I already have in mind what to give for my DD. You might wondering why my daughter not my DH. Hubby and I Valentine’s Day is just normal day for us, we usually just have a nice dinner at home, no gifts to each other ONLY to our DD. Isn’t it something? One day hubby came home with heart balloon and a big teddy bear I thought it was for me but surprisingly it wasn’t, it was for our DD. From then on we only give Valentine’s gift to our darling daughter. <br />
<br />
Anyways, if you are doing special with your love one this Valentine’s Day perhaps surprises her/him for a nice getaway, warmer places like Dallas Texas. I’m sure right now cheap <a href="http://www.choicehotels.com/dallas-texas-hotels">Dallas Texas hotels</a> is easy to find.Carlotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07855476826999097693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17867473.post-81239167536004519012009-02-11T00:35:00.008-05:002009-02-11T00:47:13.200-05:00Help from discount kitchen sinksIt would be nice to re-do our kitchen. Maybe just to make it a little bit bigger so there's more room. When hubby cooks he always take the entire space of the kitchen and leaving me waiting for him when he gets done at least using the sinks. We have the double sinks but it is not enough for both us working at the same time. It really annoys that I have to wait. We did talk about it, however weren’t not sure because of our thinking of moving. But I told him maybe replace a bigger sink; there's many <a href="http://www.kitchensinkoutlet.com">discount kitchen sinks</a> that will help our budget. We’ll take this into consideration for sure just to help the agony of working together in the kitchen. <br />

I talked to her already if she’s going but she’s unsure because of her school academic. It is more important, however, we’ll be disappointed; according to her teacher she’s one of the best in the class no one even try to challenge to take the 1st chair away from her. <br />
<br />
In any rate, to be honest I was hoping she’ll go because I’ll be the chaperon. And I know how fun to roam around throughout New York City. Well, it’s her decision and we’ll support her.

In a way I’m kind of excited, however, Julie will be the problem because she won’t move out in this state. I know one of her reason is her friends; so, we might let her finish high-school and off we go! <br />
<br />
You know, our place in Camotes Island, Philippines would be perfect for me, our shoreline property just beautiful. The only problem hubby and Julie will not move there. They have their reasons and I certainly understands their concerned. But then again, I keep thinking of the beautiful shoreline property. I’ve heard Wilmington, North Carolina has plenty those beautiful shoreline property; I should check out <a href="http://www.seacoastrealty.com">Wilmington NC real estate</a> who knows I might find a property just like what we have in Camotes Island.Carlotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07855476826999097693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17867473.post-58538560052525826382009-01-30T11:54:00.013-05:002009-01-30T11:58:19.000-05:00She wants a new TV?...my answer is NO!<br />
<br />
Couple days ago when J and I were in the store she saw the <a href="http://www.buy.com/cat/hdtv-lcd-plasma-dlp-tv/63099.html">tv</a> she always wanted. And she wants me to buy it for her right then, I just laugh at her! She didn’t mind me laughing at her because she knows better. I gave her an option last year new TV or electric guitar; she chooses the electric guitar so end of story.<br />

Well, as I said I gained so much weight over the year and needed to lose at least 30 pounds. None of my jeans/pants fits and I promise myself not to buy any new pants. With what I’m feeling right now guarantee more pounds will be added. Fat burners what I need right now and <a href="http://fatburner.net/fat-burners/decaslim/">Decaslim</a> might be the answer. What I’ve read this is the kind of weight loss supplement takes a safe and natural draw near to help you lose weight. One of the ingredients of decaslim is green tea and I heard a lot that green tea is an unbelievably effective diet pill ingredient.Carlotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07855476826999097693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17867473.post-75167033678221104952009-01-26T07:55:00.001-05:002009-01-26T08:09:17.360-05:00Cut onion without cryingI always in tears while cutting an onion and feel like a baby.

Here's some Steps to Chop Onions Without Tears<br />
<b><br />
Use a Sharp Knife</b><br />
1. Use a very sharp knife when cutting onions. The enzymes are released when cells are broken or crushed; using a sharp knife slices through the onion rather than crushing and thus, fewer enzymes are released.<br />
<br />
<b>Chill the Onions</b><br />
1. Chill your onions in the freezer before cutting them. This reduces the amount of the acid enzyme released into the air. This was found to be the most effective way to reduce tears by the television program Food Detectives.[1]<br />
<span id="fullpost"><br />
<b>Don't get the gas in your eyes</b><br />
1. Wear gas-tight goggles or a mask;<br />
2. Cut the onion next to a strong draft from a fume hood or fan so that the gas is pulled away from your eyes; or<br />
3. Wear contact lenses (easy enough if you wear them anyway) - they create a barrier between the surface of your eyes and the gas.<br />
<br />
<b>Absorb the gas in water</b><br />
1. Cut the onion under water<br />
2. Cut the onion near running water or a cloud of steam (from a kettle or pan of water)<br />
3. Breathe through your mouth (to draw the gas over your wet tongue) or stick your tongue out.<br />
<br />
<b>Slow or stop the reaction that makes the gas</b><br />
1. Put vinegar on the chopping board (the acid denatures the enzyme);<br />
2. Soak the onion in water (the enzyme is denatured by the water-air boundary); or<br />
3. Soak the onion in salt water (the ionic solution denatures the enzyme).<br />
<br />
<b>The Candle Method</b><br />
1. Light a candle and set it near the cutting board before cutting the onion. The gas released by the onion is drawn into the flame of a candle.<br />
<br />
<b>Onions are Tubular</b><br />
<br />
1. Because onion "flesh" is tubular in construction - like thousands of tiny tubes side by side, pointing toward the top and bottom of the onion - pointing the tubes away from you while cutting will keep the onion from spraying in your eyes. Of course, a breeze of any kind can send the fine, misty spray toward your eyes, so pay attention to air currents too.<br />
<br />
<b>Chewing</b><br />
1. Chew bread or gum. Many people report that chewing, especially gum, helps avoid tears when cutting onions.<br />
<br />
<b>Cut carefully to avoid releasing the enzyme (watch video above)</b><br />
There are many ways to do this, but the important thing is to avoid cutting the root until you really need to, as this is where the highest concentration of enzymes is located.<br />

