cco day 2

2nd day of being chief cottage officer. rainy day. I wonder what time does real housewife wakes up? 6am? 7am? that is way to early for me. I need my beauty sleep Sleepy smile

10:30am – woke up. yawn~~~

10:45am – set up my laptop on the kitchen counter, so that I can follow the youtube video below and started preparing for my bento lunch boxes.

11:00am – still cooking

11:30am – still cooking

12pm – still cooking…….who says making bento box is easy?!!!

12:30pm – finally done. packed the boxes. changed to a relax outfit.

1pm – saw the postman pad. passed the sephora package to the nice postman (save me a trip to the post office!). drove to the mr’s workplace

1:10pm – had lunch with the mr. the bento boxes are yummy. it’s hard work. I need to get some cute bento boxes on my trip to japan in january.

1:30pm – went to walmart to get some cleaning supplies while the mr went back to work. was a busy day for him.

2:20pm – went to tjmaxx. didn’t see anything I wanted except for some hangers.

2:45pm – went to homegoods. got some baskets and a starfish since I’m planning to re-organize some stuff at home.

3:30pm – went to michael’s. got another basket for mantao’s toys (they’re everywhere. he made a huge mess in my house!) and some ornaments on clearance.

4:10pm – came back home (no harassment this time). passed some snacks to my neighbor and chatted for a while.

4:30pm – browsed the web. played with mantao. watch judge judy again. hid under the blanket (it was cold).

7:30pm – watched the walking dead ep3.

8:30pm – did the dishes. cleaned the bathroom sink and shower.

9pm – showered

9:30pm – surfed the web and played with mantao. got a huge scratch from him Crying face

11:30pm – made sushi box lunch for the mr

12am – ate an apple while dancing around the kitchen. that’s my workout Nyah-Nyah

verdict……being a housewife ain’t easy. lots of physical activity compare to being at work where I spend 80% of the working hours sitting in my cube. tomorrow is chore day! lots of cleaning, washing, wiping, vacuuming etc.

nite peeps!

cco day 1

cco == chief cottage officer
my company shuts down for the whole week until new year. yippee~~~~ the mr. has to work aww~~~~~~ taking the opportunity to feel what it's like to be a housewife. hmm......will i like it? will i feel bored? will i hate going back to work? will i want to be a housewife? we'll know when the week ends and when we greet 2011.

i decided to write a daily blog entry to capture my week as a "housewife." ^_^

11am - left house. missed exit while daydreaming. made a u-turn.

11:30am - found a good parking spot in the mall. shopped for the mr. christmas present (i know christmas is over, but we agreed not to exchange gifts this year, but the mr. still surprised me with a gift. so, i have to get him something even thought it's late, rite?) apparently, a lot of people have the same idea. the mall was packed!

2:30pm - hopped in express, banana, abercrombie etc. didn't find anything there. final stop, pottery barn. i love everything in this store. picked up some holiday decor that were on sale.

3pm - left the mall (i only shopped at one wing of the mall). head to the grocery store

3:50pm - reached home. harassed by door-to-door salesman as i was getting out of my car. they are selling meat??!!!

4pm - played with mantao while watching judge judy lol..........wrapped the gift. not easy with mantao around.
