I am getting ready for a fun Labor Day weekend alone.

I am going to have 2 friends over on Saturday, but it will be just for a few hours.

As you know, I know the art of being alone. I always keep myself entertained with different projects, guitar practice, &, etc…
I truly deserve Labor Day. I work a lot… (I love my work)

I am going to have a BBQ alone to celebrate my good year of working.
I hope I have more work. I hope I make more money.

I am just happy that I am physically able to work – being able to work is happiness.

God bless all hard-working people in the world.

I hope you guys would have a day off on Monday and take a long~~ nap like I am planning to.

 

I ate a hotdog and bought gas.
I spent over $100.00 total

Wind-breaker (jacket) is one I’ve been thinking about buying for 8 months. I had a wedding photography gig in January. It rained, and I was soaking wet. Since then, I’ve been looking for a decent-looking windbreaker. It’s not my style, but I needed one. I hope I never get to use it.

Definite Sign of Christmas – Rudolph~!!

I’m still very busy… 🙁

Took this picture on August 25, 2010 – exactly 4 months before Christmas.

Welcome new visitors!

FYI: So far, 500,000,000 eggs were recalled. This is 2% of all eggs produced in the US annually.

###

The story on nationwide egg recall is still developing. You may own tainted eggs and not know about it.

I eat 4 Costco eggs every day (4 whites, 2 yolks). I still have about a dozen older eggs and I plan to eat them.

My eggs are packaged by Norco Ranch (Ca). At first, I thought Norco Ranch eggs are safe. Later, I learned that Norco eggs were pulled from the market as well (Related News). Some reported getting sick after eating Norco Ranch bought from Costco.

So, I don’t know what to say about this topic. Just be careful. Keep up with the news and use common sense. When it doubts, trash your eggs and get new ones.

Take care.

I was looking forward to today’s Costco shopping. 
I was hoping to find black jeans & black sneakers.

Costco Pants:

I look the best in 31 waist pants, but Costco doesn’t carry 31″ waist pants. Costco rarely has 31″. They always have sizes 30 & 32 Inch waist. They usually skip on 31″ waist.

I have several blue jeans in size 30 waist. I can only fit into them when I am really good with diet & exercise. I need bigger jeans.

Today, I bought a pair of Calvin Klein blue jeans with a 32-inch waist. But they were too big. I will take them back.

I couldn’t find black jeans & black sneakers. I may have to go elsewhere for clothes.

Chocolate Cake:

I didn’t have chocolate cake for the longest time. I couldn’t fight the urge today, so I bought one. I plan to freeze half and enjoy it slowly.


What you don’t see in the picture: Chocolate cake, 5 dozen eggs, extra sharp cheddar cheese, ravioli, cilantro lime shrimps.

I spent $124.35. The coupon saved $12.00.
Then I put some gas in my car.

Update 2021 – By now 31-inch pants are completely gone from Costco. And 30-inch waist pants became rare. I guess Americans are getting bigger. Currently, I wear 30-inch waist jeans. I am slimmer than 10 years ago.

I would like to announce that I am now an executive member at Costco.

The lady looked up my account and said, “This membership will pay for itself because you spend so much money here”…

I didn’t get the black membership card. Because I use an American Express card as a membership, there was no need to take pictures &, etc…

The whole process took only several minutes.
