Meet The Parents

We just got home from dinner. Today is the step daughter’s birthday so we treated her to dinner. The whole family was there and the celebrant’s special visitor who is the boyfriend. Step daughter asked her father’s permission first if she could invite him to join her birthday dinner. I already saw him before but he looked so different in his MONIKER shirt. The birthday girl was a bit nervous of the first meeting between her dad and the boyfriend but everything went well. She had a good time and probably an unforgettable birthday.

Pneumatic Tools From Stanley Bostitch

One guy who got laid off from my job suddenly came for a visit today. After two months of job hunting, he finally got a job in a construction company. I think he is better off now than his previous work because he has a lot of projects in line for this year. He showed us his truck which is full of pneumatic tools from Stanley Bostitch. He said these tools, like the flooring Staplers are his investments on his new career change. Although the company provides him tools but he wants to have his own so that he can do some repair jobs during his free time.

My New Lunch Tote

This came today. It’s my new insulated tote/lunch bag. I ordered it from ebags.com. It could fit around 4 sodas or juices or water plus some sandwiches or fruits. It is made by Mario Batali, a chef that owns several restaurants in NYC, Las Vegas and if you are familiar with the name, he is on Iron Chef America. No reason why I chose him but I found the bag cute with a reasonable price. This would be perfect for a day trip this summer. We have a big cooler for the truck but not for just an everyday thing. You know how it gets so hot during summertime so it is advisable to have one like this especially if you have a toddler who always say “I’m thirsty, mommy.”

Instructional Massage DVD's

Deep Tissue Massage

Massage Techniques Massage Supplies
When I went to my doctor for my annual exam, I was talking to several women at the waiting area. We were discussing messages as we watch the chair massage DVD being showed on the monitor. One was saying that to get cheap chair massages, all you have to do is go to the mall and you can have a 15 minute massage for 15 bucks. Another lady said about the importance of being able to learn breast massage as women should understand more about their body. I have not experienced having a breast massage; just the breast exam and mammogram once a year. Because the wait was too long at the doctor’s office, I was still able to watch part of the full body massage videos that made like going to the spa after my visit. I got curious too about these instructional videos so I asked the receptionist if where I can buy them She said that the office bought them from Aesthetic VideoSource (videoshelf.com), an online store of high quality dvd’s about beauty and spa industry.

St. Patrick's Day Treats

My co-worker's wife brought these cookies and key lime cake to work as her treat to us because it's St. Patrick's day. She always do these cookies for every occasion but the cake she said is from pepperridge farm. She also had brought some corned beef, cabbage, potatoes and carrots but it was gone before i got the chance to take a photo. It was delicious. Thanks.

Friday the 13th

Yes, today is Friday the 13th. Feeling unlucky today? Remember we got three this 2009. One was last month, then today and the third one is on November 13. I do not believe in superstitions that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day. One person is celebrating his birthday at the office right now. What is actually nice about Friday the 13th is that it always precedes a weekend.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Get Out of Debt Fast

These days of hard times and job layoffs, being with a certain company for a long time is still not a guarantee that you will not lose your job. I have heard stories of people with 20 years of service being laid off from their jobs. Once you are in this situation, it brings a domino effect to your finances. Starting with making more debts to cover expenses, savings being used up; credit cards are maxed, late or missed payments or sometimes losing your home. Do not wait for the situation to worsen before you ask for financial help or assistance.

There are great programs being offered by debtconsolidation.com. to help people with financial problems. One of the program is Free Debt Consolidation. If you own several credit cards with large balances and high interest, it would be best to pay just one single bill every month with the chance of getting lower interest rates. One credit is easier to deal with than having several of them. Have time to visit debtconsolidation.com, fill out the form and get a free confidential debt analysis to better understand your financial situation. You will not get the right solution if you do not know exactly where you need help and the options available. You can get in touch with them any time at 1800-288-2455 for free consultation.

A Big Snow Is On Its Way

Maybe this will be the last snow strom of the season. As per the forecasts, we will be expecting a foot of snow starting tonight until tomorrow. The school already called cancelling all classes for Monday. I doubt if we have work too. Even if my job opens, I will not force myself to drive if I know it would be safer to stay home. Let's see what happens. Sometimes the forecast misses.
