Braving the wintery roads for work

Guest post written by Sally Denver


As much as I dread it, when I it snows outside I have to brave it and head into work. I work as a secretary so I can't really get away with working from home, unfortunately. There are only so many things that I can do through e-mail. I just have to be by the phone.
So I keep a pretty close eye on the weather reports to help psych myself up for when I'll have to drive in bad weather. When I was doing that last week I came across some hughesnet deals that sounded so great that I decided to sign up for one of them for my home internet service.
But I am pretty good at winter weather driving because I take my time and am extra cautious. That means that I have to get up early and get ready for work earlier, but it's worth not getting into a wreck. Plus, if I'm not there at work on time, I'm not doing my job well.

Pregnancy at 31 weeks

I'm getting closer to my due date and getting more uneasy moving around because of the pains due to pregnancy. I had my prenatal check up this morning and everything went good. My blood pressure was normal, Urine test was normal too. I gained more weight and I up to 123.6 lbs which is normal since I was only around 94 lbs because I got pregnancy. I was at 130 lbs with my last pregnancy. So, it's about close I think since I still have 9 weeks more to go. Me and hubby are excited to see this baby. I'm sure Tyler is excited too. He knows that I'm going to have a baby and he knows that I have the baby in my tummy right now.

Shoes

It’s the big sale of the year and people came out to shop as early as 3 am to fall in line to the stores just to be able to get in and avail of the lowest price and great deals on selected products. Even if it was 4 degrees F this morning but it didn’t stop for the shoppers to enjoy the biggest sale of Black Friday. Hubby and I went around from one store to another but didn’t go til past 9 in the morning. We got some good deals though but mostly for Tyler’s clothes and toys for Christmas. I was looking for shoes but didn’t find the ones I like. I am thinking of checking for shoes online first so it would save me time and gas from going out driving from one store to another. I am sure there is still a lot of good deals even if Black Friday Sale has ended. While checking and browsing online I came across with zappos.com that sells different brands of women’s shoes, as well as men’s and kid’s shoes. They carry a wide selection of branded shoes like Adidas, Born, Calvin Klein and many more. I might check on this site and see if I could get some get good deals on Born Shoes that are on SALE right now.

Thanksgiving

We had a great thanksgiving celebration last night. Everyone in the family showed up and that was one of the best Thanksgiving dinner I had since I came here in the US. The foods were good and yummy and best of all visiting with the family was wonderful. Before we started our dinner, everyone of us had a chance to say what we were thankful for and everyone took turn to say their part. It was a memorable one. Tyler was having fun too because he saw his cousins and he played with them.

Getting Ready for Thanksgiving

Are you guys ready for Thanksgiving? Me and the family are getting ready for it. We are spending Thanksgiving Day in Delta, Colorado where hubby's brother and his family live. Hubby and mom-in-law are in the kitchen busy preparing stuff to take with us for tomorrow's celebration. They are good at it so I spare myself from it coz they know better when it comes to American foods. Ha,ha,... Tyler is asleep and I have my laudry in the dryer on. This will be Tyler's second Thanksgiving but it will be his first when he is much aware of what is going on around him coz he is 17 months old now. I can't believe my baby is growing fast.
