Every year, our high school holds its annual homecoming for alumni like me. I haven't attended one since forever but I'm always updated with what's happening and what we need to do to help out. Our high school was built for only one purpose...to serve those who cannot afford to send their kids to high school. It basically runs on donations. At first it had a lot of benefactors to support it. Today it runs on our support...its alumni. Every year we get a list of the things the school needs or will need in the coming school year. This year they need a lot of things including lockers. The ones they currently have are either too old already or had been damaged by flooding. I volunteered to look for lockers for sale either online or off. Our batch doesn't have a lot of funds so we're counting on either finding good deals or even buying used lockers that are still in good condition. I would rather go with finding new ones at a good deal but if we can't find the ones ...

At least that's what our meteorologists say. If it's true then we will have a low of low 40s and high in the 60s only. On Saturday, we're expecting a below freezing temperature in the morning. The whole weekend will have highs in the 60s only. It's going to be one ideal weather for the man of the house. Me? I'm going to bundle if ever we decide to head out. The 'bug' that victimized me and the little one is finally gone. This time around the hubs was spared. That's probably because we tried to stay away from him when we had it [both the little one and yours truly]. I guess it worked because this is supposed to be his week [to have the cold] and so far no sniffles/sneezes or clearing of throat on his end. I guess some might find it odd that I said 'it's his week to get the cold' but that's how it's been the last 3 times we had the bug here. It's 3 weeks in a row....one week for each one to nurse the pesky bug. It sounds silly but...

As early as now, I can tell that the little one likes womens urban fashion . It's evident with the choices she makes when it comes to her clothing. She likes boots, skirt with leggings on, blazers and anything that she calls 'hip'. Two weekends ago we even went shopping because she was looking for a top that will go with an ensemble she created. While we were at the mall she also asked us if she can get a pair of boots to go with her ensemble. Being a Daddy's girl, she got everything she asked for. Well, almost everything...and that's because I was there to say no to some of her wants. Anyway, I know that she didn't take after me when it comes to her fashion sense. That's simply because I don't have any. I am the jeans-shirt-sandals kind of girl. I don't layer my clothing to look 'cool' or hip. I layer my clothing because I'm cold. She on the other hand does that to obtain a certain look. I must say [being her Mom I guess..ha!] that she...

My inboxes are drowning with advertisements. Sales, last minute deals, free shipping guaranteed to make it by the 24th...etc, etc. That's all I get in my inboxes nowadays. All these establishments trying to get us to do some last minute shopping. I have not fallen in their trap...so far. I might if I don't delete the emails right away though. On the other hand, I have a good self control when it comes to these things. I rarely fall for them. So I guess I'm good in that department. Ha! Anyway, I can understand why we're being bombarded with all these hard to ignore offers. Christmas is right around the corner. It's less than a week to go. We don't do the countdowns as much anymore because somebody here has grown out of that already. She still taps on that countdown tree ornament we have hanging on our tree every now and then but not as often as she used to when she was much younger...which was several times a day. She's still excited about Christmas itself ...

They're saying that now is the best time to buy real properties. It would have been a perfect time for us to invest into it if only our other house will be sold already...but it's not. This just goes to show how hard it is to actually sell a property nowadays. Still, this didn't stop us from traveling to another state to look at prospective properties. We haven't bought any yet just because we're still weighing our options as to what kind of property we want to buy and where. Yes, we're not sure yet where we want to buy. Hubby is still all over the internet looking at things like  orange beach real estate as well as some more in Georgia and even in the Philippines. Honestly, I have no idea where we're looking. I thought we're only looking somewhere not that far from here. Apparently, no. I know we've talked about maybe moving across the pond in the future. I just didn't realize he's also considering the west coast. Maybe it's all just ...
