This made my day!!

Here’s a public service announcement for those unfortunate people who don’t know what to do with their extra cash.

Why not buy a beach house? I guess the next question would be, where should I buy a beach house?

I have just the answer for you, there are currently folly beach homes for sale. Can you just imagine the restful weekends you can have in these homes?

You guys haven’t seen my car but it’s in a sorry state lately. It has a dent on the hood, a scratch on the right side and a cracked windshield.  It’s hard finding the time and the money to have everything fixed. If I had my way, I’d get my hands on some body shop supplies and learn how to repair it myself.

The image in my head of myself repairing a car is just too funny.

Valentine’s day is coming. Are you one of those people who go all out for this occassion? I have a friend who’s actually going to buy a plasma tv for her boyfriend. BOYFRIEND okay not even husband.

I personally think that’s going too far too soon. I wouldn’t mind getting one for Ruy as I’m sure he’d go crazy over it, unfortunately I only have budget for a plasma lift right now…so sorry Ruy, you might have to wait for 5 years more…hehehe

Have you ever felt that the only purpose of your weekend was to do your chores?  I have and I still do actually.

Today I have to do the following:

- Go to the grocery

- Work on my blogs

- Finish the Calendars I’ve been working on

- Be a wife and mother

Waaaah…I also somehow need to relax. Good luck to me.

Remember the glasses I told you about before? Well I’ve lost them. I feel so stupid and wasteful cause we all know that glasses generally don’t come cheap. It’s also extremely hard trying to find something which looks unique. Most glasses I’ve seen look exactly like every one elses and I hate that.

Now presenting my Great Discovry: $ 8 Prescription Glasses From Zenni Optical . The glasses on this site are not only extremely affordable, they’re quite fashionable as well.

I personally like this style, I think it would fit the shape of my face perfectly.

I sometimes find it funny just how biased my relatives are when it comes to Andrea. In their heart of hearts I’m pretty sure they believe that there is no smarter baby in this world. Seriously, I think they think that.

It’s quite funny cause every time they see me they talk about how smart Andrea is by giving me evidences which support their argument.

I take this all with a grain of salt because I’m aware of the tendency of love to blind us all. I would then point out things which are proofs that Andrea is a normal baby. For example “Well this baby learned how to do the close-open at 4 months…Andrea’s 9 months and she still doesn’t do that”…here’s where it gets interesting…they tell me it’s cause Andrea has a strong personality and doesn’t want to follow….but if she wants to follow she can.

Isn’t that funny?  Ah…unconditional love and admiration like only grandparents can give

I have thousands upon thousands of  Andrea’s pictures saved on our pc and these are things I love looking at over and over and over again. I sometimes wonder what I’ll do if God forbid I lose all of those files. I think I’ll have that heart attack I was talking about a few posts down.

I found out that there’s such a thing as Computer Forensics. What is that you might ask? It’s the process of retrieving data from computers who  have conked out, died, passed the bucket or whatever you might want to call it. The company which specializes on this is called Flashback data and they’re the best when it comes to file recovery.

It’s the weekend!! And yet I’m dying to go back to work. It’s a sick sick problem I have.  Welcome to the world of a workaholic.

Ruy and I were chatting last night and I came across this big idea for a company-wide project involving my team and I’m dying to bring it forward. You can’t believe how excited I was last night. I kept on mumbling “Brilliant! it’s Brilliant!” over and over again.

I think I’m going to put it down on paper in a while to make sure I don’t forget it.  

I don’t know if you all know this but I have a heart condition called MVP. Mitral Valve Prolapse is basically a condition where one of the muscles which opens and closes the channels between the atrium and the ventricle does not work properly.

The only effect of this on me right now is that I experience arrythmia which is an Irregular Heartbeat. It’s something quite uncomfortable but is not deadly.

Having this condition makes me a bit paranoid though. It makes me feel as if I’m especially susceptible to Cardiac Arrest or other deadly heart conditions. This is why I have been dying to go walking for so long. I really want to have a healthy heart cause I want to see Andrea grow up

As I have mentioned a few posts down, Ruy and I celebrated err commemorated our 7th year anniversary as a couple.

Ruy actually was inviting me to go and watch a movie with him last night but I said no. I just didn’t feel like it. I have never been a movie person and I would just be as happy staying at home watching something on DVD. That is sooo much more relaxing for me.

I realized though that turning down that offer might be insensitive. Here he is planning and scheming on how we can celebrate and he gives me a suggestion and I blast it immediately.

Oh well…
