Gym Day 14

2011-02-16T20:32:00.000-08:00

So I have gone to the gym for 14 days.. Have I loose any weight? I am still debating about that. So far I feel better about moving around and doing more thing. I cant wait to loose more weight that way I can get new clothes and pants. I getting sick of wearing comfy pants and t-shirts.

Anyways, I am looking into a new recipes for food. Eating right would be the next thing for me to do!.. Well here goes my research and hoping that I would get good recipes that are affordable and easy to make..

Gym Day 2..

2011-02-02T17:22:00.000-08:00

Exercise.. exercise and exercise.. Loosing weight is not easy.. I just wish that you can take sometime and say fat be gone!

Anyways, I have been going to the gym for at least 1 hr and doing 30 minutes of cardio and another 30 minutes in the pools doing a lot of swimming. I am hoping that I could get my lungs to expand and eventually I could run without asthma!

I am hoping that I would at least loose about 2 to 3 pounds in the next couple weeks. Does anyone wants to join the gym : Midtown fitness and we can exercise together?

2011

2011-01-31T18:37:00.000-08:00

This is the new year with new resolution. Have everyone a accomplish at least one of your resolution on your list? I have this year. Firstly, I told myself that I am going to blog more when I can and today start the first day of my blog for the year 2011.

Yeah! I have accomplish one thing on the damn list! I have like 40 more to go. At times it is just hard to do what you want with the limited time that you have. This year alone I have done quite a few things in the month of January after a long week of sulking and thinking and planning on what I want to to, I have decided to join the gym and loose some of the pounds that I have gain.

I am hoping that by the start of summer I will have loose 50 lbs and gain some muscle and wear that nice bikini!

The next posting and all will talked about my journey of loosing my weight and on things that I will or won't be doing and also ranting of stuff!

who knows that will come out from my dirty mind!

Spayed Cat

2010-11-04T20:15:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I had my cat Tiger spayed. She is not very happy with me. I don't have a lot of sleep and now the cat would not eat her medication. I just hope that she is going to be okay.

I found a nice vet that is about 40 minutes away from st cloud MN in Eden Valley MN. The vet is called Eden Valley Veterinarian. They are very cheap and Taking all my pets there is cheap. Their visit is cheaper then any places here in St Cloud and also that the Vet, she is very nice.

Tomorrow I have to make a nice phone call to the vet to asked about her medication. It is a very hard thing to see my sweet little kitty hurting and not feeling so well. She is my night time baby who sleep on my pillow by my head and purr me to sleep..

I am already missing her so much!

Starting a little company..

2010-11-03T21:45:00.000-07:00

I am thinking about starting a little knitting business. Selling knitted items such as scarf, baby socks, mittens and dishcloth. I have been looking in the Internet and I guess the best place is Etsy. They only charge $0.20 per post and 3.5% commission on items that are sold.

Now I just have to come up with a name. I was thinking Itty Bitty knitting after my lovely pet or Blue knitter . While thinking about this I was also thinking that part of the items that sells I would donate a percentage to a help a family in the community or animals as I am an animal lover.. hmm..

Does anyone have any idea about name that I should use.. Well I just have to wait and see what options that I have. It will be an extra income for me. Right now that would be a good thing..

Give me suggestion..

Traffic Light vs. St Cloud MN Driver..

2010-10-24T20:08:00.000-07:00

Everyone knows the basic logic behind the traffic light..

Red means Stop

Yellow means prepare to stop coz the light is going to be red soon

Green means go..

In St Cloud MN, the logic of traffic light does not apply..

Green does mean go here

Yellow drive a little faster

Red.. Go faster don't stop.. If you knock someone who cares..

The outlook of stop light here in st cloud is never good and the cops don't do anything about it.. Oh well that is life I guess..

Lunch Menu

2010-10-22T22:36:00.000-07:00

I have to cook tomorrow.. Yikes.. Hey I love cooking but someday I wish I could just eat out.. Anyways Tomorrow Lunch & Dinner Menu...

I am thinking about either having to do Pot roast, Roast chicken or Beef Stew.. Hmm.. still thinking.. Yes I have all the ingredients to make Beef Stew.. I guess with the weather going to be rainy and cold, It would be just perfect..

My recipe...

