Oatmeal Bar (Counter)

Raine38 @Raine38 (12257) • United States 24 Oct

I got inspired by this hotel that we stayed in when I visited a client's site. Normally, typical hotel breakfast is not all that good. But this time, I was pleasantly surprised that they have a really good oatmeal bar! Freshly...

Hiking Lookout Mountain

Raine38 @Raine38 (12257) • United States 22 Oct

One of the perks of living in the rockies is the abundance of nature trails. Before moving here in the United States, I would climb mountains with friends and co-workers. The last mountain that we climbed was Mount Pico de Loro in...

Got The Refunds!

Raine38 @Raine38 (12257) • United States 11 Sep

We have received the checks for the refunds of our plates from our former home state. This will really help with the expenses of the move, and all the transfer fees that we need to do. They are not cheap! We never heard from them...

A Good Start

Raine38 @Raine38 (12257) • United States 11 Sep

Day 1 of the new job went well. As with any orientations, it's a barrage of information that I do not know how to use yet. It's like drinking from a fire hydrant! Since it's a remote job, I did not have to leave the...

A New Routine

Raine38 @Raine38 (12257) • United States 10 Sep

Dear husband started his new work today - he's still with the same company, but now in a different branch, if you will. He needs to be on-site by 5:45am, so he gets up around 4am. I got up at 4:15am to make him some breakfast. I...

…for Halloween/Thanksgiving decor. I told my husband that I am putting out new throw pillows for our couch. I changed the covers to orange burlap, and added these three decorative ones. I think these are cute, but he said it’s...

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?

Raine38 @Raine38 (12257) • United States 7 Sep

We all have different personalities, some personalities mesh well with some, and some just conflicts with some. As it is, we cannot expect everyone to get along well not because something bad happened, it just the personalities...

My brother-in-law, my husband's oldest brother, strikes again. So he is on vacation this week, and was doing a road trip to KS and NE. For some reason, he has their 95-year-old mother with him the entire time. But whatever -...

I Made Some Chicken Lumpiang Shanghai

Raine38 @Raine38 (12257) • United States 4 Sep

I was in a mood to cook today since the monster in laws (LOL) are gone. I made my mom's chicken macaroni soup. It's very easy and I was able to find a good use for the leftover rotisserie chicken. I shredded the chicken, then...

What brings a tear of joy to your eye?

Raine38 @Raine38 (12257) • United States 4 Sep

For me, it will be lots of things. I guess it does not help that I am a crybaby, or a sympathetic crier. I just see someone in tears and I end up tearing up as well, even without knowing the reason for the other person's tears. I...

"Put Up A Sign"

Raine38 @Raine38 (12257) • United States 2 Sep

In our current living situation, my husband and I will have to share a home office space. I will end up using it more, unless of course I was scheduled to travel for work on a week. During his rest days, he is more likely to use...

Raine38 @Raine38 (12257) • United States 2 Sep

I keep a junk journal, which means I use mostly materials that are found or for recycling. There are no rules for it, you use whatever material, format or aesthetic you want. I prefer this format because it's so carefree, I get to...

We don't have any plans for this long weekend, other than to rest and stay put. With all the traveling that we've done because of the move, we are looking forward to just staying in and resting. However, last night, we received...

Got My "Salary" Today

Raine38 @Raine38 (12257) • United States 2 Sep

I was sitting in my office and typing something when I felt that I hit a key the wrong way and cracked my fingernail. It does not hurt that much, but it was uncomfortable and while I can cut the portion that was broken, it will be...

Raine38 @Raine38 (12257) • United States 2 Sep

Before this weekend started, we decided to go to our DMV and register both our vehicles. Why would we choose to do it on a Friday before the long weekend - I also don't know. But somehow we were able to accomplish what we set out...

Trying Not To Get Involved

Raine38 @Raine38 (12257) • United States 30 Aug

I think a few months/years ago, I shared that my brother-in-law (hubby's older brother) also married a woman from the Philippines. She and I are not close despite being originally from there. For one thing, she never hid the fact...
