Our project is coming along but it is slow.  The process of learning something for our project in order for us to succeed is important.  DB is doing most of the work and I just give my input.  Simple enough for me.  Once our project gets going, we will be starting our own business.  Starting [...]

By | August 15, 2007

I asked DB if he like animal print bedding for our master bedroom.  He gave me the look like “Are you okay?”  Some days I can be nuts.  I mean it will not be that bad if I get those leopard prints as they are much kinda to the eyes.  I do not mean to get those [...]

Our kitchen

By | August 15, 2007

Must be a man thing!

By | August 14, 2007

DB’s nephew bought his first truck last year with his hard earned money.  He is such a good boy.  He told me he bought a Chevy truck, which model, I could not recall.  It is quite similar to a Silverado but smaller.  No clue, but I know he has been scouting for truck accessories and once he see something [...]

Insurance for the family

By | August 14, 2007

Working in Human Resources I hear a lot of problems from employees.  Some of them are extremely pitiful and some are just plain sorrowful.  I recalled back when I moved up to the 3rd floor, there are employees who will look for the benefits administrator and pour their hearts out.  I worked for this benefits [...]

Lead Foot

By | August 14, 2007

I have to admit I have a lead foot when it comes to driving my Monte.  That baby drives smooth even though she is 12 years old.  Once she gets going, she sails fast.  I was stopped by a cop for speeding once on my way to work.  I was going 55 mph on a [...]

The executive office, which belongs to DB, needs new windows badly, and so is the executive bathroom.  The windows in both rooms are as old as the house.  DB has some estimates from the window guy two weeks ago.  He still needs to get a few more estimates before he makes up his mind.  At [...]

We went for the annual Burnsville Firemuster on Saturday.   This event usually held during fall.  Last year we didn’t go for the parade because DB said it was too cold for him to stand out there and see a bunch of new and antique fire trucks, ambulances, etc. and eat corn dogs, brats and funnel [...]
