She's On A Diet

I have a niece, she is 24 years old. She was here visiting and she just left for Philippines last Sunday. She thinks she is heavy so her motto during her whole stay with us is to slim down. I remember when she just arrived from Philippines, she was browsing the net for some diet pills then she found one that says best diet pills that are available for free if you order within two days. All you have to do is pay for the shipping. She wanted me to order it for her but it requires

a credit card. I told her I am not going to put my credit card number because these weight loss diet pills promo are sneaky. It is free for a certain period but if you forget to call them, they will automatically charge your credit. So what she did was she went to buy a prepaid credit card and we used that card to order the diet pills. She was taking them religiously then she goes to the track and run every day. She was determined to loose weight and it worked for her.

Now she is back in the Philippines. She always sends me text messages about the compliments she gets from her friends. I told her to keep up with her regimen and have a lot of self discipline with regards to food. You think you can resist not eating this holiday season? I cannot.

My Plants

The weather is getting colder every day. The wind chill is 10 degrees below temperature. Gone are the days of 50’s and 60’s with some sun. I looked at my plants from my window and all the leaves are gone. I just removed the flower boxes hanging on our porch to protect them from the freezing morning. The plants by our big window will suffer from this weather because the window boxes for plants are installed permanently to protect them from accidentally falling on the road. I cannot take them inside the house. These plants just have to be totally replaced come spring time.

Maybe this coming spring, I can ask hubby to make more window boxes for flowers. I want them installed by the living room and kitchen windows but not those permanently attached so that I can take them inside the garage when it gets cold. Although it would still be a little bit cold inside the garage but at least they are not directly exposed to the snow. I love flowers. I wish I can

have a green house outside with controlled temperature to save my plants during winter time.

On The Run

While having our car filled up last sunday, i took a picture of "on the run" the convenience store at exxon gas. i go to on the run for their crispy creme, buy sunday paper, gum, scratch off and lotto tickets. I haven't tried their bengal trader coffee. A lot says it's good. Maybe i'll get a cup next stop.

PTA Night

I went to my daughter’s school last for PTA night. It is a one on one dialogue between the teacher and parents regarding your child progress for the first grading period. My schedule time was between 7:15 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. but I arrived at the school early hoping that we can start right away. I guess the parent ahead of me was late so I got the chance to read the school bulletin boards while waiting for my turn. Each grade has their own bulletin board, displaying all their activities, pictures and who the student of the month is. So my daughter’s face was on one of these bulletin boards last year.

So far my daughter is doing great in school with only one comment on her report card – being talkative at times. Somewhat I already expected this because she also tells me that she is chatty in school. I always remind her that there is time for chatting but if the teacher says that you have to pay attention you have to stop talking, I know this is hard for some kids but they will learn.

My next PTA meeting is next month. I will see how make with her science and social studies. They only started with these two subjects this second marking period.

McDonalds Big Breakfast

So this is what me and my daughter shared when we went to McDonalds for breakfast. Hubby got one for himself too. I ate the pancakes and sausage while my daughter likes the eggs and hashbrown. Nobody eats the biscuit.

Price: $5.

For School

I am going through my daughter’s tests and exercises from her English, Science and Social Studies. She normally leaves them inside her locker at school but I requested that she brings them home for the weekend. The school lockers are safe for her books and school supplies to keep but during Fridays I want her to take them home for study. At least now, she has mastered how to do the combination locks for both her school and gym lockers. We made the same code for both that is easy for her to remember.

What I do with all her school tests and exercises is make copies then I use them as her reviewer for her exams. I made a folder for every grading period and file her papers according to dates. I have to be organized and be on top of everything. It makes my life easier when she needs to study a particular subject or chapter.

I have been showing to my daughter how to be organized with her things. I am happy that when there was an open house in school, I got to see her desk and it was neat and clean. I told myself, that is a good sign.
