Turning A Year Wiser

My birthday is coming up in a few weeks. Maybe that is the reason why I am suddenly very crabby. Birthdays usually make me feel so blue. Maybe if there is a great flower delivery service in Norway, like the Kansas City flower delivery service, then maybe (just maybe and some wishful thinking here) Hubby can send me flowers. That would make me happy for sure.^_^ But then again, I can be surrounded with the most wonderful people - still I'd have this feeling that something is missing. I don't know what it is. However, every year since I can remember, I always feel blue on my birthday. Maybe it is because, we turn a year older and see that we haven't accomplished as much as we would have liked.

28 is a magical age after all. Well, in my opinion anyway. By this time, you are old enough to be married and considered a mature adult. You are usually at the peak of your so called "beauty". You look good, you feel good. Usually, you already know what you want and know how exactly to get it. This time, most have already traveled and enjoyed life.

In my case, I have yet to travel. But of course, that can wait until Hubby and I fulfill our goals. They are really simple goals actually. We want to own a beautiful house of our own. We want the kids to grow up intelligent, responsible and loving. We want a 3rd child - a girl this time. We want to be together. That's basically the main goal. He had been working for Norway for almost 3 years now and at first it was fine, but now, it has been unacceptable. If that means we all have to move to Norway, so be it. I have so many wishes in my head but I guess, it's pretty clear what I really, really want.

This year, as I blow my candle and make a wish - I know exactly what to wish for.

Make It Stop

What a day!

I've already dealt with a brewing scandal and minor flooding - and it's only 9 in the morning. Talk about hectic.

Work is brutal. Everything is rush, rush, rush! Plus, I need to make a mad dash to the mall to enroll Joshua in Taekwondo which is scheduled to start soon. Sometimes, I really wish Hubby was here. A little help would be nice.

My head is ready to explode with the little irritants and if I were a confrontational person then I'd be picking a fight with almost everyone at home and in the office.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

Summer Activities

No doubt about it, the heat is creeping up slowly ~ it's Summer! Yey!

The kids are getting bored here at home and I was thinking of enrolling them in summer activities. Since Jacob is very active already and he can follow simple instructions, I was thinking of getting him started with Gymboree. Joshua on the other hand can take up Taekwondo for summer. It seems promising enough. I hope he enjoys it. ;) He would have preferred Soccer but he's too young (or maybe I haven't found the perfect place to enroll him in).

When I was young, our summer activity was going around the neighborhood with our friends. We would climb trees, play street games and even visit the nearby river (our subdivision was near a City river). I've got fond memories growing up even if we did move lots of times, I've managed to make friends and even keep in contact with a few of them.

Speaking of summer activity, I just have to say, the new newgy table tennis table robo-pong is such a clever idea! I've always wanted to take up this sport ever since I've tried it back in college. Well, this and Badminton. It's summer and the perfect time to start a new hobby! ^_^

Drink Moderately.

I am enjoying the iPhone's app ~Istagram so much ^_^ You can edit your pics to many different post editing finishes. Now, I am inspired to snap up more and more variety of pics. Like this picture of some guy sleeping on the street!!! I took it yesterday after we went to Church. I wanted to go down the car and help him, I am literally scared for his life. Some driver might not see him and get him killed! ;( To think, when a driver hits someone, even if it's the pedestrian fault, you are blamed for it. You pay for everything not to mention the trauma it causes. That's why it is important to look into high risk auto insurance especially to those drivers, like me who get into scrapes and bumps every so often. I'm not saying a bad driver, no - I am just not THAT good ^__^ But of course, no matter how safe we drive, there are other drivers out there who are not that responsible. They are on the phone while driving, they drink before getting behind the wheel and so on. Did you know that in the US alone, somebody gets killed in an alcohol-related traffic accident every 45 minutes on average! That's 32 lives a day. Scary thought right? So better drive safe, get insurance and drink moderately.

Something For Everyone.

Many of my friends know I am so dependent on the internet. I am on it almost everyday, all my waking hours (if there's no connection problems). So, when a friend on a medical field asked me where to buy cheap scrubs, I happen to know what to tell her. I have stumbled upon a site where they sell scrubs, for women, for men, some accessories, uniform and everything else needed by someone in the medical field.

There is something for everyone in Blue Sky Scrubs. I even saw cute scrub pants that maybe I can use here at home. It's comfy and light, why not? I love the Pink Sorbet! It's in a yummy color. Who wants to change into something else?

There are nursing uniform's too which is perfect for nurses, doctors and any medical practitioner. Gone are the days where people in the medical field are stuck with the boring colored scrubs. It's a great thing to have, choices which something that was lacking before. My friend, who is a nurse was happy to have this information and I'm glad I've helped.

My Lenten Offering

A good friend of mine, as her lenten offering, promised to stay away from Facebook for 40 days. I can't imagine doing that. Maybe because I feel so closed off from the world 24/7 since I work at home - social networks like Facebook and IM's are my only link to the outside world. Plus, Facebook is really fun. You can reconnect with old friends, you can share pictures and even shop online! Amazing. Because of Facebook, I have found some great Easter gift ideas for kids as early as now. I personally love there all in one personalized easter baskets! You can also give your kids some trinkets and accessories.

So anyway, as my lenten offering, I will promise to abstain from meat and even lessen my food intake by fasting. This is something I know is worthwhile because I love to eat. Taking that away from me would mean I've really tried to sacrifice something. So, what's your Lenten offering?
