sand dunes

One of the two huge sand dunes which the husband and I are debating whether man-made or not. We argued because we agreed on one thing that should the park people decide to level this down, it probably would make the beach wider. But then who are we to say? We don’t work nor do we live near the beach. We only go there when we want fresh air and a calm background. Behind the dunes is the beach.

in need of a new purse

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

My purse which is only a few months old needs to be replaced. The straps are about to give. When I told the husband about my predicament while wondering out loud if I put too much weight on it he just laughed at me. Well, he always called most of my purses as luggage anyway. He thinks it is funny that a petite person like me would be carrying a big bag. I told him several times I need space for everything and everything consists of my special effects plus the little man’s and sometimes, his. And he dare make fun of me? To make up for it, he let me shop for bags at the mall today but the ones on display were bigger than what I have. I would never dare use something that huge! Whatever happened to cute bags anymore? Do women really need huge bags? I went home empty handed. Aside from the fact the bags were too big, the prices were too expensive. I am not spending that much money on bags when if I look around I probably will find something that will not break me. I will keep hunting and hopefully will find a cheaper bag I will like which is not too big anymore. It gets pretty heavy to be honest but I am not admitting that to him :D

in times of need

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Just a few hours ago  we sent one of the husband’s sister a little money. They badly need it because her husband could not find work no matter where he looked. I bet it is frustrating for them since her husband is really hard working. His trade is not very in demand right now with the economy crunch so they are sitting at home spending money on bills and food with a very limited income. The husband said we will send money and I agreed to it. Why shouldn’t we? We know what they are going through. We experienced it before. We might not have much but we are still willing to help. They are our family too. I hope they will recover financially. Hopefully the economy will get better and there will be more jobs and everybody can find one so life will be easier. I am still waiting for my chance to win the lottery so I can help everybody out :)

helping out

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Since the stepson has been helping us with yard work and other things his father could not do, we thought it fair to help him clean his apartment. I was game with it since I know he is not really dependable when it comes to keeping his place clean. When he lived with us I made sure to clean up after him before things got so cluttered. His wife is not good at it either. Like a brat she runs back to mommy and daddy when the place is nasty. I don’t know how she would raise a kid (yes she is pregnant) if she can’t even clean up after her and her husband’s clutter. Hopefully we will not be here when it happens. They really have to make it on their own. If they don’t want to clean then they might have to hire somebody to do it. Anyway, since he is helping us I can’t not help him so I tidied  the place up and did the cleaning which he was grateful for. Let’s see how long it will take them to trash the place up. Sometimes I wonder how kids could even think about getting pregnant and getting married when they can’t even clean up after their own mess.

killer headache

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

When you have headache what do you normally do? Are you the type to just let it run its course without taking medicine or are you like me who can’t stand it without taking pain reliever? I am really bad when it comes to headaches. I hate it! The husband told me the trick is to drink coffee since caffeine helps relieve headache and it seems to work sometimes until my stomach starts acting up and I ended up feeling more miserable. I still have not found the best cure to headache and don’t tell me it will just go away because I can’t wait for hours for it to subside. I hope somebody will discover a quick and effective cure for it. While waiting, I will have to do what works at the time. I found out if I let the husband massage the back of my neck it lessens the pain. It would be nice if it totally gets rid of it though.