Their sentence was a few years in the desert. He said that they could each take one thing with them.<br />
<br />
The first guy decides to take an umbrella, so that he can have shade whenever he wants.<br />
<br />
The second guy decides to take a water bottle so that he won't get thirsty.<br />
<br />
Finally, the third guy decides to take a car door.<br />
<br />
The judge asked, "Why in the world would you want to take a car door?" The man replies, "Just in case it gets hot, I can roll down the window."Carlotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07855476826999097693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17867473.post-51757370608909141542009-01-22T14:51:00.000-05:002009-01-22T14:52:46.547-05:00weight loss pills for usI just talked to a dear friend whom I admire the most. We talked a lot and one of our conversations was our weight. We’re in the same boat wanted to lose weight. I myself I’ve gained almost 30 pounds within 5 months; my hard work long time ago was just a waste. Before I lost 28 pounds in 4 weeks and I’m sure I can do it again but my problem I’m too lazy to stick with my plan. We were laughing because indeed we’re both lazy!

You know we don’t know what’s going to happen every day and having a life insurance is always great to protect our loved ones. <br />
<br />
I know there are many different types of life insurance and choosing the right one can be difficult. However, as far as I understand the most simple and inexpensive type of life insurance is the term life insurance. And happy to know I found the most affordable <a href="http://www.wholesaleinsurance.net/">term life insurance rates at Wholesale Insurance</a>.Carlotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07855476826999097693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17867473.post-85346537603261463392009-01-07T00:09:00.000-05:002009-01-07T00:10:03.310-05:00Small business opportunitiesNow that I lost my job, I am trying to find a new one. There aren’t a lot of job opportunities in Michigan for me since the auto industry is doing pretty badly at the moment. I've been thinking just to open my own little shop, a friend was telling me about this <a href="http://www.smallbusinesssale.com/">small business opportunities</a> I might be interested. It's nice for a little change, and I want to try to have a small business, even though I really don't know anything about opening a business... I could learn very quickly, but this is a very slight chance that this shop that I could open would do any good with this bad economy.Carlotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07855476826999097693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17867473.post-83167183826038877242008-12-31T16:26:00.000-05:002008-12-31T16:27:27.940-05:00Happy New Year!<div style="text-align: center;">Wishing you all the best in 2009.

I did go to see a doctor and he gave me some shots I think twice a week to melt the cyst. It did get melted but after a year or so it came back. I think because I didn’t listen to the doctor to avoid wearing high heels. I went back to see the doctor again when I felt the lump and the heel pain each morning. Doctor told me that I had <a href="http://www.footsmart.com/C-Night-Splints-20.aspx">Plantar Fasciitis</a> which causes my morning heel pain. He gave me something like a night splints to help me free from chronic pain each morning. And to be completely free from the chronic pain I need to avoid wearing high-heels. We'll see about that.Carlotahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07855476826999097693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17867473.post-3210090311097384362008-12-19T23:16:00.002-05:002008-12-19T23:24:41.242-05:001994 40th Anniversary Fender StratocasterSomeone is going to be very happy this Christmas.

It is one of a kind thing that we found one of the little stores uptown.<br />
<br />
So, now I am going to look for one and I don’t think I can get the exact table lamp but the picture below I hope she will like it. This would look perfect in her bedroom since it’s the same color. It’s kind of little big in her bedroom but if I put on the top of her dresser it would be perfect. I’ll show you guys a picture of her bedroom later.<br />

Well, it’s the time again and before you go out snowmobiling you need to check everything and <a href="http://www.jazzmotorsports.com/">snowmobile parts</a> are always needed. I talked to a friend who own a snowmobile, she might invite me this year to go snowmobiling in their vacation home in UP, of course time permits since it’s a holiday season. Anyway, to gear up your snowmobile either to make your sled the fastest on the track, ice, or trails or just to get you running again you need to check out jazzmotorsports.com they have everything you need for your snowmobile.<br />

Yes, it is for her portable piano. I think last week, while she was recording the song she played she got mad because she ran out a space. Not my fault since I kept telling her to upload all the music she recorded already while I was still looking for compact flash that is compatible on her portable piano. Thankfully the search is over, I found one and this is going to her Christmas stockings.<br />

Because, well, picture says it all! I don’t know how many times I told myself that it’s time to get serious on losing weight. Seriously, I sure need it especially I get tired of hearing some people telling me that I gained so much weight. I know, I can’t deny it but right now I’m too busy to even think about losing weight. Plus its holiday and I don’t think I’m going to pass all the good food, no sir! <a href="http://fatburner.net/fat-burners/apidexin/">Apidexin</a> might help me with this entire unwanted extra with me.
