Our Thanksgiving

By | November 28, 2008

Thanksgiving day started off smooth.  Btw, SD , BF and Ally were over at SD’s mom’s home for Thanksgiving.  So it was just DB and I for Thanksgiving.  Maybe next year’s? There was not much to get ready for our meal.  (I cooked the greenbean casserole and baked the pumpkin pie the night before.)  DB [...]

The boxer

By | November 22, 2008

Here is this boxer that loves to bark his brains out each time I walk past his territory.  I tried to go nearer to take a picture of him but his barks were louder and fiercer, so I stepped back. He has the shock collar on him which I know works.  THere a few times [...]

Just a few rambles…

By | November 22, 2008

I thought i wouldn’t be writing any posts since I’m on vacation.  Well, I am writing one this evening.  I got back from work at Satay2Go, stinking of restaurant big time, took a shower and harassed DB a little.  The boys, surprisingly, the older two were bugging me to take them out for a walk.  [...]

Vacation has started

By | November 21, 2008

Yeehah, I’m off the whole of next week all through Thanksgiving.  However, I will be going back to my office to pick up the free turkey on Tuesday.  Yep, the company is still giving out a free turkey for all of their employees.  THis freebee is just for this particular location in the US.  Plus [...]

I just got done ordering a new laptop for my coworker.  Her old faithful lappie died on her this last night when she brought it home to get some work done.  Once she got it started, the laptop konked out in a blink of an eye.  She came in today, IT folks tried to save [...]

On my way home, I heard on the news that President Bush extended unemployment for another 7 weeks.  When I got home, DB asked me did I hear about the extension on unemployment the Prez extended.  I said yes for 7 weeks.  He said it is for 13 weeks.  I looked up this piece of [...]

The burnt Amish Friendship Bread

By | November 18, 2008

I got this recipe from SD.  It is very easy and sure is interesting.  She gave me the starter on Nov 9th and after 10 days of “brewing” the “starter”, I baked it today.  Below is a picture of the 3 separate starters from the starter  SD gave me, of course, after adding more flour, [...]

A free gift? Really??

By | November 17, 2008

Received this in the Saturday mail.  Free gift but is it for real?  It says no strings attached and it is worth $25 retail value.  Probably will have to pay the sales tax.  Well, I might have to go check it out the following week (burning some vacation hours).  If I don’t like it, it [...]

Sure looks like tomatoes, aren’t they?  Nope, they are sweet old persimmons.  They are so sweet and not too soft.  Just right. I had Leong get me a case of persimmons from the Asian store or warehouse, I’m not sure where he bought it.  But he got me this case yesterday and it only cost [...]

Longest hours at Satay

By | November 16, 2008

Yesterday was one of the days I have worked the longest hours  at Corrine’s; from 10:30 a.m. through 9:45 p.m.  She had no one to work the evening shift.  So I picked it up.  Earn extra pocket money. Good thing I slept in on Saturday morning and didn’t walk the boys.  If I did, I [...]

Here is a picture of Cooper’s infected paws and the lump that got DBs and I worried. I found out about the lump when I gave him a bath 2 weeks ago.  My first thought was the lump was those fatty lumps that are emerging from Ranger’s body.   They are harmless.  But a couple of [...]

Week in review

By | November 11, 2008

Can’t believe it has been one week since I blogged.  I’m getting lazier these days to blog.  Since I made my first pair of cloth baby shoes, I made two other pairs to perfect it.  They are just ok in my opinion.  I showed them to my friend, the Filipino lady who gave me her [...]

At last, it’s done

By | November 3, 2008

It took me 3 days to finally complete this pair of cloth shoes.  I initially bought fleece material and it was a major mistake.  Fleece is a bitch to sew.  Finally I threw the cut out fleece pieces and dug out the clothes I can’t wear anymore.  The sole I used my old pair of jeans as [...]
