The Pimp My Cube Contest is an online search for the worst, most pathetic and messiest cubicle or office ever.  They want people to make a humorous, messy, video of the worst or cubicle ever containing bad furniture, old technology disorganized space or anything else that would make it a terrible place to work in.   

I know for a fact that my hubby could easily win that contest if it weren’t for the fact that he has a really powerful computer with a 24 inch LCD monitor.  He needs that for his engineering CAD work.  Otherwise his space is a disaster. I keep nagging him to clean it and organize but if he does it is back to the old mess within just a few days.  Then he says “why bother to clean it up when it is going to get messy again”.  

If you have a really messed up work space, you should think about making a video and submitting it.  The grand prize is cube make over worth about $1200.  There are three choices for your prize package:  

o New high end computer system
o New Desk, Chair and Decorations
o New Entertainment Package with high end stereo, espresso machine etc.

Right now noone has uploaded a video so the chances of you winning are very good.  Maybe I should give it a try after all.  You should check out the PMC site and give it a try yourself.  The contest runs through January 31st, 2012 so I think I will give it a try myself.  If you think you can beat my hubby’s mess, you should go to the PMC site, register and upload your own video.

This year is probably not the best year I ever had but I still have a lot of things to be thankful for. I am thankful that my hubby is now getting better. No thanks to his doctors, they have not been a big help, instead they cost us a lot of money and stress. I am thankful for God’s guidance. He showed us the right way. I am looking forward to his full recovery. It might take a while because the damage has already been done.

As usual, my hubby and I celebrated the Thanksgiving Day by ourselves. It is kind of normal because my relatives are half way around the world, my hubby’s kids are several hundred miles away and the relatives that do live in this area usually travel. It is lonely and sometimes I get jealous but in the end I know I have a lot to be thankful for just to have what I have. There are many people in the world who don’t even have enough to eat every day and we thank God we are able to help with what little we can.

I would like to have a lot of backlinks to my blogs but I didn’t know where to get them for free. When I started looking for ways to get more targeted backlinks I found a few sites that offer free backlinks. It almost sounds like they may be too good to be true. I guess I will just have to give them a try to find out.

My nieces and my nephew’s birthdays are coming soon. My nephew’s birthday in particular will be in the next few days. I decided to gave him cash because shipping to the Philippines is very expensive. My niece’s birthday in Germany will be next month. I will probably buy her some more Barbie DVDs. I think I will also buy my niece in Colorado some DVDs on her first birthday. I will use some of toys r us coupons so that I can save some money.

My hubby and I went fishing today. We spent more time out on the lake than we had previously this season. We were not planning on staying out so long but we did not find the fish until later in the day. We only caught seven crappies but would have had more if we had found the spot earlier. Not that many but we were glad that we caught a few. At least it made the trip worth while unlike our previous trips this season.

I cleaned them all the way I like with the bones still in and then froze them. We are planning to go out fishing soon when our sunburn gets better. I did not think about getting sunburned and I got a good one on my shoulders and back. I was wearing my swimsuit so I had a lot of skin exposed. I don’t know if I will be able to get any sleep tonight. It hurts even when just a little bit of cloth touches the burned area.

My hubby likes to keep up with what is going on in the financial world. His knowledge of investment and trading has really helped grow our retirement fund. Recently, he has been thinking about entering the field of Forex trading. Forex is the place where the currencies of the world are exchanged for one another. As a result of political and financial changes, the value of the currencies relative to one another can often fluctuate quite a bit. If you are someone like him who has great knowledge and sources of information for what is going on in the world, you can make a lot of money from this kind of trading. The following link, forex brokers, gives a long listing of the many brokers that do trading on that exchange.

Yesterday my hubby and I went out fishing for only the second time this season. He has been suffering from a lot of pain lately and that plus the weather has been the main reason we haven’t gotten out more often.

The first time was a week ago when his niece was here visiting but the fishing was still pretty slow. Since then the weather has turned really nice and warm. The water temperature in the lake went up by a surprising ten degrees. That was just what the fishing doctor ordered.

We got out on the lake late, at ten in the morning, and were there for less than four hours. In that short time, we caught five walleyes and several nice bass. As usual, I out fished my hubby, catching both the most and biggest fish. He doesn’t mind me bragging if I give him credit for being a good teacher .
