I used the weed eater around my yard,.. and I installed my new back up hard drive on my main computer. Had a few problems when I unplugged some of my hard drives,.. all of a sudden my computer wouldn’t boot up into Windows anymore... Had to go into my computer Bios to change the hard drive that my computer was booting into. For some reason the order of hard drives got changed when I unplugged some of them. Then another hard drive wasn’t being seen anymore. Seemed to be just a bad wire connection though the wiring seemed fine. I got it fixed by just fiddling with the wires 5 or 6 times. Also today I wrapped some Christmas presents,.. cleaned my office windows and vacuumed,.. read some of my emails,.. and played Mafia Wars and got paid in YoVille in facebook. And that’s about it for my Saturday. Sunday, December 12, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I was home for the day doing chores and things again. And today I did one load of laundry,.. I cleaned some windows, vacuumed the house and mopped the kitchen floor,.. I made a call about starting a new job soon,.. I installed my new back up software and ran it’s first system back up... If anything happens with my operating system,..

And then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. read my emails,.. played Mafia Wars and got paid in YoVille,.. wrapped some Christmas gifts,.. and put some oil in my Van. And that’s about it for my Monday. Tuesday, December 14, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I worked up at my Uncle Tom & Aunt Aldy’s house again where I’m working on preparing the lower trim for painting. And then I came home and did my dishes and put my things away,.. did my daily work notes,.. plugged one of my hard drives in my main computer into a new sata port because my computer isn’t always seeing that hard drive for some reason,.. started running a back up of that hard drive, it’ll probably take all night for it to finish,.. and I played some Mafia Wars and got paid in YoVille in facebook. And I think that’s about it for my Tuesday. Wednesday, December 15, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I worked up at my Uncle Tom & Aunt Aldy’s house again. And today I about finished getting all the lower trim ready for painting. Then I came home and did my daily work notes and accounting,.. made an online purchase for a phone card for my mobile phone,.. made out an invoice for a job,.. read my emails,.. and played some Mafia Wars and got paid in YoVille in facebook. I recently got me a coffee maker with some of my world points from my Visa card. I’ve never been much of a coffee drinker because it can give me a sick like feeling sometimes. But I do like coffee a lot. Actually it can be just as tasty as any of my very favorite drinks when I get it all seasoned up to my liking. Lately I’ve sampled a bunch of different StarBucks coffees. There was six different ones in a package that I bought from them. Christmas Blend, Caffe Verona, Guatemala Antigua, Italian roast, Expresso roast and Sumatra. And my favorite out of the bunch is Caffe Verona. When I order coffee at Starbucks my go to coffee is Cafe Mocca. I’ve never even tried any of their other drinks in the store. I liked that one from the start and haven’t bothered to try any others. At home I haven’t had any Mocca chocolate flavoring to make a drink similar to theirs. So I’ve been making my coffee different and sampling a bunch of different coffee creamers in them. So far,.. 3 of my favorite coffee creamers are Marshmallow Mocca (which doesn’t taste chocolate like at all),.. Irish Cream and Hazelnut. Some of these creamers taste so good alone without coffee that I could drink them as if they were eggnog. And that’s about it for my Wednesday. Thursday, December 16, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I went up to my Aunt & Uncle’s house and got paid,... but I really couldn’t do much while I was there today because it was raining. Then I stopped by the bank on the way home and made a deposit,.. came home and did my daily work notes & accounting,.. did a load of laundry,.. did a little grocery shopping,.. finished wrapping all my Christmas gifts by putting the bows and tags on the presents,.. read my emails,.. and played Mafia Wars and got paid in YoVille in facebook. And I think that’s about it for my Thursday. Friday, December 17, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I worked at home cutting and drilling kick plates for the bottoms of doors. Then also today I prepared some cilantro, onions, garlic and jalapenos for making a big batch of home made salsa tomorrow,.. did a little shopping at Smart & Final,.. read my emails,.. and played Mafia Wars and got paid in YoVille in facebook. And that’s about it for my Friday. Saturday, December 18, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I made a triple batch of home made salsa, did one load of laundry and learned how to make a good pumpkin pie coffee. Also today I read some of my emails,.. and played Mafia Wars, got paid in YoVille and wrote notes in facebook. And that’s about it for my Saturday. Sunday, December 19, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I decided to go down to the hardware store and see what it would cost me to put drapes up in my living room and kitchen and ended up bringing home a new project. So today I spent a lot of the day cutting and sewing curtains to size and installing them. And I had to go back down to the hardware store a second time too because there was a reason those drapes seemed inexpensive. It was because there was only one drape per package. I only bought half of what I needed the first time. Also today I picked up a few items over at Smart & Final,.. did one load of laundry,.. read my emails,.. updated my web sites and played Mafia Wars and got paid in YoVille in facebook. And that’s about it for my Sunday. Monday, December 20, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page I was home for the day today. But it was nice. Nice to be home during the week for a change. And today I went down to Lowe’s and got me some more drapes for my bedroom and went ahead and cut, sewed and installed them. And I did some house cleaning and organizing,.. got a call from a friend and spent about an hour on the phone with him,.. read my emails,.. played Mafia Wars, YoVille and chatted in facebook and did some online research. And I think that’s about it for my Monday. Tuesday, December 21, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I was home preparing and priming my kitchen walls. Now with the new drapes,.. there’s some walls in there that would look better if they were painted. Also today I helped a neighbor put some tarps on her leaking roof,.. wrapped some Christmas gifts,.. read my emails,.. and played Mafia Wars & YoVille in facebook. And that’s pretty much it for my Tuesday. Wednesday, December 22, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I finished priming and painted some of the walls in my kitchen. Now I’ve just got a little trim painting to finish and I can get things cleaned up in there. Also today I did one load of laundry,.. read some of my emails,.. and played Mafia Wars & got paid in YoVille in facebook. And that’s about it for my Wednesday. I weighed in at the lowest weight that I’ve seen myself at this morning... 