Well we went to lunch today

Our company has four girls working in the office. Today only the big Boss was in, at the office. Our Boss treated us to Thanksgiving lunch that was a nice surprise! Since no one was at the office we had to put a sign on the door saying we would be closed from 11:30 to 1pm.
Our Boss took us to CafĂ© Terracotta somewhere off Santa Fe Drive, close to downtown Littleton. there was a long wait, so we took off and drove to Ted’s Montana Grill by the Mineral Outlet Mall. Me and my Boss ordered plank salmon, it’s delicious and it’s cheap hmmmm. They have five more options menus that you can have for the small price of 8.00 American dollars, what a deal!
It was my first time to eat there, I was so full. After I ate my co-workers kept asking me if I was okay. I was falling asleep, I wish I could have went home, but had to go back to work. It was a really nice place to eat for the price, the food was good.

Making it happen, correctly

My husband has a business and is always looking for ways to get customers. He has tried everything under the sun, here’s a few mailer, flyers, newspaper ads, and yes the internet. All of them worked, some better than others. He’s been in business for over 25 years, so he has some experience in attracting customers.
He says what matters most is if your advertising is the type of customer you are targeting, and how you utilize the products available to you. He says back 25 years ago the internet was in its infancy stages. Now the internet is the most powerful tool you can have at your finger tips.
It’s all about how your advertisements are listed. If your advertisement is not accurately listed on line by the search engine, it don’t matter what your page rank is, how it is optimized, or anything else. Having your business properly listed, makes all the difference in the world, it will save you money by channeling customers that need your service. Making it happen, correctly is money saving, smart, the right thing to do.

Party, party, for you know who!

Yesterday was my Goddaughter’s first birthday party. My hubby’s foreman’s wife Amy came to the house, so she could go with me to pick up the cake. I ordered the cake at Sam’s club. I ordered a half sheet cake and a small personal cake for my goddaughter so she could have her very own cake.
Once we picked up the cake I was in a hurry because I had to pick my new friend I recently met. Me an Amy picked her up and drove to the party. Oh what a headache finding the address! I didn’t have my GPS (my hubby has it in his car), I did map quest, but still had a hard time finding the address. I had never been to my new friends house.
It’s funny because when we arrived to the party all the guests had already ate, and the birthday girl was opening her presents. So all they needed was the birthday cake, and to blow out the candles. It was a good time and not one of my friends complained about me showing up late because I couldn’t find the house. I have known most of these friends about 10 years. It’s always nice to have friends that understand, and are just happy that you made it to the party.
I can truly say that I am blessed with all different types of friends, from all walks of life. Any time there is a wedding, baptism, 25th wedding anniversary, birthday party, party, or just a get together with 5-6 couples I am invited. I appreciated all of them all the time!

Love my channels, and watch them all the time

I am always hearing about other people that are tired of their cable provider. There really isn’t but one choice for this house, it has to be direct TV. We have had it forever, and don’t even think about changing it. It offers everything we want.

My husband gets to watch all his sports channels, and he can get more than the normal sport packages with Directv. He has some NFL package now where he can watch any team playing, not just the ones showing on the local channels. Plus the NFL network.

I like my foreign channels that DirectTV provides me with. That was one of the big selling points when we switched to DirectTV. Once we switched we realized that the customer service was good quality, and problems with the service were really not an issue. It’s a service that is highly recommended in this house!

What happen to the snow...

The snow started coming down on our way going to our friend’s house. She invited us to have dinner at her house that she made a lot of foods, it was her daughter’s birthday yesterday. She didn’t invite many friends just among 3 each couples and her daughter friends. We did not stay very late because we have to go our bowling league. We got on time, the weather was getting bad; too much snow coming down and the road are getting slick. We just got back home from bowling no more snowing. What happen to the snow; stop, wow! Amazing, Earlier this evening, when we left from our friend’s house going towards to the bowling alley, most car runs slow because the snow was coming down heavier, but now stopped, couldn’t believe what the Colorado weather like? But it said going to snow tonight and tomorrow.

Awesome game...

It was so unbelievable the CU Buffs had won the game against Texas A&M last weekend. I thought were going to loose like a week ago watching against Missouri team. The extra point on the fourth down helped to win our one point. The final scored 35/34. Yeyeyy CU Buffs won the game against Texas Aggies and the weather was so nice no need a jacket. The next game will be against Nebraska on the day after Thanksgiving Day. Go Buffs…

Mom I need help with my homework

At least in my house this is a common phrase. We had the oldest, which is 22 and working. He didn’t have that much home work that he needed help with. We still have the 15 year old boy and the 13 year old girl in school. It’s the little girl that always is in need of math help.

We had an older student in the neighborhood come over and help her with math, but it didn’t work out. We then decided to go to an online math tutoring site to see how it would work.

We tried several sites. Seeing which one had the best to offer what we needed for her. Some sites offer free online math help, this gives you a chance to try out what they have to offer. What makes online tutoring attractive is the availability of the tutor, yes it’s a 24/7 operation, so your child can do it on weekends or on a late night, to cram for the examine the next day at school. So when my children say “Mom I need help with my homework, I say get on the computer!
