Mall.
Since the little boy’s school is in the mall, we always walk around the before heading home. The location of the school is nice as I can do my grocery while he is in school but at the same time, it can be so costly too as I tend to shop more. Good thing the school starts at eight in the morning when all the stores are still closed except for a few restaurants and Starbucks. Anyway, we went around the mall the other day and saw that the car exhibit is still on-going. We checked out the little car I’m wishing. If only I have the courage to drive. There are different brands of cars in the exhibit, even the high-end ones. Similar to the inventory of cars in Manchester NH Used Cars site, where they have an incredible selection of used cars. If you are within the Manchester NH area and thinking of buying a car, check them out. They specialize in used cars, trucks, vans and SUVs for the Manchester, Nashua & Concord, NH areas. They have the reputation for excellence and therefore you are guaranteed of an outstanding customer service and exceptional value. Moreover, the Werner used car dealership is conveniently located in one of Manchester’s most highly commercialized areas. So if you are in search of used cars, they are the number one choice.
Wooden Toys.
Here are the wooden toys I got for the little boy. I saw similar toys from Pat, and found out from her that a fellow n@wie sells these kinds of toys. We have been searching for a wooden house for the little boy as he is fond of houses.
Notice that the house is oh-so-clean. Now, it has doodles all over. Tsk. tsk.
The house is fully-furnished. 
It has a bedroom, dining room, bathroom, kitchen and living room. I got these wooden dolls to go with the house.
I also bought this dress-me-up bear which is now missing a piece. Hay.
Some puzzles.
This he enjoys playing with.
There are a few more toys I want to buy, but maybe later. The little boy has more than enough toys already and I want to dispose old toys first before getting new ones.
Let’s Bake.
I want to try baking. I have been collecting baking cookbooks for a few years now. Most of them I bought when I was still single. Sadly though I don’t have an oven yet. The husband has always been supportive of my hobbies and he has already approved of me getting an oven. I’m not sure yet though as I know that I’ll be needing more baking tools and gadgets, which means additional expenses.
I am checking out some kitchen appliances in the internet and saw some very nice ovens and ranges. I still need to research and canvass for the lowest prices. I don’t want to spend so much as I still am not sure how long my interest in baking will last.
A Simple Healing Prayer.
Dear God, we pray for the quick recovery of all the sick and the dying especially those suffering from LUPUS and CANCER. And to those 700 plus lives who have lost during the Princess of the Star Voyage tragedy during the typhoon last week. I pray that their bodies will be found and if not they will rest in peace. My heart aches for them..Amen.
To those who will be all you have to do is keep this circulating. Even if it’s to only one person. In memory of anyone you know that has been struck down by a serious illness like Lupus or Cancer or is still living with it.

Can’t Stop Talking About Cars.
Santa Claus (aka the husband) told me that he might get me a smaller car if I take up driving lessons. Of course, I know it’s far from happening. He, buying me a car and I, taking up driving lessons are both close to impossible. But I know the husband can be a generous giver provided he has the funds. Plus the small car we saw at the exhibit was not as pricey as the others. The price is relatively close to the price of the digital camera I am wishing for. I’ll just probably add that little car to my wish list. Anyway, I must say that I love the idea of me driving and taking the little boy to school and not bothering the husband to take me to places I want to go to. But then again just the mere thought of me driving scares me. How I wish I can get over this fear. For now I will just content myself browsing for cars like the ones in the New Cadillac Manchester NH site. They have the best value in luxury sedan. They also have the ultimate sport sedan and the big family cars that are both stylish and roomy.

About A Car.
I was cleaning up and organizing my purse when I saw a few pricelists of cars. I got the pricelists from the car exhibit in the mall when we went out the other day. No, we do not have plans of getting a car but I took the pricelist anyway. With the soaring prices of gas, people are buying smaller and fuel-efficient cars. We are likewise thinking of the same thing. If we only have some extra, I want to get a smaller car too. I am checking the internet to compare the price of the small car I am eyeing when I came across New Toyota Leesburg VA car dealer. They have a huge inventory of Toyota cars and they have the best selection of new Toyotas in the Leesburg, VA area. They are also the largest Toyota dealer in Virginia. Toyota was actually a good and popular choice as they are the largest seller of cars in 2007, the most profitable automaker in 2006 in the United States and in other countries as well. Toyota’s brand sale likewise risen largely on demand for Corolla and Camry sedans. This was largely attributed to surging demand for fuel-efficient vehicles. Maybe we should consider getting a Toyota once we decide on getting a car.
