Surprise treats!!


Nothing like coming home from a hard day's work to find a box full of sweets from my sweets! ;-) Sometimes it works to my benefit when Mike has a company meeting with Hersheys. Perhaps he can have a company meeting with Kwiat or Graff sometime! Hahaha... :-D

KitKat is prob my favorite! Thank you Hershey. Thank you babe! XOXO

TUMI luggage



TUMI. Nice. 32" TUMI. -WOW-  SO Mike & I are going on our first international trip together in 2 weeks and we needed new, bigger travel bags. This BEHEMOTH of a luggage arrived today... Couldn't stop laughing at the size! :-D It really looks like the HUGE immigration bags that mamas & papas brought over ages ago. Speaking of, I guess i'm not familiar with luggage size larger than the standard carry-on since I've never had an international trip or a vacation that lasted more than a long wknd...

This TUMI is Mike's bag. I am still waiting on my giant luggage. Happy flight! Happy vacation! Looking forward to filling all the bags with lots of stuff! :-)

Btw, this bag has to be the MOST beautifully made piece of luggage i've ever seen! WOW.

Good BYE Z3.....








Today I sold my Z3... I love that car and driving it was such a pleasure. But with NYC living it made sense to sell it. I went to a "cars for cash" place nearby and for some reason they gave me 10 two dollar bills. The process was so easy & quick. I think I did well & got a decent price for it. Afterall, my little beauty is a looker, but has a whollata' miles on her! I will be a car owner again in the near future. I surrendered my plates, returned my EZPass, and now traveling with a Metro Card! :-)

And life goes on.....

English - When to use "a" and "an" ...

Ok, so i'm very new to this blogging thing and perhaps just trying to fill space... :-)

The Rule


The rule states that “a” should be used before words that begin with consonants (e.g., b, c ,d) while “an” should be used before words that begin with vowels (e.g., a,e,i). Notice, however, that the usage is determined by the pronunciation and not by the spelling, as many people wrongly assume.

You should say, therefore, “an hour” (because hour begins with a vowel sound) and “a history” (because history begins with a consonant sound).

Similarly you should say “a union” even if union begins with a “u.” That is because the pronunciation begins with “yu”, which is a consonant sound.

Quote : Plato

“People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.” - Plato
