How many more hours???

Hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving! I did. I cooked my first turkey and then a few days later watched a video of how you're actually supposed to carve a turkey (none of us had a clue!). We all took turns in cutting the turkey into tiny broken off pieces, and even had a vegetarian have a go at it! Crazy! She asked me not to post the photo on Facebook as her friends would kill her. *laugh* I'm keeping the photo for black-mail. ;) Just kidding!

The turkey, thankfully, turned out to be pretty good. But man, I didn't realize how heavy an 18.5 turkey could be! Nor did I realize how many HOURS it took to cook the sucker! So, we all had a true Thanksgiving dinner - late really, as we began eating around 9 p.m. Lol! I'm not sure I'll ever do a whole Thanksgiving dinner again. But the fact that I DID do it was satisfaction enough for me. :) And as proof, here's the turkey photo. Heh heh.

My circadian rhythm is completely off......

I don't know how busy travelers do it. I know it's a bit crazy but it turned out that I had an almost back to back trip. I had made plans to go to Washington, DC last Thursday through Monday even before my decision to go to Korea. So, I returned on the 11th and then was in the air again on the 17th. I thought it would be alright and for the most part I was. But sleep still eludes me at the right time and finds me at the wrong time. I guess there really isn't a "wrong time" to sleep when I work from home, but it doesn't help when I find myself wide awake at 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. but sleepy at noon and 5 p.m. Melatonin? Well, it helps to a certain degree....once ingested. But I have not been taking it these past few days....Perhaps I should try it again. But anyway, my trip to DC was so much fun! I met up with old friends and enjoyed the entire weekend. It reminded me that sometimes old friends are those comfortable friends that have known you forever - the good an...

Addicted

I am addicted to two things: jogging and Pinterest. Let's begin with Pinterest. Have you heard of Pinterest? I'm sure you have. I'm sure you've seen those red "P" logos when you're surfing the internet. Well, I started it with some hesitation when it debuted, uncertain that it would really be something I would want to spend time on. I thought it would be one of those apps that I would end up deleting from my phone when I needed more memory. I was wrong. I am seriously addicted to Pinterest. In fact, I spend more time on Pinterest than I do on Facebook. When I get ready for bed, it means I'll be spending half an hour on Pinterest before I actually close my eyes (according to a pin it says that this is one of the bad habits that prevent me from getting a good night's rest...). My husband laughs at my addiction to Pinterest, but hey, he benefits from my addiction. How so you ask? Well, there are quite a few things I have actually tried from Pintere...

Day for Darfur

Image
Today is a Day for Darfur. Around the world, thousands have been gathering to call for international action to stop the violence in Darfur. Gatherings include vigils, prayer meetings, and rallies - such as one in New York City today. The international community's response was slow, if not practically non-existent, to the genocide in Rwanda. It cannot happen again. I sincerely hope today that the response, slow as it is, will not be the same as it was in 1994. We are faced with the same situation, but I hope that the outcome will be a different one. Join in the vigil, raise your awareness, and the awareness of those around you. Be a voice for Darfur today.
