I really need to get back to my diet routine and get back to controlled portion. Tomorrow I shall start walking again and I have to take advantage of this wonderful weather, the temp has been unheard of for winter and I have been lazy and missing this opportunity.Speaking of walking, I need to charge my ipod to ensure nonstop battery action. I do need to put in new music in my ipod though. I have some CD’s in the basement and some of them were damaged by water, I should have done the cd duplication before it was too late. My Nirvana CD was damaged too and I have been kicking myself for being so reckless. I salvaged some of the grunge CD I have but the good ones.. well at least what I liked the most were destroyed and unsalvageable.Lesson learned I guess. Anyway, I will start walking again tomorrow and gotta get back to my controlled portion, it’s the start of the year and I gotta start right.. right?

I thought I was imagining when I saw some snowflakes but I wasn’t! There really were flurries but I am glad that it’s not snowing yet! They said that it will definitely snow on Saturday and I am not really looking forward to that! I wish it’s Summer and I can think about warm weather, splashing on the pool and hanging out talking with friends by the pool fences oh how nice would it be but it’s Winter and I have to embrace it because it’s almost Christmas and what’s better is that 2011 is almost over! Can you believe it? Time is just zooming and I can’t wait for New Year! It is only my favorite holiday of them all! I just hope that it won’t snow later tonight and hopefully there’s no snow surprise tomorrow!

Tomorrow is going to be December and Christmas is on our way. Time fly so fast and her we are, we just finished Thanksgiving and now we are looking forward to spend Christmas with our family. I still haven’t take my Christmas tree out and Christmas decorations yet but soon after thorough cleaning, I will. So what do I wish materially? Well, I have been very envious with those cool tablets that’s on the rave right now. I love gadgets but I gotta watch how much to spend so it will be nice if Santa will be extra nice to me this year!

I like shopping online but I hate surfing every site looking for the same product. Granted it is easier than driving all over the place but I like to go to one site and type in what I want and all the prices from different retailers that will be available for me to see in one spot! The convenience is one thing that consumers like. WE like to shop in one place that has everything and delivers everything, from mail deliveries to online shopping and not to mention, serving consumers and helping people with jobs. Now that is what I call complete service!

I am so glad that we have done it so I don’t have to worry about it. I bought some ingredients for pumpkin pie and just to be sure we’ll have some dessert on Thanksgiving dinner, I bought a ready to eat pecan pie just in case if I do a bad job baking because I haven’t bake any pumpkin pie so this will be my first time. First time in doing something sometimes make you nervous just like when I first attend a Halloween costume and me and my 3 other friends had our playboy bunny costumes on. It was a little weird but we were young and skinny and we actually looked great but we were nervous wearing it.
Anyway, here’s my entry for Queens Meme for today..
1. How many people will you be cooking for this Thanksgiving?
* I think it will only be for the 5 of us.

2. What is your specialty dish?
* The main dish…my gourmet turkey ^-^, that’s for my ego boost but I actually make a delicious turkey, moist and tender Yummy ^-^

3. Can you give me a quick mini course in basting a turkey?
*I usually put sliced& spiced butter under the turkey’s skin and I just add a little bit of olive oil with the rub and just rubbed it all over the turkey.. 2 hours later I just get some juice from the turkey and inject it back in!

4. What is your favorite part of Thanksgiving?
*uh eating time of course, when everybody is wide awake, ready to eat and have a wonderful meal together.

5. Which one of the real turkeys in your life do you think deserves a pardon?
*Are you from the south since it sounds like you are referring to a person.. My mother in law calls someone turkey. But anyway, if someone did something to me, I usually forgive them but forgiveness is useless to me because I will never forget what they have done.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and enjoy your company..

It’s about that time of the year already and I have been seeing a lot of sales advertised for the upcoming Black Friday. There are a lot of retailers that are competing the consumers attention that some are advertising to open as early as 10 pm on Thanksgiving day! There will be chaos and I have to admit that I will be in line in one particular store just to get my children their electronic fix! Sad I know.. the Holidays are becoming too costly to enjoy!
There are ways to get what you want by looking at advance sales or even using simple coupons for discounts. If home improvement stuff is what you need there are plenty of lowe’s coupons that you can easily get access to, you can also try clipping newspapers coupons that are very useful like Younkers coupons.. which by the way helped me a lot when I go and purchase something that I really want and some of them you can use double which make it even cheaper.Coupons are really handy, if you think it’s tiring to do it just cut those little helpers when you are bored and trust me the outcome of saving is priceless! Chaotic or not Black Friday will still be a huge hit like every year in the United States so get full and get your buns ready!

I get as much as I can as long as it’s FREE! right?When I took my children to the Boo@da Zoo ( Because I am paranoid to bring them trick & tricking around the neighborhood), and they got free meal coupons from couple of food places like Arby’s, Mc. Donald’s, Applebees & Amigos. We already used couple of the free tickets already but they are saving the Applebees coucher until we go one of these days. I also got couple of free music downlaods from itunes and I love the songs especially the Blues. I also got a free custom pins from work. the principal handed all the staff these cute pins and it’s hanging on my badge.Last Friday, we had free donuts & bagels at work too, I’m telling you, I can so get use to this. ^-^

We got the pumpkin for a while now but we were just too lazy to carve it I guess. I bought enough chocolates for tomorrow.. I don’t know if we will get any trick or treaters that is why I bought chocolates that we all love like, snickers, milky way, Kitkat, crunch, M&M’s, Rolos & Twix! My kids will be delighted tomorrow…. Also we will be watching a scary movie and we are going to play Monopoly like every Halloween! It’s becoming a tradition lol. I really do hope that there will be kids knocking because I don’t want all those candies around here too long.

My only regret about tomorrow is that it’s on a Monday! That guy who petition to move Halloween on the last Saturday of October really has a point! Halloween on a Sunday and on Weekdays really do suck because the kids can’t stay up longer and they have to go to school on the following morning. The fun is limited and it really is a bummer! So hopefully they will change it ..I guess..

Yes I will be busy but that’s a normal thing in life and I rather be somewhat busy than bored any day! I still don’t have any idea what to prepare for tonight’s dinner though but I need to figure it out before picking up my children from school.
My mother in law called last night because she wanted to keep us updated with our great-great- grandmother’s condition. She also asked to let the kids ( and us) send her a list of what we want for Christmas! I want her to go online to buy ipad cases at the source.. I know my kids would want some video game and one of them wants his own laptop! My daughter? I think she wants some girly stuff. My husband wants a new TV or a new grill! I do need to save some money and definitely tell my children to jot down whatever they wish to receive this Christmas from Grandma and from Santa ^-^. It’s not too early for Christmas List!
By the way, I found this new meme online and here’s my entry for 3x Thursday’s Kids ^-^
1. Do you have kids? If so, do you like having a family? If you don’t have kids, do you want them? Why/why not?
*Yes I have 3 children. Yes I love having my own family.It’s a wonderful thing.
2. If you’re a parent, what kinds of challenges do you have because you have kids? If you’re not a parent, you must have friends that have kids…. What difficulties do you see that they deal with?
* Well, mostly it’s all about financial Challenges. I have 3 kids with extra curricular activities and money really is an issue.
3. What about other people’s kids? Weather you have them or not, do you like being around kids?
* I do especially if they listen. However, there are some that a little bit challenging but you just have to try because there’s a hundred reason why they are the way they. are.

Enjoy the rest of your week ^-^
