Back To Healthy Meals

I noticed that when I stopped watching what I eat during meal times I easily gained the pounds that I lost before the holidays. I actually gained some more with plenty of activities last month. I stopped my healthy diet plan to make way for the holiday festivities and anyone reading this should agree that you can’t really go on your diet on holiday seasons. It’s hard to resist dinner invitations with friends, families, former schoolmates and officemates.

Last month was full of festive gatherings and it’s just doesn’t feel right to say no to them so I indulged with full heart. Now I’m back to healthy diet with a heavier body and a good appetite lol! If only my body can adopt the best weight loss pills I’m sure I’m can shed some pounds too. Anyway I can consult my doctor about it. For the meantime I think I’ll go back to a diet of fruits, vegetables and fish to lower cholesterol.

Good Traffic for My Sites

I’m glad that I found some time now again to visit web sites which sometimes I find it so hard to do with the usual weekend household chores and my kids’ demand for attention. I know most mothers like me understand this as Saturdays are the usual time to do it. When I and the kids have some schedule to go to the mall or anywhere we fancy I do my chores on Fridays to make way for weekend bonding. I have the chance to do this kind of scheduling now that I’m working at home. I can do whatever I want anytime because I have no office works.

It really feels so good and right to say those things now after 19 years of office employment. Well now that I have plenty of time to do things online I can also try submitting my sites to free directories so I can get my desired traffic for my sites. I know that this can drive huge traffic and visitors to my sites by some free tools they give for free. I would certainly love that for sure!

Growing Up Really Fast

My daughter Ruth is fast growing up and maybe after one or two year’s time she’ll be as tall as me. Next year she’ll be in high school and will start her adolescence period where she’ll experience having pimples, sudden changes in her biological self, maybe have some crushes and enjoy her teenage years. As she’s only 12 now I’ll enjoy her last year of being a girl because I know when she enters high school life would be different for her with her new school, new friends and new environment. The next thing I know she’ll be asking me about acne treatment gel when she experience having acne or ask about taking care of her face and body skin. Too many presumptions on my mind and that’s because I’m her Mommy and whatever stage she’ll be passing through I’ll always be beside her to guide, care and love her.

Promo Items

Holiday seasons are over and still I have some laziness in getting back to work. Although I’m just working at home now I still make my work on schedule just like when I’m going to work to office. I set my imaginary bundy clock to 9am as my official starting time in writing posts and visiting blogs. I also have lunch breaks and snack breaks just like working outside. I feel so lucky with this very flexible work schedule and I get to do offline and online tasks as scheduled.

It’s good to be working in the comfort of your home especially on holidays as I remember on my previous office job that I was involved in thinking what might be our promotional items for our long list of clients. The usual are small pouches, planner, key chains, ball pens, bags and many more. What I love most that I received from our partners is the personalized USB flash drive which I’m using currently.

Some Foreclosures

I was having my lunch when I was asked by a friend who regularly reads my blogs if I know a place that she can go to for a vacation. Of course I know many because I’ve been writing them here and in my other sites. For my friend I should search for the best and most affordable also as she don’t want to spend a lot of money on this vacation. I was browsing the net when I chanced upon this Outer banks foreclosures which caught my attention for minutes and I read the whole page. Well it’s not that I want to buy any foreclosed property I’m just interested with the news in case one of my investor friends would want to throw some money into it. Just a thought really!

My Friend’s Business Travel and Vacation

I just talked to my former officemates through online messaging and was glad to know that she’s having a good time with her vacation in the land of the Big Apple. She has a sister there and it saves her money because she has a place to stay with. But when she has business meetings on other place she stays in hotels because it would be too far to travel and she wouldn’t want to be late in any of her meeting with foreign business associates.

Lately she stays in one of las vegas hotel when her business partner requested their meeting to be near her place and she’s living in Las Vegas. They offer her a room in their house but she opted to stay in the hotel because she wants the good accommodation there. She asked me to have some chit chat lunch together when she goes home. Well all my friends abroad always tell me that and I’ll certainly wait for them.

Something New For Us

I’ve been arranging the house interiors different from last year as after the flood we’ve had some changes in our furniture. We’ve given out some of our furniture and kitchen things to start with fresh beginnings and forget the things destroyed by flood. We still have majority of our appliances but we’re thinking of adding some new beautiful addition to our house like a new sofa, new paint colors for the walls or maybe plasma mounts in the living room. We’ve done major changes in our front yard and gate and we’re still planning for some more like changing our floor vinyl tiles. I think it’s the air of new year that’s bringing us to seek for some new in our lives. The fever of new year is really catching us up.
