Smart Moves

Yep, last Monday, I had my appointment for MRI. So, I decided to wear something comfor-y.
I worn light blue sweatpants but with cute top that blends the color pretty good with my pant. I added a very thin black sweater with v shape. I took the light blue fleece jacket. I don't wear or carry anything that's metal expect the zipper from the jacket. That will keep me warm while I'm outside and I can take it off if I want too and still able to wear cute top that has short sleeves. Yes, it is all "layers"! I can put on extra for keep warm or take off all those extra to keep cool. Either way, I'm comfortable. Last, I wear white tennis shoe. That's most common for nurses to wear around. So I figure it might be wise instead of wearing black pair of short heel shoes.

I did imagine it would be similar like x-ray since I knew I couldn't carry anything that's metal. Only thing I have to take off is my glasses and hearing aids. It's a good thing I did. I remember I have to take off blue jeans because of the button itself that can't be mix with x-ray.

As I arrived, I was asking all those questions relate to implants (including cholar implant(sp)). I was like geez why does she asked me that. I told her there isn't no major surgery that's incluing this. Something tells me that she doesn't believe me. Anyway, the nurse said it is fine what you were wearing so you don't have to worry about changing... WOOHOO!! I hate the idea of taking off the clothes and putting on hostpal grown. It's very annoying.

As I went in and saw the chamber. It has small round where you lay down and your body go in. GOD! It's so small even my elbow can touches the chamber's wall. At first, I thought my whole body is going IN. I was kinda relieved that it wasn't happened and that it is just up to my neck. But still, almost the whole of me is in that small chamber... Ah man! I didn't realize it was that small. I admit it does makes me a little bit nervous but I manage to closed my eyes to think about something else. As I waited and waited.... Oh before I went in, there's a small ball where I can squeez whenever I needed to plus there will be loud noise but chances that I wouldn't be able to hear but I might feel the vibration. Which I did feel the shaking as I was laying down. It's soft and comfortable and I'm so glad that I was still able to wear that fleece light blue jacket because it is extremly cold in that room. It is so cold that my feet are freezing even I have my white tennis shoes on.

Patiently, I waited and waited. I can move my head turning right to left. That's all. I looked at my mom and I asked, "How long do ya think that would take?" My mom went "Ssshhhh, ..." I don't understand her the last statement. I find it so annoying to lay down too long. Finally I came out. I found out that it took 20 minutes long. Geez, they didn't mention that. I almost panic but I manage to focus on my breathing and continue to counting seconds... One Thousand One, One Thousand Two, One Thousand Three.... and so on. I lost count and went back from begining again. Haha. Who cares as long I stay focus on something else.

Well, I will find out more about it this Friday or this Monday....

Guess what,... there's another good news. I would be able to get VP this week or next week. (for those who doesn't know what's VP is. It's Video Phone. What ya see the futuric when a person talk to other person thru tv screen. Well, it's here and for us deaf people are able to get it free. It's nice, isn't it?) I can't wait to talk to several people I know that from different states and again, it's free, too. Hee hee. I can chat as long as I want to or until one of us have to hang up. LOL. I can't wait to chat with all my friends. It is something to look forward to.


Mmmmm anymore news?


Nothing I can think of so far...

10 top odd hotels.

MMmmm I would love to visit almost all of them. I wouldn't visit the ice-built hotel. No thanks, I'm not interesting to sleep on ice-bed. Haha




My first choice would be #9


9. Wild Canopy Reserve, IndiaWant your next holiday to really swing? Branch out at our favorite arboreal dwelling, the gorgeous Wild Canopy Reserve in southern India, and get a bird-eye's view of elephants, leopards, and even tigers roaming the deciduous forest below. Tucked away high in the treetops—at more than 41 feet above ground—you'll be well placed to admire the majestic wildlife gather 'round the watering hole. Happily, you needn't forego your own watering hole for the experience; these rustic tree house accommodations are indeed equipped with toilets and running water—there's even an outdoor Jacuzzi on the grounds that's a perfect spot to relax between trekking and safari outings.


