she's been waiting for this!!!

One more sleep and off to Las Vegas for good will my sister-in-law be! Days passed by so quick I can see! It was just late last year when she accepted the job at UNLV and though people around here don't want her to go, Daisy is Daisy-- unstoppable in her own way! She's all packed now and on Monday, she's gonna be starting to report to her newfound haven- the University of Nevada in Las Vegas. I know she is very excited right now, who wouldn't be?

Farewell parties have all been set and done but a lot of things are still needed for her settling in Vegas. Well, hopefully, all of her plans will be a success and for now, I wish her the best of luck. Her cake says what we all need to tell her. So the deal is, we will be left here in her home and by summer, she's coming back to take her daughter and Ma and Pa with her. We will go, too, if the husband will not have a job by then.

All five of us are in prayer for her safe and sound moving out. It's tough I know, but she can make it well! This is what she's been waiting for- a new environment and a higher job position. Because of her guts and how she gets things that she wants, she deserves this! Good luck Dais, and have fun. I know you will. You're so good at that, eh?

Engagement Ring

Why do people get so excited with engagement rings that women usually receive from their guys? I even think there's so much fuss about it especially with the Hollywood people. The diamonds become so crucial in any engagement ring that people tend to compare the prices and get so annoying when they have to mention the price and literally compare which is cheap or expensive. Don't you think so? I didn't have an engagement ring nor do I wear any ring at all. The husband and I are not into it and for us, a ring doesn't need to be put on to signify that indeed, you're married or taken or you're so precious to your man. For us, marriage vow is more than what material things can give and show.

But I am not against anyone who wears it of course. I know how important it is for some, especially because their culture matters. When my sister married a foreigner and her man gave her an engagement ring during the proposal, she was forced to accept it even if she doesn't wear one [like me] simply because her husband's family were looking for it in her finger. So yeah, engagement rings play a role in a couple's life, and most of the times, culture and tradition are the factors in having one. For me, I don't need one. But for you out there who are in the lookout of gorgeous engagement rings, you might want to check whiteflash.com! They have a huge selections that you will enjoy!

Dora lover

Yes, she became such a lover to Dora that along with all her other fave shows, she could already memorize Dora's lines in all her episodes. She sounds so funny and cute, let me tell you, every time she imitates Dora and so I decided to buy her a Dora plush. She when got hold of it, oh I can't tell you how much she's hooked on it. She even takes it w/ her even when she's on siesta time! Haha!

Need I say more?

Berkline Seats

Have you sat in a Berkline seat? Or do you own one? If you do, good for you! I could imagine what comfort you're having when you're in it! I always envy my elder sister who is sitting comfortably in such chair every time we chat and we're seeing each other through the web cam. I thought to myself, "I should get one when I have my own home someday!" Yay, wishful thinking eh? Well, actually, I might be able to afford on one since theaterseatstore.com are always having their Berkline seats on sale so we'll see. I felt like I was the most special person during my baby shower party more than two years ago when a very comfortable Bekline seat was reserved for me in our venue. So I got to realized that indeed, pregnant women are treated extra special whenever, wherever. At least, I'm saying based on my experience ah!

tGif

I should be happy and thankful that when I got up just minutes ago, I feel like I'm headache-free now! Thank God! Last night, it was swithart's and Triz's massage that put me to slumber and I thank and love them for that. :) I thought to myself, "what if I am without them?" Ah... wandering thought! I had a great time talking to Ate Eve and Yaya last night. We all shared our sentiments regarding the things that are happening back home in CDO right now. My brother isn't doing well with his life. He seemed to be not minding what's good for himself and his own family. It's painful because we tried so hard to help him with what his needs are but he never showed us that he gives any little value to what he currently has. And so, we're giving him a lesson: try to take away the stuff which are the reasons that he has abused us. Ahhh.... I know I didn't expressed very well what happened but I'll leave it that way. I talked to CDO people last night as well because I learned that my balikbayan box has finally arrived yesterday so I checked if things were good. And they are. Now, it's Friday and I wish everyone a wonderful weekend ahead.

Patio Furniture and Beyond

I couldn't count the days till we will finally be moving out from this place where we are living right now but I must confess, I can't wait for that time. Well, it's indefinite yet as we still don't have the final decision of where to settle as everything depends on the husband's job application so all I can do is hope and pray for that time to come. I know, the hassles and bustles of moving out and traveling, packing things up and unpacking are incomparably tough but at the end of the day, the fact that we will be settling in a place where either me and the husband has the say and the decision in choosing what to put and what nots, that alone gives me a different satisfaction. So home furniture-- you bet I am so anxious to be the one choosing them for our own home soon!

