Last Thursday Night

Finally was able to spent last Thursday night with my girls, Verry & Alam Nahh. (those are their pseudo names by the way) Twas kinda like a bribe/pay off we got from my cousin V after helping her with that novel-like term paper for her Master's. A fully loaded dinner was her treat. After which off we went to our favorite hang out place- my grandmother's house, the room down the staircase, lol! We had drinks. But definitely didn't get drunk! Though it was our intention to get a lil tipsy but didn't hit us hard though. Was actually fun! Till next Saturday night again I guess. ^^

Below photos: Safari & Underwater adventure. Dang good!

True Love is Not Hurt by Time

Football Obsession

Content by Sol Rosales

My husband is an avid football fan, and since we got direct TV, he has become even more obsessed. DIRECT TV offers a package that includes every NFL game every Sunday. When my husband motioned that he wanted to buy a sports package, I really did not care. I had no idea he would be purchasing every NFL game. I am so sick of watching football I do not know what I am going to do. I am a big college football fan, and I do not have a problem watching college football. My husband and I both went to the University of Georgia, and we love to watch Georgia football on Saturdays. However, I do not have any real allegiance to the NFL, and every Sunday my husband watches football for eight solid hours. It is amazing how many channels are available today. No matter what your interests may be, there is a channel or channels for you. I just wish that my husband’s and I’s interests lined up a little more often. I would imagine that I am not the only wife who feels this way.

Teacher and student

Thanks to Lemuel Craft

Two nights ago my husband and I were watching the news, and one of the lead stories was about a teenager who robbed a convenience store at gun-point. The young man was apprehended, but as my husband was watching, he jumped up in disbelief. He is a high schoolscience teacher, and the teenage gunman was in his 4th period class last year. I could tell it made him feel uneasy, as we live in the community in which my husband teaches and the robbery took place. He was sad too. He spoke of the young man as troubled but with a good heart. My husband takes pride in his work as a teacher and truly cares about his students. He was truly saddened to see this young man’s life take a drastic turn for the worse. I think it also made him think about the community we live in. That night he got went to http://Home-Alarm-Systems.com to research home security systems. It is sad that he felt the need to do that, but that is the sad reality of the world we live in today. However, I am thankful for people like my husband: dedicated professionals who want to make a positive impact in the lives of others.

Boo!

Hey everyone, am still kicking! Been decades I know, really really sorry for neglecting this blog for so long. Guess I should be more sorry for myself, not being able to update. How's the firefly nowadays anyway? I'm soo doing great! Been enjoying all the things going on with her life right now. The month long vacation she had last July really did wonders. Hope I can put it down to writing, one of these days I might, lol!

Just to let you know am still around the hood, roaming and roving Bloglandia. You might not be aware of my footprints but definitely still here. Miss ya'll though.

The above photo was taken during that month long vacation at Dmgte Pinas. A glimpse of a future wedding. (Let it be! lol)

Mom's Problems

The Author of this post is Velma Baird

My mom broke her hip a few months ago in a fall at her home and she’s been more or less laid up ever since. The doctor says she’ll probably never regain her full mobility since she’s getting pretty elderly anyway but I’m hopeful that with the rehab and daily walks she’ll get better. She had been complaining about how bored she was at home all day so I went to DIREC.TV and looked into satellite packages for her since she really loves old movies. I found one I can afford without her help and it’s been my gift to her during her recovery! I love my mom and I wish I could be there every day to keep her company but since I have a full-tie job it’s going to take a while for me to be able to start getting home early to help her do some of her daily tasks. Hopefully she’ll continue to get more mobile and won’t need as much help doing things as she does now – it will be best for her.

Planning out the details for our family spring break

Guest post written by Patricia Martin

When it comes to vacations, my husband comes up with the general ideas and then I have to come up with all the specific details and reservations. That's happened once again for our spring break trip in a couple of weeks. My husband decided that we were going to go to Charleston, SC for spring break this year. I've never been before, but I've heard that it's really pretty.

So of course I've been looking up details for our trip. I was online trying to find a green hotel for us to stay in and while I was doing that I found the website http://www.shopelectricityratestexas.com/texas-electricity-companies/Texas/. I looked through it a little bit and after that I decided to sign up for one of the energy savings plans that I found on there for our home.

I'm excited about this family spring break even more than if we were just going to a beach. There are beaches near there but we're going to concentrate more on the sightseeing in the city. We love historical sightseeing and there's a whole lot of that to do there.

Looking for tire chains?

After so many weeks, am finally enjoying internet browsing again. I had a terrible problem with my previous internet connection but won't think about it anyway, I had enough! Right now am just doing my thing again, surfing, browsing, blogging. As for my title, I came across Tire Chain Dealer, your source of all kinds of tire chains and information about it. I find it interesting because am kinda wondering how to install tire chains. It looks complicated and difficult to put but as we know it's also very important. Especially for those going through snow, they know how essential it is for protection.

The video found in their website provides the much needed installation guide from the experts. It has detailed instruction and clear explanation. It also has tips on what tire chains a customer needs for his/her particular vehicle. Just click on the links if you're interested and learn more about it. Anyway, thanks to my new internet connection I can watch videos now. I used to wait like forever to load a single page, much more videos. Now you know why I wasn't around and leaving my marks. You have know idea how miserable my internet was.

Will see you now more often, good evening guys!

still

It's been 4 months since my last post here. The reason? Cause I was having the time of my life the last four months. Yes I did, it was a blast! Thought that I could be more active in blogging since I've got so many stories to tell and lots to say but, well, it turned out to be the other way around. Now it's over and done. And to keep the moments alive, it's time to blog. What's really up with me the last 4 months? Geezzzz, I dunno where to start! Am still, I guess..

Here I go again

Growing up I don't remember liking anything sporty. In school, PE class was one of my not so favorite subject. I was living a sedentary lifestyle, big time. Which leads to me to being an over weight teenager, thought I was happy about it until I came to my senses. Not that it's a bad thing, but it can be, eventually. So I started getting physical. Made drastic changes and stick with it, no matter how frustrating it can be sometimes. That's the time when I became a sports fan. I don't play anything sporty though just to make it clear. Just that athletes and players, they're a source of inspiration to me and of course to many. Seeing them living a healthy, active lifestyle, I also want to be that way though I know they're beyond fit and it's impossible for me to be like them, LOL!

Watching them play through TV gives me thrill. If I can only watch them live, it would be so much better! Yeah right...when could that possibly happen? When can I grab a Chicago Bulls tickets? A Boston Celtics tickets perhaps or New York Knicks tickets. That would be awesome, I might faint LOL! It's not happening, not in a million years but I'd keep on wishing, who knows? If am not getting a game passes, concerts tickets will do at least.

Just my imagination....
