Not Next Month

Next month marks the 3rd year anniversary of my wisdom tooth extraction which reminds me to that I need to have my other impacted wisdom tooth checked. Although no pain is persisting yet, it’s better if I have it seen by my dentist before it causes me trouble. I really don’t want to undergo the trauma and severe pain I went through last time. Even though my dentist is good (as great as a Plano cosmetic dentist from davidwilhitedds.com, she admittedly had a tough time performing the surgery on me. It actually took her one hour just to extract one tooth when in fact the average duration should just be 30 minutes. But I’m thinking, perhaps I’ll just contact my dentist after the Holidays. I don’t want to miss all the Christmas feasts we’ll be devouring.

Can’t Wait..

..for Sunday. Until then, I get to finally meet my new lappy which now I fondly call “Harry” (because it’s a HP and the initials HP reminds me of Harry Potter). To say that I’m giddily excited is an understatement. Actually I can’t take off this big smile on my face as I think about it. The husband is excited even more. He also reminded me to browse for laptop bags or check out Jack Georges for a laptop backpack so that Harry will right away have a cozy home. He even thought and was all set that we were going to get it last Sunday and much to his dismay when he learned that he has to wait for one week more since the arrival of my friend’s FIL won’t be until Sunday.

Weird.

I had an odd dream last night about our future house having a swimming pool inside the house. It’s weirdly situated between the living room and the dining area where you have to go swimming before you can cross to the other side of the house. Then one cabinet in the storage area is dedicated for pool and spa filters and there was even a scene where the husband changes the filters daily. Really weird right? I don’t know if I’m thinking about our little mansion project that well or I’m just yearning too much to go on a swimming getaway for our anniversary next month.

Online Advertising Solution Provider

Ever since I discovered the internet a few years back, I am connected to the web most of the time and have become an online freak. I researched about my projects and assignments over the internet, got fond of emails to connect (and reconnect) with friends, got hooked with online chatting, got dependent in finding our wedding suppliers online for our wedding, developed great interest in digital scrapbooking, the digital kits of which are all downloaded from the internet. And now, I’m so into blogging lately and it has actually been my bread and butter for more than two years now. Just like most of the web entrepreneurs out there, the internet has become a vital tool for me to earn moolah as a work-at-home mom, enabling me to augment the husband’s income for the family’s needs and expenses.

I’ve just stumbled upon an article via a Twitter alert about a certain blog that has been sold for US $15 million. It’s a finance blog and is reportedly bought by a finance publishing company for its impressive unique visitor hits and outstanding alexa ranking. I must say that the author is indeed a genius considering that he maintains it by himself although I have strong feeling that he’s contracting a web advertising specialist for online lead generation.

Online advertising specialists like Statusmedia (statusmediaplc.com) are the web authority to turn to if you want peace of mind and results for your website. Their over ten years of experience in online marketing has brought immense success to their overly satisfied clients through the use of effective techniques through the support of international network of publishers, web masters, affiliates and third party cpa networks and banner advertising. Their Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques through link building and other innovative processes brings nothing but satisfaction and concrete results.

Monitoring Internet Activities

In one of the companies I formerly worked for, the management had coordinated with our IT group to block some non-work related sites that most of the employees surf for leisure purposes. The admin were perfectly aware that such activities affect their productivity so they made more extensive efforts to eradicate it. They can’t fully block the internet services since it is also need in the business operations. In instances such as these, businesses should implore a productivity monitoring software like Activtrak. This software can monitor and record things like web based email, chat sessions and file attachments from among the employees’ day to day internet activities. For its perpetual license, minimum order of 2 can cost up to $30 but the advantages and effects on shooting up the employees’ productivity are truly worth it.

Photo Christmas Cards

I suddenly remembered that my son scored in the Trick or Treat at Greenbelt a gift certificate from The Picture Company for a free photo session.  I’ve been meaning to schedule one so we can have our family portrait that I’ll be using for our photo christmas cards this year. The gift certificate is expiring on the 30th so I have to make sure that we free one weekend for this.

I have also started looking for elegant Christmas cards at 123print.co.uk. Unfortunately, I haven’t decided still which one to go for because the vast selection of cards they have on their gallery gives me a tough time. I mean if only I can choose them all but I only got a few friends and relatives to give so just one design should do. Hmm..I’ll go through the designs one more time and hopefully I will come up with my final choice in a while.

The Business’ Soul

A business can not exist without a reliable and efficient department (or a person in the case of small scale businesss) to do the accounting job. The finance and accounting aspect is the very soul of the business because it starts and ends there in order for it to sustain. Handling an enterprise’s books can be quite a daunting task because just a wrong forecast could shake the business’ standing. That is why for for some, they would rather employ the services of a reliable and efficient third party accounting firm to oversee and take charge of everything.

In Nevada, there is a Las Vegas accounting firm that is known as one of the top exceptional Accounting and Financial success solutions providers. KondlerCPA has vast amount of experience and their expertise in handling numerous industries such as Homeowner Associations, Casinos/Gaming, Contractors, Developers and a lot more are truly very well commended by thousands of their overly satisfied clients.

Peeved With Dirty Car Mats

Oddly, my husband is a bit more neat-freak than me especially when it comes to his car. Consider soiling or filthying all his other stuffs but not his beloved car. In fact, you barely see it uncleaned as he sees to it that it must be thoroughly cleansed almost after every usage. He is peeved most when his car mats are stained, mudded or sanded and the unfortunate thing about these mats, they’re so difficult to tidy up. So this got me to browse over the web and luckily chanced upon WeatherTech® car floor mats at Carid.com. Not only they are elegantly designed but advanced as well. By advanced, it means it has channels that are deeply sculpted that trap liquids and spills in their place. It also has a special non-stick surface so cleansing it isn’t a tough job to do anymore. I’m sure the husband will be delighted to learn about this latest product and brand I just discovered online.
