Gaudy

I just spent an hour of my precious time getting caught up with blogs of celebrities. I knew this was bad subscribing to their blogs using my Reader. I could have finished all online tasks by that time. Anyhow, I chanced upon a celebrity blog who was very vocal with her owned jewelry. She would even mention where she got it and, distastefully, I might add, HOW MUCH she got it? Can you talk about tasteless. She should know some modesty and show discretion. Obviously, even branded clothes and designer costume jewelry doesn't make her any better than the rest of us.

Holsted Jewelers is a nice site for designer costume jewelry. You should check it out.

Tips on Trimming Down Your Grocery Bill.

Thanks Mai for the tips!
1. Buy in bulk
Buying grains, cereals, dried beans, nuts, and seeds in bulk can save you a whole lot of cash.

2. Clear out your freezer
Look for bargain buys. If you find a great deal on meat, for example, buy a bunch of chicken breasts (make sure they haven’t passed the “sell-by” date) and either freeze in the original packaging or rewrap and seal.

3. Go whole. Yes, instead of buying rice by the kilo, why not go for the sacked 10, 25 or 50 kilo.

Beauty Schools

I have a cousin who wants to seriously study being a beautician - she wants to study hair and make-up - a cosmetology school! There are cosmotology schools she can possibly enter for sure.Regency is the fastest growing beauty school in the country. Regency has expanded from two Minnesota schools in 2002 to almost 30 campuses across nine states, with continued growth underway for next year.Regency has a growing network of campuses and placement relationships, from salons to cruise ships and runways. Regency graduates are recognized and sought after throughout the United States. She is just seeking approval from her parents and then Im sure it's going to be off to Michigan!!!

Women and Health

Some mother told me that the reason why she doesn't want to have a Caesarean Section when delivering her child is because she doesn't want to have a catheter installed. They say removing one is very painful and even more comfortable afterwards. It's a good thing labor and delivery was very easy for me. When the baby was there, it was entirely a different story altogether. No regrets though, I love Sandy and I will gladly go through with that 100 times just to have her again. Hmm, of course, I love Sandy MORE now that she is a little lady :)

WW #58: Hypotheticals Round Two

Questions Courtesy Of: Ruby Rose (again, thank you!) & Bella Dreamer

1.) If you had to either shop for your groceries in your underwear only (bra&panties or boxers/briefs/whatever) or run streaking through the mall totally naked for no less than 4 minutes, which will you pick?
Do groceries in my underwear.

2.) You're having dinner at the inlaws (your boyfriend/girlfriend's parents if not married) and the food is so awful you would rather eat the table cloth. Your mother in law (bf/gf mother) calls you out and asks if there is anything wrong with the food. You can't say you're "just not that hungry" because you had earlier claimed to be "starving" so now, how do you respond to her?
Tell her that I'm not feeling well. All the food isnt agreeing with my tummy,

3.) In the middle of foreplay, your partner asks if you want to try something new. You ask what it is. They want to stick some kind of frozen fruit or vegetable up your anus. How open to trying this are you?
WTF! No way!

4.) Would you rather have to walk 30 feet over burning hot coals or walk 70 feet over broken shards of glass? Why?
30 feet of burning hot coals. I know Id never even go way past two feet because my feet will get burned.

5.) Would you rather have to have sex with your partner with a room full of your former highschool classmates watching or have sex with your partener in a room full with a mix of each of your former exes watching?
Neither. Ewww.

Monday Music Mambo

What is your favorite Michael Jackson song and why?
This is a tough one but I'd go with three: Ben, She's Out of My Life and The Way You Make Me Feel.

Someday Id have the time to watch all his videos and even see the MJ memorial. I think I'm the only one who hasn't watched it.

Buying Gold

Gold investment is a nice way to preserve money as it doesnt really depreciate. You can buy them in the form of gold coins or bullions. You can purchase silver, gold or other precious metals and coins for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository through Monex Deposit Company (MDC). American eagle gold coins are available in units of 10 one-ounce coins for personal delivery only. .9167 fine gold. Legal tender coin in the USA with a $50 face value. Also available for personal delivery only in fractional sizes of ounce, ounce and 1/10 ounce, in units of 20 coins each. Silver also is a nice investment. There may never be a better time for buying silver bullion than right now. World demand for silver now exceeds annual production, and has every year since 1990. Above ground stockpiles of silver bullion are low, shrinking rapidly and approaching zero.

Three things

What are three things that are overdue in your house?

1. We need to get a new house, that's the first one.
2. But we're still waiting to get that perfect lot for it. We found a few contenders but there's always a problem with it. Either too far or too expensive.
3. Most importantly, we need to raise the money for ALL of it.

"I Want...." Wednesday #40