My second choice would be # 5


5. Taprobane Island, Sri Lanka If seclusion and romance is what you crave, it doesn't get much better than a fabled Palladian-style mansion set on a 2.5-acre island. Built by a count in the 1920s and visited by kings, queens, and aristocrats, this dream vacation home can today be rented by anyone seeking a fairly-tale experience. Reachable only by wading through the shallow waters of Weligama Bay, just off the Sri Lankan coast, the octagonal-shaped villa boasts five en-suite bedrooms, shaded terraces and verandahs overlooking the Indian Ocean, tropical gardens, and a dazzling infinity pool. In a far-off corner of the world (with only the Indian Ocean between it and the South Pole), Taprobane Island offers timeless luxury, staff at your beck and call, and the chance to make a fantasy vacation a reality.


My third choice would be "Hobbit" hotel. Haha, I gotta check that out.


10. Woodlyn Park, New Zealand If you're looking for truly off-the-wall accommodations, look no further than Woodlyn Park, in Waitomo, New Zealand, where three different motels—a 1950s freighter plane (said to be one of the last Allied planes to leave Vietnam); a 1950s rail car that sleeps six; and a hobbit motel (allegedly the world's first)—dot the landscape of a working farm a few minutes from the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves. You can choose to sleep in the plane's cockpit or tail, the train itself, or the circular-windowed rooms of the hobbit hotel. Woodlyn Park itself is also the beneficiary of some renown, given it hosts the Kiwi Culture Show, a unique New Zealand attraction involving sheep shearing and interaction with native animals.


My 4th choice would be....#6


6. The Lighthouse, North Wales Set on the Welsh cliffs of Great Orme Country Park, with a dramatic 360-foot plummet to the sea below, this castle-like maritime beacon dates from 1862—and served as a lighthouse until 1985. Its three distinguished rooms are, not surprisingly, blessed with stellar sea views, and evocative, seaworthy names like the Principal Keeper's Suite, the Telegraph Room, and the Lamp Room. Inside, traditional Victorian interiors, original pitch pine shutters, antique furnishings, and historical journals and photos combine to create an atmospheric hideaway. But, should you tire of the solitude, the town of Llandudno, with its pubs, restaurants, and shops, is just two miles away.


Last... I don't mind try number.... 7


7. Utter Inn, Västerås SwedenWould-be mermaids and mermen rejoice: The Utter Inn, a one-room hotel lying three meters below the surface of Lake Mälaren, about an hour west of Stockholm, will have you sleeping with the fishes. Reachable only via inflatable boat, the basic room (which consists of twin beds, a table, and panoramic underwater views of the lake) lies in the depths beneath a floating red house, and overnighting here is tantamount to spending a night in an aquarium. Should you need to surface for air, you can paddle across to a nearby uninhabited island and spend the day sunbathing, fishing, and swimming.


Anything else doesn't spark my interest....

Good News...

But first before mention good news, my dad's job offer 2 options. One is go to AZ for 2 weeks then come back for a week then go back to AZ for 2 weeks and repeat 2 more.... OR stay for whole 4 to 5 weeks FREE. That's right my dad's job is paying everything such as foods, hotels, and gas.... And my mom can go.

I can go too... Only thing I have to do is pay my own food. Of course, my parents will help me out on that, too.

That's a good news, we're going to stay AZ for a little over a month during mid-March to mid-April. *grin from ear to ear*

Now, I need to apply for off-days from the store... Mmmmm My mom said she hopes that I would be able to have my off-days that long. I told her if not, I can quit and come back afterward. Haha. There's one girl who did quit and work at the Mall and she decided that she didn't like it and then she came back to the old job where I work. She's re-hired. Heck! Why can't I? I mean many young girls are only work during summer then go back to school during fall and spring. Some young girls did go to work during holidays, too. So what's the difference? It's cheap pay, anyway. So, I don't mind do the same.

We'll be staying in the cabin nearby the lake. It has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. We'll take our pets with us. I know that Reese would love the idea to walk around the lake. I bet she'll tempting to swim there. The weather would be very nice during March and April. It's perfect timing when it's not so HOT like summer. We would enjoy more. There will be small town nearby but that's okay at least it is nice to have something change of scenery(sp?). It is a good chance that the cabin doesn't have stove but just small refridgerator(sp) and mircowave but that's okay. We used to stay very smiailier(sp) before when we visit North Carolina Mountians. Who knows, maybe there's a grill in the yard that we could use, too. Most likely, it would.

