The one time of the year that I watch romantic comedies

Guest post written by Angela Lawless

I've been waging a war against romantic comedies for years now. They're just so unrealistic and annoying to me, but for one reason or another, I really love to watch them around the holidays. Maybe it's because on a random Saturday afternoon the Christmas ones are the only ones on TV. It's just that way and I'm a little embarrassed to admit it.

I was looking up a few of the new made for TV ones a while back when I ran across the site http://hearingaids.miracle-ear.com/hearing-locations/california/o/oceanside/. I browsed through it a bit and after that I decided to go and get some hearing aids. They're something my husband's told me I could use for a while and I've actually agreed with him.

But I can't really get him to agree watching Christmas romantic comedies with me. He just doesn't get it, but I don't expect him to get it anyway. I barely get my holiday test for that movie genre, so I guess that I'll just think that over while I'm watching all of my recorded cheesy Christmas movies with my dogs.

New House

Guest post written by my buddy Bernardo Graham

My husband and I recently took advantage of this incredible housing market to buy our dream home. It’s big enough for us to grow into, it has an ideal backyard for our dog, and we now have plenty of room to each have our own spaces. I’m fairly certain this is the key to maintaining a happy marriage—separate spaces to retreat to when one of us needs a little time to decompress. There are two downsides to this house: we have to buy some new furniture to fill it up, and it has turned out to be very expensive as far as utilities are concerned. Moving from a small apartment to our new five bedroom house has been quite an eye opener. We’ve started to save money wherever we can to start furnishing our house, not to mention keep it heated and cooled! One thing we’ve done is contact shopelectricityratestexas to change our natural gas provider. The call took us about five minutes and we were able to make a switch with practically no work on our part. We’re going to use our savings to start filling this house up with awesome furniture.

Both Travelling

Our home security systems have really been getting a workout these last six months since my husband’s company decided to have him travelling overseas all the time. Since I work from home I can actually go too which has been a lot of fun so I generally just book a ticket when they book his and go right along with him! I know it sounds silly but it’s like I get to travel for free almost and I at least get a free place to stay. We’ve been to Japan, Mexico and Canada all in the last few months and there are a few more big trips on the docket soon. I know this traveling thing won’t last forever so I’m going to milk it with my husband for as long as I can and I know he feels the same way! We’re lucky because we don’t have any kids or pets or anything like that so we can get on a plane with a clear conscience and not worry about leaving anything behind.

Tone the Body

Exercising is a passion of mine and has always been, even when I was a lot younger. It is just so much fun to be able to know that I can be healthy by just working out for about an hour a day. I know of a lot of people who do not workout and I always wonder why they don't. It's just not healthy to not workout and it can be very easy to find the time. One hour a day can be spent exercising, meaning you may not be able to sit and watch a television show that you want to watch during the day.

I actually belong to a gym and usually set my Security companies alarm before leaving for it every morning. I work in the gym and also workout on a regular basis. I find it fun to be able to work with people who are looking to be healthier and to make the change that it takes to do that. The first thing I tell people is that they need to really start making time for exercise. It's just not healthy to spend that extra time sitting down, when you could do a world of good by getting up and doing any particular type of exercise that you really want to do to get your body moving and to tone it down.
