Paul Newman
Only women of a certain era will fully appreciate this....true story. (if you don't understand this, tell your mother, she'll get it)
A Michigan woman and her family were vacationing in a small New England town where Paul Newman and his family often visited.
One Sunday morning, the woman got up early to take a long walk. After a brisk five-mile hike, she decided to treat herself to a double-dip chocolate ice cream cone.
She hopped in the car, drove to the center of the village and went straight to the combination bakery/ice cream parlor.
There was only one other patron in the store. Paul Newman, sitting at the counter having a doughnut and coffee. The woman's heart skipped a beat as her eyes made contact with those famous baby-blue eyes.The actor nodded graciously and the star struck woman smiled demurely.
Pull yourself together! She chides herself. You're a happily married woman with three children, you're forty-five years old, not a teenager!
The clerk filled her order and she took the double-dip chocolate ice cream cone in one hand and her change in the other. Then she went out the door, avoiding even a glance in Paul Newman's direction.
When she reached her car, she realized that she had a handful of change but her other hand was empty. Where's my ice cream cone? Did I leave it in the store? Back into the shop she went, expecting to see the cone still in the clerk's hand or in a holder on the counter or something. No ice cream cone was in sight.
With that, she happened to look over at Paul Newman. His face broke into his familiar warm friendly grin and he said to the woman,
You put it in your purse

Body Cream and Lotion
Posted by Lisa at Sunday, December 30, 2007
My friend Ann told me the other day that there was a sale in Bath & Body Works just for 4 days. I love the scents of Bath & Body Works lotion. It really smell good. I used to love Victoria Secret when I was in the Philippines. In fact when hubby went in the Philippines the second time I asked him to buy for me Victoria Secret lotion and he did. He bought me several bottles of Victoria Secret lotion, perfume and exfoliating cream. When I got here in the US I tried Bath and Body Works lotion and I love the smell too. So hubby and I went to the mall yesterday to avail of their sale. As expected, lots of people were there, mostly ladies of course. I even saw my friend Arlene there who also went there to avail of the sale. Imagine the body cream which has a price tag of $10.50 was marked down to $3 only. I got 4 of them, he-he! The lotion which was $9.50 was on sale for $4. I only got 2. I had to fall in line when I checked out. Line was long. Now I have a stock of body cream and lotion.

Happy Moments
Posted by Lisa at Friday, December 28, 2007So Christmas is over but the memories remain. I captured those moments with my digicam. I can always always look at the photos and see what we did this time of year. I will always cherish those moments and I'll be remembering it when hubby and I decide to go back to the Philippines. My hubby and his kids are my family here and they are dear to me. Here are photos of my hubby with his kids taken on Christmas.

A.S.A.P.
Posted by Lisa at Friday, December 28, 2007Ever wonder about the abbreviation A.S.A.P.? Generally we think of it
in terms of even more hurry and stress in our lives. Maybe if we think of
this abbreviation in a different manner, we will begin to find a new way to
deal with those rough days along the way.
*************
There's work to do, deadlines to meet;
You've got no time to spare,
But as you hurry and scurry-
ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER
In the midst of family chaos,
"Quality time" is rare.
Do your best; let God do the rest-
ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.
It may seem like your worries
Are more than you can bear.
Slow down and take a breather-
ASAP - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER
God knows how stressful life is;
He wants to ease our cares,
And He'll respond to all your needs
A.S.A.P. - ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER.

Discount Inkjet Cartridges
Posted by Lisa at Thursday, December 27, 2007We have two all-in-one printers in the house. My hubby bought it for me so I can print whatever I want. I mostly print photos in our printer because hubby doesn't want to go to Wal Mart and wait for me while I'm transfering my photos and editing it in the photo machine. I already printed a lot of our photos that's why most of the time I run out of ink. In fact I'm low of printer ink right now. I really needed to buy more so I can print the photos that we took last Christmas with the family. It's good I've seen this website that sells discount inkjet cartridges. At Inkjetdeals.info, you can find all the stores that sell ink cartridges and laser toner for up to 80% discounts. This is really cool. You can also find there a compatible Canon printer ink cartridge for your Canon printer. My two all-in-one printers at home uses Lexmark printer ink cartridge and HP printer ink cartidge. I can find the stores that carry these brands at inkjetdeals.info. The site also offers discount ink cartridge coupons so I can save money. This is a great store to buy all my printing needs.
