on Twilight Saga

Yay, I am finally done with all my great reads! Hubby gifted me all four books of the Twilight Saga last Christmas. My oh my, I was really entertained and so engrossed that I can hardly put them; and I didn't stop until I read all four of them. Now I can move on with my everyday life without thinking what happened to this vampire and werewolf. Woohoo! Imagine, I read all of them in just merely 5 days. I am really lovin' them! I am also happy that hubby got them in hard cover which means that they will be part of my collection. So, what's next? Hmmm, I am thinking of going to and be amazed with the world of the wizards. What do you think, guys?

Christmas morning

Merry Christmas, guys! How is your Christmas so far? Has Santa been good to you? For us here, it has been soooo good. My Katiebug made out a bandit out of Christmas as usual. She just can't contain her happiness and excitement with all the gifts she got this morning. She was all: "Oh my!" "I really, really like it, Dad!" and "Thank you, Santa!" She is funny and cute, I should say.

I still have to make noodles to bring for Christmas lunch at my sister-in-law's house. Yes, we are invited there today and I am really looking forward to see them and celebrate Christmas with them. I truly hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas. Blog with you, later...

a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner

Looking at the pictures, you can say that we really had fun. I am so glad that Arlyn with her husband, Jeremy and her little boy, LJ were able to have dinner with us last December 24. Hmmm, I don't know why we missed to take pictures of our husbands, LOL! We were just so excited to eat and to chitchat. Actually, we really didn't prepare lots of food but I can say that the dinner was a success! Hubby grilled some steaks and made his specialty Stuffed Manicotti; and I made my Macaroni Salad and Pork Caldereta aside from the other side dishes. Hubby and I were so glad that everything turned out great. Thanks, Arlyn and family for gracing our house with your presence. Love you, guys!

wishing for a jacuzzi tub

We are renting a home right now which really has what you would call an ordinary basic bathroom. We are hoping that someday the people who own this home we rent might consider selling the home we are in so we might have the opportunity to buy it. It is in a great neighborhood with a big yard and it would give us a great opportunity to remodel the home starting with the bathroom. The first thing I would start with is requesting hubby to install a jacuzzi tub. Jacuzzi tubs are the best thing since apple pie if you ask me. The bathroom is one of those rooms you spend a great deal of time in and why not make it totally enjoyable.

We would knock down some walls, build on to the master bed room and make ourselves to a bathroom we have always dreamed of. With jacuzzi prices becoming more affordable more now than ever, we might be able to really find ourselves the one we have always dreamed of. For example, jacuzzi bathrooms uk has some units that really fits our needs. I’m really getting excited to soon own a Jacuzzi tub because I know hubby will find a way to make it happen. It might not be in this home but I can guarantee in the future it will be in a home we will own.

hard-working hubby

Hubby has to work this morning. He said he just want to finish a job so he can log in 84 hours for this week. Can you believe that? He had really worked so hard the past few weeks. He said he had to since next week is a two day off for him. Remember that he is in an automotive industry and auto techs are paid by commission. That stinks, right? You should know how bad the health insurance in the said industry, too. You wouldn't dig it! But hubby said that he just have to do what is needed to be done; and hope for the best! And it surely will, by God's grace!

to advertise your business

We have a friend of ours who is starting up a new business venture. Along with all the cost of opening a new business, there is the cost of advertising that if not done correctly, can make or break you. When money is short and times are hard, you must use every penny wisely. We were looking for a way to help him with his advertising and came up with a really good idea.

He had stated that there are a lot of times that he will run specials but it’s too expensive to change advertising and get it out in short notice. We thought that as he builds a client base with emails and phone numbers, there is an sms service that he could use to get the sales and product information to his customers quickly. A company called Text Magic offers a text service that will work from an email account or phone account that you can do bulk sms.

With this serviced priced very inexpensively, he can reach his customers directly without relying on them hearing or seeing an ad on the radio or TV. Without a doubt, there is a time to use major advertising on TV or radio, but when you want your very best customers to see the deals you are offering first, Text Magic is the way to go.

what a double celebration!

Happy Birthday, Arlyn! We just come from a girlfriend's birthday dinner. I was so happy to see her and her boy again; and it was nice to finally meet her husband. It was quite intimate since there were only two families being invited but we had fun. The guys were watching the movie, Terminator 2; Arlyn and I blabbing while half-watching said movie; and the kids had a blast playing. Her husband prepared a lot of food (American) and they were all yummy-o. Thanks, guys for inviting us over. Again, Happy Birthday, Arlyn! Would you believe that it was also their 7th wedding anniversary? Congratulations, guys! Best wishes and many happy returns! A double celebration indeed, right?

it's the most wonderful time of the year...

"It's the most wonderful time of the year," that's me singing. December is here, YAY! It's my favorite time of all. Our Christmas for this year is special since this is the first time we celebrate it here in San Antonio. I am really wanting to have gold motif for all my Christmas decorations but it's just so unreasonable especially in this hard economy. So, hubby and I (like last year) have decided to use what Christmas decors we already have. It's going to be great; and I hope all of us will have great Holiday Season.
