Re-cap of Thanksgiving

So it's been a few days since i've posted. Just wanted to say a little bit about Thanksgiving. It was great! Wonderful food and good memories w/ family! I ended up staying the night before Thanksgiving to help my mom cook. Oh my, we did a lot! I learned alot as well! I know the secret to her famous Lumpia (filipino eggrolls)...

You will never get it out of me!! Muuhahahhaha! That was fun! I think I rolled almost 100 of them! We fried them up the next morning to have throughout the day. Man, my mom makes the best!

And in the middle of doing that, I went a little loopy. :())

LOL! I was all about eating the lumpia wrapper. That's my son, Cameron, on the phone w/ my sister who lives in VEGAS. Oh how I love Vegas! It's the best city in the world! Well, lets say the continental united states, since I haven't been too many international cities. :)  We also made another filipino yummy, Puto. Yea, I know, looks and sounds almost like that one bad spanish word, but no, it's Puto..basically a rice cake. They are my favorite filipino dessert.                             

My mom put some shredded cheese on top, just for a little kick. I'll have to experiment when I get a steamer and cook them myself. Alot of food pics in this post, I know. But I was excited about finally learning how to make all these different dishes!

Oh see, this is the lumpia after we fried it. I know, it's a beautiful sight. Grown men have begged for this..they have cried over it in despair when the last one was eaten. LOL!

So all in all, good times! I had 4.5 days off from work and it was so wonderful. The kids and I spent ALOT of quality time together. :)

What a weekend...

Not only did I watch this movie once, but I went and saw it TWO times! LOLOL

It was awesome! I even got a New Moon t-shirt for me and 2 girlfriends. Yea, we decided to go all out w/ the shirts! I got this one that says Vampire Girl on it.

Isn't that neat!?? Of course, i'm on Team Edward..duh! But I did walk out of the theater liking Jacob a whole lot better!! I saw it for the first time on Friday afternoon. Then Sat I took to the kids to go see it, but it was sold out..we watched Planet 51 instead. They enjoyed it. Sunday we went back and was able to watch New Moon. How wonderful! :) What a really good weekend. I'm such a Twlight dork, I know. But I can't help it!! That was pretty much the highlight of the weekend! Besides that, spent time w/ the kids. :)

Check it out!

So I came home last night to find a whole bunch of stuff that I got for free in my mailbox! Holy moly! LOL! Here's what I got! Okkkkkay, scratch that..here's not what I got picture. Just went i'm on a roll, the computer decides to go nutso on me when it comes to uploading my pic. It's a small pic!!! I'll try again later.
But I received a free t-shirt that I designed myself from Marlboro..yes, yes, I did quit smoking, but I did this before, back in the day..it was free! This week's Business Week magazine, a free sample of Aveeno Shampoo and Conditioner, a recipe booklet from Carnation, and a free sample of a men's cologne that my son loves. Shoot, what is it called. Swiss brand. It's ayt.  Speaking of free stuff. I have been  a member of  this website, Inbox Dollars, for a few years now! It doesn't even take but 1 minute of my time. They send me emails, I click on the link, I get paid money. Sure, it's a small amount, but it's good enough for me. You can even take surveys and shop through the website. Just a small way to earn a little bit of cash for all of those small things you want. :)
