On To Eastward

I came across a Back pain seminar online today and I was like, “Darn! That is simply what I need!” Honestly, I am suffering from lower back pain from time to time now. Although I have this feeling that it is not something serious, still it bothers me. I always tell the husband that it’s no denying that I am really getting old. LOL.

I know my sitting in front of the computer almost the entire day has something to do with it. I refuse to take pain medicines because the pain is still tolerable. I know all I need is a little exercise. A walk to and from the living room and bedroom is fine enough which I do whenever I feel the need. For now it is enough, but I know it will not be enough. No problem. I will walk miles once I get to the mall. (“,)

If we were still in my home country now, my 8-yeard-old son would have had his first communion and my previous days would have been spent looking for first communion for boys gifts.

I don’t know how things are done here. Back home, the schools are the ones who organize the event since majority of the students are Catholics. I haven’t heard anything from the school here so maybe I’ll need to research on this one to find it out myself.

We went to Target yesterday to buy a shoe rack for me. I’ve been wanting to do it because I don’t like seeing all those shoe boxes filling up my closet. As the neat freak me, I want them neatly arranged in a shoe rack not to mention, I can see them right up too.

It was already late in the afternoon when we left home so, I was thinking that maybe, there will be not much traffic. Target is located near the mall which is located in one of the busiest streets here in the city so, imagine the traffic that we had to go through. The husband was expecting it, but not me. And the parking lot at Target was jam-packed too. I should have thought that it was Saturday and it is the shopping day for most people especially those who are busy with work during weekdays.

But we made it through and it didn’t really take us that long. Also, I got my shoe rack now and I couldn’t be happier. Yippee!!!

We were at a government office today when it was shown on TV the three most popular names given to girls and boys. When my son saw it, he remarked that if we will have a baby girl, it will be named Olivia. And you know why? That is the name of his school crush.

That put a smile to mine and my husband’s face. We were really amused. I wonder if he will be the one to decide on the baby’s furniture too once it’s time for us to buy some. No problem with me for as long as it’s amish baby furniture. (“,)

We went to look for curtains at Bed Bath and Beyond on Saturday. We’ve been wanting to do it and finally we were able to make it. We didn’t buy anything, though, since our main purpose was to only look and compare prices with the other window treatments that we saw at other stores that we visited. We’ve seen some that we like, but we still have a couple of stores to check before deciding where to buy.

After that, the husband decided to check Best Buy which was  next door. It wasn’t on the plan, but since he wanted to go,  off we went. I browsed the best netbooks they’ve got while the husband was busy checking the TV section and my son, the games section. We just looked around and after that, we went to our main agenda for the day which was grocery shopping. Nice day!
