Grown Up

My little girl that is. In a few weeks, she'll be another year older. Just like a lot of parents like me, I'm still in awe as to how fast she has grown before our eyes. She's almost as tall as me a few weeks ago which means she may be taller than me now. She's starting to ask us questions that are more 'grown-up' kind of questions. She's a girl so a lot of her questions now have something to do with vanity...in general. She's a very smart girl but she still believes a lot of the things she sees on TV, on magazines..in other words, advertisements. Just like a lot of girls her age, she's fascinated with how perfect the models look on magazines. I have to tell her that a lot of them have professional airbrush makeup done on them to look that way. I want her to be aware that there has been some alterations done to these models pictures to look that good. So far she's been grasping it all pretty good. I'm just hoping she'll continue to have a...

It's Spring Alright...

Like I posted yesterday, spring is very much here. Besides the plants that have started to show some life, the weather has been rather pleasant. Last weekend we stayed in the back porch for a good 5 hours just sitting around. Well, I sat around with a laptop while the little one was hula hooping/playing/swinging. The husband was at work unfortunately because he had to finish some work. As I was sitting in our screened porch, I can't help but imagine our backyard with modern outdoor seating furniture. What we have right now are the traditional ones and I like them. They're comfortable and free because somebody gave them to us a few years ago because they were getting new set. We only had to repaint them and replace the cushions and they're like brand new already. Still, I'm imagining the time when we can actually get us some new ones....and I wouldn't mind getting the more modern kind of outdoor furniture. Dreaming on....I mean moving on....

The Most-Awaited Day!

I bet that's how you feel as well, eh? I definitely feel that way even if my week has not been crazy busy. I just like the idea of the weekend. It's like weekend = freedom. Doncha think? Anyway, I'm thinking of doing some much needed weeding on our flower beds in front. The dollar weeds are popping up/out in different places and I don't want them to overtake our little garden. It's easier to see them now because the plants that we have are just starting to come out from their hibernation. Hopefully I'll be able to pull those pesky weeds out before the plants get bigger. Enjoy your weekend everyone!
