Almost Sick

The hubby was not feeling well after we got up. His body was aching, throat was hurting and head was hurting. I had to cook and get lunch/dinner ready for this week and was doing my own stuff while he was attempting to do his homework. I had to run to the grocery store to get some milk etc while he stayed home with the dog. When I came home he was in bed and looked pretty sick. I quickly made some instant porridge for him for dinner. I knew that he was really sick when he went to lay down in bed. I quickly make some chinese herb for him to drink in hope that he'll not get worst. I also drank about a mug which now I think I should have had more. This after noon at work my throat was starting to feel sore and my head was not feeling the greatest. *sigh* I was drinking tons and tons of fluids hoping that I won't get ill because I don't really want to take off as I still have tons of things to learn. I'm still filling up on fluids and trying to over come being completely sick. Wish me luck..*fingers cross*

TIRED!

I'm beat..I'm extremely tired..mentally..I went to my new job today and I was dump bunch and bunch and bunch of information. I am supposed to absorb everything but all that happen was it went in my right ear and out the left ear. So overwhelming, so many things to learn and so challenging. I am supposed to read two thick file and learn stuff. I am more hands on person. I am not good at reading and learn from it I am thinking of talking to my assistant manager/ trainer and telling her that because I need to be the one doing the clicking and writing my own notes and learning from there! I need to do that..When I got home there was a couple of inches of snow and I had to shovel too because hubby wasn't back..all I wanted to do was lay in bed and forget about everything else..this week is going to be a challenging week for me and hopefully next week I'll slowly get the hang of things. We have MAC and Windows on our desk but we use MAC more and I have no idea how to use MAC although it is an awesome computer. What a waste but I'm determine to learn and like it..*finger cross* thank god for my retail therapy last weekend if not I'm not sure if I could survive this..

Retail Therapy Is Great

Hubby has been really busy with work, school and before school starts his grandpa was in the hospital. Life have been pretty busy for us thus no time for me or the puppy. I'm been deprived of shopping because I don't like to go shopping alone. Yesterday we were getting ready to go out and eat but ended up going on a service call because a station broke down. By the time we came home it was almost 3pm therefore we decided that we will go out for dinner. After dinner we were both extremely full so I suggest that we go to the store and walk around a little which I enjoyed very much but it cost us some dough..*wink* the best part was hubby decided to play with the Internet on the phone so he didn't even care what I took..*nyek nyek nyek*

Damage #1: Two Ralph Lauren sweater, a pair of Baby Phat's tights and a pair of Nine West pumps. Two Ralph Lauren top for a friend's son.

Today hubby had to do finish his quizzes but I had urge to go to the mall because I'm actually looking for a pair of Jeans therefore after he was done I suggest that we go to the mall to walk around. I didn't manage to find any jeans but we managed to do buy a ton of clothing. We walked just half of the mall but we thought we might as well stop before we do anymore damage to our bank account.

Damage #2: Me: Old Navy dress, sweater, and turtle neck. A pair of express pants. Gap sweater. Hubby: Old Navy-two pairs of pants, 3 polo tee and a long sleeves top.

Those were the damage done this weekend. I think my urge to shop is full filled for the mean time unless I manage to find a nice pair of jeans *roll eyes*.. Another thing I found out is when I go shopping next time I should ask hubby to take the phone and play online then I he would be good while I go look around..LOL..That's another way to make hubby not get bored that's all..

Graduated!!

It’s been a long time since I blogged about my little baby. Daddy forgot the camera for the third class and then that was the end of my picture taking because daddy keeps forgetting. Daddy didn’t attend his 7the class because daddy was busy with school work. I told daddy that he had to attend his graduation blah blah blah. I even invited his grandma and grandpa for graduation; everyone was supposed to be there but it ended up just me and Stanley. The weather was horrible, it was snowing pretty bad and grandpa and daddy was at a site busy working away. It was about 1.5 hrs from home and I called daddy at 5pm to tell him not to even attempt speeding back as the weather was horrible. I called grandma to tell her not to come if she doesn’t feel like driving in this cold nasty weather. It was a little disappointing more for me actually because I think Stanley can care less. Anyway back to Stanley’s graduation; he was going to be tested that night itself and there was only 1st to the 4th dogs get like a ribbon. I told daddy I don’t care what number he gets I just wants him to get between one of those numbers. Even 4th place is fine with me and daddy just laughed and told me to practice more with him. I did try to practice my hand command with him but it didn’t really work and I knew that we would lose points from that and his stand command. One of the part of the exam was the dogs was supposed to sit and stay for a minute and lay and stay still for another minute. Those two minutes felt like the longest two minutes of my life. I was trying to telepathy to Stanley to please stay and NOT move and I will reward him with treats later LOL. Finally the test was done and the dogs were free to play with the agility training stuff while she go calculate the scores. Teacher finally came back with the scores. The teacher told us that no dogs scored 50/50 but I was surprise because there was a Chihuahua there that I thought improved and was quite good. Any way Stanley got the FIRST place..I was so shy yet so happy for my little fellow. The teacher made a comment that one day that he improved a lot which I agree because even his grandpa was impress with him when we went up to the cabin the last time. I want to start him on the next class but I’m going to have to see mine and daddy’s work schedule etc. I was so happy yet so shy. Man I can see myself as a competitive mother next time too. I really hope not because I don’t want to give too much pressure to my child next time that if we have one. I really hoped that his daddy was there to see him but oh well there was nothing anyone was do. I am just glad that he got something out of this class.

Daddy took a picture of Stanley when he was sleeping on our bed one night.

Online Gambling

BIL likes to gamble here and there. He will gamble with family or friends, once in a while he’ll also visit the casino around here but the nearest casino we have here is about an hour away from home. I know he loves to play online games and he knows about online casino but I am not sure if he knows a specific online casino site. I found one called DEX casino and is the most trusted casino online. Their site is found to have the best online casinos, poker rooms and gaming sites on the web. The best part is their team has bet on most of the casinos and all of the recommendations are through personal experiences. I am sure BIL was not aware of the site and might be leery about online casinos and since this site most trusted online casinos listed he can go play around different casino at the leisure of his own home but in moderation of course.

Free Consumer Resource

In the US, when we want to get a loan for a house or car or anything they check your credit rating even if you want to apply for a credit card they check your credit rating. Credit rating is important and it’s build or maintain when we manage our credit for example paying bills on time every month. I am lucky enough to have a good credit rating but I have to be careful to not mess up my credit rating or else it’ll be difficult for me to get a credit card or any loan if needed. Luckily there is a website out there call BADCREDITOFFERS to help the people with no so great credit rating. BADCREDITOFFERS is here to provide knowledgeable information and resources to help people with bad credit loans and find the best credit offer to fit anyone’s needs. Their website helps people find the greatest credit card offer; home, car or personal loans. They can also help to track and monitor your credit rating so that people can get back on track to rebuilding their credit. I think this is a superb place for someone to visit if they have a not so good credit rating. I would highly suggest them to go look there and see how they can repair their credit rating.
