Bring on the Romance

Wow, in less than a month it will be Valentines day. I was wondering if any of the men out there have started to think about what to get your girlfriend or spouse or started to plan a romantic evening?

I just came across a site called Romance For Everyone and the site is just full of romantic ideas, tips, Relationship articles and even Romantic poems. I was thinking that any man or woman who’s interested in planning a romantic evening or weekend with their loved one might enjoy visiting this site and reading some of the Romantic ideas and tips. Well, if you need some new romance ideas that is.

One section that I’ve really enjoyed is the Romantic Love Letters area. It’s fun just reading the letters but you could also read through them and get some ideas on how to compose your own love letter if you have writers block or just don’t feel as comfortable as some when it comes to expressing how you really feel about your special someone.

Here’s a really nice quote from one of the letters:

“Your look warms my heart. Your touch
makes it quiver. Being close to you fills my heart with contentment. Touching and
caressing you, in completely innocent ways, comforts me and my heart. “

This reminds me a little bit of the love letters that I found after my parents died. My father had written love letters to my mother all through out World War II. They had only gotten married 7 days before he was sent off to Europe so all they had for four years were their hopes and dreams and the beautiful love letters that I found.

Remember Valentines is coming up soon – start preparing for that special day now so that your loved one will be surprised and with any luck very happy with your romantic gesture.

Giants here we come

by Tricia

My husband and I have been planning a trip to Arizona with my brother, his wife and my husbands brother to go and see the baseball spring training Cactus Leagues. We’d been planning to go to catch the Chicago Cubs play in Mesa Arizona at the beginning of March, but we’ve just found out that the San Francisco Giants are also a Cactus League team.

Who shall we go see we thought. Then I realized that the team that is playing the cubs on the 1st of March is the SF Giants! Whoo hoo! We can all be happy. Well maybe not- only one team can win that game, but at least we’ll get to see them both play.

Now all we have to do is arrange to get our SF Giants Spring Training tickets. We’re thinking of getting seats in the Hohokam Park stadium in sections 115 or 116 – row A. Either side works well for us. One is front row near third base, and the other area is front row near first base.

I am looking forward to going to Arizona. Not just to see the SF Giants and the rest of the Cactus league teams that we might be lucky enough to see, but so that we can explore a little bit of that beautiful state. I’ve always wanted to go there, and it’s one of the few states that I’ve yet to visit. Grand Canyon here we come!

I must be on some kind of sports phase this week. I went to a hockey game last night and today I’m all excited about baseball. Whatever’s become of me?

PETA’s Worst Dressed List

by Tricia

Peta has come out with their own list of Worst dressed stars of 2006. Nicole Ritchie got the top honor of being named the Worlds Worst Dressed celebrity because of her love of fur. Peta stated “This pelt-wearing party girl is all animal skin and bones. She’s an incredible shrinking woman with the heart to match.”

Eva Longoria also made Peta’s List with a reference to her character on Desperate Housewives activities- “You’d think she’d be more sympathetic to the plight of rabbits considering the way she screws around like one on Wisteria Lane.”

A PETA spokesperson also named Ashley Olsen as a runner up by saying “Wearing fur does add 20 pounds, but if Ashley wants to fill out her frame, we suggest using a fork instead.”

Paris Hilton, one of Nicoles BFF didn’t make the list this year. She vowed earlier this year never to wear fur again after she watched a video detailing how animals are killed for their pelts. Peta must be impressed with the socialites turn around as they are considering asking the hotel heiress to become one of their “I’d rather go naked than wear fur” models.

Headache of refinancing our Mortgage

by Tricia

We’ve been in our home now for five and a half years, and just this past June we had to renegotiate our Mortgage and decided to try mortgage refinancing so that we could get a better rate and lower our payments over all.

Since we’d never been through the process of renewing and or negotiating a current mortgage loan for a new one with a lower rate we were pretty confused. I went back and forth on the phone with our mortgage company and broker several times over a period of three weeks or so before we settled on a deal that would give us an adjustable rate mortgage with pretty much the same low interest rate that we’d been paying. However thanks to our paying down on our loan just prior to refinancing we were able to lower the monthly payments by a fraction. That’s come in very handy in recent months.

I’m really not looking forward to the next time we have to deal with our mortgage company, but at least this time I’ve got a little bit of experience. I’ve also found a website that is full of great information on Mortgages- getting one, and refinancing, plus the site even offers assistance if finding you a broker. I think I’ll spend some time over there reading up on all the information before I go through this experience again.
