Good Bye Angel

Some of you may have heard from my twitter account that I had to take one of the cats to the vet yesterday.   It was Angel, he was completely blocked and in critical condition.  He had to be move from the clinic to a 24 hour emergency center.  It was from there that I got a call last night at about 10:00 pm.  Angel had gone into cardiac arrest.  It was a shock for us as well as the doctors,...

Heads Up

I love headbands.  When I have like no time at all to do my hair but still want to look cute, I just slide on a headband.  The problem is that lately I seem to be wearing the same headband too much.  It’s a pretty one with pearl beads and I can wear it with just about everything.  And I have worn it with everything, and every single day this week.  The solution, these new headbands.  Basically,...

Weekly Recipe #4

Sad thing about last week’s recipe.  I procrastinated on trying it all week thinking that I didn’t have time to make it and I was just too tired, blah, blah, blah.  So yesterday when I finally found the time, I realized I didn’t have all the ingredients I needed.  Figures.  Now on to this week’s recipe: Cabbage No-Rolls They only take 6 ingredients to make, and it use cabbage which is great.  I recently scored a great deal on Napa cabbage, 39 cents per pound.  So with 5+...

10 Seconds

Just a quick tip today, in reference to SOPA and PIPA.  Google has set up a petition to urge Congress to vote no on these potentially harmful bills.  You can sign it here, it only takes like 10 seconds.  And if you have no clue what I am talking about, the link also has more details about it....

Weekly Recipe #3

Continuing on from last week (see A Little Miso and What's Up Next), here’s this week’s recipe: Curry Rice I found the recipe on Just Hungry, a site that’s a treasure trove for Japanese recipes and entertaining articles.  This does look like an easy recipe, however I will have to tweak it a little to suit my needs (I don’t eat animals).  Hope this one goes well.  As far as how the last recipe went, don’t...

Up to Twenty Four

My office opened up for the season this week so it’s been busy around here.  So much that I sort of forgot about making my new project list let alone posting it at all.  It is kind of important right now considering.  How in the world am I going to reduce my stash of supplies like I planned (see A Time for Change) if I don’t craft?  So here’s the new list. Project List #24 Doll clothes Black headband White...

A Little Miso and What’s Up Next

As I mentioned before, one of my resolutions involves picking one new recipe a week to try (see A Time for Change).  Last week I tried a miso soup recipe and I thought it would be useful to post it. As I said before, the recipe was on the back of this package of red miso paste. See what I mean?  The directions are simple and pretty much anything goes.  The problem I thought was the mention of...

A Time for Change

I know I haven’t been doing a good job about blogging regularly for the last couple of months.  It’s been what, two weeks since the last post?  The same old excuses apply this time, especially about being sick.  That’s what bugs me the most, it seems like I was constantly feeling unwell throughout the past year which really got in the way of everything.  It even got in the way of my pre-season training...
