Week of July 25

My boss was away from July 18 to July 25. He was back today! And now I'm busy again! LOL It was nice having a vacation from him as he puts it! LOL

I went into work today at 5:30AM. Took the 5:05AM Q101 bus to work. Then I washed my hair and got a yogurt parfait and venti mocha frappaccino (got my 15 stars and free drink from Starbucks). Then it was 6:25AM when I got to work. And I finished up all my work yesterday so I had nothing to do but clean up my desk and label my file folders! Boy I had a lot of down time before my boss got in at 9:20AM!

But then it got busy. I left promptly at 5:30PM and left my iPhone at work so I had to go back and the N/Q trains to Astoria were delayed so I didn't get home til 6:30PM.

Now I'm struggling to stay away til at least 9:30PM so I don't get up at 3:30AM. Went to bed at 8:30PM yesterday.

Can't find my Blockbuster DVD. Will reorder it from them. I keep reporting stuff missing. I wonder when they'll discontinue my service.

Today is a chill week. Tomorrow I wanna go to Knitting Doctor and get some help casting on. Also wanna go to mass tmrw morn to make up for missing Sunday mass. Thursday I wanna hit a yoga class in the morning and then get dinner at Sprig with Josh. Dentist at 6:30PM on Friday then going to get some pho from Pho Bang in Flushing afterwards. Sat 12PM I have a photo shoot planned with Paddy at Central Park. that should be fun. Sun I will go to church in the morning and then I have a Knitting 2 class at Lion Brand Studio.

Next Monday will go to my friend's sample sale at Decode 1.8. $35 dresses. Tuesday I have a Mets-Marlins game. No plans to go with anyone as of yet. Then tentative dinner plans with Chiemi later that week at Bento Burger in the East Village so I can give her the Yankees ticket. My bro installed new bookcases and I moved the contents along with the Yankees tickets elsewhere so I have to look for them. Not good.

I will try to add some more photos to my web blogging so it gets more interesting.

I also didn't post last week, will try and remember to post an entry at least once a week.

I will try to cook baked sausage and pork ziti this Friday.

Update

OK, I was photo-blogging for three days straight and on a roll until I fell off the world for 13 days... minor blip, I'm back! Got some extra accounting and setup of LLC work so making quite a bit of money in December, which is good considering I lost my fourth iPhone. But the fifth iPhone will be my last iPhone cuz this AT&T sales rep told me about Mobile Me which is this software that can gps lost phones. It's 99 and I'm going to buy it as soon as my client pays me this week.

I've also decided to learn how to swim on my own. I have had enough lessons and know what I need to do, I just need to practice on my own. That'll save me a lot of money and I can pay off my Citibank cc, which I have been letting slide since November. I shd be back on track by Feb 2010. I'm also foregoing mani-pedis (bought my own nail polish and will do it myself) and stretch sessions. I might also only go to one Yankee game next year since I just calculated that I spent 500 on Yankees tickets, food, gear and the movie. I'm going to cut it down to half of that for the 2010 season, especially since they don't have Hideki Matsui and Chien-Ming Wang (sp?) They also traded for Nick Johnson whom I was not fond of and Javier Vasquez who gave up a grand slam in game 7 of the ALCS to Boston's Johnny Damon.

So yeah with all these new clients and saving money tactics, I shd save enough for a trip to Shanghai and HK and to be able to bring my mom with me. I'm thinking by Jul 2o11 I'll have enough saved and I'll visit my homeland for the first time.

OK, I will try photo-blogging tomorrow when I go into the city tmrw for my weekly therapy session.

Oh I haven't been running since I injured my right ankle in cardio class. It feels abt healed but I want to rest a few more days to be on the safe side. I think I'll return to the gym to run 2 miles on a treadmill on Sat, the day after Christmas.

Going to cook crab bisque on Christmas day. Invested at least 70 bucks on it so far, so it better turn out well.

Wishlist finished

Now that I got a digital camera, an iPhone, and a Garmin 405, I ran out of things on my wishlist. I've also decided against getting a MacBook Pro because I have a brand new SONY VAIO that I use for my business. It'll just cost too much money to buy all the programs like Quickbooks Pro, Adobe Writer, MS Office, Turbotax, you get the idea for the Mac. So I'll make do with my pink SONY VAIO. I was contemplating a pink Burberry tote bag for my gym bag but I like my brown MonSac bag. Also not sure if I want my pink 0bsession to show that much.

I was also contemplating doing Team for Kids again but then I found out tonight that they will most likely raise the contribution to 2500 and I don't think I can raise that amount.

What else do I want? Oh a sofa when I move out. I hope I can get enough clients this tax season to move out by August or September of this year.

Still no iPhone. It was not available last night in the Apple store.

I may get an iPhone finally!

I tried eating at the sushi place on 2nd and 53rd Street, but it wasn't going to open til 6pm. So I came home and ate a burrito. I've been saving lots of money by eating a burrito for dinner. My mom got me a whole bunch of burritos.

My brother is coming into the city perhaps tonight to buy an iPhone. He is going on the family plan, so I may get an iPhone too.

Waiting for nothing

I ended up waiting 5 hours for the Apple iPhone and not getting it because I have a small business account and have to go to the AT&T Store. What a waste of time! They should have told people on line about that!

Waiting on line at the Apple store for the iPhone. Been waiting 3 and a half hours

Ut-oh Apple launched a new iPhone for only $199. That means I'll get it.

It barely squeaked by my limit of $200 for upgrading to the new phone.
