My friend, S, and I went to Northfield for picking strawberries. The weather was crazily hot and humid. It rained the whole day before and the morning before we went. The skeeters were having a good feast. When we got there, the owner of the farm told us the strawberry fields are soaking with rain [...]
I am off work starting tomorrow, Friday, all the way through Tuesday, day after Fourth of July (USA’s Independence Day). I wanted to spend my savings on a trip to Duluth but decided not to coz my sis mentioned she, her family and our mom are going to Bali end of the year. She asked [...]
The weekend is here…well for me will be after 2:30 p.m. this afternoon. Have you all heard of this Kielh’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate? I cannot remember where I first read it how good it is for a night serum. The reason I want to check it out is because my face is very dry. It [...]
A recap……darn long post for my own record! My friend asked me if I would like to join her for a half marathon. I was very skeptical since the last I run as a hobby was in 2006. Even after she signed me up I was kinda worried if I can actually make it or [...]
Every morning when I take the dogs out for their walks the only thing I worry about are skunks. I have only seen a life skunk once over at our old neighborhood. Each and every time Chase runs up in to the woods, I will whistle and he comes running out. Thank goodness he’s obedient [...]
I can heave a sigh of relieve. Been going to church since Wednesday (19th) – Sacrament of Reconciliation. It was a communal confession as a bunch of priests from different churches came to our church to hear us ‘fessed up! Then the start of the Triduum on Thursday, through Saturday (23rd) – Easter Vigil. I [...]
My day today…..it’s my birthday. This is the sinful carrot cake my friend, S, made for me. Thank you very much, friend. Yeah, I’m only 20 years old!!! Hahahaha, just add another 20 and that’s how old I am. Age is just a number and that’s about right. Why I say that coz I sure [...]
Can’t remember when was the last time I had Penang assam laksa. I think I had a bowl during my last trip in 2009 but I seriously could not remember!!! Losing my mind already. My goodie two shoes sister was in Penang during her kids’ 2010 end of the year holidays. She sent me a shoe box filled [...]
Thanksgiving is tomorrow. We will not be going to my BIL’s since the weather is going to be very bad. Even BIL said don’t hit the roads. So, we are having our own Thanksgiving dinner. I received an email from my RCIA program director on Monday telling me she left me a Thanksgiving basket and [...]
Winter finally hit us on Friday night. During the day on Friday, it was just gloomy, typical of a November day in boring Minnesota. I had Chase fetching his frisbee and he was loving it. The temp was still in the 40′s but a drastic drop from upper 60′s F to 40′s F. I think [...]
We finally had our first frost on Sunday. The more frost days, cooler nights, mornings, the better. The cold will kill all those damn bugs. Can’t wait to get rid of them. The skeeters are still out in the evenings – in full force. Back to the Sunday morning, I knew the temps will drop [...]
Here is a picture of our communal mailbox. Our building is located directly behind the mailbox. It’s nice to have an outgoing slot which is below #12. The bottom 2 boxes, below #8 and #16 are for parcels. If there is a parcel for us in one of those boxes, the mailman will leave the [...]
This picture was taken one of the days last week on my way home. I was on 35E heading south. I know, I’m not suppose to fiddle around with stuff while driving….blogging material mah! Traffic was not too bad considering I left later than my usual time of 2:30. Once I merged to join the [...]
Remember my colonascopy procdure back in March? Yeah, that many months ago. My medical insurance did not cover the entire procedure because it did not meet the deductible for the year. Why it didn’t cover the entire thing although my doctor asked for it during my annual? Coz of my age…..not 50 yet they said. [...]
Two mornings (dawn) ago I was out walking Ranger and bumped into a cayote or is it a red fox. This time around I know it’s no joke…cayotes or red foxes prey other smaller animals and I have heard of domestic pets are one of them. I saw this little bugger, smaller than I expected, running across [...]
