Cold & Rainy

A perfect weather for a cup of that hot chocolate drink while curled up on the couch watching some TV, eh? Actually, it's also a perfect 'bed' weather. I wish!

It's been drizzling here all morning and I don't have much to do but blog. What do you know...I'm lazy to do even that. Blame this kind of weather for my laziness. Besides, my allergy is bothering me again because, yes, of the weather.

Yesterday was the complete opposite of today weather-wise. The sky was clear and Mr. Sun was happily out the whole time. That's not happening today though because the rain is said to be staying for a while. You just never know nowadays what kind of weather the day will bring. It seems Mother Nature just can't make up her mind lately.

Eye-Trick?

Just got this one in my email a few minutes ago. Looking at the picture up close, who do you see? Clue: a famous scientist.

How about if you move away from your computer monitor say....15 feet away. Who do you see now?
Clue: a famous movie star

Pretty cool, eh? I've seen this one before but I forgot to post it.

Beware of Identity Theft!

How cute are the pictures, eh? I got them from an email sent to me maybe 2 or 3 years ago and I still have them saved. I must have really liked them then.

Informercials

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was watching a TV show last week. The guest of the show on that particular day is John Travolta because he's promoting his latest film. John Travolta. I've only watched some of his films but I try to catch him whenever he is a guest in a show, especially talk shows. It's very entertaining to watch him during interviews that's why. He's funny and very humble considering his stature in Hollywood. What do you know, his last interview left me all the more entertained by him. He revealed during the interview that he likes watching 'infomercials'. LOL! Who would have thought that a millionaire like him would watch those cheesy commercials...and bite into them. Yep, he admitted that he actually bought a lot of what he sees in those infomercials. He does not deny the fact though that he tends to question the validity of what they're saying and wonder if they actually work they way the infomercials show. I wonder if he's seen an enzyte commercial and asked: does enzyte work? Maybe eh? I have never bought anything as a result of those infomercials but the husband said that he tried once. I'm not quite sure what he tried to buy but he didn't push through with it because they started doing the upsells on him. Oh well...maybe I'll try to do it and see if I can pull it through.

More than 1,000 visitors

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's what the statistic page in my Teacher's Corner blog showed anyway. How many exactly? How about 1,865? How did that happen? I honestly have no idea. It's not the first time I've seen that kind of stat in that blog and I'm just left baffled as to who would visit my blog. Look!

ETA: I am not actually convinced that Teacher's Corner gets that many visitors...seriously. I mean...there's just no way I'll get more than a thousand hit in that blog.

Magazine Subscription

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I used to have a couple of magazine subscriptions. I decided to stop one of them because I don't get to read them anyway. I actually planned in stopping both but I got an offer so hard to refuse, I continued with one of them.

There are still some interesting articles in the one I subscribe to as well as some recipes that I am planning in trying someday so I guess it's still worth it. One thing that doesn't cease to amaze me is the fact that in almost every issue of this magazine, it seems weight loss, diet, as well as anything and everything that have something to do with losing weight is in the magazine. From how to lose weight in just 4 weeks to adipex reviews and other diet pill reviews are found in this magazine. Some are good advice but some, not so much. I still like some of the articles in the magazine but I wish they limit the diet related articles to maybe one issue? Just a suggestion...

Supplements to Complement?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another weekend..yippee! It looks like we're going to have a pleasant weather today so I may go outside and feed my obsession. I'm going to WEED! Yeah! I wasn't able to do it last weekend because it was raining. Hopefully, it won't rain later today although it's started to get gloomy as I type...ugh!

The first week of February is almost done. Next weekend it's Valentine's Day already. The little one is excited about it. Actually it's only one of the reasons February is an exciting month for her. It's Dad's birthday month so she's been plotting something again for his birthday. We usually bake him a cake on his birthday. I also try to get him something that he won't normally get himself. This year, I really don't know what to get him. Well, on second thought maybe I know what to get him. How about some muscle supplements to help him with his ongoing weight loss? Good idea? I'm not sure though if he'll be willing to take them. Maybe I should start having a back-up plan just in case, eh?

Joke Time!

He said...What have you been doing with all the grocery money I gave you?
She said...Turn sideways and look in the mirror!

Fickle Minded

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nope, not me. It's not a even a 'who' but a 'what'. Mother Nature. Usually, women are accused of being fickle-minded. That's probably why nature is a 'she', eh? Last weekend until earlier this week, it was raining. It lasted until Wednesday. Since there wasn't a lot of work available, I spent my time sitting on my tush [so what else is new?] surfing online for who knows what. I had nothing else to do so I read anything I came across with including Conjugated Linoleic Acid or CLA. Yeah, yeah...I also didn't know what it was until I read about it yesterday. I read that if you want to add muscles and burn fat, CLA supplements should be taken. Interesting, right?

Anyway, yesterday, the weather was just perfect. Blue skies and the temperature went up to the mid-70s. The little one and I spent some time outside and took advantage of the great weather. Today? Gloomy. Thunderstorms. Rainy. Again. Tomorrow? Hoping it's going to be pleasant at least...and dry. I really want to weed in the backyard since those pesky thorny weeds are staking their claim in our yard already.

Losing Weight

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I lost 5 pounds!" That's what the husband told me earlier today. I of course raised an eyebrow with that claim...but it may be true and I think I know how that happened. Who needs quick weight loss diets if you work 15+ hours a day 7 days a week? That's basically his schedule for a couple months now and it will continue for a few more weeks. I'm guessing he will still lose some more pounds in the weeks to come because of his grueling work schedule. I guess this is another upside of this hectic schedule he's keeping at the moment. Hopefully, he will be back to his regular time after this project...and hopefully, he won't gain back those pounds he lost [and will lose] once he goes back to a more predictable schedule.
