Back to the grind.

Today I had to go into work. I was totally bummed because I really wanted to take the day off for Graem's birthday. In fact, when I came home she had a horrible belly ache and ended up not eating. She didn't even want to do her birthday cake.

You know she's sick when she asks to go to bed...

Cold feet.

My feet are freezing. I don't have any good snow boots and so typically I wear my clogs or I wear my hiking boots. But my hiking boots aren't dress enough to wear to work. Maybe I'll look at some polo boots. Not only are they stylish but they look warm too!

Now I just have to find a good deal...

Playroom.

Well we're doing it. We started dismantling the playroom a few days ago and now we're working on painting it. Shawna did the electrical work and then we finished painting the ceiling today. Shawna did the first coat of trim this afternoon. I think she might get to the other side of the room tomorrow. We're going to take it slow and do it good instead of driving ourselves crazy trying to get it done.

Hopefully we'll be able to get it done over the next few days!

It's time.

I typically wait way too long to buy glasses. At this point my lenses are totally scratched and the frames are totally out of adjustment. I'm looking for a few pair of cheap glasses that I can buy and alternate.

I'd love to have a few trendy pair that are colored and coordinate them to what I'm wearing. I've thought about going online and looking at the opticals but I'm scared that I might get the wrong measurements, etc.

Tis the season?!

I'm looking for a good gift for Shawna. Typically, if she wants or needs something she just goes out and buys it. I think she's set when it comes to clothes and she's the one that actually buys everything for everyone!

Maybe I'll just buy her the second toilet for the bathroom. I know it sounds drab but she really loves house stuff. OR...I might even splurge and get the playroom carpeted!

Bro?

I'm still looking at what to get my brother for Christmas. We talked about getting each other the charge pads so that we can drop our electronics on a single pad and they can get charged.

But he might also want a football gift! He's never really been into sports but this year he's really started getting into football!

I can just see him in front of the television watching his favorite team wearing one of those tacky football jerseys!

I'm guessing he probably doesn't get many NFL games in Singapore!

It's just ThursdaY?

This week has gone so slow. Tomorrow is the annual Christmas party at my work and we have yet to get gifts. I'm hoping to find something good but I haven't had any luck!

Maybe Shawna will find something over the next few days.

Saturday we're going to check out the chowder festival and then we're having dinner with friends.

Sunday I hope we can just rest. I think Shawna has intentions of PAINTING.

Give me gold, please!

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

US Gold Bureau 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 US Gold Bureau 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!

Maybe a day or two?

I asked for quite a few days off of work but I got shut down. We have so much work that I can't just turn it down and not do it! Plus, I get tons of work done when noone's in the office and when I'm not getting tons of calls.

SO....Shawna's able to take off for the holidays and do kid time and I'm going to try to take off some time and spend it with the kids.

I know I'm going to be sucked into helping Shawna paint the playroom...I can just feel it!

We love TV!

We absolutely love our 52" Samsung HDTV. We got it a few years ago and it's performed perfectly!! I wish I could say as much about the Samsung Blu-Ray/Home Theatre package we bought....Grrrr.

We purchased a 32" Sony Bravia for the bedroom and the picture quality isn't as good and it just doesn't look as sharp.

I'm a true Samsung TV girl and would recommend them to anyone!

Weekend?

This weekend is a biggie!

We're going to head out Saturday to pick up a tree and decorate it. Shawna is taking the kids Saturday morning to music class and I'm going to put a few hours in at the office. Then we're going to meet up for lunch.

After we get the Christmas tree up we're going to try and take the perfect Christmas photo. SHould be interesting!

Get up on the...

nano vapor reviews! I'm all about reading reviews these days. In fact, I've been looking into some supplements to help with weight loss because I don't want to do pharmaceuticals like I did last time.

I want to stick with an all natural remedy that will help with the process and not throw my body out of whack.

Plus, I really have the philosophy that no small pill can help you change your habits.

The good thing about my dieting is that I feel the need to get healthy and right now I've built up momentum and have the strength to do it!

All work...

little play.

So these days I've been going into work at the regular time coming home at regular time and then after I put the kids I've been putting in another 2-3 hours of work.

I'm exhausted. But...I'm trying to set myself up so that I can actually take a few days off for the holidays.

Then I'm guessing Shawna will put me to work doing housework.

Damn.
