Check this out. This is my new Costco bicycle.

  • I replaced the seat.
  • I installed a rear-view mirror.
  • I have iPod Touch speakers in front. It also holds my camera & keys.
  • I put my sunglasses under the seat.

I am aware this shape is supposed to be for girls. But I like this model. It’s very practical with access space in front. Who cares what other people say? OK, you are better than me. See ya~!!

I am having a lot of fun with my new bicycle. I ride to a local park and play backboard (tennis). It gives me 45-50 minutes of light aerobic workout. I sling a tennis racquet on my back (like a guitar). This is more entertaining than I imagined. I just need to be very careful.

Also, as I ride around the town, I get to meet people. 

We have a really attractive neighbor. She’s a lean blond, kind of rock band groupie type. She was surprised to see me on a bicycle. She gave me a hug for the first time. That hug paid for my bicycle.

Also, I met another neighbor – she also complimented my bicycle and my outfit. NO, I do not wear tights. I wear my regular running outfit I bought from Costco. She invited me to visit her sometime. She also gave me a hug.

I may be residentially challenged. But, ah~! the beauty of living in an apartment complex. 

Anyway, the bicycle is fun, and it’s good for me. Money well spent.

I need to keep reminding myself to be very careful when I ride. (fingers crossed).

It’s not fun being poor.

Today I only bought what’s absolutely needed.

I hope the economy will pick up soon. It’s a tough time.

Chocolates Of the World & European Cookies – Revisited

Remember this picture from last year?

I bought five jugs of Chocolates of the World and three cans of European cookies 10 months ago

from October 14, 2010 blog

On my blog, I said something about self-control. And I also said these chocolates would last a year.

Today is August 10, 2011. I still have one and a half jugs of Chocolates of the World. I have more than a half can of European cookies. Cookies are in the refrigerator. One jug of Chocolates of the World is in the freezer. It’s been frozen for 10 months.

I have been enjoying these snacks for the last 10 months. I eat one or two Chocolates every week. I enjoy cookies with or without coffee. My friends love it when I serve these cookies with coffee. Stocking up on these Christmas snacks was a good idea. 

I hope Costco will carry them again this season, so I can do the same for next year. But I don’t think I can spend $80.00 on candies. I am so poor this year. I just thank God I still have a job.

These snacks are Costco’s Christmas tradition. If you haven’t tried them, don’t miss out this year.

Oh my God, I’m so tired.

I just bought a bicycle at Costco.
I rode around the block for about 5 minutes. Now I feel dizzy and nauseated. I don’t feel good. I needed some food. So, I ate a handful of M&M’s.

I plan to ride to the park and play tennis on the backboard. I think it will take a while until I will be fit enough to ride to the park.

I shall go easy for now, then I will increase distance and intensity. I remember 27-30 years ago; I used to ride bycicle all day. I mean all day (8+ hours) just for fun.

I am worried that I am out of shape. My cardio is zero.

I’m going to take a cold shower and grill a Steak.
I always eat a thick steak on Sunday night.

I went to Costco after work. I didn’t buy anything fancy. I am so poor. I am trying to be careful with money. But, look! Christmas time is here. I saw a lot of toys and Christmas ribbons at Costco. “Here we go…” one lady said.

After Costco shopping, I went to Bed Bath and Beyond for some bargain hunting. I bought a Yankee Candle (Christmas scent).

I came home past 9 pm.

2 minutes after I got home, I got a phone call from The Marijuana Girl. She was putting her hamster cage together. She wanted some help. I was at her apartment for 1 hour. 

I came home and ate dinner. Now it’s 1:30 AM Friday.

I will be happy if I get a good 5 hours of sleep. ZZzzz…

Doritos and turkey jerkies were incredibly cheap with special savings and coupons. I saved $11.75 on them. I cannot resist the jerkies. They are so good.

Doritos had an instant rebate – no coupon was needed