1 Large Onion Cube

4 Stalk of Celery

2 cups of Carrots

2 cups of potatoes

1 can of stewed tomatoes ( only if you like them in there)

1 Stew Mix

1 lbs Cube tenderloin beef

2 tbs flour

2 tbs veg. oil

4 cups of water / chicken stocks

Firstly, coat the beef with flour and brown the beef, once it is brown put in the mix with 4 cups of water, the put all the veg in the pot and let it cook for 30 minutes until beef is nice and tender.

So easy have to do this and keep for later too...

Catching up...

2010-10-22T22:21:00.001-07:00

I am very lazy now days.. I am not doing nothing much. I have been knitting a lot making dishcloth. I am hoping that I could get my stash of cotton skein down to zero.. but it is not working. I did turn 31 this month. Nothing much change there. I did have a wonderful birthday and also the weekend party with my friends..

I had a blast there. Met my friends new kitten Lilo.. yeah she thinks that she is a tiger.. Cute little cat, I hope that she gets her claws pluck.. no offense, it hurts when they claw..

I have been mooching books again. I have tons of books here at home and no one is mooching back from me.. Maybe our interests aren't the same.. I have been thinking a lot, maybe I should start my own business but what would it be.. I am not really good at anything at all except reading and mailing crap away..

Last month I had a garage sales.. The profit for selling junk was not bad.. I made $150 and the stuff that I didn't sell ended donating to the Lupis Foundation. I thought that if i don't need it why keep the suckers...

Anyways, I am open to Ideas from friends on what i should do.... I have to think of a better way to make money and also not work to hard.. Really working it overrated.. You should be able to do something that you like and make do with what ever you have.. Give input k..

Counting Down

2010-10-10T19:35:00.000-07:00

I am counting down the days now, In 3 days I will be turning 31. Yes, I am that old. I don't really have much to say and do. I don't really have a goal right now. I wish that I did. Maybe someday I will. I am trying to fill my days with something to do but I have not foind anything.

I am trying to find new patterns to make with my wools. I love buying them but don't really know what to make with it. Anyways, I have my little break and I have to think on what I want to do...

Attending to my blog

2010-08-24T12:00:00.001-07:00

I have not been blogging for a while.I have been lazy and tired all the time. Nothing new is going on here. I am still working out of town and I hate the drive. I wish I could find something closer to home.

At this time I really hate working where I am working at. It is just not the same like the way it used to be. Being home during the weekend is not something I want to do.. My hand still hurts and it is not healing.

I want to find something I could do that i am not far away..Well I guess, I will try my best to do my blog as often as i can..

Need to Make Mulah!

2010-08-24T11:59:00.000-07:00

Working out of town is not making me any money. I spend more when I am out there. I am trying my best to find something to do to make extra money. What can I do? I am dead bored with nothing to do right now, sitting in a hotel just sitting doing a whole lot of nothing. I wish I could just sit on my ass and make money..

Just something for me to think and come up with...

Help.. I am Bored

2010-07-13T12:29:00.000-07:00

I am bored to death at work with nothing to do at all.. Nothing at all. I am paid to watch hulu and read a book right now.. It is totally annoying. I could be at home watching TV and taking naps or go fishing.. This is the worst as I am bored and bored and bored to death..

I have gone through the entire series of Human Target. I think Chris Chance is cute.. Body to drool over.. I have already read 4 of my romance books and I have all the work done for the next day..

What else to do but wait until 5.30pm so I can go home and do something more productive...

Working in the twin cities..

2010-07-12T08:02:00.000-07:00

I am currently in the twin cities. Not something that I like. I mean it is close to home but I feel isolated here with nothing to do.. Anyways here are some of the pictures of the desk that I have to used.

This place is a dump!

Movie..

2010-07-11T20:26:00.000-07:00

I never have a chance to see any movies now as I travel to much. I decided to join Netflix.. The best decision I made so far. I get to see movies at home whenever I want and get new DVD in the mail.

Yes I did say Netflix and I am enjoying every minute of my shows that I pick to watch streaming through my blue ray players. I am hoping that way I am watching a movie as much as I want and when I want to watch it.

Right now I am watching Julie and Julia.. It is every interesting show. I can so relate to the show. Blogging and working a job that is not very interesting. I am watching and doing my blog at the same time.

I don't know if I could do what Julie is doing. Cooking recipes for 385 days.. I wish i could but that is why it is a movie and people like me watch it and dream about the day when my dreams come true..

