When everything is set and done, I planned to hold a little party for my friends and family. I am proud to show my new house to them, but not to the whole world of course. For that matter I have to start making or ordering whichever is less expensive, the party invitations. Like I said, I have to weigh down the amount because it’s not a big or formal party. Giving invitations is just out of respect.
Well, I have to start whatever I am planning. Also, I have to start arranging once again. I might not be able to finish whatever I want to finish if I continue to sit in front of my computer.

It has been a talk in the internet when the first photo of Kendra Wilkinson’s first baby, a boy named Hank Baskett IV, has already surfaced on the cover of the upcoming issue of OK! Magazine. Editors for the tab were invited at the hospital, where the star was recovering after giving birth, and were lucky to get her talking about how it felt to be a new mommy. Although she claims to have “labor brain” and to have forgotten everything that happened since she was taken to the hospital, Kendra can’t stop talking about her and husband Hank Baskett new bundle of joy. She feels great after the experience and the fact that she finally gets to hold little Hank is truly a dream come true. And it more than shows in the photo, with Kendra smiling wide as she’s cradling the baby in her arms.
As the former glamour model says for the magazine “The good thing about being induced is that it’s like planning a trip, just very calm. We ate a huge dinner before we came to the hospital. I ate a whole batch of brownies because I was nervous. No wonder he’s 9 pounds! I was induced early in the morning; then it was wait, wait, wait. I was experiencing contractions throughout the day, and I was anxious. I kept checking the monitor every second, like ‘Is it happening yet?’”.
As noted above, this could easily be a new record in terms of a media outlet rushing with an offer to get a celebrity’s baby photos. Tradition in showbiz makes it so that this kind of pictures can make a lot of money; with their value going up if the waiting period is longer. Never before has a star sold pictures with their 2-day old child, they say, which could also mean that demand for them was incredibly high.

Actually the move to this house is unintentional. The contract of the previous border hasn’t expired yet. But they left without a word after a few arguments with the landlady. The landlady in return enforced a bridge of contract and after a talking to her attorney; she gave us the go signal to transfer.
There are a lot of differences in this house. The size is bigger, bigger windows, lower ceiling and no patio furniture. Good thing I did not take the risk of buying patio cushions in the previous apartment. It would truly be a waste of money.
But, I am not yet done arranging everything even if five days have passed. For the reason that arranging is not the only thing I am doing every day. Of course, I have to work to earn for a living. I will give another week probably by that time it’s all set and done.

Our landlady is asking for the payment of the broken tile in the first apartment. I thought she will not see it because we tried to cover it up with an epoxy. Hehehe! But, she did because those tiles are installed a few weeks before we transferred there. Sigh! Now we have to look for a ceramic tile that matches the one that we broke. Good thing we only have to replace one.
I have to put this on my list before I forget it. The timing is just right because we will go back to the hardware store I mentioned in my earlier post to buy the blinds, shower heads, and more. Before that, I still have to updates some of my other blogs. I’ve been absent for a long while so I have to grab this opportunity because it’s Sunday and no work day.
Perhaps, when you set out to lose some weight, especially if it’s more than a couple of pounds, you always think strict dieting and working out until you’re numb from exhaustion. It doesn’t necessarily have to be so, fitness experts point out for Shape magazine, offering the alternative of taking up dancing to break a sweat and get in shape.
Basically, dancing does not only burn the extra calories, but it also does so in such a manner that we’re not constantly focusing on it. Because there are moves to be learned, a pace to be kept and so many other factors that require our attention as we train, we are hardly paying any heed to the primary reason why we started it in the first place, namely how effective it is in terms of weight loss. This way, not only do we get to have a proper workout, but we also have plenty of fun in the process.
In addition, dancing unlike some gym classes it can also be done at home, say, if we lack the financial resources to get a trainer. A DVD workout program should suffice for a proper calorie burning session although, as health experts put it, there is literally nothing stopping us from dancing whenever we feel like it. So, there’s no reason for you not in good shape!

Yesterday, we gave the hardware store a visit with the intention to buy a brace for our new air-conditioning unit. We search the big hardware store and find one. But, hubby says that the product is too light, it might not hold the unit. So, we did not buy it and search for other items we found a lot of items actually from doorknobs, blinds, exit signs, tiles and so much more. I am beginning to ask myself whether or not it is a hardware store because there are items that are supposedly a grocery items.
Despite those items we found, still we left the store empty-handed. We thought that those items are available in the next store we will visit. Yet, we are disappointed to find out those items in our list are not available. Now we have to go back to the first mall we visited. It is such a waste of time, but we can’t do anything about it anymore.
