I never used to shop only when things are at a good price till the spouse owned a business and of course after having a child. Both comes with great responsibility and both requires that I become sensible and look out for deals when I buy stuff. Of course, that doesn’t mean that I short change myself with the quality of the things I buy – so I buy things that are off season. Like now – the spring stuff are out and men’s running shorts are what I should be buying for the spouse – but instead I would buy the winter leftover now and wait till summer before I buy the running shorts for him. That way I know that I will still be getting the same shorts but at a better deal – in fact – because of the better deal – I usually buy more than 1. Same with Chloe’s clothing – now her snow pants are like 50% off – and I buy a size bigger for next year – and same with her Christmas dresses. What about you? do you do the same ? or am I the only cheap charlie?
Every Woman’s New Year Resolution

And more so for me – since I saw my neighbor at the grocery store today – looking fabulous! boy ! do i envy! time to get the best weight loss pills and make sure I look as fabulous for the two weddings I have to attend this year.

So yes, exercise, exercise, exercise and eat right and get some weight loss supplement. Was losing weight and looking great one of your new year’s resolution? the truth now!
No More Bi-focal For Me
Last year I went to a different eye doctor – because my old one refused to give me a prescription for bi-focal and I was so sure I needed it because when I need to read anything – I have to remove my normal glasses. So I got my bi-focal last year – which cost me a good $500 – for a pair and what happened? I still couldn’t use my bi-focal – because it doesn’t seem to work very well for me. And how do I read now? I still need to take off my glasses! *sigh* – so after paying so much – and not being able to use it leaves me very frustrated because I could have gotten 2 pairs for the same price if not because of my bi-focal. So now i’m sticking to cheap glasses since I don’t have to have bi-focal – that’s for sure. So I’m wrong – and my old eye doctor is right.
A Cozier Home This Year
So we started the new year – with some new furniture for our home. We finally broke down and bought chairs for our dining table – because the ones we had – were not color co-ordinated. So while eating at a local restaurant in town – we were kinda inspired – they had the kind of sturdy chairs we wanted – so after a late lunch one afternoon – we headed to get the chairs. Chairs are expensive here ! at $70 a chair! we bought 3 new ones. Then we bought a new chest of drawer for Chloe – since she is still using her old one – that is too small for her now. And next we bought a new kitchen faucet for our kitchen – and the only thing we are looking out for – when the price is right – is a front load washing machine and dryer. We needed a new kitchen faucet – because our current one was leaking and rusty looking as well. As for the washing machine and dryer – it’s because we want an energy and water saving machine – our old one works well – but it’s an top load one – and it’s time to change. I can’t wait to do other little things for our home – so that we can start having friends and family over for visits.
A Tour Of Our Local Hospital
The school brought Chloe for a tour of our local hospital and of course – the kid came back with loads of questions for us. From why there are rack mount in the hospital to all about the lab and what she saw in the lab. And of course the baby rooms where all the babies were kept after the babies were born. So like any parents – we try to explain all the details to her – as far as we know how.
It’s amazing that school are so proactive in showing kids everything around them – from apple farm to museums and the firefighter’s office – I would enjoy it tremendously too if I was a kid all over again. Back home every excursion the school arranges- we had to pay for them – and also we had to bring our own food for lunch and break time. But not here in Canada – everything is paid for by the school and even the school buses arranged are all paid for – so yes! Canadian students are definitely much more lucky, therefore, it would be hard for me to think of bringing Chloe home and having her study in Singapore where the competition is a lot more competitive than around here – it’s pretty relax mode over here in Canada.
Santa Came Visiting
So did Santa come visiting you at home? and bring you lots of toys and goodies? Chloe said to me yesterday evening that Santa saved her by bringing her the lil’ rinser – a plastic cap thingie that you put on the kids head – to keep the water outta the kid’s faces – hahha! that was too funny! but yes! Santa found our home yesterday and made some people really happy. We had bought some
usb drives to give out to our customers this Christmas – so whenever they use the USB drive – they will think of us – pretty neat eh? I think it’s the most useful corporate gift for just about anyone who uses the computer – and since we do own a computer store – it’s only right to give a personalized USB drives to our customers. PB said he might even get this to resell at our store – but also have our store’s name printed on it.
Sending Christmas Presents Home
For those who are away home – I’m sure you’ve already mailed out all the Christmas presents that you want to send home. If not – you better hurry – I don’t think you have very much time left. I had an easy time getting presents for my family back home – one of my brothers – love wrestling, and wrestlers – anything to do with wrestling – he is into big time. So I bought him some wresting t-shirts, wrestling tapes and wrestling caps and his favorite wrestler figurine. His was the easiest to get to be honest – don’t you just love the internet! On the same note – I’ve bought stuff online for Christmas – it makes life so much easier for me – what about you ? how did you make out with your Christmas shopping?
SmartPhone For Christmas
When you don’t know what to get the teenage niece or nephews for Christmas – then try the htc desire hd smartphone. That was what they had asked for this Christmas – and it’s like $79.95- which isn’t a bad price – since we all spend like $100 each for the nieces and nephews on Christmas. Lucky for us – we don’t have a lot of them around – hahahha! Is it the latest gadget in the market? i wouldn’t know – but you know kids – if they asked for it – it must be pretty awesome – since they know everything about these gadgets.
6 hrs Of Sleep
For a while there I was sleeping more than 6 hrs a night but lately – I have gone back to my old habits because I had to spend a lot more time with Chloe teaching her – her homework and going through reading books with her. Plus Chloe had been a lot more demanding of late – so even though I go home from the store at 5pm – I don’t get to do any of my work at all. So by the time she goes to bed – I start with my own housework and preparing for her food for the next day – I end up in bed late AGAIN! I was telling PB he needs to get me some under eye creams and not just any ordinary ones – because while people has eye bags – I have eye luggage – yes! it’s that bad! Yes! when you have kids – you really have to time yourself properly – but with a spouse – who needs time for gaming – instead of helping you out with “your” domestic stuff – that’s when he has to spend more money on eye creams for me.
Hormonal Acne
I do believe in hormonal acne when the niece spoke with me about it the other day – because before i had my hysterectomy – I usually get mine when I was going to have my menses – and it was like clockwork. The acne and pimples start popping out and then the flow starts. There are hormonal acne treatments for people like myself and I wished I had known about this earlier – because then I don’t have to waste my money buying things that doesn’t work. So I am recommending hormonal acne treatments to anyone who has the same problem as I and regain their confidence back immediately and no more wasting of your money.
