A little behind

When I began this post a while back I thought I would be updating it everyday or at least a couple of times a week. I was doing pretty well as it was easy for me to update during my lunch hour or a quick break from work, but then the site was blocked and it seemed that when I got home after being on the computer all day the last thing I wanted to do was get back onto it.

This year I hope to be better about updating at least for me...cause the more you think about it, a blog is like a diary that you can look back on.

The start of this year has been slow. I thought about making resolutions, but then never did. I thought...yeah, I will try and drink green tea instead of coffee every morning, but then the first day at the office came and I just had to go to the cafeteria for some caffeine (the elixir of life as we like to call it in the office).

Right now I am making small changes like trying to

be better with my overall health and also trying new recipes and foods. One was brought on by a coworker who brought a nice little powder into work that you can sprinkle on fruit. She said that growing up in Hawaii they use it on everything. She brought back a packet from Hawaii for me and now I cannot get enough. It is called "Li Hing Powder" and is basically a plum powder. DELICIOUS and I found out that some of the stores here stock it.

It is best on Apples:

This week we have also tried to catch up on Netflix and here is a sampling of what we saw:

Valkrye - didn't care for it, depression set in after the film

500 Days of Summer - Good soundtrack, like the actors, depression set in after the film

Unmistaken Child - Great documentary, would recommend

Movies we have coming soon:

Inglorious Basterds

Whip It

We shall see if the depression after films stops with some of these new films on the way. Hope everyone is seeing dramatic improvements in whatever they would like improved for the New Year! - Ok, after sentences like that I should call it a night. :)

New Year - Better Posting

Oh my gosh!!! I will soon be updating this a lot more often. Got a Xmas gift that will make it most easy to post. :)

Hope everyone is having a fabulous Holiday and Cheers to a fantastic New Year!

I think I might be so busy over the holidays, the next time I post will be 2010.

Watch the wonders of our cat

People often think this is not possible, but our cat actually likes to have his claws clipped!! Watch as Woody has his spa day:



In other news, this weekend we went on a behind the scenes tour of the MOCA museum. They really showed us everything including the permanent storage and the non-public library. Pretty cool. We also enjoyed lunch at Clifton's Cafeteria which was a strange place that has been open for lunch in downtown LA since the 30s.

Long Time been gone

Argh I know I have not been keeping up with updates lately...hence the reason I never joined facebook....I would never update.
Things have been pretty dull around the ole homestead. My parents came for a fast visit which was great and I miss them already. We are gearing up for a visit from Jon's brother tomorrow night.
I have been doing little homey things like baking bread and tonight I spent about an hour putting teak oil on one chair...yeah...one chair. Many small sections on that one chair.
I am not sure if it was the busy factor being away from the gym, or the fact that the hammock had been dried out in the sun for the last three years, but I heard a tiny rip rip ripping and found myself on the ground. :(Fourth of July was spent at the beach and then watching the fireworks from our friend's rooftop. We ended the evening with some sparklers.I think I will cap the evening with a lime fruit flo jo and call it a night. Hope all is well with everyone.
