I know that we’re fine with what we have, yet some times I still find myself looking at laptop deals and mentally trying to see how we might be able to afford to get one. It’s silly of me, but at the same time I can’t help but want something like that because it would [...]

I realized while I was at work that I’ve missed the anniversary of my first full year as an American citizen. I got my citizenship on April 24th last year. Last year was my first 4th of July as an American, but we really didn’t do very much as my husband was working. This year [...]

I was putting blue nail polish on my nails the other night and was suddenly struck by the advances that have gone on in my life time. The things that the munchkin will never have to experience and may even think that I’m making up when I tell him how things used to be. While [...]

My son is three years old and was trying to be helpful this morning. He was fetching and carrying various items of clothing out of the laundry room with me and then started piling up other clothes in the hopes of us putting those away too, not realizing that those were from the “dirty laundry [...]

Today the builder came and fixed up the air conditioning cabinet so that it’s more stable. He charged us $50. So, there’s a bit of good luck. I was afraid it was going to be several hundred to get everything sorted out — if not more, because we would have to get someone to take [...]

I’ve been playing a new game on Facebook called Restaurant City which is another of those “addicting fun” games. You play a restaurant owner, and can hire yourself and friends to work in your restaurant as chefs, waiters and cleaners, and other people from facebook have sprites that come into your restaurant. When you get [...]

Things are both up and down at the house right now. On the upside the air conditioner is all but fixed. We were only without AC for a few hours on Monday but it felt like forever. We have a builder coming to give us an estimate on replacing the board that the unit is [...]
