Warehouse Hours & Holiday Closures

I have a huge craving for home made turkey.

I will be home alone for the Thanksgiving weekend this year (as usual), and I have decided to bake a full bird alone. I will not buy “Turkey dinner to go” from restaurants. I want good stuff. My craving for fresh baked turkey is unbearable. I am going to really enjoy the meal.

I enjoy cooking, so I am looking forward.
And I will take that rest I need. ZZzz..

On Thanksgiving Day, I plan to set up my live video camera pointing at my kitchen (oven & counter). I’ll try, we’ll see… 🙂

OK, I’m getting excited now.

Plan #1 – clean up my kitchen. Make room in the refrigerator.

more coming…

Hi, I am still here.
I am doing good, but very busy.

I will talk to you soon, I promise.
I cannot believe Thanksgiving Day is less than 2 weeks away. Season is passing by too fast. I don’t have time to enjoy the feeling. It sucks.

It’s Sunday morning, I will make coffee and fix pancake breakfast. Then I’ll get back to work.

Please send positive energy to my way. I am so busy and tired. Those who pray, pray for me. I’ll be home alone for Thanksgiving this year.

I will keep in touch with fun stories soon.
🙂

I’m still very busy

Let me do a quick update.

• I am busy
• I see very tiny basil plants budding out from the pot.
• I met one girl from a dating website.  I met her once and I stopped seeing her.  In 2 days, she wrote me 25 emails and called me 3 times.  Each email was very long.  I am still kicking myself that I invited her to my place.  She knows where I live. 
• I joined 3 dating websites.  It’s a desperate time, I need to change my profile title to "Personal Hygiene Not Important"
• My ex coworker got a job at Guitar Center (corporate office).  This can be significant.  I may be able to buy all the guitars I want CHEAP.
• I went to Costco, but I didn’t buy anything fancy.
• My kitchen sink was clogged.  So, I went under the sink and ran 25" snake through it.   It was horrible.. the smell…  but drain is unclogged.
• I am trying to play "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" with my guitar.
• For the first time this year, I made more money than I spent.  We may be at the turning point.  Please send positive energy to my way.  I am totally wiped out.  I just want to sleep day and night.
• I am still having fun.  I feel positive.  I am tired, but not sick.
• I love the girl who says "Ride that spicy chicken" at Jack in the Box commercial.

I’ve been busy.  I am still busy.

I spent last weekend alone at my apartment (as usual).  I bought a small pot and basil seeds from Home Depot.  I decided to give it one more try.

My neighbor’s cat was keep looking at me as I was getting the pot ready.  She is my favorite cat.  So I stopped what I was doing and played with her for a while. 

I hope I have a better luck with basil this time.

It gets cold during the Winter time.  So, I need to bring in the pot when I go to sleep.  Let’s see how it goes… 

OH boy, I hope I don’t get obsessed about growing spices.

Costco Wholesale Corp. said it is raising membership fees for about 22 million customers, as the largest U.S. warehouse club operator seeks to offset rising costs.

The 10% increase in membership fees, going into effect next month, may help offset the disappointing operating margin the company showed in the latest quarter. Operating margin shrank to 2.7% from 2.9% amid double-digit increases in merchandise and overhead costs on a percentage basis.

John’s Note:

So, basically, if you are a regular member, your membership will be $55.00/year.  Executive membership will be $110.00/year.

I am keeping my membership.

Check this out.  Chocolates of the World are back.  I bought 5 jugs last year.  I still have one fresh jug left.  So, this time I bought 3 jugs.

I also bought 2 cans of Christmas Cookies (Belgian Cookies).  I wanted to buy 1 more can, but I don’t make enough money.

Other than that, everything else I bought was good (healthy) item.

Costco was packed with Christmas stuff.  We are in full swing now.

I went to Costco on my lunch time.  I didn’t have time for a hot dog.  Also, I try not to eat meat on weekdays.  I try to keep in shape.

As I was getting ready to leave Costco, I saw an old lady at the parking lot, trying to load her trunk with heavy items.  So, I stopped & got out from my car.  I said "Let me help you.  Pretty young thing like you…."  "I am 84", she said with laughter.  I loaded her trunk as we made small talk.  Soon after, I took her empty cart and told her to drive careful.

Little human interactions like this make me happy.

Chocolates of the world, dude~!

My 70 yrs old neighbor kissed me on my lips. She came straight at it. Now I can smell her on my upper lip.
