It seems like the rain is back and fall is slowly creeping in. Even the days are getting shorter already. I guess it is time to start putting away all the summer stuff and start getting out all the winter jackets, dehumidifier, and thick blankets out from the storage. We had a pretty cold summer. Hopefully the winter will not be a bad one like the one we had 2 years ago.
Gosh, I really have no idea how many books and toys that Lil’ C has in her room. I was helping her clean her room today and she kept discovering toys that she has not seen for a while. Maybe I should get her a barcode scanner to keep inventory of all her books and toys. That way, we won’t be getting duplicates of anything! I think it is time to start donating some of her old toys away.
Ever since I stopped working, I have discovered the wonderful world of hobbies. Before I started getting interested in all artsy crafty stuff, I didn’t know that there would be so many interesting crafty finds out there. Nowadays with the internet, it is so easy to learn and discover new crafts. I have tried crocheting, quilting, sewing, baking, candle making and others. My latest hobby is jewelry making and I am loving it. The only problem is that it can be quite costly to maintain this hobby and so I am on a quest to look for wholesale jewelry supplies. Hopefully I will be able to reduce cost and indulge in this latest hobby for a longer time.
I am really bad about taking vitamins. Even though I have a whole drawer full of vitamins, I always forget to eat them. So once in a while I will clean out the drawer to get rid of all the expired vitamins. The last time I did that I even found some prenatal vitamins at the back of the drawer. Definitely time to get rid of them since my baby is almost 6 years old!! Anyone has a good suggestion on how I can remember to take my vitamins everyday?
This summer has been really bad for my body. Even though I am doing a lot of outdoor activities, I am also eating a lot which is a big no-no. I blame it on all the greasy fair food. I really need to stay away from the fairs or I will have to start looking for the safest diet pills available out there. Maybe it’s about time to dust off my Wii and start working on it again.
My dear hubby is a little obsessed with grills. I have no idea how many we have around the house. We have a gas grill, electric grill, charcoal grill and even a couple of portable grills. Please don’t ask me what we do with all of them. I have no clue because we usually end up just using one. The others are part of the garage decoration and for those just-in-case-we-might-need-it days. Sigh, I hope we don’t accumulate anymore or I might have to have a garage sale just for grills next summer.
The best thing about camping trips is that I don’t have to worry about ab workout or any other exercise. The whole camping trip is a gym to me. From loading the car, setting up camp to taking down the camp is a whole workout by itself. We also usually end up doing a lot of hiking and bicycling during the trip. We even did kayaking on one of the trips. But why am I still not losing any weight?
Camping here, camping there, camping everywhere! That is what we seems to be doing this summer. We have been camping almost every weekend. Since we basically hibernate the whole winter, we make up for it in the summer and just spend as much time outdoors as possible. Unfortunately my face is not too happy about all these time spend outdoor and I am not helping by not drinking enough water. I think I need to check out the best treatment for best treatment for adult acne
Two years ago we went on a cruise to Alaska and we had a blast. Since then, we have thinking of going on another cruise again. Lil’ C was only 3 on our first cruise and she had fun but I am sure that she will enjoy it even more now that she is a little older. This time we are planning to try a different cruise line because we heard that different cruise lines offer different activities. Royal Caribbean is one of the cruises that we plan to check out. If everything works out, we will go on our cruise next summer. Yippee..
Every summer, my house is in a mess because I always end up too busy to be at home cleaning up. In between camping trips and mini road trips, things start piling up around the house especially the laundry. This summer I got caught up on the laundry part but had trouble keeping up with the folding and putting away all the clothes. So when I found out that I had out of town guest coming this week, I was cleaning like crazy these past few days. I did manage to clean up the house but I am so exhausted now. I am sure that I will not need any sleeping pills to help me fall asleep because I am going to be sleeping like a log from exhaustion! But at least my house looks so clean now. If only it can be kept this way for the whole summer.
