Just My Rambling

Happy Mooncake Festival!!! Did you see the moon last night? It was a huge full moon. Hopefully it will appear again tonight and not disappear behind the clouds.  I love mooncake festival because I get to indulge in mooncakes!! They are so yummy. Unfortunately they are also very very fattening. Someone get me the best diet pills available, pretty please? I have absolutely no will power to resist the temptation of mooncakes. Have a great Mooncake Festival & enjoy your mooncakes!!

I’ve been so tired lately. I think I have too much on my plate right now. I’ve been working like crazy for a big event coming up next month. My body is not too happy now, so I have been feeding it some extra vitamins like fish oil and biotin supplement. I am sure that the lack of exercise is not helping either. I need to make sure that I try to use my Wii Fit at least once a day. Oh, I can’t wait for the whole event to be over next month! I need my beauty sleep back.

Fall is here. The leaves are starting to change color. It has been rainy and cold this past week. Oh yeah, summer is definitely over. This weekend I will have to start packing away all the summer clothes, sunblock and tanning lotions. The winter clothes will have to be taken down from the attic and washed before we can wear them. I am actually looking forward to winter but hopefully it will be a mild winter season like last year.

Diet and weight! Those are the two most dreaded words in my vocabulary now. We had too many gatherings and barbeque over the summer and I am feeling the after effects on my body now! Ugh! The upcoming winter months are not helpful either especially since I know I usually eat more in the winter. Anyone knows the side effects of phentermine? I need a lot of help in the diet department or I could just drag my lazy self to the gym everyday.

Do you read food labels? Thankfully Lil’ C does not have allergies, so usually I don’t pay attention to it. However sometimes I will check out the labels to see what ingredients are in the product especially if it is a new product that we have never tried. Often I am very surprised to see all the unfamiliar ingredients like glucomannan or something simiIar in the product. Unfamiliar things make me wary. That is why I try to cook for my family as much as possible instead of relying on ready made product.

I love living in the Pacific Northwest because it is full of awesome nature. On the left, we have the ocean while on the right, we have the mountains. We are surrounded by a very scenic landscape. I usually try to bring my camera along to capture the beauty whenever we go hiking or to the islands. Sometimes I wish I have spotting scopes to see further but the zoom lens on my camera works well too. I’ve gotten some very nice nature photos. Maybe someday I might find time to print them out and frame them.

I am so…… glad the weekend is here!! It has been a very long week and I am really tired. This week is the first week that all of Lil’ C’s school and activities are in full swing. Even though she is only enrolled in a couple of activities, the timing of the activities is not very ideal. So that means I am still spending a lot of time driving her around. Luckily I can bring my laptop along while waiting for her. At least I managed to check on car insurance rate one day and vacation spots the next day. Not a total loss of a week. Hopefully I will fare better checking off my to-do list next week.

Now that I have so much free time, maybe it is time to consider whether I need to rejoin the work force. I don’t even know what kind of job I should be looking for since it has been so long since I left the work force. I wish I have a medical resume because the medical jobs are so abundant nowadays. Unfortunately I don’t, so that means I will have to look just a little harder. With the current economy, I am not sure if anyone wants to hire someone who has been out of work for so long. I guess I will never know till I try.

Today was a great day! I had a whole six hours to myself since Lil’ C is now in full day school. It’s amazing how much I can accomplish when there’s no little one demanding my attention. I paid some bills, blogged a little and even managed to check file away some paperwork. I also managed to check out some cordless phone reviews because my poor cordless phone has gotten all weird. It has been a while since I checked out cordless phone or even regular phones because my current cordless phone has served me faithfully for about 8 years. Right now I have to decide if I should stick to a cordless phone or maybe a regular house phone will work. The cordless ones will be definitely more convenient. Since I have so much free time, I guess I will spend more time tomorrow to check all the different features of each phone.

Toys, toys, toys everywhere! After a long holiday weekend at home, my house has now become a toy shop. Have you noticed that as your kid gets older, the toys get smaller? Right now, Lil’ C is into Polly Pockets and those little Polly Pocket parts are so small that they get hidden under everything else. I am always finding little sunglasses or little shoes in between furniture. I guess Lil’ C will be cleaning up the house all week long this week.
