you are special...

I remember that as I was growing up, our family was into Seiko watches. If you have one that means you are so special. I remember that when I graduated my elementary, my parents gave me a Seiko watch as a graduation gift. It looked like the picture above. I was so happy about it and felt that I was truly special. I had worn that special gift for how many years. I know for a fact that Seiko watches are really tough and will last a long, long time.

I have been thinking that when my little girl knows how to read clocks, I will get a Seiko watch for her. I know that it won’t be long and she will be able to tell the correct time. I am pretty sure that I can find a cute but sturdy one which will be perfect for her dainty wrist. I really can’t wait for that exquisite moment. I wish I could get a watch right now for her 4th birthday which will be in three weeks but she is still too little to handle such an exquisite thing.

Well, how about getting one for myself? Hmmm, let me tell hubby about it. Maybe he can get me one as an advance Christmas present? What do you think, guys?

the color purple friend

This post is for a friend who loves violets and purples. You know who you are! From clutches to purses to shoes to clothes to all your amethyst jewelries, who wouldn’t think that you simply adore PURPLE? This girl is I don’t know if she can live without purple. She might wear or use other colors but you could always see one thing in her which is purple, of course. Oh girl, I miss you and our time together. Hopefully, we can spend time together pretty soon so I can have glimpses of your purple things again!

Here's to you...

Violet hues suggest something unusual and superior. Associated with high spirituality, violet can also convey somberness or solemnity, and may be interpreted as either uplifting or depressing. Good for prayer and meditation, the color has an otherworldly character. It's not generally a good color choice for walls, since large expanses disturb the eyes' ability to focus. Wear violet and you'll project unconventionality, nonconformity, and creativity. The color stands out in a crowd and may be associated with acute perception and deep insight.

chic maternity clothes

I have a beautiful pregnant friend who is due either the last week of this month or the first week of August. We just can’t help but get excited for her since this is her first baby and I know that she and her husband have been praying for this baby. She might be pregnant but I tell you, that didn’t stop her from being so fashionable. I bet she got all her maternity clothes from Kiki’s Fashions Maternity since they really look so good on her. Her maternity clothes are just so adorable just like the picture above and she looks good in them.

Looking at her sometimes in her trendy and chic maternity clothes, makes me wish to become pregnant again. But NO, no more pregnancy for me and hubby due to health reasons! Well to you my dear friend, I wish you all the best especially during the delivery of your baby boy in this world. I am sure he is one lucky guy to have you as his Mommy.

busy day for us...

We just got back here in our house in Kremmling from the dumpsite. Gee, it was smelly up there, ewww! We dumped our old grill, some old tires and icky trash. Hubby was able to renew the plates of our trailer while we were there, too. My parents-in-law are here with us now for hubby has to give away some stuff especially tools to Dad.

My little girl is down for her nap right now. It’s so funny because I just lay down her blanket on the floor for her bed and she seems to be liking it since she is now sleeping good. I really hope she will nap longer since she was up so early today. Wow, it’s pouring hard here with all the lightning and thunder. Hubby and Dad are still out clearing the garage. Hopefully, they will get done soon so we can be on our way to Denver pretty soon.

let's go swimming!

We all like to swim and our daughter is always asking to go to the pool every night. Even when she is only 3 years old and doesn’t really know how to swim, she always is the first one to the door with her swim suit on. We always thought how cool it would be when we have a home to have a swimming pool. What would even be better is if we had a swim spa. They are making these pools these days that are a lot smaller but they have jets in them for aquatic therapy. You can swim in one place and get the full benefits of a larger pool.

There are many benefits, we discovered, to having a rehab pool. My hubby has always said that he has back and shoulder pain from his work. Swimming is a great exercise and good therapy and these pools are especially made for helping with healing and exercise. There are many older people who are now discovering that with aquatic therapy, their healing time is much quicker; and when they have one of these pools in their home, the exercise is one of the things that can help keep them fit.

