I'm a baka.

Oh my God! I'm such a baka *idiot in japanese*. I just made such a stupid/big mistake! I just commented on someones' blog thinking it was someone elses' blog. Maybe I shouldn't read blogs at 3am. So sorry! I'm going to bed! Ciao!

Yummy Yummy Dinner

Here is a picture of my yummy, yummy dinner! Why am I sharing this you ask? I don't know, it just looked so yummy in person, I had to take a picture and thought "why not share this w/ my non-readers?". lol *this will probably be the 1 time someone will comment but then be freaked by my dinner pic....stay reader...i promise no more dinner pics...no matter how yummy looking* So, enjoy? Ciao!!

Yummy dinner consists of pizza rolls & shells n' cheddar! Yummmmmmmmmmy! Ciao!

Windchimes

I got a windchime for my blog! How cool is that? I love it! There's a little button to the page down at the bottom right hand side. The site is in Japanese but you can translate it to help ya bring the windchime to your page! (that's what i did) I love that translating button! But, I love windchimes! I don't really understand why stores only sell them at this time of year. They are soooooooo peaceful and perfect year round. I'm sure they sell them all year, but they only put them on sell at the beginning of spring. I don't think there is anything more peaceful in winter then when you are outside while it's snowing and you hear the windchime! Especially if your busting your butt to shovel the snow. The sound of the windchime just makes you pause and reflect on the peacefulness of it and the beauty of the falling snow! Our windchimes are hung up outside year round. They are so very peaceful and now I have that peace on my blog! Enjoy! Ciao!! ^_^

New Template

How pretty is my new template? I got use to having a black background but I wanted something a lot prettier & when I saw this template, I had to have it! I love butterflies and it doesn't overpower the blog. You can still see the posts and that's what's important! Ciao! ^_^

My iPod skin has arrived!

I ordered it off of ebay, from Hong Kong! It was the cheapest way to get a silicone skin for the iPod! At Walmart, where items are usually cheap, the still wanted $12.99 for a 2-pack silicone skin, which was cheaper than Meijer. They wanted $19.99 for the same 2-pack skin! Off of ebay, I got one, which is all I need, for only $1.99!!!! You cannot beat that price! It's a really pretty color too. Here's a pic!

It's a pretty light blue, like Sky Blue! It looks darker in their ad, but I still love it! I put a link to ebay, where you can order it for an iPod Nano if you want one. The shipping is even fast considering it's coming from Hong Kong to the US. Ciao! ^_^

Rainy Day & Night

Spring is definitely here! It's been raining on & off all day! I love the rain eventhough it kills my sinuses! Actually though, I haven't been feeling it today. Knock on wood. It's suppose to rain tomorrow too. I hope it does. Days/nights like this are perfect for just lounging, listening to music/rain & sipping coffee. Perfect! Ciao! ^_^

Moon in Trees

Same morning but on the other side!

Is that not gorgeous!

Ciao!!

Sunrise

Easter Sunday morning! I'm hardly ever up at this time and I went out to get the newspaper and to call Monique some more. When I saw this sunrise, I literally stopped in my tracks! It was so gorgeous, I had to run inside & grab my camera so I can take some pics! It's beautiful!

The white dot on the above pic, by the tree, between the 2 power lines, is actually a star!

The star shows up in this pic too! So lovely & beautiful!

Ciao!!

Bath Time

We have 2 cats here...Conan o' Brien & Monique Katrina! Well, on Saturday night, somehow Monique got out and was gone for almost 24 hours before meowing at the back door to come in. So, today I decided that maybe we should give them both a bath just incase of fleas or anything else! Here are pics of the cats after bath time! lol

Monique laying on mom's bed after drying off for a bit. She still kinda looks like a hedgehog!

Conan still in the bathtub. I'm surprised he actually stayed in there long enough for me to get my camera so I can take the pic!

Conan again, hiding under the loveseat! So cute!

Ciao!!

Very Sleeeeeeeeeeeeepy!

Good night! -_- Ciao!!

Is this normal?

My cat sleeps like this alot and was wondering if it was normal. It looks painful to his arm but he never limps!

That's his left arm sticking backwards. I'm serious!

There's a close-up of his paw sticking out! Strange cat! lol ^_^ Ciao!!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter Everyone!! Hope you all had a great Easter w/ your families!! Ciao!!

Hello!

Hello all! Things are pretty much the same in my house since last post! I really need to get my ass in gear though and start exercising! I'm just sooooooooooooooooooo damn lazy it's not even funny! Does anyone out there have any tips to get my ass in gear? If so, leave them in the comment box! Thank you! Ciao!

Animal Crossing: City Folk!!!

I have it and I love it!! Here are my likes and dislikes of the game!

Dislikes (let's get these out of the way)

1. you can't add codes like in the gc version, it was so much easier & quicker to get the furniture sets you wanted.

2. i wish there was more to do in the city like maybe a casino, like they have in "my sims" for the ds. if it can be done on ds, i'm sure it can be done on the wii.

3. i wish there was more interaction w/ the animal folk like having bestfriends and go shopping together...ok, i don't know but it would be more fun, right? or, even changing THEIR hairstyles like in "my sims" for the wii. i mean, for crying out loud, the bus driver, Kapp'n, is always hitting on my gal but you can't have a bestfriend...lol

Likes (more like loves)

1. i like the way the town turns like in the wild world, which surprisingly, i didn't care for as much as this version and the gc one.

