Bittersweet end..

Unfortunately we were not able to sell our condo.. :-( So we are going to be taking it off the market. And over the weekend bring back all our stuff out of storage and mom's place. It's sad that we had it on the market since June... And not even one offer. But it's okay because honestly it's a nice condo there's nothing wrong with it. I guess it just wasn't our time to sell. It wasn't meant for us to move into the townhouse right now.. Although the townhouse would have been a sweet place and oh so nice. But what can you do?

But now I can decorate our condo and get ready for xmas!! This will be our little one's first xmas so i want to do it right. I already know where I am going to put our 'christmas' (fake) tree. And going to use our last years decoration and some that i have at mom's from buying the day after last year... So some new ones also. I can't wait to hang all of our stockings.. And we have some xmas presents already so i can wrap those too!! hehehehe

Holiday season..

I can't believe that it is almost Thanksgiving, Christmas and new years. I really enjoy this time of year because families get together and you remember the things you are thankful for. Not that we shouldn't appreciate all that we have on a daily basis but sometimes that gets lost. We live busy lives and feel that we must be on the go. I can't wait to decorate the house with all the christmas decorations. this will be my little baby's first christmas.. And I know that he won't really remember anything that we are going to do but I feel that if we start now and get into the spirit of the holidays that we'll do this every year like it's our first.

And I plan to volunteer again once M is old enough to come with us.. I feel that it's important to give back to the community. So until then we will just have to donate presents to the little children that are less fortunate.

Thinking of others...

So why is it that there are so many people out there that don't think of others? one example of what i am talking about is.. just the other night i went to dinner with some friends to this indian restuarant. we were celebrating our friends' engagement. and even my L mentioned that there isn't a lot of food should we order more. and noticed that by the time that i got the sea bass there was only this tiny piece left with a whole bunch of juice/sauce.. keep in mind that my hubby still hasn't got any. so i said that since he has chicken to eat i will take this.. but he gave a look.. so L gave me some of her's to eat.. and i just gave him the fish and was about to ask if he wanted more and he just wasn't happy with me. and said look over at M's plate (which is L's boyfriend).. so i take a peak and notice that he has a mountain full.. and hubby's is not even have full.. so why is it that while knowing that the amount of each dish isn't a lot that some people take more then their share? is it because they think they won't get enough so they want to take more? not thinking that the unspoken rule of take a little and let everyone get a piece. once that dish goes around you can take seconds.
