Having to move while your husband is deployed with the military is horrible – I wouldn’t wish it on anybody. To add insult to injury I’m also pregnant so it’s been a tough road these last few months. We were actually living in Japan (he’s in the Navy) when the earthquake hit earlier in the year so they packed us all up and sent us home so we wouldn’t be in danger of radiation ad stuff like that. It’s been really nice being back in the states and close to my family here in Texas but I really miss my husband and it’s tough having to make all the decisions for a household by yourself. I went to TEXASelectricityProviders the other day to look into good rates and I’ve been calling around for a good pest control company but as a whole it’s just really hard having to worry about taking care of a house and my pregnant body. I just hope Ben gets home safely and soon before we welcome this little girl!

Since I am Italian I love every show that is on television that is about Italian people, and especially Italian women. There are many different Real Housewives seasons on the Bravo channel, where they follow around a handful of housewives from different cities around the United States. Although I love almost all of the different casts, my favorite show is the New Jersey crew. These ladies are so funny to watch, but at the same time they are down to earth family women. They are very caring, and they will do anything to protect their families. These women aren't rail thin with fake blond hair, and they aren't the stereotypical divas that you are used to seeing on this show. I also LOVE to watch the other girls pick on Danielle, since she is so manipulative. I think she has become one of reality televisions favorite villains. Theresa is my ultimate favorite on this show, since she has the most adorable kids I have ever seen, and she does all of her housework herself. She has no maids, cooks, or nanny's, she is an old school Italian. I have the first couple seasons saved on my www.bestchoicetv.com and I can't wait for season 3!

OUCHY!  That's what I said after the dentist took out one of my right molars this morning.  We walked-in to this dental office near our house and I never thought that I would be one-molar-less after.  Tsk, tsk, tsk.  I had this toothache that wouldn't go away for weeks.  Well, I had this going on and off for months and I just ignored it.  Until last week, the ache kept nagging at me.  So, we finally took care of it today.

The dentist found out that I have this infection (tooth abcess) going on on that particular molar and there is no other option but to extract it.  I was like: "REALLY? As in NOW?"  Wow, that was actually my first time experience to have a tooth extracted.  The whole process was actually quicker and easier than I had expected it to be.  There was no pain, thanks to the anaesthesia!  Well, the numbing shots were a bit uncomfortable but the rest was a breeze.  If only I can't hear what had went on.  The squeaky and snappy sounds of pushing and pulling the tooth was so uncomfortable that my thoughts had gone haywire.  I just couldn't ignore them that it made me more nervous.  Sheesh!  All I did was pray that everything will go well and that it will be over soon.  Thanks to God for He listened to my utmost prayer; and that everything is going well so far.  To God Be The Glory!  Have a good one all!

I love spring time because it means the beginning of better weather. For me that also means that I'm able to start riding my bike a lot again. I've only had a motorcycle for a few years now, but I've clocked a lot of miles on the road since then. It's my main hobby and I plan on riding my bike a whole lot more pretty soon. It's about that time again.

I went online a few nights ago to get some ideas about where to go on my upcoming trip and while I was doing that I came across some good information about WildBlueDeals. I had never heard of them before, but I got a little more information and signed up for one of them for my home internet service.

Once I figured out that I was going to go to the mountains for my upcoming trip, I looked up some riding safety tips on riding on mountain roads. Most of my experience is with flat and straight roads. But I'm going to be extra careful on these mountain roads.

I was just talking on the phone with my friend who is now happily living in Australia with her family. She has been there for almost ten years now, imagine that! We have been friends since college days and we just can't help but feel awe with our life right now. Who would have thought that the girls from the small province of Surigao del Sur in the Philippines are now living in Australia (my friend), and in the United States (me). We really never know where life may take us, right?

So, I ask her, how life is treating her these days. She just said that she is busy with being a mother of active two kids, the wife of a loving husband and with her work. In fact, she is also busy with their finances like health insurance, car insurance, etc. since she is in charge with them, as she recounted in our conversation last night. We talked a little bit longer about car insurance quotes as we were comparing details as to which is more expensive.  Is it Australia or the US?  In fact, we were laughing about it coz we really never thought that we would be driving cars much more talk about car insurance.

I am really happy for her that she is living her dream life; and that's what she said back at me. I really can't wait to be reunited with her because she really is a great lady. I hope we can visit her in Australia; or she and her family can visit us here in the United States sometime in the future, with God's blessings. Have a good one all!

"God is our refuge and our strength,

an ever-present help in distress.

Thus we do not fear,

though earth be shaken and mountains quake

to the depths of the sea,

though its waters rage and foam

and mountains totter at its surging.

The Lord of hosts is with us;

our stronghold is the God of Jacob."

PSALM 46: 2-4

I thought I just want to share the verses with you guys.   I truly find the said verses an amazing comfort for me and I know for you as well, especially after the massive and devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake and 23-foot tsunami that happened in Japan hours ago.  Let's keep Japan and all the other countries under Tsunami alert in our thoughts and prayers, please.  I pray that everyone especially my family in the Philippines is safe.

The only prayer I can utter on my special day is "THANK YOU!" I believe that would suffice. Have a good one all. To God Be The Glory!

We are thinking of going out to a special dinner tonight but we will see since it is supposed to be cold tonight.  Actually, it really doesn't matter as long as I am with the two most important people in my life, everything will be perfect.  Have a lovely day everyone!

One of the things my mother in law does for her living is working for medical billing services.  She has done that for some time and the business has changed over the years.  It has been something she has really enjoyed and is very good at.  I was wondering if she would share the secrets of the business because I might be interested in trying it as a business from home.

There are medical billing companies out there that are looking for people to fill these positions.  With the job market being as it is, I’m really thinking this is a great idea.  With some luck and the right training I am sure I can be on my way to medical billing in no time.  Have a good one all!

I have been thinking about getting into the online business market.  It seems that there are many people taking advantage of the internet, why not try it myself, too?  I started looking online and it seems that most successful businesses online are Wholesale Products.  The big question is what will I decide to sell?  Where will I find Wholesale Suppliers?

I will have to think of a product that is popular right now.  Maybe I can sell purses because I know that I really like them and so do my friends right now.  It would be cool if I could find Wholesalers that would allow me to start stocking some of their products on loan because it is hard to get started; and the purses I would like to sell are expensive.  Maybe I should possibly target a bigger market that is still a designer name and interest more people that way.

Whatever I can find to do in my new business I’m sure it will be excited for me to get started.  I know a lot of businesses fail when starting up and I’m hoping that I will be a success story.  It would be great to have an easier life while enjoying the excitement of a new business.
