Just My Rambling

Last week, my DH who usually does not bother much about weight actually sends me a link about diet pills! Humph!! Is he trying to tell me something? When I questioned him later, he said that he was just being helpful since I have been trying so hard to lose weight but not having much luck. I guess I should trust that he has good intentions, right? ? I am finally realizing that the only way I can lose weight is if I can get DH to go on a diet with me. It is hard to be on a diet when your partner loves to eat and is always suggesting food all the time.

I used to be able to sleep a lot but now as I age, I guess sleep does not come easy to me anymore. Maybe it is the aging thing or maybe it is just because there is so much distraction in life that occupies my head. I don’t know the real reason but I am definitely not needing as much sleep as I did before. Maybe someday I will need to be checking out the best sleeping pills but for now; I might just try some relaxation techniques before bedtime. Maybe I should sneak in a weekly massage at the spa. I am sure that would be a big help.

The cell phone signal at my house is really bad. The signal is weak and my calls get dropped often. It is very irritating when you are in the middle of a conversation and all of a sudden, you get silence. I wish the cell phone company would do something about strengthening the signal in this area. In the meantime, I should just get a cell booster. Hopefully that will help to strengthen the cell phone signal in my house.

Every time when I go back to visit family, I usually ask them if they need anything from the US. The one constant item that they always ask for are vitamins and some over-the-counter cold medicine. Apparently those items are very costly where they are. This year, it is no exception. The wish list is the same. Vitamins and more vitamins! One cousin even included adapexin-p on her list. I guess she wants to lose weight this year. Next week I will probably need to head out to the health store to fulfill the list.

Besides spending a lot of time in the kitchen, I have also been spending a lot of time on the computer doing some mindless surfing. I have also been checking out reviews of certain products that are on our shopping list. I even peeked at the alli reviews just in case someday I might need help. It is amazing how much information is available online, whether good or bad. I guess it is to up to our own judgment to read all the reviews with a grain of salt. Some of the reviews are just off the beaten path!

We are snowed in again! This year has been a pretty eventful winter. This is probably our 4th snowfall and that is rather unusual for this area. Last winter we did not get any snow at all. This year we got a lot. Being snowed in is actually pretty fun. We skipped school, played in the snow, watched TV and just moped around the house. The only downside to being snowed in is the fact that I am going to need to get some weight loss pill if we are snowed in any longer. We keep wandering the kitchen to look for munchies and I have also been cooking a lot. Not too good for the waistline!

One of my resolutions this year is to try to a job. Since I am still a part-time driver to a little princess, I can only commit to a part-time job. Unfortunately in this economy, it’s hard to find a job that fits my schedule. So far, the only jobs that I could find that seems to suit my schedule are sales jobs which are definitely not my forte. Hopefully I will be able to find something suitable soon.

Fish is common displayed or eaten during Chinese New Year because the word fish in Chinese symbolizes surpluses or full of abundance for the year. So to all my wonderful readers who are celebrating,

Wishing you a very Prosperous, Happy and Healthy Rabbit New Year!!
