I want to believe that somebody might have noticed that I don’t blog anymore as often as I did. I’m so sorry. Blame it to our new house as I am enjoying very much making it look pretty. It could also be because every time I get online, the things that I checked are the local job opportunities that I might be qualified and I did some action on it right away. Also, our internet connection right here and now is not very good. Well, I am not making excuses for not posting often and for not visiting your blog, I am just raving about my new life here which I thought would be a lot more of free time than when we were still in Michigan, but don’t get me wrong, I want everybody to know that I am enjoying every single second of our life now here in Florida.
.
Well, I have been to Wal-mart to buy the things that I need in preparing dinner tonight, but it is so frustrating that I can’t find everything that I need there. I just don’t want to go to another store just for the remaining stuff on my list that I didn’t find. It is wasting time and I hate it. But hey, I found a website that come up with this cool “grocery shopping list”. It is a very innovative way for housewives like me who value time very much because of too many things in the list that are waiting to be taken care of. Through this website, you simply add the product that you are looking for (be sure to add their local names, too, because for some matter, people from different places or countries call the same thing with different names). You can also use “My favorite” page and then quickly prepare your shopping list, print it out and off you go to pick them up from the stores that you have selected.
.
Isn’t this cool? Visit their facebook profile and become a fan of this to keep up with all the updates. Let us all be a smart housewife serving our husband joyfully.

We all know that N1H1 flu is spreading around USA, and wearing a mask has become needed, so, in case we run out of masks during the N1H1 flu season, here is a ‘homemade’ mask you can make yourself. It is even compatible with the wearing of glasses! One thing though......... MAKE SURE YOUR MASK IS CLEAN!!!!!!!!

Let's Go Paintballing
The hardest part for my husband in leaving Michigan was leaving his son, but after a month of staying here, I see right now that it is not too bad for him, and besides, they are regularly talking on the phone. His son’s birthday will be on 29th of this month. My husband is planning to have his son come over on Christmas vacation. That will be their chance of bonding together again.
.
Talking about their bonding, my husband always wanted to participate in paintballing. That sounds cool. Maybe all three of us can do that. He was looking online on where to purchase the weapon, and found bt paintball guns and some other top selling guns in PntBall.com. Their prices of bt paintball are amazingly low and they ship for free. I am looking forward to this with excitement. If you are interesting in paintballing, visit their website for your needs.

Happy Veterans Day
This article was posted a year ago. I moved this post today prior to the events of "Veterans Day."
.
"THE MARINE CORPS MOTTO" - That Marines have lived up to their motto, "Semper Fidelis" (Always Faithful), is proven by the fact that there has never been a mutiny among U.S. Marines. This motto was adopted about 1883. Before that, there had been three mottoes, all traditional rather than official. The first, "Fortitudine" (With Fortitude), appeared about 1812. The second, "By Sea and by Land," was obviously a translation of the Royal Marines' "Per Mare, Per Terram." Until 1848, the third motto was "To the Shores of Tripoli," in commemoration of O'Bannon's capture of Derne in 1805. In 1848, after the return to Washington of the Marine battalion which took part in the capture of Mexico City, this motto was revised to "From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli." The current Marine Corps motto is shared with England's Devonshire Regiment.
In sweet memory of my grandfather VICENTE VIDAL, was an American Veteran, I give him the honor to be remembered on this day for what he did for the star-spangled country, USA.
This info was grab from this website .

We Love Myrtle Beach
My husband told me that on every winter people from the north come down to stay here in the south. Well, I can’t blame them. That is why I am here, too. I just can’t stand the cold weather in Michigan during fall, winter and early spring. I am so happy that we are here now in Florida.
.
Aunt Kathy from Michigan and Aunt Jean from Virginia is here in Florida to stay until spring. They suggest that we spend few days in South Carolina to see the most popular Myrtle Beach. Well, I would like to. I love being there and I can go back there again and again without becoming sick of it. My husband and I always prefer Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotel. The sights are just so awesome! It is the ideal place to go for the whole family. .

The resort is more than a luxurious place to visit; it's a place for fulfilling dreams and making memories. Myrtle Beach Hotel is located directly on the beach side. They provide a professional staff and the finest amenities for your vacation. Escape from the brutal winter and plan your vacation now..

Happy Forget-Me-Not Day
Forget-Me-Not is my husband's favorite flower. But I just learned that on every November 10th is Forget-Me-Not Day. According to Holiday Insight, it is a day to remember family, friends, and loved ones.
.
People use this day to get in touch with family, friends and loved ones, especially those who we haven't seen in a while. You don't want them to forget you, do you!? This day is intended to remember the living. But, some people have used it to memorialize a loved one who is no longer with us.
.
Here are some great ways to celebrate National Forget Me Not Day:
*Send email to somebody that you haven't heard in a while.
*Give Forget Me Not flower seed packets to family and friends. This is very popular. The seed packets are very inexpensive and easy to mail.
*Phone people you haven't seen in a while and wish them a happy National Forget Me Not Day. They will get the message.
.
Origin of Forget Me Not Day: (from Holiday Insights)
We did not find the originator of this special day. Nor, did we find any factual information. We find it strange, that the creator of has been "forgotten". (he-he-he) We did find organizations, mayors and other officials who have proclaimed a "Forget Me Not Day". They were declared for a wide range of reasons and were celebrated, largely as a one time event, on many different dates.
.
Happy "Forget-Me-Not Day" to everybody.

Tough Camera Bag
I was in Walmart yesterday and took a store flier from them. When I get home, I checked what the deals are on this month and I found out that there is a Samsung camera in a very good price. I have been waiting for a good deal of camera because I want to purchase one and give to my nephew who really loves photography. This could be my Christmas gift for him. Well, I think I have enough money on my bank to purchase this camera. The camera does not include bag. I don’t mind so much because the price itself is already very cheap. So, I will just need to look for camera bag, strong enough to carry around.
.
Good thing is that it did not take me so long to find good quality camera bags on the internet. The image shown is a camera bags that I like so much and I think this is the best camera bag I have ever seen. It is made of durable material and really looks so tough that it will serve its duty to keep the camera safe inside wherever you go. Whoever created this must be very smart. I believe that this camera bag can be turn to sling bag, too. But actually, the site where this product came from also have sling camera bag. I just can’t keep my mind off this very cute yet sturdy looking camera bag. Maybe I will buy two of this; one for myself and one for my nephew.
