The Lyrics

Don't put your head on my shoulder
Sink me in a river of tears
This could be the best place yet
But you must overcome your fears

Chorus 1:
In time it could have been so much more
The time is precious i know
In time it could have been so much more
The time has nothing to show

Chorus 2:
Because time won't give me time
And time makes lovers feel
Like they've got something real
But you and me we know
They've got nothing but time
And time won't give me time
Won't give me time

Don't make me feel any colder
Time is like a clock in my heart
Touch we touch was the heat too much
I felt i lost you from the start

My Fellow Capricorn

I'm so proud to say that Mr. Vern "Minnie Me" Troyer is a fellow Capricorn. He is so awesome that VH1 should totally give him his own dating show. It's just the next big thing/train wreck waiting to happen to cable TV.

Happy New Year!

Hope you all had a safe and fun New Years Eve!




This tasty little morsel you see is a sweet little treat from the Italian Tomato (inside Mitsuwa Marketplace Costa Mesa,CA). Can you believe flan was hiding under all this fruit? I think it's the new love in my life. What a dream come true.

So Many Hobbies, So Little Time

After I graduated college, I suddenly had so much time on my hands and didn't know what to do with it. I made some failed attempts at going to the gym regularly and eventually decided to take up a new hobby. It all boiled down to learning crochet. I have a great aunt who used to crochet bath mits for us and I would watch her in fascination. She really made it look so easy but I couldn't figure it out on my own so I picked up an instruction book from Wal-Mart. According to the book, I should learn how to crochet in 10 to 20 min. It took more like 10-20 hours!! I'm still an amateur but hey, at least I try. My friend recently had a baby and I committed to making her a blanket. Somehow due to false starts and refining my strategy as to how I was going to go about making this blanket, I ended up with three blankets! My favorite part about hand made blankets are the little mistakes here and there, it's extra special.

It's That Time of Year Again: 10 Cheap Gift Suggestions

Yes the Holiday Season is here. This is the first time in years that I've been a full time student with no job. Even though I'm not buying anyone presents this year due to my budget, I still thought about what I could possibly get for my close friends if I were to get something on the cheap. We even talked about this during class today among each other.

Here are some ideas for those of you who are also feeling the squeeze:

1. Bake cookies from scratch and put them in holiday tins(from Big Lots, Target, or Wal-mart).

2. $5-10 Popcorn tins from Wal-Mart for the whole office or whole family.

3. To do list pads from $1 section at Target, with a pen.

4. Child's artwork framed ( www.betterbudgeting.com)

5. Teacup (with infuser and lid) $6 at Cost Plus World Market- (I bought this for my boss and the CFO with a can of flavored tea from Starbucks last year. It was a big hit.)

6. There's nothing better than receiving a hand crafted gift. Learn to crochet or knit. You can make a scarf easily, quickly, and it takes very little yarn. Buy it by the pound at Wal-Mart, Michael's, or Joann Fabric, it's usually about $7.

7. Home baked bread with recipe (www.betterbudgeting.com)

8. Pretty jar filled with candy. Cheap jars can be found at Wal-mart, Cost Plus, or Ikea. (www.betterbudgeting.com)

9. Calendar (99c store, Wal-Mart)

10. Bottle of sparkling cider (www.betterbudgeting.com)

My favorite stores to find bargains:

1. Wal-Mart
2. 99c Store's Only
3. Dollar Tree
4. Big Lots
5. TJ Maxx
6. Marshalls
7. Target (check the $1 baskets at the entrance, or you can find clearance items at the end of each isle)
8. Ikea
9. Cost Plus World Market