When it comes to patio furniture though, I'll give it to the husband to decide as he's in charge of the outside stuff. Of course, I still will be the one to have a final say on it and just right now, I couldn't get enough of the patio umbrellas I found at todaysswimandpatio.com! Tell me what you think of this Cantilever Umbrella:

Isn't it so neat and simple, and yet, super elegant-looking? I think so. I thought it would be a perfect color in a wooden patio with green lawn around. You can actually choose from a lot of patio umbrellas that the site has. They also have wicker furniture, just perfect enough for all your home furniture needs. Ahh... I am but bookmarking the site because for sure, it will be a great reference when the time comes.

so gloomy

It was such a very gloomy day today! When I got up this morning, I was greeted by thunders and lightnings and it was already 8 in the morning and yet, when I looked at outside, it was all wet and dark, seemed like it's already late in the afternoon when I just got out of the bedroom. It could have been fun and wonderful when it was sunny because the temperature rose up a bit today but nah.. there certainly was no desire or any to head out. So again, I chose to be a bed potato today. lol Most of my time doing my online tasks I was in bed. I did cooked meals though for breakfast and lunch so I still had some longer time standing up in the kitchen. Well, I have a slight headache right now, just one of those PMS stuff that women out there experiences and I certainly don't like having one! So you bet it added the gloominess I am feeling. BUT... my super entertainer toddler kept me up and going and oh.. I am loving every moment I am alive! :) Thank God for life! Tomorrow is Friday and I can't wait for another brand new and bright day!

Birthday Greeting Cards in March

Yes, the month of March just happens to be the month worthy of celebration. Why? Because I know a lot of loved ones and friends who will be birthdaying on such month! First, a friend on the 3rd, another on the 9th, an elder sister on the 13th, another friends on the 15th and 18th, a brother-in-law on the 20th, a couple more friends on the 23rd and 26th, another brother-in-law on the 27th, and last but certainly not the least, mine on the 28th! Yay!!! So I'll be a year older then, huh?! Have you counted the celebrants friends? We're a lot, right? And yes, I remember the dates pretty well. :) So expect me then to be sending a bunch of greeting cards starting next week! For some friends, online greeting cards like what bigheartcards.com has will do, but for my sister and BILs and some more friends, I gotta send them my personalized cards that I printed along with the recent photos of our getaways. Yes, I value birthdates, hence, my send-outs. But I wonder if my friends will remember my special day as well and send a card to me, too. That would be awesome. As for my very sister, I'm so sure to receive a card from her. And a present, too. Shhh... don't tell her my anticipation! :D

oranges, anyone?

I am munching some right now! Yummy!!!

Yes, I love oranges better than apples, though we've got apples here, too because Ma and Pa are into them a lot! I only got forced to munch on apples during my pregnancy because my OB-GYN recommended it to me for my heartburn. I think it helped, so try it if you experience frequent heartburn people! :) Anyway, yes, oranges! Thank God for them because it sure contributed big time for having us here a stronger immune system, especially during the flu season. I am just thankful that Triz loves them, too so I don't have a hard time letting her eat some. Oranges and grapefruits are our weapon in fighting for whatever sickness and believe it or not, they worked!

TV Stands

We got four sets of television here at home. All of them are being used in particular parts of the house and the smallest one which Triz uses for her shows is what I love the most because of its portability. We don't need tv stands right now but we are thinking of getting some soon when we could move out from here. You see, the TVs that we got right here are all old models, in fact, they're the tube style, and it's wasting to say that these will be left behind when we will move out. They still work perfect but because we couldn't take them with us, these will just be either thrown away or get dropped off. A suggestion on getting a tv stand that is movable is what I already have expressed to the husband and seeing a lot of them at standsandmounts.com, I think there'll be no problem then!

hooked on...

