Spring Vacation

Are you going somewhere for spring vacation? Me and my husband has been talking about going somewhere for a week vacation. However, we don't really know where we want to go and how much money we need to do it.

So here's a few questions/issues that I have in order to do this vacation.

For a family of 3 how much of a budget should we a lot? Airfare, hotels, food, transportation, in case of emergency funds.

The Place : It should be family friendly but at the same time adult can have fun too. This is not just about the kids, parents should be able to enjoy this as well.

Is it cheaper to drive or fly?

Hotels/Lodging: I don't want to stay on a cheap hotels and I'll end having to deal with bugs. It should be something that we are comfortable and my daughter will be able to sleep. I don't mind having lodge furniture, specially if the place is in tune with the nature.

I was thinking of maybe Colorado and maybe stay in a cabin. But I am not sure if that's going to be too cold still. It's difficult to plan without enough information.

I guess I should be doing more research about good places to go and stay. Well, if you have any suggestions don't forget to leave your comment.

Working in the medical field...

I have been working as a nurse on a skilled and rehab facility for a few months now. And I am having some mix emotions as to my decision of becoming a nurse. I love being a nurse, love that I am able to help patients/resident with their needs, but there are times that I don't really feel like I have signed up for this job.

I don't mind dragging the medicine carts over and over all day, in the course of a 16 hours work day... sometimes even more or having to help out the resident with daily activities, checking blood sugar, giving breathing treatments or changing dressing. But there are just some stuff that goes with working on a skilled facility that I don't like.

Let me mention a few of them.

The doctors...not all doctors are the same... but if you are a doctor and you have a facility that you have patients, you need to expect calls from nurses about your patient. I hate it when doctors makes you feel like they don't want anything to do with their patients or that they are always in a hurry.

Some seasoned nurses loves to eat their young...

Workers in general who just go to work and don't do much. They want to do as little as possible and loves to complain.

And of course there's a lot more. If I keep going, this is going its not going to end.

Now this may not be accurate because I have never worked in other places as a nurse. But these things are just my observation. And it makes me think twice, do I really want to work a nurse or perhaps I am just seeing this one side of nursing and not giving it a chance.

Where to get flowers

If you're looking to order custom flowers or any kind of flower arrangement, look no further, just click on the link I gave you. I found this custom flower arrangement from ezbloomers. I love orchids, any color. It's one of my favorite flower to use for home decor. And you know what, I think this is a perfect center piece for my living room.

Everything from ezbloomers are made to order. The photo above are composed of orchids and anthuriums. This is just a sample arrangement, although if you want one just like this, you can choose it from the options during your order. Delivery is included on the prices and there is no service fee, 100 % goes to the local florist.

There's different flower arrangement that you can choose from, any occasions.

If you are going to a Halloween themed party, you can choose this one below.

I found one arrangement for Christmas and love the poinsettia too.


Oh, and here's another one that's really pretty for Christmas.

What's happening?

Nothing much really... just that I discovered that my daughter loves to play chess. She has been asking and asking me and sometimes her dad to teach her to play chess. And I keep telling her to wait for until she is old enough to understand the moves of the pieces. But, one weekend we didn't have anything plan so her dad taught her the game and although she can't remember some of the moves...she's only 4 years old, she loves the chess game I have downloaded on my phone. With the game she can actually see where she can move it and she knows the basic, such as she has to protect the king and that a queen is very powerful...

There's an area in one of the strip mall in Fairview, Texas that has a mini chess set and she was absolutely loving that place. Here's a picture of her with the chess pieces. What can I say, she loves the queen.



On the side note, I just have to blog about our tree. So the tree that we have infront is a bit old and grumpy...lol. It's old because all the limbs seems to be just hanging and don't have energy anymore. And today, we lost another limb because apparently it can't hold the weight anymore. So not only that our tree is old and grumpy, its also balding... Pretty soon we don't have a choice but to cut it and replace it with a new one. One that doesn't get all the water from the ground.

Here's a picture of our tree with the limb that just fell a couple of hours ago.
