excuses, excuses

Posted on March 23rd, 2009

I missed gym for two whole weeks. I have so many excuses up my sleeve I thought I’d put them to good use :lol: .

One morning, I woke up and it was raining so I said to myself, okay, not going today, it’s raining and I don’t want to get stuck in traffic.

A few other mornings, I slept in because the weather was cool and the kids and I had been having late nights since it was the school break.

Another morning, a girl friend invited me to breakfast and of course, how could I say no?

What’s your excuse for not working out?

no books for us

Posted on March 15th, 2009

I took the girls to a book sale. There hasn’t been many lately and the girls are re-reading their old books over and over, the poor things. Unfortunately the books weren’t cheap. I guess times are bad so they’re trying to cut losses by not giving such heavy discounts.

But see, what’s the point of going to a sale if the price is not much better than when it’s not on sale? Book sales are stuffy, crowded and we have to practically elbow our way through and then wait endlessly in line to check out. It’s definitely not worth it if the discounts are low.

sounds of remodeling

Posted on March 7th, 2009

My new neighbor is remodeling his house. Can you imagine the hammering and drilling starting from as early as 9am on a weekend? The din is deafening and it goes on the entire day till around 6pm.

Friday nights, the kids are allowed to go to bed late. This morning, we were hoping to sleep in a little since it’s the weekend. But guess what? At the stroke of 9, we were all got rudely awakened to the sounds of walls being drilled into and torn down. Ugh!

sleepless

Posted on March 6th, 2009

I hardly slept a wink last night. Yep, it was one of those nights and now I’m completely zombified.

I woke up sneezing because the air-conditioning was too cold. After a series of a-choo’s, I was wide awake and my mind started drifting, from my high school days to what I’m going to cook for lunch this weekend, and it wouldn’t stop.

Physically I was tired but I just couldn’t get my brain to say goodnight. I think I finally fell asleep at 5am and was up at 6 to get the kids off to school. Duh!

investing in precious metals

Posted on March 5th, 2009

I hate waiting at the bank so when I do have to go, I look around for ways to entertain myself. So you’ll find me watching people, scrutinizing banking flyers, talking to the person sitting next to me or when all else fails, listening in to questions that people ask the information officer if I happen to be sitting near enough.

Many of the questions these days seem to be centered around investing in precious metals. After listening in to a few queries, I have a vague idea what it’s about.

But there’s always more information available online at Monex Deposit Company and if you’re really serious about investing in precious metals, you can always talk to their consultants.

at the last drop

Posted on March 4th, 2009

I can’t believe the sales are starting again. So soon? Man, times must really be bad. I’ve just realized we’re running out of certain toiletries so it’s time to stock up.

To be honest, I used to be a big-time bulk shopper but I’m not stocking up as much as before. I’d rather wait and see now because retailers are constantly cutting prices to be more competitive. So I won’t buy till I’m almost at the last drop so I’ll probably end up saving more money.
