So many folks is asking me if I have put our Christmas tree up. The answer is yes, I put the tree up with some holiday decor, too. This is the only “tree” I can find. It’s sitting on my office cabinet. It is a gift from my coworker. The card was from my sister [...]
I went to the Mall of America yesterday with Nadine who thinks holiday shoppers should be a little more considerate. Even though it was a work day, the mall was still jam packed with holiday shoppers. Some of these shoppers are outwardly rude, so rude that they jump the line at the dressing room. I [...]
The holidays are around the corner and what with the bloody cold Minnesota, J, our neighbor, and his new wifey are heading out of the country on Monday. They are flying off to the Bahamas which is sort of their honeymoon, too. We had a chat with J yesterday updating us with of his work [...]
Yesterday was the coldest day I can remember since I have been here. It was -4F for the high and with windchills of -34F. So it actually feels like -34F out. DB and I were shoveling the driveway and the patio. Had to get rid of the snow on the patio coz that is where [...]
I was chatting with Pearly this morning on Yahoo. No, I didn’t re-install Yahoo Messenger in my pc at work. I used the regular chat box on Yahoo. Works good but the drawback is I cannot retrieve the archives. Oh well, can’t have the best of both worlds, can I? Anyway, we chatted about calling [...]

So far this winter is taking a toil on my face, that is the skin around my eyes. As it is there are lines and more lines from rubbing and pulling the sides of the eyes to get my contacts out. It’s so dry outside. Temps in the lower teens didn’t help at all. There [...]
I was tagged by Beachlover wanting to know 7 facts about me. This tag is so long overdue. I forgot about it till just now. I do not like parties, gatherings, socializing. I have never been a sociable person. If there are office gatherings, I will find an excuse or take the day off. I [...]
DB had a few job interviews already since last Thursday and this morning there were one each with the staffing agency and the company that is hiring. I am so happy and off course so is he. DB said the interviews went very well and had no problems with the questions they asked. All questions [...]
I went for a walk this afternoon with Ranger and I am very glad I do not smell the fallen, smashed up plums on the ground anymore. Along the street we live, there are a few Plum trees that the owners planted on his yard but they were closed to the road. The fallen plums [...]
Our company had a fire drill this morning. The temperature was still 9F degrees, cloudy skies, and we had to go out of the buildings, stand in the open parking lot for 10 minutes. Yeah, there were quite a lot of effenheimers flying around. The funny thing was the security emergency light located every 50 [...]
Pretty obvious what mood I’m in coz I changed my blog template to match my mood. I was out running some errands yesterday morning at Target. It was snowing when I left the house, light snow. I was in the store for about 30 minutes and when I looked out from the store while checking [...]
Today last year I was in KL celebrating this little boy’s birthday, my nephew, my sister’s youngest boy. It was also my honey’s birthday. They are both Pearl Harbor babies. Last year I didn’t celebrate DB’s birthday with him but today I did although we didn’t do anything special. He said it’s just another day, a [...]
I received this about 10 minutes ago on my work email, and the rest of the recipients were employees from Yamaha. I “X’ed” out the email addresses. Upon first look at the email, it read foreign to me, but after a few minutes staring and trying to read it, I was able to read it, but do not understand [...]