...tv and movies once again! Yep, by choice, I became a couch potato this past few days. Or make that bed potato to be exact! LOL Because of the declining blogging tasks, I made a point that my extra time here at home is spent for my leisure, and what better way to do it than being back to my favorite tv time and movie marathon. Of course my school time w/ Triz is not being affected. So we still have our library time and our school time here at home. But because of the interesting American Idol, I got hooked on it, not to mention the NBAs and NCAAs that swithart and I like to watch together. I also spent a good time on Oscars last Sunday and guess what, I got so anxious to watch the winning movies. Thing is, I don't go to theaters so DVDs are just my option. I thought it's gonna be on Netflix, the new films I meant, but when I learned that they won't be available in any video rentals till after at least two months, I got disappointed. Well, guess what, my disappointment led me to finding them online and since then, I am hooked and really becoming a bed potato. Now I need help on this one! LOL

MS Curriculum Is an Option

My dear husband truly has a heart for teaching. His studying here in the US for his graduate program is a desire to learn some more so he could have a lot to share once he's done with the degree because his dream is to go back to our home country and share what he could to his fellow humanity. I, on the other hand looked at teaching to be the least of my desires of profession. But that was before when I was still single. The fact is, my will and ambition have changed overtime. Now, opting to teach became an open plan. If only I could, I would. I think motherhood changes all that. My goal in the next three years is to become a nurse. And the first step to have it fulfilled is when the husband gets to finish his Ph.D. and then land on a stable teaching position.

But MS Curriculum is also an option. With it, I and the husband thought we could do well together when we're in the same profession. I am very familiar with the MS Curriculum degree as I tried enrolling in it when I first got here in the US four years ago. I had my transcript of records with my bachelor's degree evaluated and fortunately, most of the courses have been credited. I also just met a schoolmate in college back in Philippines but she's a BS Psychology major, and right now, she is taking MS Curriculum in one of the universities in Nevada and I must say, I was so wowed by her endeavor. Now I can't wait to start my plight. When the steps to be taken have been met, the husband and I are both on the same view that I should be taking the degree online so I just have to stay at home and be with my daughter to watch and care for her every day. With such desire, ST. Xavier's online Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction is being considered to be the best place to earn the degree. You should visit sxuonline.com because it's worth checking out!

wednesday thankfulness

I got a lot to be thankful for today and every day. I talked to my mother back home in CDO this morning. It's been some time since I last talked to her because every time I call, she isn't around as she's busy with what she's currently been to: canvassing. So it was great hearing a lot of news from her. Some are good, a lot are not so pleasant, but I am just happy that my mother dear is doing very well. Another thing that thrilled me today is the tasks I got from PayU. You see, I have seemed to be neglected for the past three weeks and I thought I am completely forgotten. :( Fortunately, I am not, because I am greeted by several assignments in my dashboard this morning when I logged in. The tasks aren't a lot, but I am contented. So I am thankful to PayU because that means, I still have one big reason to keep on updating this blog of mine. See, I chose them over another giant blogging network for this blog and I am glad to keep things up and running by writing what they could give me.

my haponesang niece

I can't get enough of Shai-shai. I can't stop looking at her, that is! Can you blame me? I missed her sooo much! Talking to her on the phone is always not enough, and her mom would often tease and ask me how come I have such concrete and so close attachment when I am only an aunt and I have my own daughter now? See, my concern to her is just beyond the sky. When I make a phone call to them or when I receive one from them, the very first thing I ask is "how's Shai-shai?" It's like I always fear and worry when she's sick and I always wish that I am around her in such times. The fact is, yeah, I am just an aunt, and I have my own daughter now, but things I feel for her never changed, and she'll always be my baby Shai, no doubt about that!

She is seven years old now and soon will be in 2nd grade. She's growing like a weed; in fact, almost as tall as her 5'2-feet-mom now. And what makes her "my baby"? Well, I took care of her during the first three years of her life. From her birth until she turned 3 years and 1 month old, when I left Philippines to come here and start my own family, I was there for her and with her. She was only three months old when her mom left her with me, and even during my sister's pregnancy, I was the one shouldering the pains and burdens that she was exhausting on me because her husband was in Japan working. I was the one who did all the grand birthdays she has had, from her first to 3rd birthdays. I knew her full well, and I always hope people around her right now would do as well. It was so hard on Yaya's [my sister, Shai-s mom] to leave her baby behind but she has all the trust in me that I'll be able to take care of her 100%. I assured her of that as well, and for a very concrete reason, Yaya and mine's sisterly bonding and love are just so solid and beyond compare. When I became a mom, my experience with Shai-shai has truly helped big time!

