TGIF.....

Yeah, that is how I feel after all kinds of tests and xrays. Weather is warm again and hopefully will stay that way for the weekend.

I am slowly getting to know my Nexus since I am not very technically inclined, I had to print the manual for it and there were 107 pages but I am learning a lot from it.

Since most of my friends have IPhones, I can't exactly ask them. I guess that is the price I have to pay for wanting to be different.

I have baked again and forgot to take pictures. I am sorting out my recipes and I will do a page of recipes that I use and are easy.

My travel catalogue has arrived and I will be checking destinations for my holiday. I can't make final decision since I am going for interviews and that will surely put a dent on my travel plans.

Enjoy the weekend.

Phone....

My Galaxy Nexus was delivered yesterday afternoon. I had a friend help me with it as my left eye was still bothering me and it is blurry. I will post later how I like it but it looks nice.

I also got two more interviews to go to......it does make me feel good that I am being considered. I did not think there will be lots of jobs out there.

I watched part of American Idol and there was nothing new. Maybe when they are down to 24, I will watch it.

This is it for a while.....

Warm again....

Yes, it is warm again but the roads are slushy. I am not complaining, just stating a fact. It is a bit annoying after I have just washed my vehicle and now this.

We will take this, so much better than -35. 

I have been baking but I keep forgetting to take pictures. I am thinking of what to bring to our next pot luck lunch. This time I have to bring main dish. I am debating between an asian noodle dish or paella.
It would depend on what kind of fresh seafood I can get on the Sunday I have to make it. I have to make sure I don't prepare something with pork as there are two ladies who do not eat pork...cultural or religious reason, I am not sure.

I might have to take a short break from blogging as I have problem with my left eye again. I won't know until Thursday but it is hard to read as it is a bit blurry. I hope nothing serious. I am starting to regret having the surgery.

I hope to hear from the recruiting agency about the job I was interviewed for, it would be great if it was offered. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Wishing everyone a great work week.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus....

Yes, that is the phone I chose. Hopefully, I made the right choice for me. One of the few things I have to get where I read a lot of reviews and asked people what they think. If after 15 days I do not like it, I can get a different one. Then I will be different, seems like everyone has IPhone.

I will get it this Thursday, it is being sent through UPS. I was lazy to go to a Fido store and get it there. It is a bit cold to be out and I did not feel like driving. Besides, it will only be a few days.

Next, will be the bundles for my cable. Now, I can personalize to the bundles I will watch, not just what is with the plan so I will take out the bundle for kids, sport bundle as I do not watch sports that much. I will get movie bundle (two different kinds) and time shift bundle where I can watch shows earlier than what time it is shown here.

A dare.......

On Thursday while two of the ladies at work and I were lunch at a restaurant, we talked about losing weight as one of ladies is lacking the motivation to lose weight.

So as a dare the other lady said that C and I will have to lose 5 pounds in one month and if we don't achieve that little goal, she would take us to the sleaziest karaoke bar and we have to sing. If we are successful, Y will have to do the singing.

As most of my relatives and some friends know, I do not sing even if my life depended on it. So no matter what, I have to do everything to lose the 5 pounds and I will lose as I am not ready and will not be ready to sing.

I think this will be a good way for me to lose the last remaining pounds. I better get on the treadmill now and start walking/running.

Enjoy the weekend, I will be busy trying to lose weight. Update later.

A nice visit....

Last night I got a call from my niece's daughter telling me that they are in Edmonton on their way to Lloydminster for a hockey tournament. They wanted to take me out to dinner. I am starting my diet today and it was kind of nice to have a meal before I started.

We went to the Sicilian Pasta Kitchen close to where I live. It was not a good choice. I do not think any of us was wowed by the pasta we ordered. I ordered the Linguine di Mare and not that good. The kids ordered canneloni and ravioli and nothing much to say about that either. The Caesar salad they ordered was quite good. A place I would not recommend.

Good luck to Victoria who will be playing in a boy's tournament and will probably be the only girl in the whole tournament.

So today, I start my 3 day diet just to kick start my goal of losing a bit more to prevent me from being put on insulin. I had my lab test last Wednesday and no call from the doctor so hopefully all is well.

Friday and start of weekend. Enjoy.

TV Watching.....

Last night was the start of American Idol but I just did not feel like watching it. I am sure they will be showing the really bad singers and funny ones. I will just wait for The Voice.

But Monday, I watched the new series, Alcatraz. It was ok and I am not sure yet if I will follow and watch it, I will wait for this Monday and see if I will really be interested.

I will try and watch a few new series and decide which I will religiously watch every week.

It will be another nasty day. I had been wearing my northern parka which is quite heavy but it is warm. It only comes out of the closet when the temperature is -28 and colder. I guess it was worse in Inuvik with blizzard and wind at almost 95/km/hr.

I have been checking up travel destinations to see where I would like to go next. Maybe escorted tour somewhere in Europe or Asia. I am waiting for a brochure I had requested. Has anyone been to an interesting place/destination lately?

In the meantime, I will try and keep warm. The weekend is just around the corner.
