Sears to the Rescue!

With the pressing economy that we are experiencing, now, more that ever, is the time to really be prudent in spending money. Being practical will indeed help us survive this economic hardship.

Oh well, fall and winter seasons are over. So one will no longer need new coats, no sweaters, new jackets. But the thing is, the cold seasons will still be here next year. So the best way to save money is to buy them while they are on sale and maybe save them for the next year.

Thats exactly what I do. While people are busy buying stuffs for spring and summer, I still go and find some good sales on fall and winter clothing. This is the best time to buy them, as for sure, they are on clearance.

Well, Sears is offering 75-80% off original prices on fall and winter apparel from now till April 18th. Now thats the great deal I have been waiting for.

Also, Sears is sponsoring a contest for all Moms. Its called Busted Moms. This is one of Sears' ways to help Moms that are really affected by this present economy. Sears know that being a Mom is hard and with today's pressing economy, being a mom is even harder.

The contest is so easy. All you have to do is to tell them why you should be the one to win the $2500 Mommy Make Over Package. You can do so via text, photo or video update in facebook.

For more information on how to join this cool contest, visit their site @bustedmoms now.

Manic Monday Again!

Oh well, another week has just begun.

We are already halfway thru March. Then we (husband and I of course:)haha) will be celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary. A year filled with love and laughter, occasional misunderstanding, major and minor adjustments. Ok ok you got the point.

We still have no plans for our anniversary. Actually, there is no plan. All we want to do is to be with each other. Relax, and just spend some quality time together. No need to spend money to make it special. Just being with each other is already a big celebration. I am rambling...I want my RX car! hahaha.

So back to work at school today. Since I drive approximately 13 miles to work, I always leave our house at least 45 minutes early. Last friday, I noticed a street warning saying that we will be expecting 30 minutes delay starting today, March 16, till the 20th on one particular intersection that I happen to pass to go to work. Its due to some road construction and/or improvement. That means I have to leave our house like an hour before my work time. Whew!

Talking about leaving early, now is the time to get ready for work! yikes! see yah!

Good morning bloggers....

The TB Skin Test

Oh well, that is part of the requirements before I will start working as an Instructional Aide.

I went to the nearby clinic to have my tb skin test. I really don't know how the tb skin test is done but I am thinking maybe they will just scrape some skin tissue from me and thats it.

So I was called by a nurse (a Filipina) and then she led me to the immunization room. When I sat down, I immediately asked her if the test involves needle injection. She answered, "yes". Waaaaaa.

So it took all my force and vigor, along with the rest of my courage, to take the injection! That wasn't easy. Did I tell you I hate needles? I am just scared of needles!

And I did it! See how brave I am? It wasn't easy. I refused to look at the needle but then I was imagining its size before it touched my skin. Made me sweat in a centralized air conditioned room! Whew!

I went back monday for the reading and it was negative.
