First roommate fight

Post contributed by Hilton Miranda

I just moved in with my best friend. She has a crappy apartment with no amenities, but the location is great. I am so excited to live with her, but not excited about the place. So far we agree on everything. It has been a great roommate match. However, she is a big reader and before I moved in didn’t even have basic cable. I can’t imagine living without cable.

This has become our first disagreement.

I looked up all the options at www.ExpertSatellite.com and presented them to her in a very professional way. I was trying my hardest to avoid an argument. What it came down to was that she didn’t want to spend the money. I understand everyone has a different budget and different priorities. Honest, I get it. However, this is a priority to me. So the end result was me paying for it all. I am fine with that. She doesn’t use it and I am the one that wanted it. All-in-all, we made it past our first fight and we are still doing great. I am still excited about our living situation and I am excited about all the fun we are going to have as best friends and roomies!

Quick meal prep that pays off

Guest post written by Clara David

When I get home from work, a lot of the time I feel like it's way too much trouble to even pop a frozen pizza into the oven for dinner. Plus, I don't really want to put much trouble into meals because I'm only cooking for myself. But I realize that a woman can not survive on frozen pizza and Lean Cuisines alone, so I've decided to start making more of an effort by grocery shopping wisely and getting things that can be thrown together to make good meals in just a few minutes.

But I also want to eat something more than just grilled cheese or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, so I went online to find some quick and easy recipes. When I was online looking for that, I found some information about http://www.get.wildblue.com and after I looked through it a little bit, I decided to change over my home internet service.

One recipe that I found was for a turkey wrap. It sounded easy enough and you can also change it a bit by the dressing, hummus or even vegetables that you can include. Plus this takes less time to make than waiting around for a frozen pizza to cook.

Jollibee in JC!

Finally I will be able to eat a burger steak! A Jollibee restaurant will open here in JC, NJ. It's the 2nd Jollibee restaurant here in the East Coast, USA. (The 1st one is in NY). A lot of people here will be very happy about this news. We don't have to travel for hours and fall in line just to get a chicken joy! :D

Get my kids used to organization

Guest post written by Kyra White

I'm one of the least organized people ever, but I really do try to keep our home organized. It's something that I don't do without thinking, but I don't want my kids to be like that. I want them to get used to organizing their stuff so they won't be as messy as me.

I went online to come up with some ways to instill responsibility and organization in them like my parents didn't. When I went online to do that I came across the website www.ClearWirelessInternet.com and after I looked through it some, i decided to change over our home internet service to that company.

I got the idea to make some little cubbies to put in each of their rooms and put their toys away in. I want them to be able to put away their things on a regular basis without thinking about it so that it will be less of a chore and a burden and more of an everyday activity for them. Maybe along the way I can also learn some organizational skills too.
