Secretive Friend

Guest post from: Natalie Walter

One of my friends at work is very secretive and I find it so strange. We are friendly at work and sometimes go to lunch together, but she will under no circumstances talk about her personal life. She will only discuss work related issues, and it gets really boring. It’s not even like any of us pry and try to find out information that is very personal. Even when we are all having a simple conversation about random stuff like how many direct tv channels we each have or where we went to college she shies away and won’t participate. I guess she must have had a bad experience at a previous job. I understand not wanting people at work to know too much about your personal life but she is taking that to the extreme. I think it is just making people think she must have some freaky secret hidden away. Maybe she is just shy. Sometimes I mistake shyness for unfriendliness. I guess I have to realize that not everyone wants their life to be an open book.

Busy Like Crazy

I am so happy that my little one is sleeping right now because I can do some work online. I have been so busy like crazy so I do not really have time do all my work especially that I watch kids at day time and later in the afternoon I have to go to work.

I really need to budget my time so that all the chores will be done in time. I need to buy some calendar organizer so that I write down what need to be done in the day.
Anyway, I hope you all having a good night and thanks for the visit. Bye for now! Thanks for the visit by the way!

Girls Birthday

I know I will be busy preparing my girls birthday celebration. Their birthday will be on week days but I am going to do it on the weekend so that some of my friend can come to attend the birthday party.

I cannot believe that there growing so fast and it means I am getting older. I am going to enjoy them while they are little because when they grow up it will going to be a big change for sure. I cannot wait the day that I am going to become a grandma just kidding I hope it will not be too soon because I want my kids to stay little.

You all have a good one!

Stay At Home

I appreciate the guest post, Rodrigo Coffey

Being a stay at home mom means I spend a lot of time watching TV but it’s not the kind of stuff you’d expect. My friends are really into Oprah reruns and talk shows and things like that and you wouldn’t believe it but I’ve gotten really, really into football. I watch all kinds of highlight shows and SportCenter (because we got all these new channels from http://www.direc4u.com/az/t/tempe/) and now I’ve even joined up with a fantasy league online and they don’t know that I’m a woman. I love being in the know about sports and I’ve always been highly competitive so it’s no surprise to me that I’m into this now. I think my husband would think it’s totally weird, though, so I haven’t told him I’m watching all these sports in case he wants to cancel the TV channels because he thinks I’m ignoring the kids. Of course I’m not ignoring the kids, they always have my undivided attention, well, at least unless the Bears or someone good is playing.

Teaching

I am just so tired I do not have the patience teaching my big girl. I should not act like that but I cannot help it I need rest. Pretty much I am wore out working all day long chores. I know that she needs my help but I need rest too, in order to have the energy tomorrow.

I am just going to make it up to her tomorrow. For now I need plenty of rest because I barely have sleep since my little one is not feeling so well. Anyway, bye for now and have a safe new year!

Christmas

I really did not enjoy the Christmas because all I have to do for few weeks are clean and clean it just like never ending cleaning. Oh well, I guess next time I am not going to host the party because everytime I have a party I have a lot of work.

It is ok I guess if my kids are big enough and they can take care of themselves. Anyway, the most important my girls have a blast and it does not matter how I fell. I just need to relax and everything will be ok. You all guys have the fun and thanks for the visit.

Some cute last-minute Halloween party decorations

Guest post written by Brandi Wyatt

I'm throwing a Halloween party at the very last minute for my family and some of our close friends. I thought that it would be fun, plus none of my kids were invited to a Halloween party this year because none of their friends were having them. Maybe it's because people have been tighter with their wallets lately. So I'm going to try and whip together a party at the last minute on a tight budget.

I looked online to see if I could find some ideas about what I could do for some cheap and fast decorations without looking like I threw them together at the last minute. I found lots of ideas on crafts blogs online with my Clearwire WiMAX that I just couldn't wait to use for the party.

First off, I knew that I needed to put something in our yard that would tell people they were at the right house. I also came up with some really cool decorations to hang up in our dining room, where we're going to be directing people for the party. I think that it's going to be great even though it's so last-minute.

Having our Broadway moment with Daniel Radcliffe

Guest post written by Sue Thurmond

It takes more than a little bit of dancing to entertain me. I guess that I'm somewhat picky about stuff like that, but I also love a really good play. I was glad that we were able to go on another New York trip this summer and as soon as I decided that we were doing that, I started looking up plays to go to.

I did a lot of research online about not only which plays are really good, but also which ones you can normally get discounted tickets for. While I was doing some of that research one day, I ran across teh site http://hearingaids.miracle-ear.com/hearing-locations/wisconsin/m/milwaukee/. After I read through ti a little bit, I decided to sign my husband up for some hearing aid tests. I've been telling him to take some for a while now and he finally agreed to it. It ends up that he needed some and got them before we went on our trip.

We got some great tickets, at a great price, for the Daniel Radcliffe play How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. It was so entertaining to see him do all that great dancing and doing something besides Harry Potter. I think that his career is going to do fine even though that franchise has ended.

Cruise!

Thanks to Erasmo Cortez

Vacation! I can’t wait for the next three weeks to be over because when they are I get to leave on my cruise…yeah! I’ve yet to go on a cruise and I love the water so I think this Caribbean 7-day is the perfect choice for my boyfriend and I. There are tons of activities planned on the boat and we both intend on doing several day trips so it should be a totally restful and fun week of vacation.

Our house is all ready for us to go, I think, and I just found out that HOMESECURITY101.com/ has some good alarm specials, so I may look into that since crime in our neighborhood has been on the rise these last few months. I can’t wait to get on the road but I have to make sure everything’s wrapped up at work first or I’ll be in a world of trouble when I get back! Is anyone else’s boss like that out there? He’s the whole reason I need this darn vacation so badly!
