Indoor Plants to Purify the Air in Your Home

2008-12-01T02:21:00.000-05:00

I would love to have live indoor plants but unfortunately can't have it. I'm not lucky, I don't have the green thump, and it always dies on me. I even have a name already, the killer plants! I've wasted so much money and finally I give up.

Here's some tips for you...

While an air purifier can do some of the work of making the air around you at home or work a little fresher and purer, plants can do a much better job of filtering the air than a machine, plus they do it more quietly and without using up energy from your power plant. And they are pleasant to look at and provide us with a sense of nature close to us each day. Why not give them a try and see if you can sense the benefits?

Can’t resist food

2008-11-17T03:30:00.000-05:00

Nadean and I had a big lunch last Friday, had Arby’s melts, chicken pop corn and medium curly fries. Nadean always the good one and I’m the evil one. hahaha. Each time I forget my lunch I always twist her arm to go out for lunch. She gets mad at me most of time; I just ignored her so she will have lunch with me. Sorry Nadean, I know we both tried to lose weight but I just can’t resist food. Well- how about considering diet pills, it’ll work for sure. And we won’t be so worry after all.

How do I look with my hat?

2008-11-15T16:32:00.000-05:00

What a gloomy day, raining and slightly snow. I'm pretty it's really cold. I got up at noon and its 4:44pm I’m still in my pj's. I don't really feel good right now, my head been aching since I got up; Oh yeah- maybe because I didn’t have my caffeine. I normally drink 4 cups of coffee to start my day.

In any rate, the other day Julie was showing me the old hat I used to wear it makes me laugh because I remember how bad I look was.

This hat definitely I would look glamorous.
