The right recipe

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Db and I were having our dinner this evening, his cellphone beeped notifying him of a text message in his Inbox.  As usual he ignores anyone who calls or text us at this time of the day.  It’s our time. 

We finished dinner and dishes, I was getting ready to give the boys their evening treats, DB checked his cellphone while making coffee for tomorrow. 

Me:  Your girlfriend (SD) again?
DB: Yep. How did you guess? (Grining away)
Me: What’s new, she always calls you at the wrong time.
DB: (Reading the text msg) You know, she’s (SD) been whining a lot.
Me: Really? Because of her hormones playing tricks on her?  What now?
DB: (Reading from the text msg) “We are getting sick of eating the same thing over and over again.”
Me: Tell her it’s the same for us.
DB: OK, I will tell her exactly what you said.

5 seconds later….

Me: That was a quick response from her.  I bet you she doesn’t need to look at the keypad and punched the message out.
DB: No shit….(reading the text msg out loud) “We need new recipes.”
Me: Well, there’s meat loaf, beef stragonoff, chicken noodle soup…. (then cut short by DB)
DB: Will BF eats them? He is such a picky eater.
Me: Tough shit. What are you going to tell her?
DB: Well, the “bun” recipe seems to be doing good. (A deep laugh from him.)
Me: (Laughing out loud)
DB: Ok it’s sent.
Me: You really sent it?  Hopefully she won’t get mad (still laughing). Coz if she does, you won’t get a ride to downtown tomorrow for your attorney’s appointment! Her hormones may rob her sense of humor away, you know.
DB: Shit, no kidding.  You’re right. I  better call her in a bit.

(The “bun” we are referring to is SD and BF’s creation that she is baking in her right now.)

SD text her dad and said “That recipe definitely had the right ingredients.”  Way to go girl.  Anyway, DB called her and listened to her whine.  She just wants someone to liten to her whining.  She is cool with that “bun” thing and according to her, she is at 11 weeks today and is a size of a lime.  DB said hope it’s not sour! :D

Eliminate aches and pains with a Swiss ball

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Since I sort of wrecked my knees from all the years of running, I am itching to run again especially the weather turned colder.  Pretty soon the snow will fly and that is when I yearn to run the hiking trails.  I have used ice packs for my injured knees but it is not helping much either from me doing jumping jacks and Tae-bo.  I know I should buy knee straps or knee guards for my knees, but I thought it would heal by itself in due course by not pounding on the streets or trails.   My friend recommended I should use the Swiss Ball to do my floor exercises instead of Tae-bo and running.  I can do my Pilates using the ball, too.  The ball is great for balance, flexibity, and improves posture.   It also helps with treating back pains and strengthening the core muscles.  I will have to replace my old ball with a new one – a bigger one.  I am using the old ball now as a chair in my home office while I am working at the computer.

I’m a recluse~

You Are An Introvert!

You’re not necessarily anti-social, but you do tend to need a lot of alone time.
You tend to think before you talk, which doesn’t make you the loudest person in the room.
While you aren’t outgoing, you are a good listener – and you tend to be a loyal friend.
And you enjoy your friends as much as any extrovert does, in smaller doses.
You’re more of a conversation over dinner type than a party animal… and so are all your friends.

Are You An Extroverted or Introverted Girl?

This is so true.  I can be stuck in the house for a long time and not talk to anyone.  Even at work, I don’t talk a lot unless someone I know approach me and initiate the conversation.  I enjoy going out with friends but when there are occasions where there is a new face in the party, I tend to be more quiet – gotta access the situation first before I open my big mouth! :D

Payday loans

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Do you need quick cash in between your paychecks?  Waiting for the next paycheck can be gruelling sometimes especially if you get paid once a month.  If you need cash in between your paychecks to pay bills, go on vacation, pay for home improvement needs or medical needs, you might need to consider Payday Loans or cash advance.   For some folks, they might need the extra cash for a special occasion, i.e. anniversary, birthday, or just a celebration.  PayDayLoanQuotes.com enables you achieve just that whether it is only for $100, $300, $500, or $1000. 

It is easy to request for cash advance through PayDayLoanQuotes.com.  All you need to do is complete the application online and a payday lender will contact you and access the information you have provided.  Once your application is approved, you will see the monies in your stated account.  You might ask how to pay off the loan?  Well, you can either pay it off in a lump sum, or if you renew it, all you need to pay is the interest and fees or principal which ever you choose.  In addition, if you do not do anything with the loan, it will renew by itself.  And of course if you pay off your loan early you will save money on your interest.
