I would like to take some time to tell everyone that I will be taking a hiatus from my writing, chatting and blogging as I need to attend to some stuff that I would like to get done, this of course does not mean that I will not be writing anymore but just wanted to take the opportunity to take some time off.
I have a couple of personal projects that demand my attention and these need to be taken care of as they are of paramount importance to me and my family.
I will only be online to check my email and check on social blogging websites once in a while, and if you want to send me a message I will of course answer in due course.
So hope to see you guys after February 1st, and happy blogging!

The reasons why I blog
I started blogging because I needed an avenue to voice and share my experiences to all of my friends and family, there is an immeasurable joy in writing and expressing your feelings to an audience, hopefully the stuff that I write will serve as an inspiration to other people. I also don't blog about everything or nothing only the stuff that I know will interest my readers and provide a bit of insight on memorable and joyous times in my personal life.
I also noticed that there are websites that help promote the blogger, in exchange for writing some articles and posting links to their sites the blogger gets paid a small amount (I actually would call it a stipend) of cash. I tried this for a while but really could not get into it as most of the time I was trying to promote a product that I never even tried. My husband who helped me in one of these instances was commenting on how he would feel bad if he recommended something to a good friend or family member a service that he never even used before. He has no qualms about writing to other people he does not know but to close relatives he has his misgivings about this.
He also said that if he was the reader of my blog and the reason that he was reading my stuff was because I came out as a sincere writer then by adding advertising in my writing then he would not even care to finish reading the article.
I don't mean to start a flame war with people who write and get paid but I just wanted to give my two cents out, the same reason that I don't watch F@x News is the same reason I will not write on something I haven't tried yet, by the way F@x News reports are canned and it is now what I would call objective journalism, there is nothing wrong with writing and getting paid to do it but if your opinions are taken as truth then you as the writer must have a sense of responsibility for your actions.

My son's best friend Whitey
I was taken aback by my son's remarks this morning, you see he has a stuffed dog that he got for free in a store. The puppy was colored white so he named it Whitey, but this morning he said that if he colored it black he would name it blackie or pinky if it were pink. He sleeps with this toy every night and I believe he talks to this toy and treats it like a real pet.
My husband is Ok with us having pets but I am a little apprehensive, you see I was the victim of a couple of dog bites when I was a teenager so the experience has left me a little scared of the prospect of having pets around.
I asked my husband what kind of dog he wanted and he said he was Ok with a Lab or Newfie both of course are breeds of dogs. The Lab or Labrador are good pets to have around a yard as they like to play and socialize with its master and the Newfie or Newfoundland is breed of water dog that is very loyal and makes a good companion.
I am not sure about Whitey on what breed he is as I believe he looks like Pomeranian but my son adores this puppy that he pretend plays with this pet talking to it and he also puts him to bed and he also gets to watch my son play the x-box. They say that there is a humanizing effect of animals on people because if a person could treat another animal so indifferently how more with other people. In ending I would rather see my son playing with animals than pretend play that he is a soldier or pirates.

For your viewing pleasure
I am writing this short blog on the merits of having the must have gadgets of any household, typically in society the wants outweigh the needs and never has this been more apparent in today's age. The CES (Consumer Electronics Show) held in Las Vegas showcases the latest devices that will be coming out on the market or already in stores, electronics plays a big deal in American way of life.
The TV has been a staple of the living room for decades and it is hard to find a house without one or two of these devices, in fact my husband's boss who has no kids has around 5 TV's in his house, dare I say overkill. The "Tele" as it is called in the UK has changed a lot, gone are the days where the back of the TV was huge and very cumbersome, also picture quality has improved to a great deal with 1080p resolution and screen sizes reaching up to whopping 52".
Enough of the song and dance about the TV and may I present " For your viewing pleasure", our 32" LCD TV by Samsung that we loaned via Bill Me Later without using plastic card. The reason that we bought this TV was because we had moved to this apartment from Jersey about a year and a half ago and we survived without the TV, we basically lived a very humble lifestyle and watched our favorite shows in the PC, after they had been aired. We also decided to buy one because of the xbox 360 that husband's co-workers gave him for Christmas.
Now that we have this TV the next options would be the HTS (Home Entertainment System) and the Blu Ray player, suffice it to say these would have to wait hopefully not another 15 months, also my husband would like to have another TV but slightly larger so thats all for now folks.