It's almost been a year since I last saw the whole family. I went home March last year and they've been there waiting for me since January. They went back to Japan in June and it was the last time we've had our bonding. Now I can't wait for their next big trip: to come and visit me here later this year or early next year. No definite time and date yet, but if things will turn out the way they've been planned, I wish to see them in HK and we'll come here together. Yay! Thing is, Shai could barely speak Bisaya already because her tongue has been twisted to speak Japanese since she got there in Japan. lol

Right now, Shai is having a slight fever as it's what I have been told by Yaya when we talked last night. In fact, Shai was in bed, in her room, wasn't able to get up to talk to me. I wish her well, as I always do all the time, and more than anything else, I hope she'll continue to be a one fine girl, obedient, beautiful inside and out, and will become one admirable creation to all her peers around her.

Blogging Continuously

So what's up with everybody in this very tough economic times? My elder sister in Japan was wondering if I still blog because she has not been hearing much from me about my blogging career lately. I haven't told her either to visit my blogs for new updates of Triz. I guess, there are a lot of things that keep people occupied these days. It's true, tasks and assignments are not that many lately, and taking a look at the positive side of it, it does give me a whole lot of time to be spent with my toddler's learning. Yes, we do have regular daily lessons around here and so far, so great! At the end of every day, I can tell she has a lot to relate about what we've studied and tackled for our class. Hehe... Makes everything smooth and real actually! Not to mention how fulfilling it is to teach your very own child just in the comfort of your own home.

On the other hand, I've noticed a lot of fellow bloggers out there who have been through some hateful comments that they've received in their blog posts. I am thinking about this vpn thing that my SIL has mentioned, which, accordingly, could serve as anonymizer. I wonder if this could help everyone of us who visit different blogs daily or this could maybe solve one's problem regarding secure internet protection. I don't know, I have yet to dig in the site about what vpn could do. It's interesting you know.

Meanwhile, I have to post a quick note about my toddler. Yesterday, we went to her ever "gwapong" [handsome, lol] pediatrician for her two and a half years old well-checkup and as expected, Triz is doing very well with her growth and development. Thank God there isn't a single problem or concern raised at all. I got so worried with her stuffy and congested nose especially during the night and when I asked Dr. Boe if everything is alright, his "yes" answer gave me no reason to panic.

:)

Our time at the clinic was overall great and Triz was very cooperative with what the doctor and the nurse asked of her. At first, she was hesitant to go to the doctor; thankfully, our playing pretend helped big time. She has said bye-bye to the weighing scale for baby already, as you can see from the right photo above, she was already on the weighing scale for big guys. She eagerly answered the questions that her doc asked her like "do you brush your teeth?", "do you eat vegetable?" and some more. Well, she's not gonna see Dr. Boe again till she'll turn 3 years old and by then, I am sure there'll be a lot more of "new" things she can do and show.

I guess this will be a good post to show to my sister then that I am still continuing to blog, even despite the blogging crisis, huh?! :)

Seeing Straight With Zenni

I am suppose to reveal right here the on soonest possible time what I just recently read that's very interesting; unfortunately, I got a migraine attack today, disabling me to face my computer but the good part is, it gave my eyes a break. It is actually about the link "Zenni Optical in the New York Times?!" which is very relevant to my search of finding an alternative source of eyeglasses. Yes, I am on eyeglasses right now as strictly prescribed by my eye doctor to avoid my worsening astigmatism, and having only a single pair which tend to be so overused, I think I found a great deal at Zenni Optical because they sell prescription eyeglasses for only $8! How's that? Quite affordable, right? Actually, I am meaning to order this one from them:

Zenni doesn't only sell prescription eyeglasses but they have a huge selection as well of stylish frames be it single vision lens, sunsensor (potochromic) lens, tinted sunglasses lens, bifocal lens and progressive lens. If you check the site, you will be amazed by how cheap their products are! Their prices are actually their explanation that seeing straight without breaking a bank is possible. Of course, in today's tumultuous economic times, we all want to solve our problems the cheapest way possible and for my need of another pair of eyeglasses, I'm settled so far to see straight with Zenni.
:)

i'm going red. happy valentine's day!!!

