Did You Know One Reason I Love my Husband?

Did you know one reason I love my husband?

At Valentine's I made my husband a list of reasons why I love him. He pulled one out yesterday. It said "you can do so many things". He asked what I meant by that. I told him that he takes care of so many things around here. He keeps my car running. He fixes door handles and changes air filters and fixes toilets and replaces lights and fixtures. There are many many things he does to take care of our family. And it saves money too that he can do so much himself. Just another reason I love him so much!

Did You Know How to Email a Song to a Friend?

Did you know how to email a song to a friend?

I heard a song today that really hit me. I wanted to send it to my husband on his phone. I did not know how to do it. My son said it is possible but he did not have time to help me figure it out just then. After we found the song on Playlist.com I searched through the FAQs to see if it was possible. Not only is it possible, it’s easy! Just find the song. Under the title is a “share” button. Push it and it says you can email it to a friend.

Did You Know About Trapeze Class?

Did you know about trapeze classes?

I saw on the Biggest Loser last night, a trapeze class. This is a new trend in the exercise world, with studios in LA, New York, Boston and DC offering classes. It is not for everyone. It is for those who can hold their own body weight with both hands on the bar. It seems like it would be fun, different and really add a new element to a workout. There is still some debate on how well it works your core and how many calories it burns.

Did You Know I am Wracking My Brain for Gift Ideas?

Did you know I am wracking my brain for gift ideas?

Usually I have some good ideas for what to get most folks on my list. I have done all right this year. Some of the hardest people are already taken care of. But this year, the teens seem to be hard for me. I do not know what to get my niece nor my own kids. Most of this is because of the prices of the gifts they want. I mean, a car, LCD tvs, laptops, and even season tickets this year, are just out of my budget for Christmas gifts. I sure hope Santa comes up with some great ideas in the next few weeks!

Did You Know I Took a Day off to Work?

Did you know I took a "day off" to work?

I actually took two days off of my regular stay-at-home-mom job to be an extra in a local commercial this week! It was done by Nike and shot at Space Center Houston. It was fun, I learned some things, and got a good check for some Christmas shopping too!

There were only five of us extras which was pretty cool! I had thought there was going to be large crowd of us, as had been the case in the two other shoots I had participated in. I liked the small group of us. We got to visit and I learned things from these "actors" who do this kind of work more often.

I even had a bit part with some lines! The commercial is actually going to be aired on the internet. It should be released around Thanksgiving. I don't know how it will turn out and if I'll even really be in it. But hey, it was fun and I earned a little money too!

Did You Know We Have Tile Flooring Throughout Our House?

Did you know we have tile flooring throughout our house?

After a water mishap several years ago, my husband wanted to put in tile flooring, throughout the house. This way, any more water damage would not harm the floors. We chose dark natural tile flooring. It is easy to clean and hard to tell when it's dirty! The only downside is that it is loud and echo-y in the living area, and somewhat cold, though that can be considered a plus in the hot humid summer!
