On Life Insurance

Some people would cringe on the thought of premature talk of death when you get life insurance, but to me it's just one of the best decisions one could ever make. Life insurance would give some form of security to beneficiaries in case of untimely deaths. There are a lot of features to consider when getting life insurance and one site I find very informative is Wholesale Insurance, you might want to check it out too.

Problem Area

So almost every morning I either have fresh fruit smoothie, fruits and cottage cheese, or oatmeal with fresh fruits for breakfast. Aside from trying to lose weight, I also try to lead a healthy life as I'm not getting any younger. It's been a struggle for me to maintain the weight that I want and I really try hard. My bone structure is actually small so I don't have problems with my limbs they're really thin, but my main problem area is my tummy. I always dream of having flat abs and its hard to achieve that goal. I'd say I need natural appetite suppressants to really control my cravings for food or I just need to visit the gym more often. Either one should work.

Retirement Luxury

One of the things that my hb and I would love to have when we retire is an RV. My hb always tease me that I also pack our 'house' when we travel because I can't travel light. I always think way ahead like if there's an emergency I'm always ready. So an RV is so perfect for us so then I can actually pack our house! Anyway, hopefully when that time comes we have saved enough to travel the places we've dreamt of seeing. We love to travel hassle-free so a 5th wheel insurance is an excellent choice to have for peace of mind when travelling.

Keeping Self Entertained

I think my aunt could make use of one of those indoor tv antennas to boost the signal to her TV. She hasn't used her tv in a while due to bad signal, so her link to local news is just through her radio. She's never used the dvd player that we gave her for Christmas either so I don't know how she entertains herself really. No wonder every time she calls me she complains about being sad and lonely. Well pretty soon she's moving to a new apartment so I'd probably convince her to buy a new flat screen tv and just donate her old one to charity. She needs some distractions to keep her mind off missing my uncle who's been dead for more than a year now.

Losing Weight

Ok for a week or so now, I've been eating really healthy and have tried really hard to forgo on my cravings for sweets. My goal is not only to fit into those cheap lingerie but also to look good at them. I still need to work hard to get my dream flat abs though, but I feel good enough that I'm losing a little bit of weight, slowly but surely. I was in heaven when I weighed today and learned that I was down by four lbs. Hopefully I can keep up and really achieve my goal.

Bonding Moments

Written by my friend Judson Kelly

My family is really big into bonding and I thought a good way to facilitate it would be more movie nights together. We all really like watching the latest and greatest flicks and so I got us http://www.cabletvadvisor.com/satellite so we’d have access to all the movie channels I’m always hearing about. I set up a system where we watch one movie together as a week, on Wednesday nights, and we alternate who gets to choose the film so no one gets all up in arms about not being able to choose. I know it sounds silly but I just love being able to cuddle my kids (and my husband!) on the couch after a long day at work and I know I’m not going to have these opportunities forever as they’re getting older all the time. I work really hard to keep my family as a single unit and I just relish any opportunity I get to be with them all at once. I’m sure I can’t be the only one out there who feels this way!

Stuck at Home

I'm stuck at home! I could have gone shopping for my son's Halloween costume but I have to stick around because some guys are coming to deliver and install our new water heater. They gave a pretty long time frame to wait for them - between 12 noon and 4pm! Of all the days that hb had to get his allergy shot, it had to be today!

This delivery is not something that one can be excited about. If it was some flower delivery from my honey bunch that would have been a different story. I'd stick around for as long as it takes, LOL. When hb and I were still dating, he used to send me bouquets of flowers with intricate arrangements you'd wish they won't ever wilt, so sweet. But now that we're married for almost a decade, I asked him not to give me anymore flowers that I would only enjoy for a day or two, but rather blooming flower arrangements in pots that I can enjoy for a long time. Yup what matters now is practicality over what's just pleasing to the eyes.
