Candy Bar Wrappers

A very unique store, I’ll have to say, even i took a liking to it immediately. Some of the goodies sold here.. are not only edible but they are really cute..!! and very unique..!! i bet those receiving these gifts would be equally amused.. and find them memorable.

The personalized mint tins can be used for any occasion, as for me, I am thinking of getting it for my customer/s for Christmas, they are really lovely, if you ask me. I bet my customers would love it.. and remember us each time they use it. They have plenty of party favors, for you to choose from, all of them are really nice and cutesy. Kids party favor would be what i am keen on, when it’s my kid’s birthday.

Bridal shower favors need not be expensive and can also be personalized, at Candy Bar Wrapper, they sure have some great picks. Check out their Ribbon Adorned – Personalized Candy Tin, only at $2.70 a tin, it definitely wouldn’t break your bank account, yet, really simple and elegant.
Want to say thank you in a special way, well… look no further.

What Would You Do With an 18.5 Pound Lobster..??

I bet my father-in-law would love them on his sandwiches.. and for me.. i’ll do my lobster bisque.. and fry some lobster udon with it. But temporary resident in Yarmouth County had other plans for “Ralph” .. that’s the lobster’s name. Nope.. he didn’t BBQ Ralph .. nor is he keeping Ralph for a pet. Can you guess what he did..??? It is really nice to know that there are good ppl out there.. if that gives you a hint.

The money that was paid for Ralph is going to the Alzheimer Society. So even though Canadian posties were not included in the recent opportunity to promote the Alzheimer Society, we still did our part.

For everyone who can guess what was done to “Ralph” .. i’ll donate a dollar for every right answer to the Alzheimer Society. So come on.. make your guesses.. and donate for a good cause.

Juggling Time

Sometimes.. i too wonder how i do it.. cook.. work.. clean up.. look after the brat.. feed her.. and more cleaning.. and more cooking for the next day. And the routine goes on and on. Usually i donch have to cook for PB .. i only need to take care of the brat’s meal .. and that alone is quite taxing. But today.. i managed not only to cook for the brat, baked chicken for PB .. and double boil soup for the brat the next day too. Washed dishes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. And even managed to put the brat down to bed tonite.

Mothers and wife are just amazing creatures.. who can juggle time.. and multi-tasks. My mum used to juggle her time to cook at least one meal a day for us. I can now understand why she gets real agitated.. if things are not within her control and the way she planned it. I never thought i would say this.. but i’m as anal as my mum..! muahahahah!

Best Cook In The World

The things a child say.. can really warm your heart so much.. I sometimes donch know where she gets it from.. or what i did good to deserve such a good and smart and warm loving kid.

This evening… while feeding her some “chinese” noodles.. the brat turned around and said this to me… “Mom.. you are the best cook in the world..!” muahahahhaha!! you tell me.. that doesn’t shocked you first.. and then warms your heart so much.. you just wanna drop everything and cry… and hug her..! I was very tickled too.. and you know what.. chloe is so sensitive.. coz’ she knows exactly what we need to do at work.. or on the computer.. and she takes in just about everything you say.

Tonite.. i didn’t spend time on the puter.. because i didn’t have anymore work to do. You know what Chloe said to me.. “Mom.. you have no opps to take..??” .. muahahhahaha!! You tell me lah..!! how can all these smartness not warm my heart leh..?? I’m forever grateful to the ONE up there.. for giving me such a lovely kid..! and all i want for her is to be healthy and happy always. AMEN..!

Nursing Is The Way To Go

If i weren’t afraid of dead ppl and mortuary, I would have become a nurse or even a doctor. But i’m handicapped because i’m a wimp… muahahha!! For years and years.. i’ve known all along. .that nursing pays not only well.. it is one profession.. that will never be too much ..! For generations.. during my grandfather’s time, he had wanted my aunt to go into nursing.. and to please him.. she did. One of my uncle was the head of the nursing school back home. And one of our favourite customer’s wife is also heading the nursing dept here.

