Ok, title sounds better than it seems, but actually it's pretty good. I've been using Good Search instead of Google and been making one cent per search for my chorus. Yesterday, when I started it, I made 60 cents! I could easily make a few hundred bucks a year for us!
I took Mozart to get microchipped. I had to go to the cat sanctuary. It was out in the boonies in El Dorado Hills. It was a little depressing for some reason. Maybe because a lot of the cats were not in the best of shape. Poor kittehs! The process was quick, the vet just inserted the microchip the size of a grain of rice between the shoulder blades with a needle. I saw a poor kitteh in the hospital who was bleeding and put under, he was in a fight. The vet kept saying he forgot how beautiful Mozart was and he is actually a buff instead of orange tabby. Pretty close to me.
Another sunny day. We need more rain! But I do enjoy the warmth of the sun. I think I am ready for spring and the time change. I like it dark in the morning and it's getting too light. I prefer lighter at night time. You just feel like you can do more when it's light out, like you have more time even though it's the same amount of time in every day.

Making the most of it
So, work is the usual. Not too stimulating, but I have been making the most of it.
For my chorus, we are using Good Search to earn money. I put it as my homepage and today have begun the searching challenge for myself. I plan on making about a dollar per day. They give you one cent per search. You also get money for shopping online through them on Good Shop. I will do that when I need to shop, but hopefully not anytime soon (saving money). I have earned 30 cents so far today! Talk about making the best of your time! I do searches day long, so I think this is a great way for me to feel accomplished and helping my chorus. I have a strategy for the first series of searches. I am on Information Please website and going down the A-Z list of biographies and doing a search on each one. I thought about, how could I keep doing searches so quickly. I thought, use the encyclopedia method! I will do other subjects after the bios run dry. There is so much to search and I don't have to think!
Last night's class was good. After work, I picked up a foot long at Subway. The lady asked a lot of personal info, like "is that a real diamond ring?" "are you a student?" "are you married?" "how old are you?". I answered politely. Then I saw her report back to her male co-worker. I was like, ok? I guess that guy had his eye on me. I'm just going to stick with that story. This is why I like not living in Davis anymore. People always assume I'm a student. I parked at my old neighborhood in Davis and went on a walk (been feeling gross). It felt good to get outside. Then went to class. I learned a lot and had a good time talking to a classmate.
Today, Mozart is getting micro chipped. Hopefully it won't take long. I don't know the process. Hey, I'll search about that!!!
If you would like to join my in my crazy searching, go to goodsearch.com and pick your charity of choice. Might as well!

Blaisdell Reunion
I am finally posting in my blog. I actually forgot about it. But, after work yesterday, I visited my old co-workers after a long time of not seeing them. It was fun, we caught up. Then they said they missed reading my blogs, since one of them was cracking up about remembering reading my blog. So here it is!
I feel the pressure now to be funny. Oh well, maybe it will be since I might have something to say.
So, since the Honeymoon in the Big Island, I have been still insanely busy. I came back to the Sacramento Women's Chorus after a much needed break. I was on leave since late April. First of all, my Buick died on me. Mac bought me a beautiful red Subaru Impreza Outback Sport 2011 at the Roseville Auto Mall. It's a hatchback and it has a GPS with a DVD/CD player and I hook up my Ipod to it, so I have a full on entertainment center. I watch tv while waiting to go into work. I get to the parking structure early and watch tv. It helps me wake up and I don't like wasting my time being early to work. Anyway, my car's name is Wendy, since I thought of that Office episode where Michael wants to have people get him a date, and one person gave him Wendy's number and it turned out to be Wendy's the fast food place. Anyway, since the car is red and so beautiful, it's Wendy, the fiery redhead. Another reason to go on leave from chorus, just way too much going on with planning the wedding. I was pretty insane and needed all the extra time possible. I got a nice welcome back to the chorus and all was well. I met a few new people my age, which is always nice. So, been enjoying my Monday nights with chorus, and now I will be going to the library to visit and to read for my class.
Ok, class. I am taking an Early Childhood Education class. I received some money from my Japanese Grandma (yay, I have a grandma) and put it to good use. I wanted to either take a computer class or ECE class. This class works best with my schedule, so I am taking this one. It's Tuesday nights, so I stay in Davis for it. It's at Sacramento City College, the Davis center, close to campus. After work, I get off at 3 Tues-Friday, so I get dinner in town, then go to the library to study or watch tv on my netbook. The class is at night. I've been enjoying the class and it's not too hard, but it gets my brain working.
Next that is new, we got a new cat after the holidays! His name is Mozart, he is 9 months and an orange tabby. He is a lap cat and so lovable. We wanted a cat for Momo to play with and have as company. I'm so happy to have gotten such a nice kitteh. They get along mostly, but he tends to annoy Momo, who loves to be independent. New babehs are always good.
What else...been making my family photo albums of the wedding for a Christmas gift. Been taking a while since I got the flu a few weeks back, but almost done with them! When I got the flu mid-Jan, Mari happened to be coming up to visit. It was great, so made me food and basically took care of me while I was horribly sick.
Went to a few friend's birthday parties and had fun. Been hanging out more with friends, which I find more time for. I visited my friend HJ who visited from Korea. She is leaving soon, but was so nice to see her! My good friend is back from Japan, and was so glad to have her back in the area! She really is a good friend.
What else? So far, that is a lot of new things going on! I've been freshening up on my American History whenever I get the chance since I am planning on being certified to be a tutor. I want to be certified on several subjects and have that as a side gig. I've been looking for a new job with more responsibilities. I mean, come on, I can blog at work. I need something that will use my brain a bit more (hence the class) and just more work and closer to home since I commute 45 min. a day, luckily missing the traffic. It's time for something new.
What else? I'm on the Membership and Fundraising Teams for my chorus. Not that much to do, but enough to get involved. I have several meetup groups I'm involved in, but haven't had the time to really do much with those.
Time seems to go at a crazy speed now even though I make the most of my time and energy. I'm always on the go and so busy. I can't believe my wedding has come and gone so quickly! I make sure to plan things out so I don't miss anything.
Final words, I'm going to the Garlic Festival this year, damn it!!!