That's a great news especially for my mom. I know she wanna to get out of here for a while.

Finally!

After few weeks, Doctor office closed due to weather and trying to get approval for insurance to pay for the MRI on my knee (at least the nurse do all the dirty work. Thanks to the nurses.) Now, I have to call tomorrow or Friday to make an appointment for next week.
Update about my knee, it has been pain on and off. Right now, I do feel the pain earlier so I took the medication. My right knee had not really improved.

What's else is new? My dad is going to fly trip in AZ sometimes in Feb. My mom is disappointed because I get to go to Gergoria this Labor Day Weekend and my dad is going to AZ and my mom couldn't go anywhere outside of Texas. She'll go nuts, she said. Sorry mom. I wish there's someway that I could help her out but there's nothing I could do.

Meanwhile, our pets are doing okay. Reese is really happy about me being home often, now. She had been sad while I was gone. She's taking this personally. She got spoiled by me staying home too much from the begining. But still she a sweetie.

My family are doing okay, too. My cousin is going to have a baby. She already had 2 or 3 years old son and now she's going to have another one due in March. That reminds me of my friend who is going to have a baby due in March, too. I can't wait to hear when they are born and the names of the babies, too. I think it is so cute! Oh my cousin had already decided to find what sex, it's a girl. So, they will have a boy and a girl.

I did work very low hours at the store for 3 weeks now. The brace for my knee had really helps a lot. I wouldn't be able to work without the brace. Next week, I'm not working. Thanks to them, I think. I also work very slow this time. I did what I could do. I'm so glad that one of my team leader send the group to help on my dept once on the other day. That does help. And again on the next day with different team leader and the groupie helped me.

Meanwhile, I continue to walk with Reese for two days on my off days. I will not stop despite of my knee. I want to keep on my excerise so I can lose weight. Speaking of lose weight, my dad had to get on "rabbit food" so my mom is starting to cook more healthy foods. That would help a lot to give me the chance to lose more weight.

**Pat my back*** I've quit eating potato chips since Dec 2006 and drinking soda (including diet) for almost one and 1/2 years now. Total drinking cans (not bottle) 8 within 1 and 1/2 years. I've continue to drink tea and water. I've drink once in a while Crystallite flavors. I can't wait to lose another 5 pound this year.

Something else is funny

You wouldn't believe this. Haha

My mom have doctor appointment on the same day as my dad. It is different time but my mom don't want to take a risk of possible miss her doctor appointment. My mom could not go with my dad to the DR. I have to go with him because they are going to give some kind of testing. The doctors will give him a medication that would make him like "drunk" so I have to drive him home.

Here's the funny part, the doctor asked my dad if I am his wife. My dad quickly said, "no, she's my daughter!" I can't help but laughed. The doctor said "hey, it can happen. you'll never know." My respond, "Don't worry about it. Even some people thought that my mom is my sister." I can't help but thinking "Eeww"

But it is true that some young women date older men and some older women date younger men. That's what I heard. In fact, there's one about 19 years old guy is looking for older women, too. How do I know? Because I met him once and he asked me out. I can't help but thinking "Eeww, no thanks!" I try to be politely to decline. OY! It is not that easy.

Freezing rain

Yep, it has been very cold rain. The power went off at about 3:30pm and my mom is just half way finish cooking. Unforutately, we have to throw them away. Instead, we went out to eat for dinner. We found out that there's eletric power in Red Lobster. That's where we ate. Afterward, I took Reese for a short and brisk walk so she can easily to go to restroom. Knowing that we will be staying mostly in the house the rest of the night. She might need a little bit of help with a bit of excerise, too.

Meanwhile, the power is back on about 9pm or so, I started to do one more load of laundry plus my mom's clothes. So, we have few more to wear something comfort-y and warm at home. There is going to be freezing rain late tonight. There is a good chance that the power might go off, again. It is something that I'm not looking forward to.

