For My Hubby, the Grill’s the Deal

It’s still the middle of winter, but everybody’s already looking forward to and can’t wait for spring. We’re all tired of this chilly weather. I am not that tired really, but of course, I do look forward to spring too. What I like most about it is we get to spend time outside grilling and having our meals out on the deck.

And speaking of that, we do need a new grill because the one that the husband has finally died on him last year. He was thinking of fixing it, but it will cost him more than buying a new one. That grill from GrillsDirect.com is a good contender. I saw it earlier and I will show it to the husband later. I’ll bet he will agree with me.

Father and Daughter: Quite a Musical Duo

My husband loves playing the guitar. He actually played the song “Moon River” using his guitar then recorded it and sent it to me, as well as an original instrumental he wrote just for me, accompanied by his daughter on the flute. That was when we were still boyfriend/girlfriend and I was still back in my home country. That was definitely one of the sweetest things that he has done for me.

And now that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I am thinking and hoping to give him what I consider a special and perhaps the bestest gift that I could give him – a fender eric johnson electric guitar. I have no doubt he will be jumping for joy.

So, I better start working and save for that awesome piece.

A Tornado Hit His Room!

I was supposed to do the laundry today, but after seeing my son’s room, I decided to delay it until tomorrow and clean up his room first; it was just so messy. Well, with an 8-year-old boy living in there, I guess that’s a given, huh?

He does have boxes for his toys, but they were just scattered everywhere. Lego pieces here and there, a topsy-turvy bed, books scattered on his desk and dollar coins on the floor. I do have an idea though why he didn’t bother to put the coins in his piggy bank or clean up his mess: he was so engrossed with his new play station video games. Oh well, boys will be boys.

All Work and No Play…

…makes Jack a dull boy.

There goes that famous proverb and I do believe in it. That is why while doing my online tasks, I am also playing my favorite app on Facebook which is “Cityville”. That is what you call multitasking. LOL.

Too much thinking about what to write is exhausting thus, I take breaks by checking on my city and see how my people are doing. Heehee. Nah, I have goals there that I need to finish so I check what else do I need to complete those goals. I’ve already sent my neighbors help requests so the next thing to do is to wait for those requests to be accepted.

I’ve been playing “Cityville” for more than a year now and so far, I haven’t got tired of it yet. I consider it the most realistic among all apps, although how I wish the money that I have there is for real. (“,)

The Place Sure Needed a Woman’s Touch

When it comes to decorating our humble abode, I definitely have plans. My husband stayed here alone for many years so just imagine what the house looked like when I arrived – a typical bachelor’s pad. It certainly needed a woman’s touch and though I’ve done some few decorating here, there is still a lot that I want to do.

Changing some of the old furniture; yeah, that is a definite to do. I had been looking and there are just so many choices that I like, including hickory furniture. But I have a budget so I just can’t grab it at the moment. I’ve been thinking of having a built-in cabinet too for the TV and his enormous collection of books. I still have to ask his carpenter stepson about that so I will have an idea how much will it cost. I do hope it won’t cost us an arm and a leg.

Love is in the Air

It’s the time of the year once again when it’s red everywhere you go and that is because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.

I was out with my good friend yesterday and there were already a lot of valentines day gifts displayed in all the stores that we went to. I’ve already gotten my husband a gift, but after seeing what I saw yesterday, it made me think that maybe adding another gift or two would be great. He would be delighted no doubt and I really can’t wait to see his face light up again after seeing what I got for him.

One Fine Day

Our good friend, Carol called me on Monday asking me if I wanted to go along with her. She has some errands and shopping to do, and she was thinking that maybe I want to go since it’s been a while since the last time we went out. I never had second thoughts of saying yes because I do love going out with her because she is such a happy person. Besides, it is my time to look for things to buy for the husband too for the upcoming special occasions in February.

She picked me up at around 10:30 in the morning yesterday, and off we went. We dropped by at her daughter’s office first because she had something to give to her. Then shopping came next. I didn’t buy anything though because I was still contemplating. And there were simply a lot of good things that I saw which I think were perfect for the husband.

She brought me home at around 2 o’clock in the afternoon because I had to pick my son up at the bus stop by 2:30. What a nice day that was. I had fun not to mention, a good walking exercise. (“,)

He’s Gonna Be a Lucky Man!

With February coming so close, I am really into thinking of what gifts to give the husband. Gifts in the sense that we will be celebrating three special occasions in that month. First, our 1st wedding anniversary, then Valentine’s Day and lastly, his birthday.

He loves reading so getting him an eBook reader is one thing that I am contemplating about. I’ve been reading reviews like kobo versus kindle so I would know which one to consider because with the many different brands of eBook readers, choosing one is really difficult.

Okay, an eBook reader is one, and what else? Well, he loves his sports like baseball and basketball so maybe getting him those balls would be great too, huh? Teehee.

Better Safe Than Sorry

Hearing about people, especially kids, drowning is really heartbreaking. I know it’s the last thing that parents or a family want to deal with, but unfortunately, accidents do happen.

But we can always take precautionary measures to avoid such accidents. Having pool fencing, for example, offers extra safety to keep the kids from going to the pool without adult supervision and help prevent accidents from happening.

Day After Christmas

lynndee — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 15:48:49 +0000

The day after Christmas is probably one of the saddest days for me. Christmas is over and the excitement is gone. And though we all had a blast on Christmas Eve at my BIL’s and on Christmas Day next door, I can’t help but be a little sad today. I have to wait for another 365 days once again until next Christmas. (“,)

To keep myself busy, I did the laundry and cleaned up my son’s room. He received a lot of gifts like books, toys and clothes, so, I arranged them neatly in his bedroom. I got a gift from my SIL and lotsa gifts from the husband. He’s got his share of lovely gifts too. (“,)

It was a Merry Christmas indeed for all of us!
