These goodies from Dean & Deluca are just but a few of the many ‘not so great’ choice of snacks that I have been nibbling on lately.
It’s slowly becoming an addiction, that even when I’m in the middle of doing my chores and online tasks (i.e. while comparing Wholesale Insurance life insurance rates) I can’t help but dig my fingers in. They are so good, especially the Swedish fish.
We are still in the gourmet food delivery, and we are now used to the wide array of dishes. When I saw my doctor last Friday, he was very pleased with my weight and my blood pressure was normal. I’m not required to see him till October. The low salt, low fat, high fiber foods that we have been getting must have really worked its magic.
I rearranged our pantry and tucked the bad stuff behind a few months ago, but I’m back to raiding it. I know, I have to stop this developing addiction otherwise, the prohibitive cost of the food delivery will all be wasted. Now, let me grab an apple.

Looking for modern sofas is on my priority list of to-dos, but I have been distracted lately. There are several medical tests that are waiting to be acted upon.
No news is good news. Generally speaking, that is what we all think of. But when it comes to medical tests and results, we should be very proactive and not assume that everything is alright if we don’t hear from the physician.
I may be a bit of a pushover when it comes to dealing with my doctors and my husband’s. In fact, I’m the type of patient who would ask a lot of questions. Every visit to the doctor, I get there prepared armed with a lot of queries. A 15-minute consultation is just not enough. Blame it on my medical background, I can easily decipher results from a routine blood test to blood chemistry results.
Trust me, take the driver’s seat and ensure that you get the kind of health care and medical attention that you deserve. Physicians and health care professionals are there to help, but you have to take an active part in making sure that no medical detail is left unattended.

Thursday’s visit to my vein doctor for my sclerotherapy went well. Surprisingly enough, navigating through the parkway was a breeze, and in no time I got to my destination. 30 miles is not really that long a drive without traffic.
My doctor thought that I would probably need four sessions, but because my veins are responding well to the therapy, I may just need two, which means that the visit last Thursday was the last. Hurray to that! When a procedure is not covered at all by insurance, nothing can be better than getting the desired result faster. I will have to go back in two weeks for my doctor to see the effect of the last session. She’s very pleased with my progress.
With that in mind, I can re-allocate the rest of my sclero budget as shopping money. I can now buy that digital frame that I have been eyeing for a while. I would really want to get the 15″ wireless digital frame. It is actually on sale right now, so I may as well take advantage.

These images evoke bliss (for me). The pristine white snow is beautiful when left untouched. Do you agree?
But for vehicle owners who happen to house their wheels in an open parking, the blissful and beautiful is an arduous task waiting to be tackled. Now, it’s time to dig out!

Home theater seating is the craze nowadays on most dens/entertainment rooms in homes across America. While some people make use of their living rooms as entertainment areas, I personally don’t find that setup conducive. After all, when I have guests over, I find that the television in the living room serves as distraction unless my guests came over to watch with us. Those times, I find it best to lead guests to the den/entertainment room.
Having one of this makes for a well equipped den/entertainment room. Do you agree?

Miles that is. I just discovered another Filipino retail store and I can’t be more thrilled. I used to drive 40 miles round trip just so I can get a taste of home, but with my latest discovery, my carbon footprint will definitely be lessened. 16 miles round trip sure beats the 40 miles that I’m used to.
I have yet to go there though. I already phoned the store to validate the authenticity of the location and if laziness won’t prevail later today, I will definitely find myself and my husband there. I hope that the store is equipped with a barcode scanner (those with symbol ls2208) for faster check out. Nowadays, it is such a pain if the retail outlet is still doing business the old way. It’s inefficient and definitely time consuming.
With my new discovery, my pantry will always be loaded with ‘familiar’ goodies catering to my palate. That is, if the store gets the nod from my keen eyes.

The snow storm didn’t last as long as they forecasted. In fact, Mr. Sunshine peeked a little bit mid afternoon yesterday. I was cooped up inside the house and after accomplishing my tasks for the day, it was my objective to hunt for ps3 games online. However, my shopping cart is still empty because I got sidetracked when I saw this father and son from our living room window. I immediately grabbed my ever reliable Canon digicam and started to snap away.
It took awhile for me to capture these shots. Before I knew it, I was already sniffling. I was inside the house and for me to get decent shots I had to lift the window and the screen wide open. It was cold!
Father and son were in this same spot for a long time. After they created their masterpiece, it was time to play with their companion pooch. The son seem to be very delighted. Ah…to be a kid…in New York!

Do you have any idea what an Anilox roll cleaner is? I was clueless, until I was forced to read up on it. I found out that in the printing industry, it is imperative to have the right cleaner for efficient operation.
No, I’m not venturing into the printing business. That is far from reality. I have no interest in the printing industry. Isn’t it that it is best to go into business if the nature of your business is something that you are in love with? Then, you may feel that you are not really working because you are enjoying what you are doing.
Now, this got me thinking: what business venture fits me?