One thing I'm disappointed. I was so hoping to get out this week to force myself to explore a bit since I'm off this week but there is freezing rain and the bridges are on ice. There many accident happens on the bridges in Fort Worth and Dallas and highly recommend to stay indoor. There is tv news focus on accidedent happen on the bridges. *sigh* Look like I'm stuck at home for a while. It is safe that way since weather news mention that it will be like that all week. All nights this week would be about 20 degree. *bbbrrrr* Sound very ch-ch-ch-chilly.

Oh, ever see ice on trees, bushes, and many different things?? Oh man, I remember when there was very icy back in South Carolina and the sunlight hit those icicles. Oooohhh so beautifu!! The way it so glistens and sparkles. You can see some rainbow reflection there. Its very breath-taking to look all those. It's looks like icy-winter wonderland and very fanasty-like. It's seem like a dream and yet so surreal. I better go before the power goes off on me.

Sleeting

There's heavy sleeting in TX and OK.

OY! I've been catching up my laundry and clean things up here and there. It's not that bad. Plus, I'm helping cleaning the kitchen so that way it's stay clean. My dad is also helping out plus go ahead and cook 2 different meats to put in refridated (sp?). That way, we can have something to eat if the power goes off. Lucky, we have snacks, cereal, boiled eggs, and couple gallon of milks. We're ready for power to go off... if there is one. Right now, our home is going okay. We still have power. I've already put down more down thick blankets. I know it is going to be very cold. "bbbrrrrrrrrrr" I didn't forget to have extra candles and a lighter. It's all ready.
We'll have to wait and see how is it going....

For those who living where sleeting and no power... Stay Warm!

How's going?

Nothing much for me. I went out by myself to Barnes and Noble. I didn't buy anything because back in my mind I have few more books that I haven't read, yet.


Meanwhile, Reese have allergic to certain lamb/rice jerky that we bought one and get one free large box and it cost like 6 dollars. Good price and we usually gave it to her. We might have thought that she has allergy outside but maybe both? So, I gave her the Benydral(sp?). Six hours later, she whined and shake her head. Her ear bothers so much she pace back and forth and continue to whine like a 2 years old. So, I gave her another benydral after couple hours, she back and being playful mood. She certain do have allergic to that food. So, we have to stop giving her that jerky kind.


T-T is doing good. He staying with us more often. He enjoys attention, too. Whenever he can get.


I do have one request. My mom, her diebatic isn't good. Her blood sugar is way too high lately. She went to dr. Dr. gave different and stronger medication but DR said that it would take at least 6 weeks before it would give better effective on her. Poor mom, she can't really eat anything much because of sugar is too high and yet she is so hungry. She only ate one healthy meal. Yet, her sugar is so high. So please send good thoughts and prayer to my mom. She needs that. Thanks for those who willing to do that.


Update about my knee, it is a lot better than use to be; however, the pain is still there but a lot less. I'm hoping my knee would heal up soon next week. If not, I'm going to check to see about MRI. I have to wait because nurse is trying to get my insurance approval for MRI. Again, I hope nothing serious.


Another news, I'm not working next week. I'm hoping to work one day a week or two but nothing. I don't know that is good thing or bad thing. One thing, I do know is that I do need money. My money is really cut short and I can't ask my parents this time for their money is short, too. I overheard their converstation. (I'm able to catch that once in a while). In fact, my parents do owe me some money and yet I haven't ask that I want it back. I choice to say nothing about it. I think they may not be able to.


********************************OFF Subject************************


CNN news:

There's a possible that Prez would get more young men to the army and there isn't enough men so chances that most of young men would be force to go. I certain hope not. I really don't think it would be better effective(sp?).


Also, about stem cells, I think the people should volunteer to donate stem cells and donate to research and not let the government involve. Let people choose what they want.

My knee again...

After 2 days worth of working, I'm wearing brace. Now that helps a lot better. Without the brace, I bet my knee would be too painful to continue for few hours. This morning, my knee seems not so much painful. My knee is slightly pain on and off but not so bad as it was the first few weeks. Seem like wearing brace and walking 8 hours for 2 days gave cure to my knee. OY! I never thought it would be. I'm so glad that my knee seems better, now.

