What a stormy week.

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Hi there, I haven’t had any chance to post anything last week. :( Today all the schools in Broward and Dade county were close because of the Tropical Storm Fay heading our way. My boss sent me hope as soon as the weather clear up and safe for me to drive back home. It’s has been raining all day, look at the pictures below….. ugly, ugly day to stay outside.

Tropical Storm Fay Tropical Storm Fay 1

Yesterday was my hubby’s birthday, Happy 35th birthday dear! I hope you enjoy your birthday. :) Last Friday, he was in a car crash and thank god, he came out with not even a scratch. He wrecked our baby on the way home from work. Rain + traffic + new slick pavement = bad. He crashed our car 2 days before his birthday, too bad I already bought his present if not I could deduct it base on the damaged done. :) Kidding, dear.

He was just about to get on the highway on the ride home from work, and it was raining pretty bad. He was in the center lane of a three lane road. This 3 lane road is under construction and has giant concrete barriers on the left and right sides, with no shoulder. He changed lanes to the left lane, and something he don’t even remember caused him to lose control and spin, in full rush-hour traffic. He did a complete 360 in the left lane, then hit the left concrete barrier. He bounced off that, still spinning and slid all the way across the road and hit the right barrier, hard. He think he remember spinning around maybe 4 times. He hit the right barrier so hard that the car flew up in the air. He thought he was going to flip for sure, but she landed back on her wheels and rolled to a stop.

The front end is in really bad shape. He had to crawl out the window because neither door would open. My nice wheels are toast. My nice tires are toast. On top of all that, the airbags didn’t even deploy. No airbag warning lights had been on, so not sure how that’s feasible. Here is the before and after the crash photos:

Before the crash;

After the crash;

Our baby will be in the work shop for 3 weeks or a month and hopefully it won’t be longer than a month. The repairs doesn’t include the tires and wheels, so now we have to buy 4 wheels and tires and ship it to the body shop.

Now, about my favorite baby Josh…. he’s been teething and now he has 3 teeth and one or two more is coming. I discovered Orajel to help sooth Josh from the teething pain and I don’t think I can live without it or at least until Josh has all 20 teeth. Is it 20?

No, he doesn’t know how to feed himself yet.

There’s a lot more I would like to post here but I think I’ll save it for another day. Oh! All these pictures are taken from an Iphone.

Denny\'s Restaurant

Picture from you-are-here.com

We went to Denny’s last weekend for breakfast and Josh finally was able to use a highchair without using his baby carrier. Thank god he didn’t bang his head this time if not his daddy’ll kill me. His daddy thinks Josh will have a brain damage or something ……. well, anyway…. Josh thinks he’s a big boy now….. Here are some of the pictures taken from my Iphone.

Josh was busy looking around

I had a waffle with strawberry and whip cream. The waitress likes me and make a smiley face. :)

My baby is growing up …….

I will post more pictures tonight, I can’t upload pictures from my computer at work because it doesn’t have firefox and wordpress doesn’t work well with IE. I cannot curi tulang lama-lama nanti kena “join” petik buah anggur.

Debt Free Living

Friday, August 8th, 2008

Who in this world doesn’t want to live a debt free life? In America debt is a very serious issue. Living a debt free life is impossible to achieve though it is difficult and requires determination, time, a lot of patience and discipline. A few years ago right after Hurricane Wilma, my husband and I was lay off from work. While looking for another job we still have bills to pay and no income coming in at all. We were so desperate, we started using our credit cards to cover some of our bills. By the time we finally get another job, we already maxed out most of our credit cards and a month behind. It is official that our credit scores are ruin. It is not easy to fix your credit once it was ruin and I was determine to get my credit back. I starts making list of my debts including the creditors name, the amount I owe, the interest rate I was charged and the monthly payment I make towards the debts by Consolidate debt into one lender. Gosh, it was very stressful and depressing moment in my life when at the end of the month all you money are gone but I know it will pay off once I am debt free. I wish I know about BillsIQ a lot sooner and realized how financially fit I am. Bills IQ is easy to use, fast and free…… everyone loves free stuff and even better when you get a good product for free. :) Bill IQ also helps me save my money, improve my credit score and free financial check-up. My Bills IQ is 89%B, how about you? Ask yourself “Are you financially fit”? If you would like to know go to BillsIQ.


Josh Turns 10 Months Old

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Today Josh will be 10 months old and I saw another tooth is popping out. He doesn’t like to show me his tooth and always cover it with his tongue. He starts crawling about 4 weeks ago “on” and “off” but last week he finally crawls for full time. :) He loves climbing the stairs, thanks to daddy for teaching him that! It has been for a few days now he’s been trying to walk and sometime he stands up without holding onto anything.

Picture taken using my iphone and this is his first success in using a highchair at a restaurant without banging his head on the table. :)
