Happy Valentines everyone! I don't think I could pass this day without updating my blog. It's been what? 2 weeks since my last post? Yeah, my apology for being gone that long. My pregnancy took over me. There was no day that I didn't feel sick great except today, so I'm taking advantage of it! So when are you guys going for dinner? or anything special planned for today? I never really celebrate Valentines at all, I sometimes think it's overrated, a day meant for Hallmark, flower shops and chocolate stores to be happy. But on the good side, this day reminds everyone to be thankful of the people they love and love them. A national day to appreciate the people you love (aside from Christmas, of course). Since Valentines is so well-marketed occasion, why not join the wheel? right? Jewelry commercials tops the list. There's no night that me and Dave never missed seeing one on tv. Of course I would give him a hint every time. He knew I'm just kidding, and he'd just brush it off quickly. lol (who knows he might buy one?) Anyway, Valentines for me is something you can celebrate everyday, it's not about buying your partner an expensive gift or token, it's about saying I love you in different ways. Yeah, sounds mushy but that's the best inexpensive, thoughtless thing you can give your love.

Last night, I got my dozen roses from hubby when he got from work! Not only that, he got us a bucket of cooked chicken for dinner! Funny thing, it made me happier to see the chicken than the flowers. I love flowers any day of the year. But anything take-out food is always a great idea since I don't enjoy cooking or being in a kitchen at all. Blame it on the pregnancy. I still can cook, don't get me wrong. But the smell of the food makes me dizzy, and by the time  the food is done, I'm done with it too.

Anyway, Happy Valentines! and don't let this day pass and not say "I love you" to the people you love!

My white Christmas came a day late

Since I migrated here, I always been dreaming of a white Christmas. I had my first snow experience last February, and boy I was so thrilled! That winter gave us a decent 9 inches, way enough to build a 6 feet tall snowman. The last time Eastern NC got a white Christmas was way back in 1989. According to Dec. 23rd news forecast there was a chance of us getting a second one, but it changed its course and with at the last few hours on the 24th, it stayed a little longer in the Midwest, thus coming here on the 26th.

Now my wish of a white Christmas came true this year, a day late though but thankful of the beauty it brought. Too bad, despite the winter storm warning, it didn't budge Dave's workplace to cancel work or even at least issue a 2-hour delay. So I just spent a lovely 29-degree cold Sunday by myself with my two fur balls (Harley & Missy).

After 3 hours, everything became white, ohh love it!

Merry Christmas to Y'all

Just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas! Nothing beats a best Christmas gift of having your loved ones around you. Let them know how much you love them as much as you can. I'm blessed to have an awesome family who may not be here physically with me, but I know we have each other in our hearts. I'm thankful I'm married to a wonderful man, my true love and best friend, David. I'm thankful we're healthy as a horse, minor cholesterol hike and muscle aches here and there, but other than that we're good! lol

Be thankful with what you have, we all might not have everything we want but God knows what we need, and that's have we have right now. As my favorite saying goes, "If you don't get what you've been praying for yet, the reason why it's taking so long is that God is busy making your gift a little more special". For the meantime, He wants you to be patient. Cheers! Enjoy the holidays!

12 days before 2010 Christmas

I felt the Christmas spirit late thus explains the reds being late. I just got over with the Thanksgiving stress and the pregnancy deal. But it's never too late! Our Christmas tree's still not up 'til now, I don't know if it will be.
