McDonald Extreme Makeover

We know that our local mcdonald's is under construction. They stopped serving dine-in to customers for weeks and we could see from the road that they removed the play areas for kids (as my daughter say, What!!!!). Yesterday was our first time to visit the restaurant and we saw a different store - a total revamped!!! No more noisy metal chairs that people just drag, play area is gone and more updated. The furnishings and light fixtures are all changed. It is open, more space. Nice ambiance! I took some pictures to share.

The last photo is the area where you can hook up your computers for internet. The chairs are more comfortable and electric outlets are provided. I would like to be here when it snows, doing my blogging while having my breakfast and watching the snow.

My Christmas Treat

Author: Elias Massey

Every year I look forward to the holidays come I know its time for egg-nog. Egg-nog is my all time favorite treat during the holidays. I was watching satellite tv and a I saw an advertisement for egg-nog, this advertisement put the biggest smile on my face. You wouldn't thing that something so simple could make somebody so happy. For me egg-nog just sets the tone for the holiday season.

Egg-nog also brings back several wonderful memories from my childhood. I remember sipping on egg-nog while helping my Grandma decorate Christmas cookies. My Grandma would also add a little nutmeg to my egg-nog and I thought that was the best thing ever. I am now passing on the tradition of drinking egg-nog and decorating Christmas cookies with my children.

Egg-nog is a great treat during the holidays for children and adults. You can add cinnamon or nutmeg to egg-nog and you can even drink it in coffee. Egg-nog also goes well with warm pumpkin bread. No-matter which way you choose to have your egg-nog make sure to enjoy this holiday drink while watching tv from DirectStarTV.com.

Internet Shopping And A Virus

Our IT person was in our office today to fix two computers that got infected by viruses. She could not get rid of the virus remotely so she has to be physically in the office to do it. We all got scared because she might take our internet access totally. Almost every week we get hit by a virus from websites that we visited and being a company computer we are not actually allowed to do our shopping online. Tell me, who does not do their online shopping at work? Thank God, our IT person was not in a bad mood today so we did not get punished. She is also woman, I bet she does what we do at work too.

The person next to me is the no. 1 guilty of online shopping and social networking. She loves shopping for shoes. Her favorites are sneakers and boots. Just like today, ups delivered the Burberry leather twisted band sandal she bought from zappos. I know she wants to wear it to the party she is going Friday night. I wish I have all the extra money to shop for these shoes like hers. They are not cheap even though with all the discounts and coupons. Hope Santa will be

nice to me this Christmas.

Papa John's Double Bacon Six Cheese

Friday night is my day off in the kitchen. My husband does not like to eat heavy dinner because it is his tennis night with his group. We normally just buy food to go. I'm in the mood to eat pizza so maybe by tomorrow we can try this new double bacon six cheese from papa john's. I like papa john's pizza and $11 is already a good price. We always order the barbecue chicken but we will try something new tomorrow.

My House Project

Our niece that used to occupy one bedroom in our house left for Philippines the day after thanksgiving. My daughter is a bit sad because it’s back to only the three of us in the house again. I don’t know how you call it but every time somebody leaves (I have done this when the two step daughters moved out – one to college and the other one got married), I want a revamp of the room where they used to occupy. This time, I want my daughter to use the bigger room, the room the niece used to occupy so that I can make her old bedroom an office or computer room. I know it is a lot of work but I am so determined to do it. First, I have to get rid of all those vhs videos stored under her bed. I need a video converter for this. It has to be a video converter for Mac. I haven’t seen any at the local electronics store but probably I can but it online or on eBay. If there is an iPad Video Converter available, I‘ll buy it too and maybe I can get free shipping for both. I don’t want to toss any of these videos because they have so much of our yesteryears, those days when my daughter was still a baby. Those are beautiful memories that you just want to keep.

Hope I would be able to finish my project before her birthday on the 18th. Once I have converted all the videos, we can watch them during her party. Let us see how my daughter reacts seeing herself as a baby on video.

I Want Some Hot Soup

It has been raining all day with bad windy conditions making the temperature fall to like freezing. I know its not officially winter yet but it is getting so cold already. I am just thankful that there is no forecast of any snow yet. During this cold weather, there is no other thing that I always crave but this hot seafood noodlle from our favorite vietnamese restaurant.
