Journal

Tonight i went to dinner with Jenn Clado and two of her friends for her bday. We went to Dublin Crossing at Marine Gateway. I ordered stuffed yorkies. It came out cold. It wasnt very good. It was a girls night out.

Yesterday we were going to go watch a movie. But we walked around the mall instead. We bought a few things. One is a pair of boots for me. Nathan has been looking for pair for me for a long time. He likes one with a heel. I like one with a grip on the bottom. It is really hard to find one with that combination. We finally found one at Aldo. I am not sure where i will be wearing it to. It is affordable.. its only $150. Nathan was going to spend $350 on a pair of boots for me from Geox. Thats too expensive.

Gratitude

I am grateful that i have known some friends for a long time.

Goal

To fill my three boards with my goals

We woke up late...like we usually do on the weekends. The plan was to go to Nathan's parents place for dinner. He called them in the afternoon to confirm. They said it was snowing pretty hard so its better if we not come. We decided to watch the last Pirates of the Caribeen. I can only watch about half of it before I start to doze off. I made some stirfry with chicken with a side of rice and beans. For dessert we walked to E. Tea for some bubble tea. It is still icy and slippery outside. We got the mango toast. We were disappointed by what we got. We expected a toast box. We got cut up toast with mango sauce and a scoop of ice cream.

Gratitude

I am grateful that I havent fallen on the icy slushy snow.

Goal

My goal is to make more long term goals.

Because has been snowing and cold the past few weeks, Trout Lake froze over and you can walk on it. Ppl walk in it, skate on it and even play hockey on it. My mom wanted to go check it out. Nathan and I took her there to take some pictures. There were alot of people there. It is only open for 4 days for ppl to skate on before the ice gets thinner and melts away.

For dinner, we took my parents to Rio in Coquitlam. Food is good as usual. They had the dancers on at 730pm and 830pm.

Gratitude

I am grateful for my ability to eat 😃.. and that I enjoy food.

Goal

I want to learn hula / polynesian dancing.

Yesterday I had the day off. It was in lieu of the stat holiday on Sun, Jan 1. Nathan came over at about 9:45am. I was in the middle of making bacon. I made bacon, sausages, eggs and toast for brrakfast. We stayed in all morning and afternoon. We watched a movie, played crib and played Scrabble. We finally left the house and walked to The Tipper restaurant for dinner. It was a 45 min walk each way. The food was less than impressive. When we were there Anna Lai and her bf came in for dinner. They sat next to us and we were chit chatting for a bit.

Gratitude:

I am grateful that I can walk for long periods of time.

Goal:

10,000 steps a day

A start of a new year. New resolutions. The one I really focused on last year was getting better. Its been a year and I am feeling better. Im not 100% yet but on the road there.

This blog helps me create three habits: to journal everyday, express gratitute everyday and make a goal everyday.

Journal - that part may just sum up what happened today.. anything interesting happened?

Gratitude - put one item that I am grateful for

Goal - it can be a small or large goal

Day 6 - Redlands

I have been here for six days. Soo hot here. I heard it has been hot in Vancouver too.

Today was a pretty relaxing day for us. The only appointment was Emily's dentist appointment at 9am. Boy, it was early. My internal clock wakes me up at 6am. I don't want to get up that early. Everyone is still asleep. I would feel like a night crawler waking and moving around so early.

We did things one thing at a time. While Emily was at the dentist, Jeremy and I went to Stater Bros to do some grocery shopping. Emily finished at 930am. We picked her up at about 945am. We then went to Brookside Park. I wanted for them to spend some time outside. We hung out at the park till about 11am. We then went to lunch at Subway and got a bubble tea. We went back home and played board games for a few hours. I got them to clean up a bit. I started prepping for dinner at about 330pm. My sister and Edwin got home at 5pm and I wasn't finished yet. But it worked out fine cause we made it a 'make your own salad roll' night. After dinner I washed the dishes. I went out for a walk with the kids around 730pm. We only went around the block once. Since we got home, I cleaned up my stuff cause the cleaners are coming tomorrow. I'm watching Pulp Fiction again on Netflix.