I've been meaning to do some tweakings around here but I just couldn't find the time. I wish to build a new template up but I feel like not pursuing anymore just thinking of the hard work. Haha! Stubborn, eh? I got tired looking at the greenery, and so, I am turning red. I'm sorry if you don't like the change but for now, this blog's going to stay this way because the blogger feels like going reddish. Blame it on the love month, baby! lol Well, yeah, this is my way of celebrating Valentine's day and so I'm giving you no chance to argue! Haha! So how and where's the celebration's going to be, friends? For me, it's just the same usual day, but we'll see if there'll be surprises. I''ve a hint that there is a little and I can't wait. For now, me and my loves would like to greet you all a happy heart's day. We're literally on top of the world in this picture, on the 94th story of the John Hancock Observatory in Chicago and our smiles do tell we're happy and inlove. :D

So we wanna spread the love friends! Keep loving... it's the most wonderful gift to have been given!

A Brand Identity Guru

In my Advertising class during college days, I must say I have loved what I learned. I remember our instructor who used to tell me that I've got these so "in", "hot", and relevant thoughts on marketing and advertising strategy. She said I should be working in a Marketing Company because according to her, my suggestions and the current ideas that just pop out in my head would be a huge help in a company. Well, it's unfortunate that I wasn't able to take such track because right now, I am but a plain homemaker and there is no way yet that I could be working in any marketing company soon. I guess my desire has changed and shifted as time passed by, but when a good chance will allow me to work in any related field, I won't hesitate to share what I can share.

I believe a brand plays a very big, if not the biggest factor in a company in reaching the target market and making the product a hit. I am no brand guru but there's one site that I could recommend wherein a certain marketing company can see and test if the brand they're using is strong enough to be that effective to the target audience. Brandidentityguru.com-- it is what the site is! Check the site now if you or you know someone who might find it interesting!

To Chicago We Went

Yes, to Chicago we were gone yesterday! It was all an impromptu trip. I was unprepared activity-wise because last Wednesday night, SIL said we couldn't make it the following day as she is too busy with work and with the latest huge project that was assigned to her recently, she said it's impossible for her to go out. So I never expected we could go. I didn't even sign the form up yet. Well, I did have all my requirements for passport renewal already but the form wasn't signed up at all. So yesterday, SIL reported to work as usual. But at 10:10am, just thirty minutes after we got up from bed (:D) she called up and told us that she could make it and she'll be coming home in 30 minutes so we will drive to Chicago. Whoah! I was all in a rush! So off we went. Going 80mph average [yes, she oversped, like 90mph! lol], we made to the Philippine Consulate by 1:50pm. Did I say it was very cold, windy, and the parking is toooooo expensive? Haha! But well, Chicago, so it's a given, eh?

My appointment at the embassy took more than 2 hours. Gosh, Embassy employees, as usual, gave me and all other clients a lot of reasons to complain. But nope, I won't be complaining in this post. Haha! As long as I'm done with it already. Now I just have to wait for 6 weeks for the "new" machine-readable passpport of mine to arrive in the mail. As soon as I was done at the consulate, we just went out in the famous Millennium Park and have Triz pose for some shots for her souvenir of her Chicago trip for the first time! It was unbearably cold, so we decided to skip touring Navy Pier; instead, went up to the John Hancock Observatory where Triz, swithart, and I had a blast and really enjoyed the most! I still have to upload my hundreds of photos we took while on the 94th story of the building. It was great seeing the city of Chicago in an awesome 160 degrees angle. It was our first time, all three of us [swithart and I were at Sears Tower in 2005 when Triz was not around yet] and we all had a great time! Here's our shot that the John Hancock Observatory pro photographers took of us.

As I said, I got a lot of photos and I'll share them soon. The day won't be complete without a trip to the Filipino market in Clark Road. We got there late already as it was already very traffic but good thing that the store was still open. So I shopped Pinoy stuff like there was no tomorrow! Haha! We got home at 10:30pm, all tired and knocked down, except Triz because she was all sleep the whole driving time, to and fro. It was a quick and a rush trip, but we had a great time!

I think I am Convinced...

Well, that's with how the husband insists that I don't need any kind of those weight loss supplements that's out in the market today because if I'll just have to keep going with hula hooping via Wii Fit, he says I'll get there. I believe so, too, and the most important factor right now is to consistently spend at least 30 minutes on the balance board having my hips do all the turning and swaying and just let my body sweat it all away, baby! lol However, I've been absent lately for two days. :( The other day, I was so busy and Ma and Pa couldn't get away from the TV so I haven't really found time to have my session. Yesterday, we were gone to Chicago the whole day so I didn't have the time again. Should I make it up today? You bet! I think I need consistency with my daily exercising to really get there. So sites tha offer weight loss solutions will just be a good read for me right now. Well, you can check weightloss.sybervision.com if you're interested!

mine is a fabulous blog!!!

