Zingy Fried Rice & Pork

As I was browsing through my Martha Stewart Food magazine I found this great recipe. So, I made it with slight modifications, I used tomatoe instead of red bell peppers & used Chinese sausage instead of the regular American sausage. Ray is raving about this “zingy fried rice” and I made pork to go with it. I usually make fried rice and pork but this time I marinated both very different. The rice has this zingy wake me up tast.

Ross Shopping Spree

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Before Trinh sold her car, she bought me some work related clothes for my new Census job at Ross. She felt she owed me for always helping her with her S14. Of course I wanted to go to Ross because it was cheaper for clothes and we can get more quantity. I tried to find work pants but it was hard so Trinh ended up finding me some really cute tops. A few of the tops are not work related but are cute for clubbing and everyday wear. She also got me some cute black work shoes too but I forgot to take a picture. LOL! Thanks again Trinh! I totally appreciate all of the clothes & will wear them all. :P

Last weekend I picked this up for BeDea & my Mom… pretty interesting that you can change sides of the comforter for summer & winter. It’s microsuede, comes w/sheets, pillow cases and it’s soil resistent. I guess it betterĀ  have great features for $130!

Bye Bye S14

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

Trinh finally sold her S14. She got a good amount of money out of the car where it is actually worth it for her to sell it. I think we are both bummed because we LOVE S14′s. We dropped off the car yesterday in LA to the new owner & he’s really nice. I know that Trinh’s old S14 will get taken care of & see all of Hollywood. Trinh, hope you are doing O-K!

Jamba Juice Anniversary

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

Did you know that Jamba Juice is having BOGO (Buy 1 get 1 free) smoothies for their 20th anniversary. Well, only if you have a coupon that most people who subscribe to their website have. Either way you can get just someone to forward you the coupon. I’ve been going for the past 2 days wish I would have went every day since the coupon became effective on 4/12 but gotta save money.

Census 2010

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

A week ago, I got a call back from the U.S. Census office. I called in to schedule a time to take the census test, took the test & waited for my call back. I didn’t think I would get the job because I got 21/28 which is not that great. Either way I got a temporary JOB now! Yay I’ll be a working woman for the next 6 weeks! Apparently, they need people in my geographical area & my test score was decent & I have at least an AA degree.

This bus reminded me to blog about my new J-o-B! Don’t forget to fill out your census forms or I might be at your door. LOL!
