Yardies a home and a farrin (Part 20)

MsTee thats great

I wish my parents could have been at my wedding but only my sisters and cousins came to Jamaica.

At my housewarming this weekend my best friend and maid of honor said, my husband kept telling my mom I wish we could just rewind that date so you could see how beautiful your daughter was.

Good morning, everyone!

Anyone familiar with 7 Habits of Highly Effective People?

So I live by that book (a bit), but yesterday, I found it MUCH more effective to disregard Habit #3: Put First Things First. I had 1 very important task that would take a couple of hours to do, and about 10 lesser important tasks that took 10-20 minutes each. According to Habit 3, I should've completed the most important item first. But I KNEW that item would get done, as it was to put together a presentation for this morning. And I knew I'd feel more overwhelmed with 10 items remaining near the end of the day than with 1 item remaining near the end of the day. So I spent 3 straight hours wiping out the 10 lesser important tasks first. It feels SO GOOD to me to check off tasks. And I got the important task done, too, by coming in early this morning to finish.

For those unfamiliar, the 7 habits are:

1) Be proactive

2) Begin with the end in mind

3) Put first things first

4) Think win-win

5) Seek first to understand, then to be understood

6) Synergize

7) Sharpen the saw

Hey Nat I have this book! I think its time to break it out again thanks girl

Hubby and I are planning a 2 day Halloween party at home with the boys with scary movies, treats and I'm dressing up the cats ( Hush I know I'm crazy).

I concur with your self-assessment.

Hey Bunz Waving, I know you got my email LOL nuh kill me plz

Yes God is good all the time!

Well I am getting the new kitty she is all black and long hair from Mrs Bootsy tomorrow her name is Fudgums ( don't laugh LOL) . I also want to take one of the brothers from the litter but I don't want Hancock the Dagger Master to freak out as they do when they are no longer the alpha male but we shall see ( plus Hubby says no more PUS inna deh house but he is allowing the female) . I cannot resist an all black cat and he is so cute I named him Darkness I want him so bad!

The kitty Costumes are still in the works Mrs Bootsy and I are working on them tonight she is into crafts and does it every year LOL. All I know is I want to see Hancock the Dagger Master in some leather pants

Im doing something simple but we will be having our formal wedding next year in JA

That's what I THOUGHT I would be doing, but my aunts & mother have turned this year into a big event, too. I'm not tripping, though, as long as they pay for this year AND next.

I'm just paying for my [special event] dress, punch, & cake.

The only thing that saved me is that my sister just got married in August and my step-father is having his 70 B'day in February. So I can get away with the Justice of the Peace. My daughters want a big event so we will do that next December. I found my dress already and im looking for bridesmaids dresses now.

Do you think it's worth it to do Justice of the Peace before the end of the year to get the extra $$, then still have your wedding on Jan 30?

I thought that in order to do that, the person has to live with you 6 months or more before you can claim them as a dependent?

I think as longs as you are married before 12/31 you are considered married all year

Yes MsTee I just check the IRS website. Whatever your status is on 12/31/09 that is how you file.

I'm glad you looked it up. I was about to... Cause I'd be TOO heartbroken if I don't get back the amount I'm expecting.

I just went through this ####### with tmobile for instance. This is the 4th phone I have with them I had to exchange it 4 times now...the 3rd time, they accused me of wetting the phone. Why would I wet a phone knowing that it voids the warranty on it? I wrote a professional letter to them, picked a lawyer out the phone book and wrote to them. They were "trying" to charge me 100.00 on my bill. The also replaced the battery. Also, they gave me a "customer loyalty" plan since Ive been with them for awhile which I accept a month ago. I asked them how is it that I can be loyal and pay my bill, but they can't be "loyal" and give me a phone that works? I said "Doesn't your phone work?", I wish mine did! They have since taken the 100.00 off my bill... My phone still doesn't work but I will follow protocol, take it to a Tmobile store and have them test it, demand a new phone, different manufacturer. You just have to be persistant!

Which phone are you having prob's with? I have t-mobile and had the red blackberry first but took it back because of problems and the tech said the "red one" was notoriously having problems.......
