Sweet Memory in the Outer Banks

One of the places that we love to visit is North Carolina. We have lots of friends there and every time we visit them, we get together and stay in one of the Outer Banks rental homes. We love the beach and its good to just sit back and relax and enjoy a slow-paced life once in a while. I leave the stress of motherhood behind and just savor the sweet memory of the beach with my family and close friends.

Pesky Woodpecker

Last Saturday, I heard a pounding sound just outside the garage. I thought that maybe our neighbor has some work being done in her yard and the sound was just reverberating in my area. I ignored it for a while, but when I took a garbage bag out to the garage, the sound was there again. So I opened the garage door to check, but I didn't see anything going on outside, so I just went back inside and closed the garage door. At lunch time we decided to go out to eat, and this time hb heard the sound and went to the backyard to investigate. And there he saw a woodpecker flew away and left a big hole on the side of the garage. I wonder what this bird liked about the wood that it chose to drill hole on it instead of the numerous choices of trees around. The bird started with that bottom hole in the picture and its diameter is about 2 to 3 inches. And when I looked again today there were two new holes on top of it. How do we drive them away from our wood is the big question. Does anybody know how to deal with these pesky woodpecker?

Be Practical, Buy ZenniOptical Eyeglasses

I'm sure you must have heard by now how stylish prescription glasses from ZenniOptical only cost from as low as $8. Unbelievable but true. How do they do this you might ask? Well because ZenniOptical cut the participation of middlemen, and they manufacture their own frames and sell directly to their customers so then they can afford to sell them for much less. They practically do away with advertising expenses so nothing is being passed on to the customers anymore. Because of these amazing deals, ZenniOptical eyeglasses have been featured on Fox News TV and recommended by The Clark Howard Show. ZenniOptical has a wide selection of stylish and quality frames with single vision lens, sunsensor (potochromic) lens, tinted sunglasses lens, bifocal lens and progressive lens. Every year, I spend at least $135 for a pair of plain prescription glasses without any add-on features and it can go up to as much as $285 depending on the features I want. With ZenniOptical I can afford to even have spare eyeglasses and pocket away some more savings. And ZenniOptical has added more new frames to their already wide inventory of stylish and qaulity eyeglasses. You can purchase as many pairs as you want and you only have to pay $4.95 flat shipping charges. It is a very practical choice to purchase eyeglasses from ZenniOptical especially at this hard economic times, when people are struggling to juggle their hard earned money to provide for their basic needs and their health necessities.

Away From My Computer

I didn't realize it would take so much time to pack up two big balikbayan boxes. I thought I would be done before my son wakes up from his nap. But unfortunately, I only finished one and still have to work on the other one. I was away for most time from my computer so now I have to cram to finish all my expiring assignments and return EC drops. Anyway, I'm glad to get things rolling and I hope to get all things done tomorrow.

Trying To Lose Weight

After church last night we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. My husband was craving to eat ribs barbeque while I was not in the mood to pig out. Restaurants here most often have pretty big servings. I just ordered an appetizer as my main dish, so I can cut out on my intake. I've been trying helplessly to lose weight these days but my husband who surprisingly has maintained his ideal weight is always talking me into eating out all the time. I feel heavy and bloated and I don't feel good at this state. I'm considering to try a weight loss product that my friend reccommended. She had a really good result losing several pounds easily with minimal side effects.

What's Happening to Blogger?

Have you noticed how Blogger blogs have been behaving since last night? Very weird. I'm not talking about the free blogspot accounts but the custom domain ones, well surprisingly with the exception of this blog. I always get errors like "page not found" when I tried to open A Moment to Exhale and Scrappy Mommy, but when I asked my friend Carlota to try opening them for me, she did it without a problem. But my bff Barb couldn't open mine as well, and so was I with hers, how weird. Anyway to make the matter worse, the PR3 I earned in A Moment to Exhale domain disappered and went to my old blogspot url! Then if I check the PR of my other blogs in mypagerank.net it gave me PR0 while Google said they were PR2. So which is which? Haay what's happening to Blogger? Now I haven't done EC dropping yet because of this problem.

Should I Go With A Short Bob Cut

I want to get a new haircut, I don't want the style I'm wearing right now. But everytime I'm already decided to make an appointment, my hair suddenly behaves well so I will change my mind and put off my trip to the salon some other time. And the moment I became comfortable with my hair again then it will start to have a mind of its own and misbehave again. Anyway, I've been thinking of going with the short bob like Katie Holmes'. I wonder if the style will fit me now. I used to be very adventuruous and daring with my hairstyle, but that was back in the days. I had the very short crop hairstyle, the freezy perm, the one-length, the long shaggy, the short shaggy, the long bob, the undercut, you name it I've tried it. But the thing here in US, its very rare that you see a hairstylist that will really do what you like for your hair. 99% of the time, I never liked my haircut done in a US salon, but the Vietnamese salon that I normally go to does a pretty good job, but quite far. Filipino hairstylists will certainly make good money here, because they are very creative and really have the skills to cut hair and more. Anyway, I want a wash and wear hairstyle because I don't have time to blowdry anymore.
