Week Past 08/27-09/02/07
Tue 08/28 another thunderstorm decided to pass by our area. Second time this month. Again hardest hit was Bloomington and Richfield. One of my co-worker had their neighbor's tree leaning in their backyard. Their power had been cut off. Tree service companies have their hands full. They're not done cleaning the "mess" from the previous storm and now new fallen trees and branches have been added. This time our store did not experience any power failure.
I'm not done planting. Since most of the nurseries are now discounted at 35%, W bought three "Tiger Eye" tree and moi planted them on Thu 08/30 . What "convinced" me to buy is its leaves changes color during the fall season from green to yellow to scarlet red and it's height when full grown is just about 6 feet. Two were planted at the back of the house and one in front for accent.
Tue 08/28 W decided to be added to my Lifetime Fitness membership. I signed her up Wed 08/29. It's good that she'll be doing physical exercise to complement her weight watchers diet. That would tone her muscle, improve her stamina and burn more calories. I hope she can sustain it. She easily gets bored working out at the gym. But I admire her for being able to stick on her diet program for months now. Pounds lost? about 20.
Sat 09/01 is the start of September for my "Week Past" blog entry. The "ber" months are here. I don't suppose they've started playing Christmas carols in Manila. I remember not so many years ago when radio stations, specially the AM's, immediately aired yule songs on 09/01. The reason they gave was so people would forget their problems and start having that "Christmas feeling". It might be an overkill but their intention was benevolent. Stores are different. They are now displaying "some" Christmas items mixed with Halloween goods. It's no different with playing Christmas carols but the intent is different. Hi ho Hi ho it's off to shop we go ...