84.0 pounds. I don’t think I’ve been that light in weight since 7th or 8th grade. I don’t remember checking my weight back then until 9th grade when I got into Wrestling. And in 9th grade I weighed around 88 pounds at times. Thursday, December 23, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I painted some of the trim in my kitchen, then got everything cleaned up and put back together. Also today I did one load of laundry,.. visited with a friend that came over,.. read some of my emails,.. did some online research for Microwaves,.. and played Mafia Wars & got paid in YoVille. And I think that’s about it for my Thursday. Friday, December 24, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I prepared some vegetables for some things I was going to make for Christmas breakfast,.. vacuumed my office,.. and went out and had a dinner at Papi’s Tacos Al Carbon. I started feeling sick to my stomach after eating and came home and went to bed... I got up a few hours later still not feeling so well,... so now I’m getting my dailies finished here so that I can go in and go back to bed. And that’s about it for my Christmas Eve. Saturday, December 25, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to anybody that happens to be reading this stuff. I was planning on making a video this morning to put in here but I just didn’t feel up to it this morning. So today I started out my day cooking some breakfast items for me and my parents. I cooked us a couple Spinach Quiche pies and some French Toast. And then I went over to a friends house and exchanged gifts with him and visited with him and his family for a while. Then came home and went over to my parents and opened up gifts with them. I got money for Christmas. So I’ll probably go down tomorrow and pick up a few things that I could use. Also today I read my emails and played Mafia Wars, wrote notes and got paid in YoVille in facebook. And I think that’s about it for my Christmas. Sunday, December 26, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I started out my day going shopping. The stores were open early,.. and I figured that getting out there early would be better than going out later. And it was a good time to shop. The stores weren’t too awful crowded yet. I went ahead and got all my Christmas presents today with the money that I got for Christmas. I got me a new Microwave because my old one is acting like it’s getting ready to go out. And I got me some new special extra warm type sweat shirts because I only had 2 of them and I’ve been having to do extra laundry in order to wear those sweat shirts 5 days a week. And I got me some more of these Wrangler Work jeans that I’m really liking so now I’ve got a pair for all 7 days of the week. And I got me some more warm socks,... winter type,... got a new kitchen scrub brush,.. and a little picture to put up on my wall in my kitchen that says: Buon Appetito . The new curtains and painting that I recently did in my house has really made a nice change. The house has a more finished and appealing look now. And I’m really liking it. Has me thinking of new projects to do on the inside of the house. Also today I got a call from a friend that kind of talked my ear off for a while,.. and I read my emails,.. picked up a few grocery items over at Smart & Final,.. and played Mafia Wars, YoVille and wrote notes in facebook. I had a pretty good Christmas. I’ve got lots of nice new things around here I’m really happy with. I’m not just talking about the new Christmas presents from today... But I am a little spent now. And I’ve gotta start being careful how much I spend for a while. And that’s about it for my Sunday. Monday, December 27, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I went out to Oak Glen, California and worked at my Aunt & Uncle’s house priming their lower trim. And then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. read my emails,.. and played Mafia Wars & got paid in YoVille in facebook. And that’s about it for my Monday. Tuesday, December 28, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I went out to Oak Glen, California and worked at my Aunt & Uncle’s house again where I caulked and worked on finish painting their lower exterior trim. Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. read some of my emails,.. and played Mafia Wars & YoVille in facebook. I haven’t really felt all that well most the day today. I’m gonna go in and go to bed early tonight. And that’s about it for my Tuesday. Wednesday, December 29, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page I was home for the day today due to the rain. And I’ve been sickly all day,.. so I haven’t really done much. I’ve got head cold symptoms. So what I did do today though was,.. I worked on figuring out what my last tax payment amount should be,... wrote down a few “keeper” recipes in my recipes book,.. read my emails,.. and played Mafia Wars & got paid in YoVille in facebook. And I think that’s just about it for my Wednesday. Thursday, December 30, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page I took the day off from work today because I’ve been a bit sick like lately and to let every thing dry out a little bit over at my Aunt & Uncle’s house before I go back. So today I did some accounting and sent out my last quarterly tax payments for the year,.. I cleaned my extra freezer that I have here because I think I’ll start using it,.. and I cleaned my washer and dryer a little bit too. And I worked on getting this web site ready for the next year,.. read my emails,.. and played Mafia Wars & YoVille in facebook. And that’s about it for my Thursday. Friday, December 31, 2010 click here to go back to the top of this page Today I worked up at my Aunt & Uncle’s house up in Oak Glen, California painting exterior trim. And then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. made up my Calendar for January 2011,.. read my emails,.. played Mafia Wars & got paid in YoVille in facebook,.. and tried a mix drink that my neighbor gave me the ingredients for. The drink is called: Girl Scout Cookie. And it tasted very good. The peppermint snapps goes great with the Irish Cream. It’s a simple drink to make,.. mix 3 parts Irish Cream to 1 part Peppermint Snapps, pour into glass over ice. I liked mine better with a little milk added to it. But it tasted good without it too. And that’s about it for my New Years Eve.
