Google is 10

Have you 'googled' lately? It's now ten years since Google started and I can say that I've been using it that long too. I've tried other search engines before like AOL Web Crawler, Alta Vista and Yahoo but I never liked it. When Google came along, I tried it and have been using it ever since. I like the simplicity of the main page, it's not cluttered like other search sites. I've been using it everyday.I use it for online shopping, research, travel and many other things. I have to admit that I also googled my former bfs. :D

Hanna Lost Her Umph

I'm glad Hanna didn't pack a punch when it passed through our area last night. There were a lot of boat owners anxiously waiting by the harbor to see if their boats are in danger. I'm sure they and all homeowners are relieved. We got lucky unlike some people down south. There's another one coming towards Florida, hurricane Ike. I hope the people down south don't get pummeled by these storms, especially those in New Orleans. They've suffered enough. There aren't a lot of leaves on the lawn, just a few scattered here and there. I remember there was a storm which broke some tree branches around the property. I hope my soon-to-be-ripe tomatoes made it through.

Getting Ready For Hanna

Hanna is expected to hit the southcoast overnight. I hope it's not as strong as they expected it to be so there wouldn't be any damage to people's properties and loss of life. It's good that it is the weekend, I don't have to deal with driving through heavy rains to get the kids to school. Some drivers are crazy, speeding and tail-gating even if the roadways are wet. Obviously they're morons.

Plan to Move?

I remember when my husband broke the news, he accepted a job offer in the East coast. I was surprised even though I knew that he interviewed for it. It didn't really dawned on me that it could happen and it did. Our last month in California was a blur, there were a lot of things to take care of. I had to turn in my resignation letter, say goodbye to friends and relatives, sell the house and find interstate moving companies and car movers for our vehicles. Choosing moving companies is very important. You want a company that is reliable and who has reliable and honest workers. Relocation.com is a website where you can find help in all aspects of moving.

It Has Been a Long Day

TGIF! Daughter started her gymnastics class tonite and what is only an hour seemed like two. Son wanted to go home after five minutes so I had to answer all his questions as to why we cannot leave. He's good though, he is not like some kids who throws tantrums if they don't get what they want. We could've taken the early class but daughter's friend is on this time slot. Her mom, who is also my friend works till 5pm so the earlier class wouldn't work for them. Daughter and M signed up together and each will go only if the other is there. We'll see if they would want to continue gymnastics after two months. If they will, I'm certainly not looking forward to winter driving at night! I'm just glad that I have a 4WD!

You can get Gigantic "See-Thru" Obama Stickers that is the perfect way to show everyone who you want to be president. These signs can be plastered on your car or truck window without blocking the view because these are made with "one way vision" see-through material.

Ladies, Are You Ready for Some Football?

Uh, do we have a choice? Football season starts this Sunday and I'll bet my Dell XPS notebook that dh will be in his favorite seat and watching the first kickoff on his plasma tv. So what does football season mean to our household? It means that we schedule stuff around the Patriots' game schedule. No parties, shopping, errands for him on Sunday afternoon/evening. If ever he doesn't have a choice (because I said so LOL), then he'll listen to the game in the car. He's all ready for the season. He has chosen his players in the NFL fantasy game and he has some time scheduled to watch the game at his childhood friend's house. So what do I do when football is on? I'll sometimes watch it with him if my favorite teams are playing. If not, then I'll be up and about around the house, either baking, cooking or blogging.
