ME Time?
I finally found a great deal on music cd duplication for my client. I can rest easy for today and just do absolutely anything I want after lunch. That is, if the girls will let me. Whenever I want to do something for myself, either one of them will need me to do something, or simply want to breastfeed, as soon as my back hits the bed. So yes, depending on my wonderful, sometimes-hard-to-handle, yet still adorable bambinas, I may have a ME time by 1PM. If only I could lock myself inside one of the rooms here and pretend I’m not around. The husband tells me to do that exactly but the problem is as soon as I hear the kids laugh (or cry), my feet have a mind of their own. I’ll find myself checking them out, wanting to join the fun or comfort whoever is crying. That’s the life of a mom. 
And the Oscar Should’ve Gone To … (A Movie Themed Christmas Party)
I’m still high from our Christmas party last Saturday night! I see most of these guys monthly but not so much the others who live in the province. To say that it was a great night will be an understatement. We decided to have movies as our theme which was a good call since everyone got so excited to come as their favorite characters.
It was the first time that we got to use our mobile studio outside the house too. I just had to push for that since everyone took extra effort in dressing up. Of that, you will soon see on the photos below.
My friends are just too competitive words! They were all holding out on us – secretive on what they are doing, who they were going as, etc. The party turned out really great which is always the case when you are surrounded with good friends.

How to Pay Back Your Pay Day Loan by Selling Non-Essential Household Items
Pay day loans are typically resorted to during emergencies when individuals and families feel they are on the verge of being kicked out their rental home, or their electricity is cut off in freezing winter. Other causes behind the urgent need for a pay day loan is a severe vehicle accident or a medical emergency involving adults and especially children, but no cash or savings in the bank.
Adults who need such urgent loans typically do not have credit cards because their credit score is very poor and no bank or Credit Card Company is prepared to extend them credit. Under such circumstances, the loan that you seek and finally get from payday advance lenders carries a very high interest rate and the payments must be made typically within 14 days, 30 days or 45 days, whichever time period is applicable.
Mom, A.K.A “Bonus Hunter”
When trying to raise a family, especially a fairly large family, any little discount helps. As parents, we clip coupons, shop on the clearance rack, and generally keep an eye open for opportunities to save money, all so that we can give our children the best possible childhood. Perhaps that’s why, when I read a recent article Online about “bonus hunters” (people who hunt down the best online casino bonuses to make extra money), I felt the light of a kindred spirit spring into being. Therefore, I decided to investigate these bonus hunters, and online casino bonuses, a little more thoroughly.
The Prey:
After a quick Google search, it rapidly became apparent that there are several Websites devoted to helping people find the latest casino bonuses. 
It also became obvious that there are several different types of bonuses and that not all of them were created equally. Some bonuses gave “credits” for playing specific games, which could be turned in for cash. However, the conversion rate was not very high (100 credits for $1 is not unusual) and you only got 1-3 credits per hand so that it seemed impossible that self-respecting bonus hunters should pursue this type of bonus. After all, although a 1-3% discount for playing their game is a nice gesture, you still probably won’t actually make money from it.
Date with my Girls
It’s been a while since I posted some photos of myself and my friends here. With so many parties + get-together that we’ve attended and will be attending, it’s just so hard to keep track of photos and stories. But this one trumps all the recent events since another friend of mine is leaving the country to pursue greener pastures. From 6 ladies, we are now down to three. I miss the first two (Lhen and Novie) who has been gone for years and will surely miss Kath, the latest to leave. Although we always keep in touch via FB/email/twitter/text/phone, there’s still no substitute to hanging out with them in person.
Anyway, just want to say Merry Christmas to all my girlfriends and thanks for everything!
