Today I am suppose to be on vacation spending time with my family in Hawaii eating some really good food. But instead I am HERE at work busting my ass! A long time employee of my job is retiring today and everyone is making a big "hoo-ha" about her last day. They ordered cake and brought food, made a memory book and doing a photo slide show. They wanted me to make something for the memory book but I have no time. I have my nose to the grindstone and these people are buying party decorations and having a great time.

It is so annoying!

how to lose stored fat ....


Here are some things I have noticed from people around me that are losing weight. Those who CHOOSE to follow these tips HAVE seen drastic results. A healthier lifestyle and a toned/fit body is up to you.

1. Food intake (energy/caloric intake).

bottom line. 60% of your success is the amount of calories/energy you take in. Rule of thumb, NEVER go under 1,200 and ... the average american will gain weight at 1,800 calories. Try to use these calories wisely ... taking in fruits, veggies, and the right percentages of carbs, protiens, and fats. This is the first battle.

2. Water consumption.

Drink enough water. Take the number of 1/2 your weight ... this is your number of oz. If you are active, 2/3rds of your weight is your new number. DRINK THAT WATER!

3. Burn those calories.

It really is that easy. If you burn the calories you take in ... exactly ... you will maintain your weight. If you take in more calories than you expend ... your body will store that energy (calories) ... "stored fat". Pinch your arms, belly, legs ... those are all the times you ate more than you expended.

I do meet people who say ... "but, i run 3 miles every single day and i'm not seeing any results!" Your body will adjust to movement done repetatively. So, change up your workout routine every couple of weeks.

This is 911. Please upload your video

Smile, you're on 911.
This is 911. Please upload your video

New York City will install new technology to allow 911 centers to receive images from cell phones. Citizens will be able to send still images or videos from camera phones or computers, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

The city joins several other municipalities that are testing similar services, though it is probably the largest to try such a project.

Bloomberg said this week he hopes to expand the technology to eventually serve the city's 311 services, used to report quality-of-life problems like potholes.

New Yorkers have already used their phones to take a bite out of crime; Newsday reported that in 2005 two schoolgirls snapped a picture of a subway flasher with a cell phone, and gave it to police, who tracked down and arrested the man.

PEOPLE USE IT TO TAKE MYSPACE PICS ALL THE TIME. WHY NOT USE IT TO SOLVE CRIME...?

Yesterday they turned my electricity off. Yeah, happy effin turkey day to you too, mutha! Sorry for the language but they did not even warn me. I had paid the bill that day and then they decided to charge me for a reconnection fee and a deposit. Those fees were more than the bill. Ok, so I pay it and they say that they will turn it right back on. My daughter gets home from school and it still isnt working. So now what?? I call them back again. The operator says, "Well, did you check the circut breaker?" I say, "Did anyone tell me to check it?" She said, well you should know to check it. How should I know when I dont effin WORK there. Just get the damn lights back on. So I get home and ask the manager to open the door to the circut breaker because it is locked. Well the electric company changed the lock and never gave the manager the key. That was another whole fiasco. Bottom line, the manger cut their lock and flipped my switch. The manager and I have not been on good terms too much lately so she really did me a favor. My bf suggested that I buy her sees candy and he will pay me for it. :)

What do you you do with 55 pounds of panda poop? That is the combined amout of feces produced by chuang chuang and lin hui, the pandas at the Thai zoo. Prasertsak Buntragulpoontawee came up with the idea of turning it all into notebooks, fans, bookmarks and key chains.

These multicolored paper products have proven to be a hot selling item at the zoo. As of today the zoo has earned 8,200 helping to balance the accounts of keeping the pandas.

HOW IS THIS DONE??
Panda poop paper production involves a daylong process of cleaning the feces, boiling it in a soda solution, bleaching it with chlorine and drying it under the sun. Experimentation continues on how to reduce the chemicals now used.


IF SELLING POOP PAPER IS SUCH A SUCCESS WHY NOT SELL IT OUTSIDE OF THE ZOO?
"We tried selling it on markets outside but so far with not so much success," he says. "But in the zoo, when people see real pandas and then their product they're excited and buy."


You wont catch me buying any paper made out of feces. I dont care if you cleaned in boiling soda solution. ha ha.

This morning was so super busy. I got up at 5am to head out to the nearest gamestore to buy a Nintendo Wii for my boys. To my disappointment I was too late. They only had Wii's and I was number 10 in line. I hopped back into my car and then proceeded to the next nearest game store to wait there. It was 5:30 am and I was number 2 in line!!!! I was so excitted. My daughter came with me and I had her wait in the car because outside was too cold. I sat there with warm clothes on and a sleeping bag. It was still cold so then I wrapped a sweatshirt around my head and covered my nose and mouth with the sleeves. After waiting in the cold with no sun for 4 hours the manager came out to make an announcement. He said that they only have 6 Wiis and that was it. Alot of people were pissed. Not me! I was excitted. I got my number and was waiting to walk in then he said they opened at 10. That was another whole hour! My daughter has a hair appt. at 10am! I had to call the hair dresser at 9am to tell her that I needed to reschedule.

I am so happy that my patience and perseverence paid off. I got myself a WII!!! The boys are so happy with their christmas gift. As for my daughter, we went back to the game store and traded in her NINTENDO DS for $55. She then bought Sims 2 Holiday edition and I helped purchase the items pack. All three kids are happy this year with their christmas gifts and I am happy for that.

Christmas is about sacrifice. I traded in my DS LITE to make up the difference on the WII and also the difference on the SIMS item pack. I also sold back all of my games. Unlike some, I played with my DS often! Therefore, it WAS a sacrifice for me. But I am happy with my decision...

I cried, WII WII WII all the way home! :)
