I received this year’s Citi Visa Costco reward rebate check amount of $340.54. This check doesn’t make me happy. To me, this is a reality check. I spent 60% more money compared to the year before. 60% is a huge jump on credit card spending. I need to be careful with money. Seriously…
Below is rebate checks from last year, (2017)
I started to wear dress shirts with cufflinks at work.
We have “T-shirts & Jeans” dress code at work. But, I enjoy wearing a white dress shirt with cufflinks that match my shoes. All my cufflinks are vintage sterling silver with some kind of gemstone. My shirts are expensive. One of my white shirts was $100.00 from England.
*I am still planning to tell you about my shoes. Coming up later.
My father had this watch for about 10 years. The battery ran out, and he moved on to another watch. I got this watch from my father and kept it for about 10 years. I finally put in a new battery last month. It works.

Fit Crunch guy looks like Mr Clean.
I’ve been using Vitamix twice a day, non-stop, for the last 6 years. Below is a picture of my typical mix (one serving – 2 tall glasses)
First, I don’t use Vitamix for taste. Vitamix is a chore. I just gulp it down and move on with my life. I make one as soon as I wake up and make another one when I come home from work (before dinner).
It takes little time to make Vitamix juice. I cannot think of any faster way to eat. So, in part, I do this because I am lazy.
I put some ice and water to start.
I put:
There is no rule. I may buy random vegetables whenever I see them on sale.

Happy Valentine’s Day.
I bought my usual greens for my everyday diet.
I bought roses for Valentine’s Day ($15.99 for a dozen). Costco continues to provide me convenient and economic life-style. The Roses were so cheap that I felt a little guilty.

Nothing special today.
I put 2 CK shirts in the cart at first. Then I changed my mind and bought just one. They are slim fit. I favor tailored fit over slim fit. I find slim-fit shirts too young and hip. This skinny fit trend is likely to go away soon.

What you don’t see is a take and bake pizza at the bottom. I am getting ready for Super Bowl 2018. I bought a bag of chips and salsa. Super Bowl is not the same without pizza, hot wings, chips, and salsa.
Go team~!!
I don’t even know who’s playing in Super Bowl.