I'm hoping that my knee would be better and all back to normal. I have to be careful by not bending my knee on the floor. I think that's what cause the bruise so badly since the floor is actually made of concreate (sp?, use for sidewalk). All floors are made the same because there's made of sands here in Texas, that's why they don't build woods. Anyway, maybe next time if I ever use my knees then I have to wear kneepads since all the weight go to knee and against the concrete would make it worst on my knees. Also, I've I bend my knees down to play with Reese all the time and seem like I have to stop using my knees or start wearing kneepads. I use my knees at work and bathing Reese.

Well, it's getting late. I'm not really sleepy but I better get going anyway. Maybe watching tv might helps or listen to music. Good Nite.


Quote of the Day: The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they are jealous of you. You mean the world to someone, and are special and unique. Always remember complimants and forget the rude remarks! ~Unknown~

I like that quote. I usually wonder why do people choose to hate me and didn't even know me. It is true that person(s) have jealous of me.

Drowning in hopeless

Well, I thought I never be able to find job. I even check out about "Contract" jobs. It is depend on which company. Well, one got me interesting but I found out it is all bullshits.

Well, I feel sooo..... I dunno.

So, I decided to explore more through internet. Somehow I landed in this Website... I use the copy and paste here***********************

Are You Feeling Isolated In Your Job Search?
If you feel alone and isolated in your job search, there is hope. No one has to, or should, feel isolated during their job search.If you feel isolated, perhaps it means you confine yourself to your home and spend all day searching for jobs on the Internet. If you have a strong feeling of isolation and disconnection from the world, perhaps today is the day for new strategies! Being isolated from the world is not healthy for your job search. In some cases this isolation can trigger the “blues” or varying levels of depression. Moreover, a job seeker functioning in this state of mind is not very productive and not attractive to employers. Here are five strategies I recommend to overcome isolation:

1. First, leave your home for many hours each day because jobs are not in your computer. It will be a miracle if you do land an interview due to the Internet. If you want great things to happen in your job search, then go where business people are... they are in their offices, at professional meetings, at conferences, at lunch, etc. Mingle with them, integrate yourself into the business world, be seen, and be visible. This is the best way to find a job and your feeling of isolation will diminish. Question: Where and How can I come up to them?? I mean, how can I approach while they have lunch at resturant? Or Ya mean show up in the cafetereia in the work buisness?? They do have cafeteria, or small place where to go to lunch.. right? Mmmm, I wonder, how is that possible? I really don't know the area. *sigh* Maybe I should get out more. So, I can learn more about my area.

2. Second, consider volunteer work. Select organizations you believe in and invest a couple of hours each week volunteering. It will make you feel great about yourself, you will have an opportunity to help other people, and your isolation will diminish. It’s a great tool to build new business relationships and network. Maybe I should go to volunteer by cut down my work hours so I have more time to do the volunteer. Mmmmm, There's a nearby Animal Shelter but is there another better way to volunteer?? I mean, what kind of company, there isn't one here. It is all shopping center around here. If I want to go to buisness that would be in Dallas or Ft. Worth but I don't know where are they and what kind of buisnness are they??

3. Attend professional meetings. A group of professionals with similar backgrounds and interests will be useful. They know what is going on at other companies and in their industries. They have connections you need. Become an active member in the organization, volunteer for projects, get involved in committees, talk with other people, follow up with other people you were interested in, etc. Be seen, be visible, and be active. Mmmm Again, how does that work? How can I partipate? Where can I go to and what company? Other thing, does it feels so weird to show up at the desk... "How can I be a membership here?" What's the best way to confront with all this? That doesn't seems right.

4. Form a career team of 2-3 people who can help you with research and administrative tasks, and allow you to focus on marketing and networking. Meet with these people regularly to discuss your job search, strategies, and ideas.

5. Use the telephone to connect with friends, family members, and others who can support you during your job search. These people may be able to provide you with leads and critical information for your job search. They can boost your spirit as well.Your primary strategy should be focused externally. Job opportunities will not be delivered via your e-mail account. These are just a few strategies to overcome job search isolation. There are many people willing to help you during your job search… connecting with people on a daily basis will be a tremendous boost to your spirit and job search results!
***********************************************************

Interesting, huh? Mmmm???

