Short getaway
It was a really nice weekend we had. We went to somewhere to spend a night together. And then, the next morning, we went to Hometown Buffet so get some breakfast meals. Unfortunately, they don’t have breakfast buffet on the weekdays. My husband was frustrated and upset about it. However, we still ate there, as we were very hungry. It was almost 11am when we got there. So, we had brunch meals. Then, after that we went home and took a nap for two hours. It was a very good sleep. We woke up at around 3pm and drove to IKEA to buy some stuff for our house. It was a great shopping as I love going and checking out IKEA. They always have some great deals. I got some kitchenware for a cheap price. Anyhow, I hope we can do something like this again. It was a nice short getaway.
The weekend off
I was surprised to know that my husband is off tomorrow. He did not tell me about it until today. What a surprise! Normally, he gets the weekend off but this week, he get Friday off. That’s really nice. Now, he wants to go somewhere where we can spend a night together. It is a very nice thought considering that we work really hard at work. It is great to have a break from reality sometimes. I think I am going to like my weekend off. I wish we could go to Vegas. It has been two years since the last we went there. I kinda miss it. Well, you know Vegas it is one of the most affordable vacation destination here in the U.S. And it is just 5 hours drive from where we live. But well, wherever my husband takes me tonight, I would gladly go with him.
Work environment
I could hardly wait for my weekend off. I am really looking forward to it. I don’t have any plans yet for the weekend but surely, I want to have fun and enjoy it. I still have to ask my husband; hopefully, we will go and do something fun. I feel I deserve to have fun because I have been working really hard at work. My partner at work does not really do her best to get things done on time so, I always ended up doing more. I really don’t like it. I cannot tell her about her speed yet since she’s new to the work environment. You see, our work is very fast-pace. On weekdays, we only have four hours to get things done. If you were not able to get things on time, you still have to do even if you already clocked out. It is very challenging. But my co-worker does not realize that. She lags all the time as if she’s just at home. I just don’t know what to do with her. If she’s still going to act like that in a month, then I will be forced to confront her.
Gadgets
Are you waiting for Dell’s tablet? Yes, it will be released soon. I am not really gadget person. I always wonder how it feels to be a gadget person. Actually, my husband bought me Acer netbook when it first came out in 2008. I was so excited to receive it even though I always wanted to have a notebook. Now, I don’t like my netbook anymore. It’s too small and very limited. I love the desktop computer. So, I have a Toshiba notebook now. If I want to go somewhere I can bring it with me even though it’s bigger than netbook. The netbook is very handy but it’s just very limited when it comes to features. Now, I am planning on giving it to one of my siblings. Notebook to me comes in handy with me since I use computer a lot. And also I like the keyboard in my new Toshiba notebook.
Veggie burgers
Some people think that being a vegetarian is hard. They think that all vegetarians eat only vegetables salads and that vegetarians have protein deficiency. They don’t know that vegans and vegetarians get their protein from legumes, some vegetables, and veggie burgers. I love veggie burgers but I am now meticulous in buying some veggie burgers. Recently, it was in the news that some veggie burgers found to contain harmful substance called hexane – it is used to process soy. What is hexane? Hexane is listed as hazardous air pollutant with the Environmental Protection Agency or EPA and it is a neurotoxin and by-product of gasoline refining. Most non-organic veggie burgers contain hexane. Veggie burger manufacturers used hexane to keep down the fat content of energy bars, veggie burgers and other similar products. They plunge soybeans in a bath of hexane to split them into soy oil, protein and fiber. Oh, now I don’t feel like eating non-organic veggie burgers like Boca burgers. The organic veggie burgers are safe. Now, I have to look for organic ones. Anyhow, organic foods are way better than non-organic ones. Veggies that contain hexane-extracted soy ingredients are Amy’s kitchen, Boca burger (the conventional kind, so that means I have to choose the organic kind), garden burger, and morningstar farms, lightlife, trader joes, Yves veggie cuisine, it’s all good, franklin farms, soy boy, president’s choice, and taste above – for more information click here. Oh boy, I love those veggie burgers that have been mentioned. I guess, I better make my own burger or maybe instead of eating veggie burgers I should just roast some vegetables in the oven and make a roast veggies sandwich. That sounds good!
