Have Date, Will Fly Home

I talked to my mom last night and got confirmation that my brother R is getting married later this year. So, yes, we are going home again to be with family and celebrate this great occasion. Woohoo!

I wish I was back home to help in the preparations, and give the couple some tips on where to get the best buy for all of their wedding paraphernalia. It's always fun doing the preps. I can recall when we had ours almost four years ago how busy I was attending to all of the details. Yes, it was tiring but I enjoyed every minute of it. :)

First Class

I just attended a free online class on Digital Scrapbooking. It's for amateurs and it ran on Webinar for two hours. It was awesome because it felt like the presentor was just right in front of you, and they had all these polls and visual tools to help you learn more about the subject. I wish I had learned earlier about it so I could have informed more people. Unfortunately I was only able to post it on my Scrappy Freebies blog thirty minutes before the seminar started so I am not sure how many people got wind of it. But now that I know about these things already, I am sure to keep an eye on the organizer's website for any classes in the future.

Done with the holidays

Yup, it's all over as far as our household is concerned. I finally took the tree down and it is now quietly hibernating in its own box. It would have been much earlier had I been a little bit less lazy last week. I must have had a hangover of some sort.

Anyway, just popped in to say a quick hi. I'm off to do other chores while the little girl is still asleep. I'll also be drawing our shopping list (which does not include spring plungers by the way) as tomorrow is mall day. Can't wait! :)

Peace be with you!

Your Word is "Peace"



You see life as precious, and you wish everyone was safe, happy, and taken care of. Social justice, human rights, and peace for all nations are all important to you. While you can't stop war, you try to be as calm and compassionate as possible in your everyday life. You promote harmony and cooperation. You're always willing to meet someone a little more than halfway.

What's Your Word?

Backyard Blues

Inside the home, we are starting to make some progress with our makeover projects, and am pretty happy about it. But as I look out into our tiny backyard which, by the way, is overgrown with weeds and what-nots (not sure if we have Blackberry plants as well), I am dismayed. Well, for one thing, I am not really into gardening. I like trimming them bushes, but that's about it. So I'm not really sure how we'll be able to turn this thing around. We have lots of flowering plants which I adore and don't want to get rid of, but I don't know how to make the most out of them. We're thinking of putting pavers but have yet to consult a professional as to how it's all going to be. And yes, that means more expenses, which has detered us from doing anything about it at the moment. In due time I guess.

Hello 2009

Isn't it terribly obvious I have been very busy during the holidays? LOL. Belated Happy New Year greetings (oncce again) go out to all ye faithful and loyal readers of this blog. Yes, we haven't really been taking a break during the holidays because we were mostly out attending parties, or checking out some home improvement stuff in the shops, not to mention checking out some for personal use as well. It's good to be blogging again though. I missed writing and updating all my blogs every so often that I can. You'll see more of me in the coming days. Promise!
