My Comfort Zone

Archive for August, 2011

When my mom got herself into dieting, the whole family was anxious about it because we didn’t know how it would affect her. We have heard stories of dieting gone bad and it is the last thing that we wanted for her to experience. But after seeing the results and knowing that it fit her, our worries disappeared. She used formulas and natural weight loss pills, but stopped after she reached her desired weight.

She did gain weight again after a few months, but she did lose weight again after she went into dieting once more. It has been like that since then because her weight has reached its yo-yo stage. Maybe it has something to do with her age. But my mom’s determined and that’s what’s good about her.

I was watching my favorite television show this morning when I heard something drop in my son’s bedroom. It was the home theater system speakers that my husband hung on the wall. They were just sitting on top of the television rack before, but the husband thought it will be good if they were placed somewhere higher, and that was on the wall.

Bad idea eh. LOL. Good thing the speakers were not broke after falling five feet to the floor. I think one thing that protected them was the carpet. Had it been that the floor was hard wood or tiles, I doubt if they would still be okay.

I put them back on the top of the rack. The husband will fix them later.

I woke up feeling cold today. I thought it was because the husband left the window open when he left for work. But it is already early in the afternoon now and yet, I am still feeling cold. I had to brew me a cup of coffee and felt a little hot and sweaty. That was ten minutes ago and I am now feeling cold again. It actually feels like fall to me now.

Fall is still more or less a month away, but it is not surprising actually because it already felt summer in late spring. Brrr! I will have a hot shower in a while and I am hoping this feeling of being cold will disappear by then.

It’s Monday again and it’s time for my general cleaning for the week. I focused on organizing and cleaning the closets today and was amused of what I saw that I hadn’t seen for a while – the ladies teddies that I received as gifts at my bridal shower party last February.

There were three sets of them and I totally forgot about them. I’ve only worn one on the night of our wedding. Well, not bad. At least I still have something new to wear on our First Wedding Anniversary and on our Second. Not bad, eh!

They were all so sexy and provocative that any man’s eyes would really grow big, and the husband is not an exception. LOL.

Our neighbor is going to have a yard sale this weekend. They’ve been busy since last week preparing the things they are going to sell as well as making outdoor signs. They are going to have their yard sale in their front yard and I think we are going to join them by selling some of the husband’s old clothing too.

The little one is also getting rid of some of his toys and already has them sorted. I do wonder if there will be kids who will check the sale? My son’s excited about what he’s going to sell and I do hope he will really earn some moolah.

Yeah, it definitely describes me because I do worry so much to the point that I make a big fuss out of simple and small things. But with the world that we live in now, I can’t blame myself. News about crimes is on the headlines everyday. And ruthless people are everywhere. They give no mercy to no one. They don’t choose whom they want to assault. You could be poor or rich, young or old. Isn’t that sickening?

Have you seen that 8-year-old boy who was murdered in New York? That really scared the hell out of me. I have an 8-year-old son too and as the police says, what happened to that boy is every parent’s worst nightmare. That was really gruesome.

Classes will start next week and I have to walk my son to the nearby school bus stop again. It will only take us three minutes to walk, but you do know that anything can happen in a second. All I can do is pray and hope for our safety.

Guess what is keeping me busy today? While I am waiting for the clothes to get dry in the dryer, I am browsing this website on park model trailers again. Yes, again, because it is not only today that I have checked them. I have been checking the site regularly. You want to know why? It’s because I just love the interior inside those trailers, most especially the kitchen. I would say it is my dream kitchen.

If I only had the money now, I would buy one of those trailers, but we are simply on a tight budget at the moment. In the near future perhaps? We’ll see about that.
