Updating Our Kitchen Stove

One of the best place I feel comfortably good at home is the kitchen. The family stays most of the time there preparing meals. I love to cook most of the time that is why a beautiful kitchen matters to me. I really wanted to update our old kitchen. In between our vacation to the Philippines and moving from one state to another all I can do for now is go online to compare the prices of a good self cleaning smooth stove just like what my girl friend Jen has. We like to stay in their house and cook too. I already told hubby what I wanted and he thinks it's a really good choice. This oven comes with a really nice oven and broiler. It is also large enough to handle jobs like stir frying, boiling large pots of water and precise baking.

Lunch At Eastern Buffet

We had lunch at Eastern buffet today. There were Chinese and Japanese food to choose from. There were a lot of food but I was not impressed as hubby thought I would be. The dessert choices seem to be a day old. I saw the kids choosing to have fresh vege salad and fruits which was something new to me. I never seen them choose these foods before but I am really glad that they did. I think that would my last lunch in that restaurant.

Heaven and Spencer's Birthday

My daughter and nephew celebrated their birthday together today. They celebrated it at Jollibee Mactan. The kids surely had a blast celebrating it with family and friends. There were games and prizes and giveaways too. They had spaghetti, yum cheeseburger, chicken joy and sundae. It was really good. My nieces, nephews and friends were there. Hubby had a blast too since he danced with one of my uncles. The gathering was a success since the kids enjoyed it a lot.

Mom and Dad's New Place

This guest post from Lewis Beck

When mom and dad first bought their place in Texas I didn’t really know what kind of advice to give them. We’re all from up north so there wasn’t really anything I knew about San Antonio that could help them so I just went with the flow and talked to the real estate agent. She was super helpful and told me about all kinds of stuff they needed to know. For example, the sales tax in Texas is a lot higher than anywhere else and it has something to do with the way they do income tax. She also told me about Shopelectricityratestexas.com which is where all the Texans go to look into a good rate on their energy costs which are apparently deregulated. I was glad to be able to pass on some useful information to mom and dad and I hope I’ll be able to fly down soon and help them get their life all set up there. I can’t believe they’ve moved so far away but I’m excited for them!

Why I Like My Wife's Group Exercise Class

Thanks for the post, Vernon Lowe

I married the greatest woman in the world; she's smart, beautiful and a great wife and mother. We've been married ten years and they've been the ten happiest years of my life. I'm worried about her, though, and I thought if I wrote it down I could see better how to help her. You see, she thinks she's fat; even though I tell her she's beautiful she doesn't believe me. We have three of the greatest kids around. I know every woman thinks she's fat after having a baby (my sisters did), but my wife took off the extra weight after the births.

I think it's these women's magazines she reads a! lot. Every single copy has an article about women's weight loss in it and she eats it up. So I searched for something to help her and I think I've got it. What I want to do is enroll both of us in a group exercise class at the local gym. I don't want her thinking I consider her fat and, to be honest, I could lose the spare tire, myself. So Wednesday night I'm going to set the home security alarm from Atlanta Home security and take her to work out. I might even dance in the group exercise class, too. I want this to be fun and helpful for us both, something we can share.

Updating the House

What's the most important thing to do when we sell a house? I remembered when we bought this house like three years ago. We went to visit different houses for sale. We always look forward to seeing the kitchen and the master bedroom in every place. These are the two most important spaces where most of the time we like to stay.

We are in the process of staging the house for sale. We will be moving out soon but before this will happen we need to update the house a little bit to sell it faster. One cabinet is missing a door since we got here. Now that we are moving we need to make it look better than just leaving it it open and empty. A mini-fridge or a wine glass rack would really look good there as the handyman suggested. There are many things that needs to be done in this house I realized. I love to organize especially the kitchen area where it needs to be very clean and tidy when people come and visit. The pantry cabinet needs updating too. I am trying to empty the counter space and I really wanted to put a bread slicer in one corner to make it look great.

Dinner @ Borgata Buffet

I did my best in losing weight or was it my best? Exercise, weight loss pills and choosing the right kind of food. After bringing my booklets upstairs and downstairs I got lazy writing down the kind of food I eat which was supposed to be done with my Alli booklet. The nice thing about it is you get conscious wuth what you write down and what you eat the funny thing is I bring it everywhere i go and loose it somewhere. Yet I am conscious of the things I put in my mouth since it is not easy to bring it out on the other end. Ilove exercising on my Blowflex it has really helped me tons. I lost 5 lbs which is not bad. Hey it's a reason to celebrate. I treated myself to Atlantic City shopping and Borgata buffet dinner. It was one of the most memorable dinner buffet. The food was good and I felt like I am in control of myself no matter how much food there is in front of me.
There's a lot more to lose but it feels great that I have started this regimen just to make me feel good inside and out.
