Giants go to 11-1, tied for the best record of the NFL with Tennessee Titans

Giants power over the Washington Redskins 23-7. Their defense was impenetrable as the first Redskins' touchdown was from an interception. The Giants go to 11-1 for the season and face the Philadelphia Eagles next Sunday.

Manchester United still in third place despite win over Manchester City.

Manchester United wins over Manchester City 1-0 on Sunday November 30.

At my parents

Finished eating Thanksgiving dinner. I went to the New York Health and Racquet Club at Great Neck and was not impressed. It does have a treadmill and that's all I'm using so I have to make do.

I have tomorrow off and it's a paid vacation day. Not sure what to do tomorrow besides going to the gym.

Watching the NFL, Dallas is beating the Seattle Seahawks 31-9 in the 4th quarter.

What's going on with me

So I'm going back to my parents in Bayside starting tomorrow evening for the Thanksgiving break. I have work on Friday so I am going to come in from Bayside. It will be good practice for when I move back home.

I didn't wake up this morning to run, I'll do that after my therapist meeting tonight. I also have to run tomorrow morning to keep up with my running schedule. I ran 9 miles last week and am scheduled to run 14 miles this week.

This day is dragging by slowly...

Giants reach 10-1

The Giants beat the 7-3 Cardinals 37 to 29 at Phoenix Stadium, the site where they won the 2008 Super Bowl.

Manchester United vs. Aston Villa

Manchester United reached a scoreless tie with Aston Villa on Saturday November 22's game. This leaves them in third place behind Chelsea and Liverpool.

Knitting and Chinese

I'm going to learn how to knit at purl soho. I also joined the China Institute to take classes but they are full.

Giants go to 9-1

The Giants are up to 9-1, after beating the Baltimore Ravens 30-10.

Worried

I'm getting restless and antsy. I want a traveling audit job, but I don't want to move to CT. All the leads that recruiters have told me about have not led anywhere.

What to do?

I may be unemployed at the end of January.

Still sick and no work

Still waiting on some responses at work. And they keep asking me if I finished something and I keep giving it to them.

Trying to save money

On my quest to become more frugal, I am going to search my apartment this weekend to find the missing clothes, it has to be somewhere. Rather than go out and spend more money which would have been what the former May would have done.

I was able to finally get off the hotel charge on hotels.com. I am disputing the airline charge since hotels.com doesn't even have a record of it being charged to Bill Me Later in the first place. That should be off so I will be getting back $342 that I paid in Bill Me Later. I hope they reverse out the finance charges since I wasn't supposed to be charged those fees in the first place.

At least I will not have to worry about that bill.

Kinda busy today but have a lag

The title of this blog says it all.

I am feeling somewhat better, I am not dripping all over the place but I still have somewhat watery eyes and am sniffling. I don't think I will be able to run until Sunday and then I might not last 4 miles. Should I chance running the Race to Deliver and end up walking the last 2 miles, or should I just skip it? I am also going to skip the next two or three running classes and try to build up my running when I feel better next week. It's better than me getting myself up to the Upper East Side and then turning back after a mile.

This Saturday I may have to come in to work. I need to get my new Taryn Rose shoes tapped, so I am kind of annoyed, I need to do that so I can wear skirts.

This Saturday I am going to go to Jacadi on Madison and 67th to get replacement clothes for Catherine's 4 year old daughter Olivia and 8 month old son Alonzo. I bought them clothes over the summer or in the spring when it was her daughter's birthday but I can't find the clothes, which sucks because I think that cost me at least $65!

If I can order her stuff from jacadi.com I would order her this dress, but alas I have to live in France to get clothes delivered:

Still...

Still no work. I just applied to about 10 jobs, most of which require international travel.

Meeting with a recruiter at 6:30pm. Intriguing job in Plainsboro, NJ, for a 40% international traveling pharmaceutical auditor job. I wish I can get that job.

Picked up Theraflu and it still didn't work.

Got my NYHRC temporary ID card, but won't be going back until I am over this cold.

Busy Busy

Running class bust

I think I got sick from going to the running class last night. I have to get Theraflu from the Duane Reade during lunchtime in addition to getting my gym documents from NYHRC.

I signed up for a Tuesday and Thursday 6:30 Advanced Intermediate running class at NYRR. The last two times I was there including last night, I only lasted a mile before heading back.

That's why I joined the NYHRC to get back into running shape. I used to run 6 miles at one time and not feel so winded! I have to get back to that shape!

I am going to train on my own for the next three weeks and then go back to the running class. I have to train in order to be a part of the running class.

Day of rest

Back at work, the guy I mainly report to is out today so I have the rest of today to slack off.

I wonder if I will be like the consultant whose office I sit in. We have an office that we share. She's been here since last September, that's over a year of consulting. That would mean every week for over 52 weeks I would need to ask my manager to sign my timesheet. I wonder if I can stand that long. I get paid a lot as a consultant, 1.5 times plus I get overtime so maybe I do want to stay a consultant.

I already joined New York Health and Racquet club. It was $102 a month for 2 years. It's better than Equinox which was $170/a month with a $250 initiation fee. I will not spend over $150 for a gym. It was $139/a month for one gym. That's outrageous.

There are locations in Whitehall and Great Neck, so I can go there when I visit my parents or am at work. I am not sure which location is closest, 45th and Lexington or 50th and Madison. Probably 45th Street. I will check that out tonight after my tax appointment at 6:45pm.

Did I mention that I did a woman's personal financial statement at work in less than 10 minutes? I charged her $150. I wish I can find more clients like hers. They take less time than meeting a tax client which takes about an hour to get there and then 15 minutes of talking to them. I am going to get a phone line in January just in case I can get fax clients.

My first blog from work

I bought a running jacket today at Century 21, it came with a pair of jogging pants as well, so I better be able to make it to my running class. I did that because I forgot to bring my running jacket to work.

These people at work better not give me any work to do at 6pm, because I am leaving at 6pm to go to the running class.

Danica's website looks new, it has a white background, but there are no dates next to her blogs so it makes it difficult to follow when she wrote stuff.

Giants go 8-1

The Giants win over the Philadelphia Eagles 36-31. I went to sleep around 9:30pm so I didn't watch the whole game, but they were ahead in the second quarter, so I thought they had it in the bag.

Now comes the hard part of their schedule. Arizona next week.

Ocean Drive or Long Island Marathon?

I'm determined to run a marathon next late winter or early spring since I can never get into the NYC Marathon. I'm torn between the Ocean Drive marathon the last weekend of March or the Long Island Marathon the first weekend of May. It'll probably be easier to train for the Long Island Marathon since it'll be warmer from February to April as opposed to training from December to February.

I am also not sure if I should hire a trainer to devise a running schedule for me. Maybe I will try to devise my own running schedule and for my next marathon, which will be the 2009 NYC Marathon (I finally will get into it next year, don't ask me how), I can hire a trainer so that I can do it under 4 hours.

My original goal is to run 10 minute miles for the whole duration, which would lead to a time of about 4 hours, 20 minutes, but we'll see maybe I'll start walking after the first 20 miles!

The Giants beat the Dallas Cowboys 35-14.

The NY Giants go to 7-1, if they keep playing like this they may be headed to the playoffs. Next week is a hard game against their archrivals the Philadelphia Eagles who are 5-3.