2. i love the way the moon reflects the real-world moon, the phases and everything.

3. the night sky is amazingly done, the way the stars twinkle and how it changes colors is so cool.

4. i love how you don't have to have anyone visit to get upgrades or places added to your town or city. that was always kind of a pain to me.

5. if i was doing these in order, than this one would definitely be number 1. YOU CAN LIVE ANYWHERE YOU WANT!!!! well, not exactly anywhere but you have 4 houses to choose from and they're spread out around the town...mine is on the beach! I didn't mind the gc version 'cause it was nicely done but the chooses are so cool! The ds version, where you shared one house was for the birds! I hated that! Especially, since it was me and my brother sharing the house and our styles clashed! lol But, the wii version takes the cake! A house on the beach, I always wanted one and while it might not happen in real life, at least I have it in "Animal Crossing: City Folk".

I definitely recommend the game for anyone, especially if you loved the gamecube version. It's a nice simple game w/ so much to do, collecting bugs, fish, artwork, fossils, furniture, etc... I have some pics of my gal and town.

There is my gal, Sylvie in her town of Villa...lol The full moon kinda reminds me of a panda face.

Sylvie in front of her house, just steps from the beach...lol


Sylvie in her house after the first upgrade, still need more space.
And, in the attic. I wish you could change the carpet and wall but at least you can change the bed. That's a 'bun wig' she is wearing. I got it from Able Sisters shop. It came in brown but my gal had pink hair so the wig turned pink, which is awesome...I love that wig!

Sounds like an oxymoron to me!

This post ties in with the one "This takes the cake." about the feminists being mad at the video game. I know, it's still funny! Anyway, doesn't "feminist gamer" sound like an oxymoron to you? It does to me...big time! I mean, there aren't many video games geared towards women. The two most major games in my life, which I had since I was a kid on various systems involved a guy rescuing a princess. Yes, I'm talking about "Super Mario Bros." and "The Legend of Zelda". Two really great games, but they both seem like games that feminists would not like. I don't know, it just really sounds like "feminist gamer" would be an oxymoron. What do you think?

Side note: I still have never beaten "Super Mario Bros."! I've gotten close in my 20 years of playing the game but never fully beaten it! I will have to do that one day! lol ^_^ Ciao!

My Sims: Kingdom

Since I'm on the topic of video games, I cannot wait until "My Sims: Kingdom" comes out! I know it's only a few months from now but I absolutely loved "My Sims"! It was so cool having to find all the essences and making houses and furniture! I hope this one has more character interaction though. The characters in the original always said the same things! And, even then, that's where the interaction ended. A little boring there but everything was so much fun! I also hope they have more places to move people too! I ran out so quickly once I unlocked everything! I signed up for the mailing list. Haven't heard anything yet but hopefully soon! That's all for now! Ciao!

This takes the cake! (pun intended) ^_^

This has got to be the funniest news story ever! Feminists are mad at a new game called "Fat Princess"! Why? I guess because they have nothing else to complain about this week! No, seriously, I think it's because the character is fat. It's stupid though. They complain when all the female characters are super-thin w/ big boobs and now they are complaining because she's fat. HELLO?!?!?!?! IT'S A GAME!!! I mean, come on! It's not real! It just makes all females look like whiny bitches and we're not! Go feminists, go find something important to bitch about and then maybe, just maybe, men and smart females will take you seriously! Until then, shut up and eat some cake yourselves!

Btw...I'm a girl and I find this story absolutely hilarious! Also, if you click on the title, you can check out the news story yourself! Ciao!

Another new thing!

One of my 2008 resolutions was to read more! Books not just magazines! So, I found this list of the 100 Greatest Novels of all time and started reading them! I've read 2.5 so far!

Animal Farm - technically I read this in grade school but I found it boring and I remember it, so I'm not reading it again. Four legs good, two legs bad! See? I know it!

Sons and Lovers - I didn't care much for this book. It wasn't bad but I didn't like the ending!

Tender is the Night - This is the one I'm reading now! I really like it! It's about this actress and her relationship to a couple. The guy is a psychiatrist and is married to one of his ex-patients. So, he can't leave his wife but has feelings for this girl. It's really good! Pretty racy stuff for 1934! I'm almost done so now on Monday I can get a new one!

I know 100 books seems like a lot but you can get all these books from your library and it doesn't cost you a dime! You can enrich your mind and save money all at the same time! What a deal!

Along w/ my exercising journey I will post about the books I'm reading too!

Also, if you click on the title of the post it will bring you to the list of books just in case you feel like reading more! There's two lists...I'm doing "The Board's List". Ciao!

Time for a serious change!

One of the biggest changes of the past year has been my weight and unfortunately I don't mean that in a good way! I always talk about losing weight and doing nothing about it but it is now time for a serious change! I am thinking about exercising all the time! It started about 2 nights ago when I was laying in bed. My mind was way too tired but my body just wanted to move! So, I decided that I'm gonna start writing about my journey here! I'm not gonna post my weight but I will say that I am someone who really needs to lose weight! Really! I honestly don't even know my weight...I take my measurements once a month and that is bad enough! I will post my inches lost though! I'm hoping that this will help me to reach my goal 'cause nothing else is! Who knows, maybe it will help someone else too! So, I'm starting on Monday and we will see from there! Wish me luck! Ciao!