Sometimes, I don't always understand if I'm in the group. I feel so left out everytime I'm in hearing group. How in the world am I going to fit in if I don't understand them half the time. If there is ever one-on-one converstation, which it is very short one minute converstation would be hi and how are you and where are you from. That's it. Heck, I rather sit down and play Chess than having converstation.

Plus, I don't feel confident driving unfamilar area. These roads are so complicated than Eastern part. It is like I spotted something that I want to get off but problem is that I can't because I've alrady miss the ramp that was 20 minutes ago. It sure has very LONG ramp. The ramp is way in the back. While Eastern part, ya get spotted something and get off quickly to get on the ramp and to get there. And another problem there is very little or NO signs what they have before ya get off the ramp. While Eastern part always posted signs to let ya know what they have up there. Geez, what's worst? I know if I'm lost then I'm TOTALLY lost here. Unlike Eastern, when I'm lost... It is just turning wrong direction and all I have to do is to go back. No problem. I've done that many times but here.... It is IMPOSSIBLE to go back where you come from. The roads here are too complacatied. They're not make it simple like the Eastern. Eastern doesn't allow U-turn while here does. I ended up U-turn and I can't go back. I have to drive worth of damn 30 minutes then able to come back. Like I said, here's sooo complicated. It's wasting damn gas. And gas here are soooo expensive, too.

So, I think I better go back to Gergoria. I don't like it here, anymore. There is no jobs around here. If deaf people wants to move here... I'm not coming back ever again. I heard that Austin is popular place for deaf people lives there. I don't care. I just don't like it here. I'm willing to get lost in Gergoria than I am here. I'm willing to get lost in South Carolina, North Carolina, Virgeina, Washington DC, and Maryland. NOT in Texas. I don't care. pppffffffffftttttttttttt

Since, I'm going to visit Labor Day Weekend there in Gergoria, there is very good chance that I'm staying there and not come back. We'll have to wait and see how that's going. Opps, I almost forgotten. I better get that planned to happen to go to visit Atlanta, GA.

See ya!

It's really chilly here but no snowy.

New Year Resoultion

There is a new year card from the magizine(sp?) called "Soft Sorrounding". I liked her statement.

"Each new year offers up renewed hope and the opportunity to start over. Remember that putting yourself first is not an act of selfishness, but an act of love. For some of us, this doesn't come easily--we have to work at it. Time for yourself won't just happen, you have to plan it. Taking care of yourself will help you take better care of those you love.

You are special and unique, a work of art.
Make 2007 the year you believe it."

Searching job is a full time job

*groan* ***Warning Venting****

*moaning* I can't believe this. The more I search, the more depressing I'm getting. How in the world did ya able to find job? Every time I click on, I keep recieving anything that relate to buisness... Assistance Manger, and etc... Very few relate to science. If you can ever find any, there are usually master degree or p.h. degree plus 5 years or more experences. There are few sciences. I'm tempting to change my major. Or is it depend on where you are at? Since there is highest possible that my parents will move Tenn/KY (there's a borderline where my dad's work) So, I've already check out 3 cities of possible where my parents will live. 2 cities are smallest town, that means it is middle of NOWHERE. It is almost exact the same thing back in NC the smallest city only have one Wal-Mart. That's it. There's few fast-food resturant and few local resturant. Most boring place ya ever live in. Yuck! If ya wanna go to biggest mall and city is worth of 2 to 3 hours of drive. What's worst? I couldn't find job there, either. 2 cities that I've checked have no jobs offer. One city is slightly bigger than other 2, only have 5 jobs offer online. Oh great! Just F&*^ing great. What else is new? Geezzz Talking about more depressing around here.

So, I decided to check out more for Atlanta, GA. I found ONE! Geez, it is just ONE. I have already apply since I know my closest friend live there. She even invite me to stay at her place if I ever feel like I need to get away from my parents. (I almost did in few times.) So, think I'll ever get that job? I may have to call to contact that person since the job doesn't offer relocate but that's okay. I have a friend to stay. I'm willing to fly there as long as there is a 85% chance or more for me to get hired. *finger crossing*
*****************************************************************************
Here's a story... Since, my dog Reese barked through the window bothers me and my parents. So, I've decided to put her in the office. Office is in the back of the house... not the front where she tends to bark. Few times, I checked, I spotted a cat. She barked in the middle of the night at the cat outside of our yard. Geez, that's annoying. So, that's why we feel that it is okay to put her in the back of the house. If she ever find something to bark at the backyard which is rare. Plus, it is not so loud enough to wake my parents.