With the loonie so strong here in Canada.. it’s enough to lure some nurses back from the States. I know alot have gone to the States to work. Maybe the strong loonie will work for us this time.. instead of against us. Nurses and doctors are a great shortage here in Nova Scotia and with more and more nurses retiring.. we’ll need to do more than just giving them more pay. I hope the government will act on it and take advantage of the currency situation.

Dog Training

I’ve never thought about owning a dog although i do love them.. alot. It takes alot of loving and nurturing just like for a child to have a dog, in my humble opinion. I find that dog training, is alot harder than training a child because firstly, you don’t really understand what the dog is telling you. Sure dogs are very smart but i feel that professional help is needed in this area, unless of course you have all the time in the world.

Professional help is also needed to train a dog for particular skill or to correct a dog’s behaviour. And you really want to have a happy, loving and a well-mannered dog too. Just imagine bringing your dog out for a walk, and your dog starts barking at a child, now that is not only embarrassing, that can be quite devastating to the child as well.

Getting trained to communicate with your dog is also very important. When you bring a dog home to be your pet, you have to learn how to love your dog and by training the dog correctly, you’ll not only find joy in having this pet but be proud of your pet dog. Professional help can be hassle free, affordable and professional.

It’s Summer Again..??

I was just complaining about the weather turning cold a few days ago.. but boy! was it warm today.. it’s almost like summer again. I hear it is not only us here in town that experienced the warm weather today, apparently all of Nova Scotia had good weather today. I think we must be closed to 3o degrees today.

Poor Aida from Nunavut was already experiencing snow last week. Bummer..!

Duvet

Having a good night sleep is very important to everyone and especially for those who have young kids at home, the moreso , you want to get really rested. Moreover, the decoration of your bedroom and what you put on your bed such as duvet covers, are very important part of the whole bedroom ambiance. You want your whole bedroom to give you a relaxing feel and you want warmth to come with it.

Therefore, what covers you choose for your bed is just as important. But you and I know that once you are married, you share your bed and the bedroom with your partner, so choosing the right design, the right color and the right fabric for your duvets are just as important. I love the flowery duvets but like an men, they like the solid colors more and less of the girly stuff. So finding a company with a large range of quality bedding was our mission. And of course if we can find something we both like and affordable, now that would be a perfect setting for our bedroom.

At Terry’s you can find stylish and quality looking duvets at very affordable prices. Plus they come complete with pillow cases and a contrasting pattern, so you can use it on reverse, making it look like you have 2 sets of duvets instead of one, stretching those dollars you are spending too. I found a contemporary flower duvet with solid colors and the spouse liked it too. Plus a no quibble refund policy, i have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Terry’s Fabric I so love!

Super VHS Cord

Owning an electronic store can sometimes bring you some funny questions from customers. Just a few days ago, someone came into the store.. to ask if I was from and i had told him, I’m from Canada.. just so he can stop asking me more questions .. because .. i really didn’t wanna entertain him since i was alone in the store. PB had gone home with the brat and Keegan. But he went on and one.. and spoke to me in Tagalog as if i was a Filipino’s..!! Donch get me wrong.. i love my filipino friends.. but i had already told him.. i’m from Canada right..?? and I’m a Chinese..! You know.. when you just wanna roll your eyes.. and slap your forehead.. when something like that happens..?? ya.. that kinda feeling.

And then he bargain for the VHS movie price and said.. he only had $3.57 when i told him the movies were at $4.56. And the best part of everything is .. he asked if we had Super VHS Cord..?? What IS that…?? Have you heard about a Super VHS cord..?? So i asked PB when he came back.. and we are guessing he wanted a S-Video cord..?? To be honest.. some customers.. you just wanna rid off.. so bad.. if you know what i mean. Half drunk and smelling of pot sure doesn’t make me feel good at all.
