Maureen's Kitchen Smithtown New YorkThe Best Breakfast You Will Ever Have!
For months now, my husband has been asking me to go to breakfast at Maureen's Kitchen. He and his running friends will eat breakfast there when they go for a run in Smithtown, NY.
Since my workload is light this week and he is on vacation, we went to Maureen's Kitchen this morning. I am glad we did!
I had a croissant french toast stuffed with cream cheese and raspberry preserves with a light dusting of cinnamon and powdered sugar. How's that for something different? It was delish!

Relationship Advice From Long Island New York - Enjoy Your 20's NOW Before They Are Gone!
Time and time again, I see young women and men in their 20's pursuing people that do not have an interest in them. Why do you do this?
I have a teenage son and I'm always telling him to not lower his standards and chase after someone that is not into you. No, he has never done this and I try to instill in him not to.
The 20's is a great time in your life. You are still learning about yourself. Concentrate on … (5 comments)

Long Island Real Estate Market - Buying A Home on Long Island - What Are You Waiting For?
The first time home buyer tax credit will expire on 4/30/2010 and it doesn't look like the government will extend it this time around. You need to be in contract by that date.
Are you on the fence about buying your first home? Ask yourself why you are hesitant.
It's always a good idea to get pre-approved for a mortgage because you will know better as to how much house you can afford. Getting 2 pre-approvals is always a good rule of … (10 comments)

Lindenhurst Long Island Volunteer Fireman And All The Good Things They Do!
We always hear the negative about all public and private jobs whether paid or volunteer.
A few years ago, a "reporter" wrote about how volunteer fire departments across Long Island, New York spend tax payers money in areas they shouldn't be spending. Those departments were a select few. Most are careful and conscious as to where the money gets spent. She didn't even go as far as pointing out what the other departments do. Just the negative.

Don't shoot the messenger! :) I'm not a fan of the word stupid but it gets your attention.
I found this article by Marc Roth on Business Week and found it very interesting:
Well, you may not be stupid or broke. Maybe you already have a house and you don't want to move. Or maybe you're a Trappist monk and have forsworn all earthly possessions. Or whatever. But if you want to buy a house, now is the time, and if you don't act soon, you will regret it. Here's why: historically low interest rates.
As of today, the average 30-year … (3 comments)
