My girlfriend keeps asking me if we can take a trip to Disney Land. She has a 6 year old son from her pervious relationship and the kid pretty much looks at me like a father. His real dad never comes around and I do pretty much consider him to be my son. I’d like to find a decent deal on some Disney vacations packages and surprise them for Christmas if I can. A few friends of mine are trying to get me to go to Las Vegas before Christmas gets here, so I might endup taking 2 vacations before 2008 is over.

A few friends of mine are talking about taking a little road trip out to Las Vegas before Christmas gets here. They actually wanted to go out there for Halloween, but that’s a bit of a short notice for me to take off work and all that good stuff. My friend said he found a deal on a nice Las Vegas hotel for around Christmas time and we could get a great price through a travel agent he knows out there. I’d like to go out there during Christmas time just to see if it’s any different out there. I’ve always went during the summer months and loved it. Hopefully we make it out there in the next couple of months.

It doesn’t seem like Thanksgiving should be here in a month and a half. I’m starting to pull out the old family recipe boxes to see what I feel like fixing for Thanksgiving dinner. I know I’ll be fixing green bean casserole. Everyone loves my green bean casserole and it’s become a sort of tradition for Thanksgiving dinner at my house. I don’t know what else we’ll be having. I’d like to fix green rice casserole as well. Green rice casserole has been a favorite of mine since I was a young child. It’s basically a couple jars of cheese whiz, some chopped onion, creme of chicken, broccoli and white rice all mixed together and baked. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I can’t wait for Thanksgiving dinner.

I picked up some lingerie to give to my girlfriend for valentines day. She actually liked what I picked out this time. She also asked where I got it so she could look around at what they have.  I showed her LingerieDiva.com and she couldn’t believe their huge selection and low prices. This may end up working out quite well for me.

Valentines day is right around and the corner and I havent even started looking for Valentines day gifts for my girlfriend yet. She already has just about everything that she wants or needs, but I really need to figure out an original gift for her. Usually I would just get her some lingerie or jewelry, but this year I want to do something special.

I know that I’m not alone in feeling like the quality of greeting cards has decreased. You just don’t see the beauty and quality in them like you used to see. I was looking around online trying to find a place to order greeting cards in bulk without having to sacrifice quality and I came across GalleryCollection.com. They have a huge selection of cards for every occasion. From birthdays to holiday cards corporate cards and more, they have just about anything you could want and their prices are pretty reasonable as well, considering the quality of their products.

They have recently done a great public service and provided holiday cards for Soldiers’ Angels (www.SoldiersAngels.org). If you don’t know what Soldiers’ Angels is, they provide cards and gifts to soldiers who are fighting for America. They accept donations from everyone and it really does make a huge difference in the lives and moral of our troops. Some of them never receive mail from home.

The weather has been a bit odd as of late. Thanksgiving is only a few days away and it’s almost 75 degrees outside. It’s supposed to snow tomorrow, which makes it even more odd. I can’t really complain about it. Nobody likes freezing weather. I just think it’s weird is all. Maybe Al Gore was right. I hope it starts getting a little colder by mid December. Who wants a 70 degree Christmas? Not me.

My girlfriend’s brother is going to check himself into alcohol rehab this weekend. He finally made a choice to clean up his life and he really wants to try and be sober by Christmas. Last Christmas he ended up getting drunk and falling into the Christmas tree and nearly ruined everyones day. He doesn’t even remember doing it. Luckily we got it all on video to show him. I really wish him luck and hope he can clean his life up.

The holiday season is right around the corner and millions of Americans will be hitting the stores trying to find the best deals on the best gifts. Personally, I will be looking online for the best coupon codes. Alot of people don’t even realize how much money you can save by finding the right coupon codes for online stores. Coupon Chief is usually the first place I look if I’m trying to find a coupon code when placing an order online. They have all sorts of coupons to stores like Target, Buy.com, Best Buy and more. Check out their website at www.CouponChief.com if youre looking for coupon codes.

As Mother’s Day approaches, most are faced with the daunting task of what to get that special mother or mother figure in their lives. After combing the stores at the malls, it’s easy to return home with absolutely nothing to give Mother on her day. After all no one wants to repeat gifts and it’s especially hard when shopping for the woman who has everything. Gift certificates are always a good choice since it gives the person receiving it the option to purchase what they want or need. You can always do something as simple yet effective as cooking mom her favorite meal and having a picnic at the park. She’ll love you for it.
