Being Picky

Friday, March 5, 2010

I have been helping a friend of mine look at some new home for sale. In fact, she is looking at one with Dolan Designs lighting. They will be moving in order to keep her husband's job. He is not required to move, but if he don't then he will no longer have a position with this company. They are downsizing and really don't want to lose him, but in order for him to stay, then he will have to change to another location. I know she isn't thrilled about moving, but I am trying my best to make this an easy transaction for her, even though I hate to see her go. But hey, I can always visit.

Love Making Memories

Yesterday I spent the majority of the day with my camcorder in my hand. I just love my new one, it has so many new features that it is unreal. Anyway, I recorded my daughter playing the piano, and my dog doing tricks. Tomorrow I'm going to take it to my parent's house and record them. I just love making memories.

Helping Out Can Be Fun

My aunt has asked me to help out with getting her store up and running. To me, this sounds like a lot of fun. My first call to action is finding her the appropriate barcode scanner that will meet her needs. She has actually has actually gave me the go ahead to order what she needs, now my only problem is figuring out what will serve her needs for several years to come. I know this store is going to be successful, so I want to get something that can handle the customer volume she will be having.

Checking for Rates

Tuesday, March 2, 2010

I have to admit, one of my pet peeves is checking and comparing rates for anything. Today, my husband and I sat down to work on cutting some our monthly expenses and he had me checking on life insurance rates. I don't know why I couldn't be working on the budget and let him do the calling, but he didn't see it quite like I did. I'm beginning to think having a budget is not such a great idea, especially if it is causing me more work on top of the work I already have.

My Monthly Bills

Do you remember back in the day when you use to have to fill out a check for every bill and put it in an envelope, address it, stamp it, and make sure it makes it in the mail box? I hated those days. I love the fact that now I can just hop on the computer and pay my insurance online, electric and phone bill all there too. It is so much easier and less time consuming. If we could have just had this luxury about ten year ago, then I wouldn't have appreciated it so much as I do today.

Insurance Can Break You

Friday, February 19, 2010

With house insurance, car insurance, and medical insurance, it can really put a damper on your bank account. I have been trying to shop around for some of each that are more affordable, yet enough to be satisfied with. I can't imagine life without, but I can't keep paying the premiums I pay right now.Wish me luck. I know this is going to be a difficult task.

Rheumatoid

As many of you already know, I have rheumatoid arthritis. I've had it for around 20 years and although I do take rheumatoid arthritis treatments, I find myself some days of wanting to give up. I know this is not possible, because I have a family that couldn't make it without me. They are the best support anyone could ever ask for. It's amazing how much you appreciate someone when you have them to lean on.

Dieting is My Life

Thursday, February 18, 2010

I wanted to go on a diet again and when I made up my mind that was what I was going to do, I wanted the best diet pill there was on the market. I have come to the conclusion that now, since I am in my thirties, I am going to be on and off diets for the rest of my life. It is so much harder to not put on weight once you get older. I have always heard this, but until you get this age, you don't realize how true the saying really is.

Under Your Eyes

My daughter uses the best under eye cream in my opinion. It helps the wrinkles around her eyes. It is also good to keep the dark circles from being under them. When you get the puffy bags it is great for that. She likes the eye jel form because she can apply it in the fine areas around the eyes. I believe it is always best to use what works for your own eyes, but if you haven't tried anything then definitely think about it.

Diet Supplements

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

My friend and I talked about going on a diet. We read about this best diet supplement in books and newsletters from a clinic that put it out. We don’t want to take just any pills because we have heard they didn’t help and were dangerous. We want to check out the best sellers and special offers. We also want to know if you can lose weight fast. There are so many things to consider when taking diet supplements. I know we might be acting a little silly, but it is important when you know what you are putting in your body.

Things Don't Happen Quick Enough

Myself and most other people like to have a quick weight loss result when they go on a diet. It makes you feel better that you can drop a lot of weight and know your diet is paying off. My daughter can do a quick weight drop by choosing the right kind of food, but for me it is a little harder than that. I try to exercise alot and drink plenty of water, and I don’t eat between meals, but for some reason it just don't drop off quick enough. That is what disappoints me the most about trying to loose weight.

Jobs are Hard to Come By

Monday, February 15, 2010

Some jobs out there are hard to come and every family needs one because they have children to feed and cloth, as well as send to school and get their children through some college classes. Its takes a lot of money to send a child to school nowdays. They have to get clothes to wear, buy extra books to learn, and lunches to eat. That doesn't even begin what they need for college.

Thankful for Computers

Wednesday, February 3, 2010

They are more children and young adults who have laptop computers these days. It is easier for them to take whereever they go. They are more sold around Christmas for the children than almost any other item.  In fact, if you can watch the sales in papers, and on TV, up can find them for a reasonable price. All children like to have one of their own, and I think it is good because they can learn so much by using the computer.

Decisions are Hard to Make

Monday, February 1, 2010

We have been checking around for insurance and found this company that had a good deal on term life insurance. After we left the company in a few days they sent an agent to our house to explain all the options about it. We agree that would be our best way to go. So we decided to go ahead and get that kind of policy, and have been satisfied with our decision thus far.

House Insurance

Friday, January 29, 2010

Over the past couple of years, our home insurance has gradually increased. I am thinking we can find a better insurance company that can offer us a better policy. It doesn't seem fair that each year they increase our insurance. The house we live in is in extremely good shape and there is no logical explanation for this. It is time to investigate!

Jersey Bound

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

I would love to talk to others who have searched for jobs in Jersey. I have a friend who lives in this part of the world and she has been looking for a job for quite sometime now. I've tried to tell her jobs in south jersey is not that easy to come by and she can't give up on hope. I know it is very depressing, but I also know it is a matter of needing the money to be able to survive. I am just wishing her the best of luck and keeping the faith that she will find something soon.

Men and Their Issues

I was thinking the other day about how women have tons of issues and men say they have just as many. I know they probably do and we just tease them saying they don't. For example, men are always looking into a testosterone booster. Now most women don't read about this like men do. I found it very interesting to find out men have some really tough issues.
