In Seventh Heaven

Archive for November, 2011

I think my son’s going to follow in my hubby’s footsteps. My husband loves to play the guitar and whenever he plays it, my 8-year-old son attentively listens and when my husband is done, he will play with the guitar too pretending he knows what he’s doing.

I told the husband that maybe he could introduce him to easy songs for guitar so his enthusiasm about learning how to play the guitar can be developed. That would be really sweet. Both my boys will be playing guitar songs to me.

I’ve been hearing about Cyber Monday deals even before I got here in the land of Uncle Sam, but I never got to enjoy it last year. Perhaps this year because that is certainly one of the best times to shop for great deals.

And knowing that we will shop for new Christmas decors this year including a new Christmas tree, I know for certain, it will be the best time for us to shop. I already told the husband about it and as always, he’s in for the idea. He knows how wise I am when it comes to shopping so, no second thoughts for him.

Christmas is my favorite time of the year and I certainly can’t wait for Cyber Monday to do our Christmas décor shopping! Wheee!!!

The husband hopes so, but I guess not because as I am sitting here in front of the computer, I can see through the window all the leaves that are falling from the trees. The wind is kind of blowing and the trees in our yard are not totally bald yet. So, that being said, the blowing of leaves yesterday will not be the last for the husband. The husband does all the yard work and he prefers it to be that way because he knows for certain it will not be easy for me. He decided that it’s his ‘job’ and mine would be inside the house.

I would love to help him because looking at him riding the mower seemed fun. But it would be dangerous for me because our yard is kind of hilly. The husband knows best since he’s been living here all his life and has been mowing this yard for years.

I am a good girl and besides, I trust him more than anybody else so, I agreed!

I am not into make-up and stuff. Loose powder plus lipstick and lip gloss are my beauty regimen whenever I go out whether to parties or simply to shop. But not my sister. That is one thing that we don’t have in common because she can’t leave the house without doing her beauty rituals. But I can’t blame her. She works in a bank and they’ve been trained to put on make-up to be presentable.

One thing that amuses me whenever she beautifies herself is when she curls her eyelashes. I tried it once, but my eyes watered. I haven’t messed with it since then. My eyelashes are also short so it was hard to curl them. Maybe I should grow them first using eyelash growth products before curling, huh? I must admit, curled eyelashes really adds beauty. Maybe I just need to practice. I know I’ll get used to it in time. Not to forget, practice makes perfect.

If there is one thing that has been bothering me lately, it is my gums. They bleed from time to time, especially when I eat or while brushing my teeth. I know it indicates unhealthy gums and I need to see a dentist for it, but we still don’t have the insurance so it has to take a back seat. Well, it’s not a matter of life and death anyway, so it can wait.

But having this dilemma makes me wish I knew what was the solution to it. I wish I have one of those Dental Hygienist Jobs so I’d know the cure and do it myself. But I don’t so I can’t do anything but deal with it. No biggy!

I bought our Halloween costumes early last month. After we all put it up, I got rid of the bags with its photos and names on it. I didn’t think there will be any use of the bags until a week after that when we forgot the name of the husband’s costume. I did remember mine and my son’s, but I totally forgot about his. The husband forgot it too because he didn’t make a big fuss out of it and I was the one who ordered it so, he was thinking that I know what I got for him. Teehee.

Until yesterday, Halloween. His daughter’s boyfriend immediately recognized what costume he got and it was ‘Jonah Hex’. I remembered it then. But really, I didn’t know who Jonah Hex is. I googled it today and found out that his character was made into a movie. I am not sure if the movie has been shown, but his daughter’s boyfriend did tell us about who he is and stuff.

Anyway, the husband did scare some kids so, that was a great choice for a costume. Yeah!
