Pajamas & Recipes

Thursday June 25, 2009 comments   

I ended up feeling quite sick this morning so I went ahead and stayed home. I was resting on & off again all day and feel 70% better now. I dunno, maybe it was just stress & exhaustion? Or maybe I’m fighting off some cold. I’ve had an on & off again sore throat for days. I don’t know. I was just downstairs this morning trying to shack it off so I could get ready for work. I was lying there and thinking, “OK, 30 minutes to get ready, I can make it.” Then 20, then 10, then I realized I wasn’t gonna make it, I felt too awful, haahaa.

While in a semi-dream state I was watching the Bonnie Hunt show and they had some woman there with the book, Hungry Girl. They shared 3 recipes which can be found here. I’m trying them out! I got really excited because the pasta recipe calls for these tofu noodles Mike and I have already been using!! Yea, tofu shirataki noodles!! Extreme low in calories & carbs! They taste great too.

I was going to talk about them anyway but this is a great coincidence! They’re about $1.10 a bag at HMart. We’ve been using them in soups mostly~ my cabbage soup & Mike makes ramen.

We bought the original yam shirataki noodle too but haven’t tried them yet.

So I’ve been in pajamas most of the day. I didn’t start feeling better until around 4:00 when I forced myself to change into REAL clothes. I think I needed to just push through the fatigue and “walk it off” in a way. So no matter how I feel tomorrow I’m going into work :dizzy:

I bought some new PJs actually. I was at K-Mart of all random places (I go there like twice a year for seasonal stuff) and they had a really great sale on these cute Joe Boxer pajamas. I love Joe Boxer. They were really popular when I was in High School & I used to buy their underwear because they had that sort of boyish style for girls. These are really soft too~

I got PJ top (below) because it really reminded me of something Rinka would wear,
hahahah :bow:

Rinka wears lots of smiley face stuff ね！


I took a really intense sweat bath last night (maybe that didn’t help much with how I felt today! LOL!) using 炎赤の湯 sweat bath. The scent is FANTASTIC and it makes the water glitter & gleam!


I drink hot tea and read magazines to pass the time & keep me in the bath for at least 30 minutes :good:

Can you tell it sparkles!?

As for the cell phone blog, I’ve actually already been doing it for about a week. But given the responses about it I think I’ll still keep it pretty private, maybe. I’m not ready to slap a link up in my blog’s sidebar just yet. Don’t worry, sushi-cat isn’t going ANYWHERE. If you want the link to my Ameblo then feel free to email me at [email protected] for it. If not, that’s OK too~~

First Edamame Pod!

Tuesday June 23, 2009 comments   


e·d·a·m·a·m·e·!

My first pod is forming!! Actually this is the biggest one, there are many very tiny pods too. :doubleheartglitter:

I’m so excited! Soon I’ll have the freshest edamame I’ve ever tasted :food:

I need to type this entry quickly! Yesterday Mike & I started our 4 weeks of strict healthy diet & exercise! No donuts, no ice cream, no (non-diet) soda or drinks! Plus we’ll Taebo or do cardio every other night. We’re doing Tae Bo at 9:30 tonight :mkpoo: I’m really close to my previous weight~ only 8 lbs to go :) and I’ll lose all that fast food weight I gained in college :;_;:

We went grocery shopping and stocked up on tons of fruits & vegetables. He does low carb. It works best for him. Me? I’m cutting out most unnecessary sugars. I picked up snacks like Sugar-Free JELLO and I was SOOO excited because I spotted two new flavors yesterday!


Raspberry Goji and Strawberry acai!

Good, I was getting tired of the other flavors.
So far the Raspberry Goji is tasty! Haven’t tried Strawberry Acai yet.

We’re not eating out at all either which will save on calories AND money. So that I can buy more crap! :dizzy: :grin: :grin:

This weekend I bought a few more things. I got a black dress on sale. It’s like a Roman-maxi dress look. I like it! So comfortable for summer~ I got it in a big size so it would flow and be cooling :glitz:

I’m making the dumbest face :gigglewakuface::puup:


I also picked up this Tarte blush from Sephora. Another “whim” purchase.
OMG L O V E I T ! :bow:
The texture sucks, it’s a bit tacky but the color is so rich and gorgeous it’s worth it! The color is similar to the tube’s color, but opened it looks crazy dark red; it’s not.

I also picked up a few things on sale at Forever21 & H&M :star2:


Basic tank & leggings

Got these tees on sale for $5.00!

Everyone liked the toilet shot so here’s another, LOL!
Actually it’s the only mirror downstairs.
I’m always wearing casual in these pictures,ネ～

Yesterday my iPod Touch did the weirdest thing! I went to pause it and when I tapped it the screen went inverted!! Both inverted colors AND the buttons, text, touching, EVERYTHING was backwards!!! It was like I was staring at the screen from the inside!? I powered it off (which was weird because I had to drag the button backwards) and when it came back on it was normal. I tried to take a photo. Can you see it???!! WEIRD!

:doubledquestion: :doubledquestion: :doubledquestion: :doubledquestion:

I asked this via twitter as well but would a separate blog where I mostly post entries/photos using my cell phone be interesting to anyone? It would be more spur of the moment updates while I was out & about. Or would that just be trivial and yet 1 more thing you’d feel semi-obligated to follow?? Just wondering~~ Haven’t made up my mind yet OoO :doubledquestion: I have an Ameblo that I’ve only been using for poupee snaps but I saw how easy it was updating via phone to it! I can update this blog via cell phone too but it’s way more cumbersome than ameblo~
