Fat, fat, fat.

Ahh... it's no wonder I've been feeling sluggish and not my normal proportionate weight. Kam, Elaine and I have started Fitday food diaries to log what we eat during the day. Yesterday was my first day... I thought I was doing well, too. I ate a chicken tostada (practically a boiled chicken salad!) and a turkey burger and even skipped the fries and got a diet soda... and this is what I ended up with:



Holy cow... I almost half of the food I ate was FAT... over 100 grams! In one day! I'm pretty flabbergasted. (No pun intended)

Easy like Sunday morning...

No better way to spend a lazy Sunday than to stay in with the A/C blasting, eating last night's leftovers from Din Tai Fung (yay dumplings!) while carousing the town in Animal Crossing. I haven't played this game in maybe 3 years -- so I had to start all over from the beginning, basically rediscovering everything. This game is so addicting!

So far today I've completed all of my work for Tom Nook, paid off half my mortgage I have a shovel to start digging up some trouble. I am considering changing the system time to tomorrow so I can try for a fishing rod... this game is so much fun!

I let Steve create a character and he's starting the game too... he's addicted to shaking trees for money. So much so he walks around with a swollen face from bee stings.

This is the cutest game ever. :)

And I hear they're making a version for the Wii... yay!

Watch Dog

Since I've been parking on the street lately (Vina's car is parked in my spot) I've been walking past the side alley to get to the house. I give a little knock on the window to tell Lulu I'm home and this is how I'm greeted. :)

This lasts only a second -- as soon as she recognizes me she makes a beeline for the front door and waits there, no matter what I call out from the window. Talk about conditioning.

Happy Birthday Mommy!

I haven't had a chance to call Mommy to wish her a Happy Birthday yet but I did e-mail her. I sent her an e-card... let's see if she can figure it out. Kind of funny that Mommy is forwarding us all these ppt's and images... and I am still giving Daddy a step-by-step instruction on how to log into his e-mail.

Anyhow I am not gonna lie -- I didn't order Mommy's bday gift until today. Looks like she won't receive it until the first week of September so don't tell her about it yet! Aai originally suggested I give her some new pots and pants but after carefully scouring Aai's Indiana Ofoto album, I noticed a picture of Timmy's bed laying on top of a box of a 10-pc cookware set... so I figured she wouldn't need one.

So I called Aunty IeIng this morning to do some research on this "noodle maker" that Aai mentioned Mommy wanted and found out that it's just a pasta maker. So I researched a bit online to find the best manual one (we don't want Mommy making uneven noodles) and found this Italian one on Amazon... I added a couple of things to the order like a cookbook, pasta rack and noodle bowl set. I hope she's happy with it!

Too Much Entertainment

Okay it's no wonder I never leave home... we are way too entertained in front of that TV! Guitar hero on the xbox... watching Blu-Ray discs on the PS3... catching So You Think You Can Dance on the DVR... watching back-to-back episodes of Heroes on the Apple TV... and now have a Wii coming! :) Well... either we're too entertained to leave or too broke to go out. :)



It's scheduled to arrive at my work sometime today but it's already 3:17PM and I'm getting worried. :( If it -does- come today, however, I will be stopping by EB games on my way home from work to pick up Cooking Mama and a Mario game... which one to start with???

In addition to all of this gaming and TV, I've re-subscribed to NetFlix so we can start making use of the PS3 and the 1080p set-up we have. I've added a ton of Blu-Ray DVD's... can't wait for them to start coming!
