My aching head!

Lately, I've been getting some pretty bad headaches. I've never had a migraine. However, I'm wondering if these headaches might be considered something like that.

I think more than likely they are allergy related and for some reason our house has either gotten dusty or moldy and my head is paying for it!

It could be that we have a new heater that has a humidifier. This is great and all --- but it also makes mold build on the window sills faster and each day you can wipe the windows and get black on the towel!

We want a new TV!

There's really nothing wrong with the televisions we have except we want bigger and better. More than likely when/if we remodel we'll make the upstairs (new room) our family room and get a nice big screen television and home theatre system!

Of course, we'll also have to be in the market for tv stands too. Our local vendors don't have a very good selection so I'm guessing we might have to find a good vendor on the internet.

Oh man...

Shawna has this mad idea that she's not going to shave her legs til the third trimester of her pregnancy. Of course, she's at the second trimester now and I must admit...it's getting pretty wooley!

I can only imagine what would happen if she had a gold anklet! I think it'd probably get lost in the mass of leghair and it'd be gone forever!

We should really look into..

making our air better with air purifiers!

We looked a few years ago and didn't know where to start because there are so many different options. Plus, we weren't sure where in our house we'd put it since we have a pretty small house and they tend to take up a lot of room.

Maybe we can get a good deal on one and order it before spring time and the baby gets here!

I'm so fat.

I'm starting to realize that I'm on the pregnancy diet too. Of course, Shawna's the one that's pregnant this time and even she has only gained a few pounds over the past 16 weeks!

I keep saying that I've got to do something about my weight but maybe I should look into seeing a lap-band doctor. JourneyLite.com offers a great and less evasive way to lose weight than the typical banding procedures.

They have offices in a few of the big cities out there and I'm sure that I'd be a pretty good candidate for the surgery.

Happy Monday!

Okay, not really.

Our non-productive weekend started with us purchasing Super Mario Galaxy Friday night. We played a little bit and went to bed.

Then Saturday came around and we ran some errands, did some shopping, and came home and played more Mario and watched television.

Fast forward to yesterday. Sunday we literally didn't do a thing. Graem stayed in her pajamas all day and we watched many episodes of Tom and Jerry, played more video games, and caught up on Weeds.

Of course, this morning I'm back in reality and realize that I probably should have put a few hours in at work.

Crap.

Las Vegas!

I'm not sure we'll get a chance to check out Las Vegas again but I was quite impressed at all of the hotels in Las Vegas when we visited a few summers ago!

Some of them had so much decor it was a little overwhelming! Of course, I wish we were able to enjoy the fine dining a little bit more.

Next time, we're going to have to check it out without kids in tow!

Watch me!

I've never been one to wear watches. I had one that my father bought me while we were vacationing in the Carribbean, but I have no idea where it is or if it still works.

I am starting to realize that I need to increase my look a little bit and look a little bit more professional. With that I'm thinking about dressing nicer and maybe adding a little jewelry to my wardrobe!

I especially like Franck Muller watches. They are sophisticated and might be the style that completes my look.

A day of rest...

Well, today has been a funfilled day! We went first to the mall to finish up all of the Christmas shopping we had to do.

Then we went to the commons to check out the ice sculptures and some good food!

Graem woke up way too early this morning and she's been a major crab this whole afternoon.

Of course, it's 4:00pm now and instead of giving her a nap we're all just hanging out in front of the television playing Mario.

I love a good auction!

A few years ago when we were looking for a mortgage for our house we did tons of legwork and spent so much time trying to get the best deal.

I wish we would have known about NameYourLoan.com, America's 1st Online Mortgage Auction!

I love a good auction and it seems like it would cut to the chase and allow all of the companies to come together and work for your business. Not only would this have saved us a lot of time - it could have saved us a lot of money too!

NameYourLoan.com Diversifies Current Lending Environment for Borrowers with New Approach to Online Mortgage Loans.

