When my husband proposed to me, on top of the engagement ring, he gave me a diamond chain. I love it to this day and find as many excuses as I can to wear it. Whenever I dress up, I am wearing that chain. It goes with absolutely everything and when I wear it, I am reminded of what a great man I have and how much he loves me.

For our anniversary this year, he bought me a diamond watch. I was so surprised, since he has not gotten me a stitch of jewelry since the day he proposed to me. The watch is beautiful and is nicer than anything that I could have imagined. I never would have believed that a man could do such a nice job picking something out for his lady.

The watch makes me want to get dressed up even more. Because on top of my chain, it gives me an excuse to take off my Joe Rodeo watch (which I also really love) and put on my nice, new fancy watch. I feel like a princess with all of the frosting that I get to wear when I go out now.

I received a phone call last night from my sister Jennifer.  I haven’t talked to her for a long time, and I had to ask how she was.  We exchanged small talk, and then she told me something shocking:

She was in Italy.

What?  I was shocked.  I know that she has wanted to travel Italy for many years, I just never thought that she would do it.

Talking to her a bit, I found out that she had taken an opportunity to go to Milan with the art college that she is enrolled in.  They got a discount on the travel rates and accommodations, so she leaped at the opportunity.

All she could talk about was the numerous sightseeings and attractions in Italy.  Mostly the discussion was around art and sculptures, but she talked a mile a minute about everything she had seen.

But, we had to cut the call short, as she had to go.  I can’t wait to see the pictures she brings back - her trip sounds amazing.

When I think of home office furniture, I usually think of boring desks with practical computer chairs. I think that most home offices are very dull, so I was not that excited when it came time for us to go shopping for furniture for our own office. We have just moved to a new house and the office is the last room that needs to be furnished.

We went to look at office furniture at a few different stores and I was pleasantly surprised to find some pieces that were not bland and boring. After purchasing the ones I liked best, I decided that the home office had potential, after all. I was actually getting excited about the final project in our new home.

My favorite was he two office chairs that we purchased. They were anything but dull and boring. They were actually very nice looking and I figured they would dress up the room just fine. My husband really liked them as well, and it is always a good thing when we can both agree on something when it comes to decorating the new house.

The best thing that I ever did for my body was to start taking liquid vitamins. I have never felt happier and healthier than I do right now and I accredit it all to the liquid vitamins that are now a regular part of my diet. It is a funny story as to what got me into it.

I have never been into body building, so I never saw a need to go to a health food store that I deemed was for body builders. But, one day, as I was thinking about it, I thought that I was not a body builder, but I was building my body. I was building it to be healthy and it might not hurt to go talk to someone at one of these stores. That is where I was introduced to GBG.

These vitamins have changed my life. Not only physically, but financially, as well. It is one of my missions in life to let people know about this great vitamin and what it could do for them. It is all part of a MLM and I am proud to be able to sell a product that I stand behind one hundred percent.

It seems like at least once per week, I find myself in need of another website.  You see, I have been trying to build an online business for a number of weeks now, and I am making a new website every couple of days.  The challenge for me though is to come up with unique looking sites and great content, but to be hones, I only have time for one out of the two tasks.

That is where my site designer comes in.  I hire a well recommended New York web designer that has years of experience to make my sites.  Not only does their portfolio of websites look impressive, but they have done great work for me.

What I really like too, is that they are open to designing many different types of websites.  Blogs, content sites, forums, and others are all within the scope of their designing abilities.  The best part about outsourcing my web design is that I can focus on my business instead of trying to do everything by myself.

I was helping my son apply for college because he was having trouble.  No, it wasn’t that he is not smart by any means, but rather the problem is the application wording is rather ambiguous.

What we are both confused about is the requirement for an application essay.  There are many times in the registration package that talk about admission essays, but we are not really sure if they are the same thing.

We ended up having to call the college and find out what the answer was.  It turns out that he only has to submit one online essay - we don’t even have to mail a paper one in.

Now that we have everything figured out, he is going to work on his essay so that we can get his application in - there isn’t much time before it will be too late for him to get accepted.

When you are talking to my husband, you can tell that some of the best times of his life were spent when he was in Scouts. He talks about his experiences constantly and it makes me feel as though I was there for some of the experiences. Some of the things that he and his troop did were a lot of fun. On that same note, some of the things were downright stupid and they are lucky to still be alive today.

One of these such events was a camping trip that they had taken one year. At this particular trip, he and the other guys decided that it would be a good idea to smoke cigarettes in their tent. They were sitting around in there smoking and lighting various things on fire. They created so many fumes that they had to bail out the windows. It is a wonder that they did not burn their tent to the ground.

Another time, when they were at a winter campout, they decided to go exploring on some private property. They came across a cabin and decided to build snowmen on the deck of it. They owners came by and the boys all ran away. The owner yelled at them and started shooting at them with a shotgun. So, like I said they are all lucky to still be alive today.

My cats are a big part of my life and I would do almost anything for them. I have two long haired Himalayans and they are the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen. Now that spring has arrived, I noticed that, strewn all over the floor with their many cat toys, was a lot of winter cat hair.

I decided that it was time to make that annual call to the pet grooming clinic and have my babies made pretty again. They both hate being groomed, but it is a necessary evil if I want to keep them looking healthy and beautiful. I just don’t tell them where we are going until we get there.

People think that I am crazy when I talk about my cats like this, but I lost my parents in a car accident when I was in high school and these cats are my family now. If people think that I am so crazy when I talk about them, I like to break out my family pictures of me and the cats, when I have them dressed up in pet clothing. It is always good for a smile.

I have never been really big on birthdays. Not that I don’t like a good party, but I hate the yearly reminder that I am getting older. This year, though, was different. I got NBA tickets for my birthday. I absolutely love basketball. The problem is that we don’t have a team near us, but my husband decided that we would take a road trip and go see a game. I am very excited about that.

We have always wanted to go, but with three kids and the games being so far away, it has always been out of our budget. This year, my husband said that he found some cheap NBA tickets and could not pass up the opportunity. My parents are coming to stay with the kids and we are going to make a long weekend of it.

I was so surprised that my husband would buy NBA tickets and be able to keep it a surprise from me. I think he was almost as excited to see me open the gift as I am to go to the game. It is not too much longer now. If birthdays were like this every year, I just may not mind having them anymore.

When I was in college, I was struggling financially. It was nothing new to me, as I grew up in a very poor and dysfunctional family. I was very smart growing up and this is the only reason I was able to even go to college in the first place.  I found the classes to be very easy, but I did not know if I could stick it out if I did not come up with some sort of income. That is when I decided that I would sell a custom term paper.

I knew that it was not very ethical, but I also thought it would be a terrible waste if I had to quit school, so I did what I had to do to survive. It all started with me selling just one custom research paper. I made enough money to last me a month with that sale. I felt bad, but deep down, I was so glad to be able to stay in school. The last place I wanted to go was home.

Soon, I had all kinds of people coming up to me and asking to buy essays. I decided that selling a few more would not hurt. It also helped that I really enjoyed writing essays. I decided to go for it and for the first time in my entire life, I did not have to worry about money. I had a steady stream of it coming in and I even afforded the luxury of buying new clothes, which was something that I never had my entire life.

Maybe what I did was wrong, but is it so wrong that I just wanted a good education?
