Inspired

I am inspired!

I have a new goal for 2009! It will be working on our backyard! I was looking at whiteonricecouple's blog and their garden is just perfect!! Now I just need to pull all the information together. This will definitely be continued work in progress.

Christmas Came and Went

CRY!!!

I return to work tomorrow. I can't believe Christmas came and went just like that! It's been so hectic for the past several weeks that I just have not had time to blog.

The little down time I do have is spent vegetating on the husband's futon watching anime. I am just exhausted and the work week is about to start again. The good news is that it's a short week. The bad news is that I think I will return tomorrow with a pile of work on my desk. :(

I feel as if I am moving 100 miles per hour nonstop. I think I need to take a break soon and give myself a little R&R. This remodeling stuff is just kicking my butt! The good thing is that it is hopefully wrapping up soon. The bad news - I have about a million other things I need to accomplish as well. I really can't blame anyone but myself. My biggest problem is learning to slow down...

I've been so busy that I haven't even had a chance to review 2008's accomplishments and areas for improvements as well as come up with 2009 resolutions. Cliche you say? Why yes it is but I think it's good to evaluate how the year went. How else can I improve and learn? It is self-evaluating. I think everyone should self-evaluate more often.

Anyway...that is all I want to post for now. I must return back to my contract work now.

Tea Time

I have a new quest. My new quest is to try out as many "high tea" or "afternoon tea" places as possible. :)

This was from Chado Tea Room in Pasadena, CA in September 2008. The scones and devonshire cream were to die for!
My tea drink: Jasmine iced tea. I know it's not English tea nor is it hot but I like it that way. Very refreshing! :)Christmas tree 2007. What can I say? It's the holiday season!
We will probably put up our tree sometime soon.

Life Update

Finally a chance to update my life. It has been a hectic few months….

• New 9 to 5. I made the decision at the beginning of October to find a new 9 to 5. I am happy to report back that I have made the switch! I originally thought it was going to take some time to find something different but lady luck was on my side as I was able to find a new place rather quickly. It is strange. I encountered different emotions as the final days approached. I must say that the emotions changed from being glad for a change in scenery to being sad for leaving the familiarity. My former co-workers were so sweet as I had free lunches practically every day of that final week. As one chapter closes, another one opens with new dreams and experiences…
• The husband and I are in the process of becoming landlords! This was a project in the making for four months going on five months. I won’t go into the mechanics but it was stressful! Imagine trying to close on a property and interviewing at the same time! Anyway, it is major fixer upper so we have been in the process of fixing up the property for the past several weeks.
• Well, we are finally in December! The holidays are quickly approaching and before long, 2009 will be here. It is time to reflect on 2008’s achievements and figure what are my 2009 goals. This blog is more than a year old now and I am glad I have kept it up (even if it’s not daily).
• Video selection = DONE!! I have completed selecting the songs and images! I plan to send off the information to my videographer tomorrow! Now everybody can stop bothering me about our wedding video!).

OK, that's all for now.

Paris Hilton My New BFF

Argh...I think I just killed some brain cells watching this show. (Don't ask me why I am watching this show.) It's on TV and I guess I am too lazy to change the channel. Can you really buy a new BFF? OK, stupid question, I guess you can but is it really a BFF?

Argh...now it's the aftershow. There are seven people on the aftershow including Paris. It looks like the stage is a bedroom and everyone is in PJ's. I recognize Niki Hilton and Paris Hilton's aunt who looks a little bit like Demi Moore. Oh geez...
