What to do

As I mention before my husband and I would like try and start a family in the next year or so. Well in order to get ready for that, I have been shopping around for health insurance that has maternity coverage. Come to find out only three companies offer maternity coverage. And my gyno's office only accepts one of them and it's the most expensive. The best coverage is with Kaiser but I have to use their doctors and what not. I'm not keen on this b/c I have been seeing my doctor for 14 years and I really don't want to start seeing a new one. I don't know what to do. The most logically thing to do is go with Kaiser, because we can't afford the monthly premium for Blue Cross and Blue shield. I hate making decisions like this.

Getting Insurance Is A Pain

I think everyone out there can agree with me that trying to get health insurance is a pain in the ass. Especially if you are tight on money and need a policy with maternity coverage. My hubby and I are in talks to try for a baby in a year. So that means I need to get an insurance policy now b/c there is a 1 year waiting period before you can use your maternity benefits and I most certainly am not paying for my baby out of pocket. But what is one to do when they simply can't afford the policy? I know some may think if you can't afford to pay the monthly insurance premium than how can you afford to have a baby? Well my answer is thousands of people do it every day you just make it work.

Winter time memories

I remember when I was a young girl that when the temperature started to fall outside my dad would always build a fire in the fire place and my mom would get out our electric blanket. Of course my sister and I always argued over who got to use it, but we usually ended up sharing it because it was big enough for the two of us. That electric blanket also came in handy when my dad had heart surgery because ever since then he is always cold due to the blood thinners he has to take. I actually wish I had that blanket right now because it is freezing in my house.

Dieting

We all know that it is a struggle to maintain a certain body weight and when you decide to try and lose that unwanted weight it seems a littler harder. Well there are diet pills out there like Relacore that claim it can help you burn that access belly fat. I will admit I have never tried it, so I don't know it if really works. But I honestly don't think there is a magic pill out there that can actually make you lost weight. However, I do feel that if you take Relacore and exercise and eat right that it might indeed help you out.

There's a chill in the air

I can't believe how cold it is where I live. The reason I'm a little shocked is because I live in the south. And for as long as I can remember it has been near 80 degrees every Halloween and this Halloween it looks like it is going to be a bit cooler. Hum and they say globaly warming is happening, well it sure doesn't feel like it here in the south where is should be 70 degrees but instead it is in the low 40's.

Still Waiting

As I expressed a week or so ago my hubby sent his resume to another company and they told him they would get back to him last week. Well last week came and went and we have yet to hear from this company. I know there could be a number of reasons why they didn't contact him last week. but damn it if you say you are gonna contact somebody than for god sakes contact them when you say you are. So this means we will start next week on pins and needles again in hopes of hearing from this company. I mean my hubby doesn't need this job he has on currently thank god. But this job would be a better job and sadly would require us to move out of state. So the sooner I know if his got the job the better.

It has happened

Just last week I wrote post about gas prices going down down down. Well I am happy to report that premium here is actually under $2.99 it is $2.89. I just can't believe this. I wonder how low gas prices are really going to go before they start sky rocketing again? Wouldn't it be just totally awesome if gas prices got down to the $1 and some change mark again. I'm sure that would help out so many people right now in this horrible economy.

Babies Babies Everywhere

Okay, well they are not everywhere, but I do know a couple of people who are pregnant right now. I think it is great that people want to have children and all. But what I really hate is the fact that my husband and I do not have any children and people are always asking us when we are gonna have kids. To be frank, I don't know if we every will. It's just not something that is on our minds right now. However, I will admit I would love to decorate a baby's nursery and get cute little baby bedding , furniture, and all the other cute little baby things you get when putting together a nursery. Oh well I'm still young and have time for all of that.

Shoes and more shoes

What woman on this earth does not have a love affair with shoes? I mean a women can never have too many shoes. Even if we will only wear them once in our life we still have to have them. We all strive to have Beautifeel shoes no matter what the cost maybe. However, since I am a very petite women and wear a size 5 MY passion for shoes can be a bit challenging at times. For instance, if I find a shoe I love they simply don't have my size or the color I want is unavailable in my size. So listen up shoe manufacturers don't discriminating against women who have small feet and start making more shoes in a size 5. We have the same right at a size 7 to be fabulous!
