Just My Rambling

Ever since I came back from my vacation, I have not been drinking enough water. I think the cold weather is making me drink hot coffee instead. Even though I was away for only a month, I was in a very hot place. So now my body is having a hard time adjusting back to the cold weather and the hot coffee are a big help. Unfortunately that means I am not getting enough water. Starting next week, I will have to prepare a big gallon of water and make sure I drink it else even the best acne solution will not help me when my face breaks out.

My girl will officially start school this coming school year and that means it is time for me to start looking for a job. It has been 10 years since I left the workforce. Now I am a little lost as to what kind of job I am planning to look for. I don’t think that I will be able to go back to the technology field anymore. Maybe I should do check the Entertainment workers job search and look for a designer job or something similar. I am also hoping to just work part-time too so that I can be home for my girl when she gets off from school. Now where’s the classified?

As I was cleaning out my medicine cabinet, I discovered a lot of medicine especially vitamins that I had no idea they were there. I think my mom must have added them there when she came to visit the last time. There are hgh supplements, gingko and a lot of vitamins that I have never heard of. Some of them can still be consumed since they have not expired yet. I guess I should go check with my mom and shed some light on these vitamins before deciding their fate.

Just when I thought I am done with Chinese New Year baking, a friend invited me and some other friends over to her house for a baking session. Help! Someone get me some top fat burners!! I love baking but I think that my body hates me because I keep adding weight to it. I think next year I will skip all the Chinese New Year baking like last year or I could just have a stronger willpower and not eat so much!

Since I have not been sleeping well, I have been spending the time doing some spring cleaning. For the past few months, between holiday celebrations and vacations, house cleaning was the last thing on the list. So now it is time to play catch up. Sigh! It’s been 3 days and I am still cleaning up the kitchen. I guess I didn’t realize how much stuff I have been hoarding. I even found some prenatal vitamins in the medicine cabinet and the daughter is already 5! Eek! I guess that shows when the last time I checked that cabinet.

I am a little stressed right now thinking about my girl’s school. It’s only February and it seems like all the schools have February deadline for registration for September. Before I had kids, I thought it was going to be so easy. They are going to grow up, go to Kindergarten and then regular school without any problem. But now that she is at that school-going age, I realized that there are so many factors involved in making that decision. I would really hate to make a wrong decision that will affect her future! Hopefully I will get it all sorted out soon so I can have a good night sleep without sleeping aid. Maybe a talk with her current school teacher will be a big help.

How many of you have walked into a friend’s house and noticed that their fitness equipment has become a clothes hanger? I confess that was what happened to mine. After a few months, my nice new treadmill gradually became a bag hanger. The funny thing is that I see that happening in a couple of my friends houses too! Eventually I did get rid of my treadmill and since then I keep reminding myself not to get one even though I am so tempted.

For the last month, there have been snow reports everywhere. Even the midwest states got pounded by snow. Apparently it has been the coldest winter in many places except here. We have had the warmest weather in January in a long time. It hasn’t snowed in 2 months, even in the mountains. Normally that is not too bad of a news but with Winter Olympics coming up in about a week, the snow making machine has been working overtime!! Hopefully they will be able to churn up enough snow to make it a good Olympics!

It has been 10 days since we got back from our vacation and I think we are finally settling back into our routine. Everyone seems to be over their jetlag and all the bags have been unpacked. The Christmas tree is still up but that’s a different story altogether. Now I can finally sit down and sort through a mountain pile of mail and paperwork. Hopefully I won’t find any unpaid bills at the bottom of the pile. If and when I finally get through the entire pile, I might just have time to find find term life insurance here and maybe new car insurance too.

One of my resolutions for this year is to be more organized. Will it happen? I don’t know but I will definitely try my best. So the first thing I did was to try to organize Lil’ C’s schedule. All I can say is that she is a very busy little girl with school, play dates and extracurricular activities. I am thinking that I might even need a project management software to manage her schedule! Haha! I wonder if it will be better or worse once she gets into elementary. I heard that it gets worse! Hopefully that’s not true.