Yep, this very blog of mine, that's already been running for more than a year now is one fabulous blog! Who says so? Well, Gagay of Walking Newspaper thought so! Isn't it so nice of her to consider my blog as one fabulous site? Hmm... thanks a lot 'Gay!

I am not sure if I am this deserving of this acknowledgment, especially that Gagay considered me as her sole recipient. Haha! Biased, eh? But at any thought, I am grateful. This is enough to make my day! :)

Of course, it is my pleasure to pass this on to my blogger friends who I think have fabulous blogs as well!

Of Watches

This is the wristwatch that I bought last Christmas which I gave to my elder sister and her two gorgeous daughters who are no doubt growing to be blossoming ladies. Yep, I bought three of this for each of them and when they received it, they sure loved it! I think I chose a kind that's perfect for their liking and I am so glad they liked it very much. Well, there are a lot of this kind and so many others more at kenmarwatches.com if you're wondering where to get a good quality wristwatch. Victorinox Swiss Army watches have a lot of variations and I can't get enough of one particular kind which I think is perfect for swithart! Last holiday season, I bought a lot of watches as presents and that included one for hubby so for now, I think he doesn't need one yet because what he has still works perfectly fine. But to all of you who are in the lookout for watches, it won't hurt to check kenmarwatches.com. I'm telling you, the site rocks!

chicago, here we come!

Yep, we're heading for Chicago any day soon! But it depends to SIL's and swithart's schedule though! What for? Because my passport is expiring in May and it's already February now. Oh my, I am such a "paki ko" person! Haha! So yeah, I need to appear at the Philippine Consulate in Chicago which is not a problem at all since it's only less than 3 hours away from here so it's gotta be any day this week or next week. It should be fun because we will be spending a day in Chicago and I can't wait since it's going to be Triz's first time to be there. We will just see when's the schedule would fit. SIL planned of a lot of activities since it is going to be her last time to hit the city as she will be moving to Vegas pretty soon. It's a matter of deciding when would it be because we want to have Cyndi go with us but her classes is Monday to Friday so we're in the process of asking for her school's permission. Whenever tha's going to be, me, Triz, Ma and Pa are always available! LOL

To Buy or Not To Buy

I have a confession to make. I received this e-mail alert of the sales and promos from my favorite electronic store online and since then, I can't get enough of the Kodak ultra-slim 10MP digital camera which is being sold in bundle with all the needed accessories in it especially the higher capacity sd card. The price is very low, as far as how I think it is, and I am wondering if swithart would give me a go signal if I'll decide to get it. Thing is, my current Canon 8MP digicam still works perfectly, but has already a lot of scratches in its screen. Part of me really wants to get the new one, but another part of my conscience reminds me not to, as I don't need it for now. Hmm... whatever! Anyways, Valentine's is fast approaching so maybe I'll put it in my wishlist? Hah! How about for my birthday in March? Oh well...I'll see!

lazy lassy

Well, I am, when it comes to my blogging tasks. I have been so busy around here, mainly putting things up and going here at home. We've got three more huge balikbayan box packed to be shipped back home to start getting rid of the junks and some other stuff in preparation of cleaning up for the closets and for SIL's departure to Vegas. We're not yet done with it, not to mention how much time I am spending in chatting with my family in CDO and to my sisters in HK and Japan. Another Ate of mine is leaving for Hong Kong this coming Friday and I keep on talking with her with so many things of relevance.

Also, I am now starting a homeschooling routine to my toddler now. Well, I've started it a couple of weeks ago but it's not that consistent, and last Sunday, I made a point to spend at least 30 minutes one-on-one with her plainly for teaching things she needs to learn at this age. She loves reading books a lot and she can't get enough of it. There are three books right now which she seems to memorize already the dialogues and the flow of the story each time I turn the page and it's just wonderful. So yeah, I am busy and up right here. Got so much to do, and I've got even another plan or option on my blogging task, since a lot have been going on with the blogging companies I'm with it. It's Tuesday today and I just have to steal some time 'round here before my toddler gets up. Have a wonderful day everyone!