Anyway, now the cute story that my dad told me today, my dad is usually take Reese outside in the early morning before he goes to work. He always put Reese back in the office. This morning my dad forgot to close the office door. Apparently, Reese creep so quietly while my dad fixing the coffee. By the time, she pass the island counter, my dad saw her butt and tail. My dad said in soft voice, "Reese, go back to the office." She froze but wouldn't move. My dad waited few more seconds, then "Reese". She is just standing there. "Reese, go back to the office" Finally, Reese turn around with her head drop and walk normal back to the office room with clicky sound from her nails. Now that's so darn cute!! LOL

She's really brillant most of the time.

So, anything else is new? Well, according to my working schduale, I'm working Saturday from 2pm until closed. That's long 8 hours or more depend on who able to finish early at work or not. I can't stand and walk more than an hour. I might be able to toldence for 3 to 4 hours... but not more than that. What's worst, I haven't heard from Dr. this week. and tomorrow is Friday. I dunno what's wrong with my knee until we have it x-ray and/or MRI. *sigh* I don't like it at all. Well, one thing that my mom is right... I will show up at work but if my knee is getting worst then I will have to leave early. I don't care. My health is more important, even I need money. I really need money and I'm bored, I really want to go back to work. I prefer more than that cheap payment hour if I ever find working other job plus not so much walking and standing. There will be some walking and standing but there will be sitting, too. That's why I'm searching. Where I work, there is no such thing to sit.

Hilarious

Aaaawww Man! I wish that there was video taping and send to Funniest Animal Video. My parent and I were watching tv upstair. Reese is with us. After few hours, T-T creep up the steps by the time he reached up to the top. Reese ran after him. My mom manged to stop her before she ran downstair chasing T-T. Meanwhile, I lightly slap on her butt and told her to stay. She had her tail under between her legs as she sit down. I am still stick my finger at her and told her "Down." So she lay down. I kept my eye on her with straight face and my finger is still pointing at her. My mom called T-T to come back. Few seconds later, T-T came up in between of my legs and "hissing" at Reese then took off. My parents and I are laughing. That was so funny! Reese was still look at me with sad face. T-T was sitting on my mom's lap. Then, I told Reese, "good girl" She came up to me as I petting her.

I wish that part was video when T-T came up between my legs and "hissing" at Reese. That was truly funny. *g*

Tom-Tom finally decided to get down and go to his favorite spot. Reese came up to my mom's attention. She looks so sad. She wants all the attention. She doesn't want to share. Like a siblings revival (I think that's right word), who competing each other for attention.

Meanwhile, I was watching Mathron (sp?) of Beauty and the Geek. That was really a good show to watch. My dad seems to like it because he usually go to bed by 9pm because he goes to work next day. It finished at 10pm. I told my dad that ya seem to like Beauty and the Geek. He said "it was okay." I said, "Uh-huh, if it was okay, ya would be in bed by 9pm." My dad said, "No, I said btwn 9pm to 10pm." My mom was supporting me, "No ya didn't say that, ya said ya going to be by 9pm to 9:30." I chimed in "9 to 9:30 ya going to bed but it's past 1o." He refuse to admit that he really like that show Beauty and the Geek. Haha. Because if he didn't, he would have gone to bed early and possible earlier. If he don't like it at all, then he would have gone ealier. Haha. I got him! *smile*

Oh, I almost forgotten. I did mention last time when I watch Dr. Phil. I was so looking forward to watch more about "Hate" in the house. Well, seem like the schudaule is very vague and I couldn't find that show. So, I didn't watch anymore of Dr. Phil. I was kinda disappointed. Dr. Phil doesn't seem give the clear schudaule sometimes. At least, I think so.

Anyway, It's 11:22pm and All Is Well! It's chilly and windy outside. Would be nice if it is snowy.

Happy New Year of 2007

Wow! Where the years had gone by? It sure went so fast in the blink of the eye. Whoa!

