Hurricane Irene is expected to bring strong winds and heavy rain to the New York City region that will likely cause flooding, power outages and other damages.  I want to apologize in advance if I am unable to respond to inquiries or process any requests until after Monday.

I have received a Paypal transaction from Alberto G. for a passport template, but the email in the Paypal transaction is not working.

To Albert G, I hope you see this post.  Please reply with your email where I can send the template to.  Thank you.

My husband and I try to save money wherever we can.  One habit he wants me to change was my constant buying of lunch at work.  He cooks enough so I can bring lunch to work, but I seem to always forget.  Note that in the previous statement, “forget” is synonymous to “lazy to pack lunch.”  Since trying to change my habit was a hopeless task, I decided to find ways of saving even just a little from my work lunches.

• I give myself a weekly allowance.  I only allow myself to spend no more than my allowance on food.
• I’m always with little or no cash.  So when my co-workers and I order, I offer to pay for the whole order with my credit card and my co-workers pay me with cash.  With that routine, I get the following:
  • Savings from ATM fees from withdrawing cash (my co-workers are practically my ATM’s)
  • Cashback (from the credit card I use)
  • Miles (when we order from a participating restaurant in SkyMiles Dining)

I saw the commercial from Tiffany below and I thought the version of the song is perfect for a wedding!  I’ve been waiting for the song to be available for download and now it is at Tiffany’s What Makes Love True website.  If you like the song, head there now. There are only a limited number of free downloads.

Snippet:
The first, the last, my everything
And the answer, to all my dreams
You’re my sun, my moon, my guiding star
My kind of wonderful, that’s what you are

I usually do a trip log every time we go on vacation.  But I was busy enjoying my alone time with my new husband that I thought it would be okay to just do my trip log on a later date.

We’ve been married six months now and I still get questions from people, “How’s married life?”  Then I say, “It’s good.  It’s the same really.”  But they continue looking at me like I still have more to say.  No… really.  It’s really not that much different from when we were dating.  My husband and I lived together ten months before we got married and it’s pretty much the same now.  We have the option of filing joint income tax return this coming January, but we’re not even doing that.  Not yet anyway.

Here we are three years ago when we were dating:

And here we are this year married:

The difference?  Better picture?

I found out about AdoramaPix at the PDN Photo Plus Expo. Compared to the more popular consumer photo books (e.g. Blurb, Shutterfly, Kodak and MyPublisher), AdoramaPix prints on photo paper that produces better quality prints. When I opened the sample books at the expo, I was surprised to see that AdoramaPix uses some sort of lay-flat binding. The binding allows the two sides to lay flat with no gutter in the middle. It is still not the same as the professional wedding albums that have thick pages (flush-mount albums). But for a consumer photobook that is affordable, this is a great feature.

Below is a sample of the photobook I created at AdoramaPix. You can flip through the book to see the inside pages.

I will post a quick review of the photobook once I get the finished product.