New online mortgage auction site, NameYourLoan.com, has revolutionized the way borrowers obtain mortgage loans online. As a unique and creative online community, borrowers can easily connect with the best mortgage lenders while lenders benefit from a wealth of real time mortgage leads and opportunities for business growth.

(PRWEB) – In today’s tough lending environment, littered with deceitful lenders and cunning tactics, it’s high time for a revolutionary tool that can empower borrowers yet still benefit lenders. NameYourLoan.com has answered the need with the launch of a new online mortgage auction site designed to give consumers access to an increasing mortgage lenders network to ultimately obtain great online mortgage loans.
“For centuries, auctions have been the most efficient and effective way to get the best deals in everything,” says Al Salahi, President and CEO of NameYourLoan.com. “Why not have auctions for all mortgage loan types?”
NameYourLoan.com is an online community where borrowers can easily connect with the best mortgage lenders. Lenders compete with one another in an online auction to win the borrower’s business. As numerous lenders submit loan offers, the site enables consumers to see “apples to apples”, compare mortgage interest rates and achieve the lowest rate mortgage online such as the best home equity loan rate or home refinance loan.
The site’s sophisticated computer system compiles and calculates all the information submitted by lenders (interest rates, points, fees, terms, etc.) and then ranks loan offers, based on their true worth relative to the borrower’s stated preferences (lowest rate, lowest fees or best combination of rates and fees). This simplified process gives borrowers a coherent presentation of information without having to do the math themselves.
Unlike other online mortgage comparison shopping services, only those lenders who come out at the top of the auction with the lowest interest rates and fees get a chance at the borrower’s business. Moreover, borrowers can invite their friend or relative lender to participate in the borrower’s auction quickly and without cost. Lenders who refuse to participate are most likely high priced and not the best mortgage lenders.
“Through advanced technology, we are starting to make haggling and deceptive lending tactics a thing of the past,” explains Salahi. “At the same time, we are transforming a generally stressful and complicated process into a very pleasant and easy experience for borrowers. Our multiple bid auction format, coupled with constant consumer feedback, will make it easy for us to weed out dishonest lenders—and hopefully put them out of business!”
Use of NameYourLoan.com is completely free for borrowers. Borrowers are under no obligation to accept any of the online mortgage loans offered in the auction. To protect against identity theft and fraud, site users are never asked for sensitive information, and lenders that receive multiple consumer complaints will be barred from future auctions.
For more information, visit NameYourLoan.com.
About NameYourLoan.com:

NameYourLoan.com uses a patent-pending concept powered by sophisticated proprietary software that has been developed by a number of technology heavyweights from the Fortune 500 arena.

A little bit here...little bit there.

So I'm looking out of my window and I'm really trying to work. However, I just want to be in my warm house, in my pajamas watching television and hanging out with the girls!

I keep hoping that the snow picks up a bit so that I can head home!

Of course, I would have to shovel the driveway and do laundry.

Maybe work isn't too bad afterall!

Show me the silver!

One thing that never loses it’s value is us silver coins! Even when our stocks are floundering you can always look to silver, gold, and precious metals to maintain their value.

Monex Deposit Company offers silver, gold, and other precious metals for delivery or they will make arrangements to have your metals stored privately and securely at a bank or depository.

I didn’t realize this but Monex Deposit Company (MDC) is an industry leader. They sell gold in two forms: coin or ingot. The world demand now exceeds the supply demand for gold - which makes it a pretty smart investment.

Especially with the economy doing so poorly and people losing all of their investments with the stock market!

Brrr.

Well, winter has hit full force. I can't believe the past few days have brought on so much snow! In fact, just a day ago I was raking up leaves and now we have close to a foot of snow on the ground and due to get another 6 inches or so this evening.

I was able to get into work pretty easily and there wasn't too much ice on the ground.

I don't think Shawna realized how snowy it was until she got the call this morning that her doctor's appointment at 1:00pm had been cancelled!
