Pretzels

I have been glued to this chair the whole day; well, almost. I had to do the laundry and stuffs, too.

This bag of salty pretzels (not fried, it was written) with lots of sesame seeds kept me going ... and some. I just love it's just-right-saltiness, and the sesame seeds. Plus the crunch, of course. Too bad it's all gone, now.

Yummy memories ... now off to the grocery to buy some more!

today is Tuesday ...

finally, the template's looking a bit "orderly" now ... thought am still not that satisfied with the look. oh well.

.... finished the laundry
.... cleaned the grimy electric fan (ahhhh ... the wind's stronger now... lol)
.... cleared the table (trust me, it wasn't easy ... all those papers! went straight to the dust bin, of course. hahaha)
and finally: sort of "cleaned" my template! this last one was the one that took the longest ... and am still not yet done!