What a great idea to have a pool that can fit in part of your home such as a recreation room. I hope that we will have one in the future as an opportunity to get better exercise for both me and my hubby. We know our daughter would love one too. Who knows, she might discover that she wants to really be a swimmer and she would have the opportunity to practice right at home. It might be a dream for us right now but I can really see us owning one in the future.

green it is!

Aside from the color red, I love green, too. I can always associate green with plants and LIFE. That is why I prefer real plants rather than fake ones for accents inside the house even if they are hard to take care of them especially here in Colorado. But I am really doing my very best to have at least one real plant inside the house. That is why I am so thankful for our snake plant that hubby’s friend gave to us because even if sometimes we forgot to water it, it is still thriving well.

Anyway, here’s how the GREEN color affects our life. Read on…

The color of money, but also balance, harmony, and control, green exudes prosperity and well-being. It increases the ability to concentrate, while reducing muscular tension and stress. Refreshing and restorative, green is an ideal room color for sedentary or monotonous tasks—a good color for learning and doing. Rooms feel cooler and fresher. Turquoise and light green are good choices for kitchens, since they make room temperatures feel cooler and time and tasks seem to pass more quickly. Wear green to give the impression that you feel in control. It's a good color to wear if you're trying to keep the peace, mediate, or generate team spirit.

for all horse lovers out there!

Hubby and I met at an online singles website. There are so many singles websites out there now that it is really hard to figure out what the good ones are. When we used singles websites, we stuck with some of the more popular ones and as you could say, we got lucky to find each other. I was noticing online recently that there has been some unique advertising for some specialized online singles websites.

We have been seeing a lot of ads for FREE sign up for these sites and one that really caught our eye was a site geared toward horse lovers. What a good idea because there should some basic things in common to start off with. With horse lovers, there is a basic lifestyle chosen and it’s really hard to get a relationship going with someone who has never lived the life of ranching and horse riding. At equestrian cupid, we think it is a really good idea from we seen and I’m thinking you’ll start seeing more and more websites like it popping up.

Online dating can be difficult at times and it is good to see some websites taking responsibility to become more successful by specializing in certain likes that people share. Instead of putting everyone in one place, they can make the pool of people more manageable. Thus, creating success for people dating trying to find the right person for them.

how did our dental appointment go?

We just got back from our dentist appointment for some deep cleaning. Gee, my left face is still numb from that awful medicine they gave. Just awful that I almost puked there, ewww! I can’t help but shed a tear when the dentist injected a medicine on my left inside mouth. I am such a cry baby, I know! The little pinches really hurt but hubby’s wallet was even more hurt because our dental insurance only covers 50% of the whole thing.

We are set to go back there next week for the right side of our teeth. I am really having second thoughts to go back there because it was so uncomfortable and it hurts until now. My legs were really trembling during the whole thing. I don’t like the taste and the effect of the medicine. Hubby said that we really had to go back next week. If only the people there are gentle. Well, I am glad that that part is all over now. I can only hope that next week won’t be too bad and will be better. I hope so…

to secure our future

My hubby has invested in the stock market and lost a lot like everyone else. We are now thinking about trying a safer option for our moneys investment. We started to look into bank CDs as our next investment. The CD rates are a little low right now but it is a government bank guaranteed investment. We will have to look for the best CD rates before we can take out our money away for the required period of time.

With this new investment and over a period of time, we can start earning a little money for our retirement and our daughter’s college future. We found a great web site to help us do this. At selectcdrates.com, they compare CD rates all in one place. They even compare CD rates from other states. With this source of information, we can count on getting the very best rates possible when it comes to our investments. We can look forward to security in our future and a future for our daughter.

lemon for anxiety

Are you feeling anxious about everything? No worries! According to the article I read in the net that you can abandon your anxieties with the help of LEMON. Yes, you heard/read it right! Research has shown that lemon balm has a calming effect and therefore may be able to help remove fatigue, exhaustion, dizziness, anxiety, nervousness, and tension. It is also believed that inhaling lemon oil helps in increasing concentration and alertness. It can therefore be used as a room freshener in offices to increase the efficiency of the employees. So, if you are feeling tense, sprinkle a few drops of lemon balm essential oil on a handkerchief to inhale.