I couldn't imagine. I'm still alive here. Whoo-Hoo! Happy New Year!

What's your resolution?

I read somewhere best to do one resolution at a time. To make it easier to focus on one goal instead of tring cram it all up in last minutes. Often times the resolution would be losing weight and excerise and few common things. Funny, my resolution for past few years is to improve myself which I did improve a lot more than I could ever thought of. I only did one step at a time. I'm still have so much to learn.

Mmmm This year resolution would be finishing up few more goals that I haven't had started, yet. Well, I may not be able to reach goal by end of the year but my goal is get into processing. To continue to do what I have in my previous goal. This time it isn't improve for myself but something else. Of course, I'm still working on to lose weight and eat right as humanly possible. After Januaray, the celebration of foods are a lot less until Thanksgiving. Now that made it easier for me able to get back on the track. So far, I only have fewer soda a year (about 5 cans of soda a year). This past month of December which is the hardest part is potato chips. It is my favorite to eat with sandwiches. I finally manage to replace with carrot. It has been a month *pat my own back*

Oh another good news since I visit doctor twice, my blood pressure is back to normal. After 3 to 4 years, the nurse always kept saying, "your blood pressure is slighty high." every time I visit doctor's office. Geez... Haha, Now, my blood pressure is fine. Hoo-Yoo! That's a good thing. I can't wait to have my health back to normal. Soda, potato chips, and cheese are the highest salt and I love to eat and/or drink them. Oh, I did cut down some cheese. I'm not ready to quit cold-turkey, yet. Just give me some time, I'll get around to do that, too. *smile*
*******************************************************************************

I think I mention this before, my parents are consider to move outside of the city but within Texas. As long as it is 10,000 dollars or more would makes the differences. Sadly, No, it wouldn't. Only like 2,000 dollars different. So, instead of moving ourselves, we will wait for few years to move Tenn or Kentucky. Reasons? Well, my dad's job is in Tenn but it is very close borderline to Kentucky. So, my parents are comparing Tenn and Kentucky to see which one is better place to live relate with taxes. In Texas, the texas are so expensive that my parents couldn't afford and what's worst, they can't save the money for retirement plans because of the bills that they have to pay. So, they are living very tight sometimes, I have to pay to help them out, too. Also, they rather not to move somewhere in Texas because dad's company would not pay for them to move. If my dad is going to transfer to another job, then yes, the company will help them to pay for moving. So, they are going to wait for that. It would be a lot easier.

Meanwhile, I had chat few more guys online date. Those guy said that they can't move and expect me to move with them... Like Calforina, Iowa, and NYC. I was like, No thanks... Not only that my main question, "Do you share everything with your mom?" That's my usual question. They said "yes, I share everything with my mom and even go vaction with my mom and blah blah blah with my mom." I said, "wow, seem like you are very close to your mom." Those guys respond, "Oh yeah, thanks for notice, I love my mom." I can't help but wonder what about dad? Did they ever go in as couples? They said that they have father and they are married for like 20 years or so. I mean, my parents go out on vaction as in couple. My parents almost every Friday night their usual ritual is going to eat out dinner and to movie without me ever since as I was a child. And they are still doing it, today. Every once in a while, I do go to the movies with my parents especially if there is cartoon when I was a kid. Point is, I refuse to go out with "mama's boy". Half the time, I almost wanna say, "Why don't ya go and f#*#$% with your mom?" Geez!

*************Off the subject*******************
I almost forgotten. My parents had been talking about where will they live when they retire. My mom asked what do I think of Wyoming. That's far up the north. I was like, "no thanks" To me, I think that is the middle of no where. Mom said that there's YellowStone Park nearby. I said, "is that all?" I reminded my mom is like going to Blue Ridge Parkway. Then they thought about Florida. However, they checked out the prices are too expensive to live there. The houses are too high. My mom said there are at least 50 or more parks to go around to have fun during retirement instead of being so bored and they can have something to do. Oh they even talk about maybe move in other country or something. They have already discussing about retirement plans. Haha, I couldn't believe it. Time is nearer for them. I admit, it does feels weird. Time will fly so fast before ya know it like now. Jan 1st 2007. So, I dunno. I'm going to wait and see where will they move.