Where in the world is me?

2010-07-11T19:50:00.001-07:00

Where is me?.. Well Today I am working in the Twin cities and getting bored to death. I am not doing much here and getting my blog accomplish as I have been neglecting it. The chair is not very comfortable at all. I will only be here for 2 days..

On Wednesday, I am relocating back to Rice Lake, WI.. I will be back in the boondocks..

You heard me right. I did say the boondocks.. There is nothing to do there but work, go home watch TV and go to sleep..

New Niece

2010-07-11T19:20:00.000-07:00

On Saturday July 10, 2010 at 10.37am, My sister-in-law gave birth to my new niece. I am not to sure what her name is as they have not decided. I knew the little girl was coming but was not sure when.. I am glad that the little cutie pie is okay.. My brother send me a text message and I was excited.

With all the travelling that I have been doing, I totally forgot to get the little munchkin stuff. So I went shopping to bought her a matching clothes and now I am going to quilt her a blanket and knitting her socks..

I am hoping that by this weekend I will get everything done and send the off.. I miss everyone already..

Missing my blog..

2010-07-07T17:30:00.000-07:00

I have been every lazy of doing my blog. I just don't have the time to do it.. I just don't know why I don't spend the time just to write on stuff. I do a lot of things during the day and see a lot of things that I could blog on but i don't..

I wonder if it is depressions.. Hmm.. Well like i said so much to do and nothing else.. I am just lazy.. very very lazy.. Well I am going to end this now before i get everyone into boredom too...

4th of July..

2010-07-07T17:27:00.000-07:00

The 4th of July was a blast. I had the longest weekend ever. On Friday 2nd of July, I went shopping as most of the mall have sales.. I love sales.Most of the shop have 40% to 70% off. Hey you can't beat the sales..that is the best time to shop...

I spend most of the 2 days shopping and buying stuff that I like. I tried to go fishing but it never happen as it was windy outside. Some of out tree branches at home came down.. I was glad it wasn't the tree..

I went to watch the fire works by our house.. I could have walk to the end of the street and watch it but decided to drive and stay in the car. Saint Cloud's fireworks this year was kind of unorganized.

The fireworks was supposed to coordinate with the music but it wasn't really. It started late because they were waiting for the lifeline helicopter to land and take off at the hospital.That is understandable.

When it did started, the music ended first before the fireworks. I took off home and had actually walk to the end of the alley way to finished the show. I just wish it was more organize. The music is just okay this year. It wasn't that spectacular..

Anyways, Happy 4th of July..

Jabberwoky

2010-07-06T18:11:00.000-07:00

Jabberwoky.. I just heard that word today on the news. What is it? I did wonder it too. The news said it is just nonsense. The work came from a book Lewis Carroll (Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872). It is a poem.

I just like the word. It is different and interesting. I bet not many people know what it is. I thought i just put it out there as I like the way it sound... If you search the word Jabberwoky you will get the poem that Lewis Carroll wrote.

The poem is kind of weird but interesting. Have fun with the word..

Knitting socks 101...

2010-06-21T12:44:00.001-07:00

I started to learn how to knit socks.. I am just excited about it. I decided to do it as I had a 50% coupon to buy something at the craft store. I love buying books when they are on sale. You can't beat that kind of discount.

So far I have been doing okay. I will put more picture and update on this page about it. For right now I have just put in stitches on the needles.. I will put some Pict's on here once I get more knitting going.. I am glad it is going okay..

Hopefully i will like knitting socks and could make some for other people...

The start of a new work day..

2010-06-08T07:41:00.000-07:00

Yes it is Tuesday.. Monday for me just went by without a phase because most of the time I spend in the car driving to work from home..I did say home. I am working in Rice Lake WI, staying in the lovely Microtel Inn.

I am not complaining as I got my own room. It is just super Duper. I can't really knit at work here. I am just thinking on what to do.. I need to start my own business and be my own person I think. I don't even know if it would work.

I have plenty of ideas but I just need the push to do it. Anyone has any idea of what I can do so that I can stay home instead of working ..

Damn I am tired... The weather is raining here. and it is just annoying as i can't do nothing much..

Well I better start my work back and then post my working project on the blog later tonight...

Tired and tired and more tired

2010-06-07T18:04:00.001-07:00
