Marathon movie viewing

My sisters and I can be couch potatoes on weekends. We love marathon movie viewing. We love watching re-runs of our favorite tv shows. There are also days when we tune in to HBO and watch movie after movie. The Samsung HDTV is really a good investment for a family like us. Our TV is not only used as a display but it’s in the living room to be used daily.

To be sure that we are not overusing the TV, though, I bought a small back up one for the bedroom.

Errands and favors

I want to sell my timeshare. That’s what my uncle told me and he wants me to help him find a buyer. A legitimate one, of course. And he wants to be able to do this within the month.

I run errands and do favors for my relatives. The close ones only. It’s okay with me because I know they will do the same should I be the one to ask for it. But I make it a point to tell them that if it’s urgent and I am busy, I can’t do it. If they will allow me to do it according to my schedule, then it’s fine with me.

100% cash business

A friend of mine closed his business because of too many uncollected receivables from clients. Bad management, you can say. I think it traumatized him already. He lost a sizable amount of money from his business venture. But he needs to increase his income. His eldest will start private high school soon. I told him to check out vending machines. It is 100% cash business. No overhead costs to think of. No office rental and utility bills to pay for. No need to spend on advertising costs. It’s a simple business that won’t require too much capital and time from the owner.

I am sure my friend is very much interested in this venture. How about you? Visit Vendstar.com for more information or call them right away.

Ripe for injuries

A construction site is a place ripe for injuries. My dad once worked in a construction site abroad. He saw a co-worker fall down and injured his back in the process. Another co-worker’s hand was accidentally smashed with a concrete block by another co-worker. I was so grateful when my dad’s stint there was finished and he suffered only minor injuries.

If you suffered an injury at a construction site caused by the negligence of the owners, there are lawyers for this kind of injury. One of the Personal Injury Lawyers Omaha is Attorney Larry R. Demerath. He’s spent his life fighting for the rights of those injured caused by the negligence of others. Go ahead and visit his site at DemerathLawOffice.com now.

Mind is set.

My mind is set to buy a fitness equipment I can use at home. I really need to start losing weight otherwise I might end up over sixty pounds overweight. The only way I can see myself losing a pound or two a day is to starve myself. But since I can’t do that, I am opting to invest in a fitness equipment or two, ask a nutritionist to design a diet program for me, and stick to it.

I just hope I can find the determination and resolve to do this until I’d be near my ideal weight.

To live elsewhere or not

Who would have thought my uncle has the idea of living somewhere cold? We just found out about it when he told us that he’s looking at Anchorage homes for sale. He’s the financially well off in the family so he can really afford to buy a house there.

My dad, on the other hand, is still standing by his statement that he would rather stay put wherever he is right now. He’s better off with the tropics, according to him. I was actually asking the family if they wanted to move down under. But, well, my dad didn’t want to so we are still here where we were all born.

Someone cares for you

It is hard for a family to admit something is wrong with one of them. That’s why a lot of people with problems have a hard time coping. They probably feel like the people around them do not want to be burdened by it. At Passages Malibu, every one cares for your well-being. Every one would want to see you bounce back to your feet and live life the way you should again. There are drug and alcohol dependents who have made it big in life after being ‘healed’.

Let it be said that Passages does not treat your addiction as a problem. The good thing about Passages is that they are using a holistic recovery approach. There is something behind the addiction that triggers it. That’s what Passages Malibu will focus on. The underlying cause of addiction. I agree on this approach. Because you know, at the end of the day, the person really has a reason why he turned to drugs or alcohol. I am not tolerating their solution to their problems. I am just stating a fact.

Mel Gibson was treated for alcohol addiction. Other celebrities are reported to have checked into a rehabilitation facility to help them cope with drug addiction. There’s someone out there who cares about your well-being. Remind yourself that. Always. Read more about what Passages can do for you at Passages Malibu blog. Get help. Call 866-850-6673 now. Every phone call is answered 24 hours a day. Or go to PassagesMalibu.com now for more information about the facility and the program they use.

New tv?

A brand new tv set, complete with those plasma mounts maybe, will probably be inserted in my budget for this week. Our tv’s acting up and it’s really a bummer for us who loves watching cable shows. I don’t know if we can survive four days of no tv. We’re so used to the sound of it. We’re used to the news program on during lunch. The little girl is even asking for her favorite cartoon shows.

So I might be busting my savings and buying a brand new tv within the week. Or I might miss my favorite tv shows. Darn!

Fascinated by it

GroceryCounter

The little girl is fascinated with the Symbol LS2208 barcode scanner found at the grocery store near our place of residence. She would stare at it the entire time the items we bought were being calculated. She probably wonders if it’s a gun of an alien or something.

For myself, I find it convenient. Tallying of items bought becomes faster and easier when there’s a barcode scanner in place.

Cravings

Pancakes

I find myself always hungry. Maybe because I am always thinking about food. Like right now, my mind is full of pancakes. I find myself craving for a food I have eaten and find good. Or a food a friend told me about that she found good. I don’t think the best weight loss pills can put a stop to these uncontrollable cravings of mine. The thing with me is that when I crave for something and I don’t get to eat it right away, I become fixated on that food.

For weeks now, I find myself craving for Sisig Rice. Jay-J’s version of it, that is. It’s just too good! I swear if you are a fried rice kind of person, you will love it.

Now, I am craving for it again…
