| i think im in love... | | we are hoping to save to have our own place hopefully at the end of the year or early next year.
we found a place that we both love and though it is far from his future job site, we still want to consider it as the neighbor are very friendly and it has a homey feeling on it and that is what we are looking for.with the economy situation right now it is hard to decide where to go.we have found a home that i am so in love with and want to built to the lot that we feel is very wonderful as it is in a country side. we like the fact that the home will gonna be an energy star saving home and it could be arrange the way we want it to be BUT the price will be fix and can no longer ask for a discount coz it will be built for us.
the lot is very nice and with lots of hard woods and very great potential for anything you want to build at the back door.
i want to have a nice garden (flower and vegetable) and i can already imagine what it will look like once it is built and arranged.then there is a home that is already built, same area but the lot is completely bare.
no big tree no nothing just plain grass.
we can ask for a big discount on it BUT really the home is nice but will... | |

I loved the fashion in the movie – latest bags, expensive branded office wear, high heels, long coats – wow! Do you really think what to wear every morning to work and actually dress up? All I do is make sure I’m wearing a decent looking shirt and some eye makeup and I’m done.. hardly takes me half hour to choose and wear my dress for work. | |

| | What is your favorite meal? | | What is your favorite meal? What combinations of meats and vegetables do you like? My daughter loves to have blackeyed peas, turnip greens, stewed potatoes, fried fat back and cornbread. Now of course you can tell this is a southern meal. But when I was growing up my dad always had the same meats with the same vegetables. He never mixed anything up. If we had country style steak, we had mashed potatoes and green beans. With pinto beans, he would have fried potatoes and slaw. And still to this day is the same way. So what's your favorites? Do you mix things up or eat the same meal combination's? | |
