All new to me

Ok EVERYBODY has a blog - well, except - until today - me. So I have almost no idea of what I am doing. I have spent the last three hours setting this thing up and I am not even halfway done. For starters I need to edit the name of my blog. I live in POMONA Ca here in sunny Southern Ca.. Secondly I need to decide when  I am going to write this, as in how often, and what I am going to be writing about, Ok OBVIOUSLY about living in Pomona Ca, but WHAT about living in Pomona

I think my goals will be to write about what I eat, where I shop, and trying to keep it about restaurants, shops, and events in Pomona with a little cat story, a recipe, a joke thrown in to keep it fun, and what I think I am learning this week to keep it interesting.

What I am eating;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the ongoing battle of the bulge (so far the bulge has won) I am confessing that I eat altogether too much fast food. so far this week I have dined at Arby's & Del Taco - with coupons of course, but entirely too many calories and spending entirely too much money. My excuse, of course, is I want a division of labor in this house, and while I don't mind grocery shopping and cooking I don't think I should have to clean the kitchen also, and since the DH does not think dishes need to be done daily, and he should not have to sweep the floor and clean the stove as well as wash the dishes. We are at an impasse and so we dine on fast food as a compromise. So tonight I was eating my Taco Tuesday 3/1.09 tacos, thinking I might have been shorted on tacofilling  when a local rapper (Lil Saint) and his wife decided to introduce themselves  and we ended up in a long conversation that included advice from Lil Saint on how to start a Blog. So score one for eating out. it's rare to unexpectantly meet delightful new people at yout own dining table.

But the GOAL is to eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, and so far this week  the goal is unmet. At some point I HOPE I will have  fruits and vegetable graphics to show my daily average intake if fruits and vegetables for the week.

Hopefully in the future I will post links to coupons. Not today. (Someday I will use the english language more properly also, but not today. it will hel when I find out how to use spell chek.{--------------------------------Miss Cleo has left a comment})

What I am cooking

Obviously I need to put on my BIG GIRL pants and clean the kitchen. Ok. but I reserve the right to grumble about it.  there is some ginger in the fridge somewhere that needs to be cooked as well as ...........

This week's cat story

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am owned by 3 cats, White Heart, Miss Cleo, and Tommy, whose particular desciptions, and visages shall appear when I have learned how to post their pictures.

Miss Cleo has decided I need help to write this blog thing, She was standing on the keybord at one point, but is now content to sit on my chest, supported by my left arm, and purr instructions. She is not absolutly certan I know how to breath without her instructions, and I suppose I should be grateful for all her attention. I'll work on that attitude of gratitude, right now I find it  inconvenient. I WAS attempting to do a mental inventory of the fridge and pantry and possibly compose a recipe, but under the influence of my feline instructor i can only wonder what is in the cans of stuff reserved for feline consumption. Suddenluy she jumps down, and MEWS at me looking at the office door, then at me, takes steps towards the bedroom and repeats the mew, and the look, and takes a few more steps out the door. I THINK she has decided I need to go to bed, NOW! Not yet, boss I have a little more work to do

Shopping in Pomona

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Last Saturday Bob, my wonderful husband, decided to get new batteriis for the little remote control for the car, but the remote control that opens the doors has been dead too long, and new batteries will not revive it. I don't know how it works to get new remote controls for cars. Hopefully someone who does know will happen upon this blog and will educate me, but the Golden Times Jewelry (3172 N Garey Ave Pomona,CA 91767 (909) 392-1162) does have batteries for such things as well as the  batteries for the tiny little keychain flashlight on my ketchain, too bad the batteries cost more than the flashlight.

What is SAD news is this: ABERTSONS, which is next to Golden Times Jewelry, is LEAVING POMONA!!

OK so this has probably been common knowledge to OTHER PEOPLE for months, but because I don't usually shop at Albertson's it was news to me.! If I shop in that area, I usually turn right on the corner of Town, & Foothill, and shop at Sprouts, in Claremont. So now we have 1 Stater Bothers, on 1045 N. GAREY AVE. NO Von's. NO Albertson's and a Winco (90 Rio Rancho Rd. Pomona, CA 91766 )  and a Food For Less.(2090 S Garey Ave Pomona, CA 91766 The rest of the grocery stores are either Mom & Pops, or ethnic markets. Well there's also Walmart, if you count Walmart as a grocery store, but I don't think the Walmart in Pomona has groceries.anyway.

Obviously I am part of the problem. I am willing to drive to Claremont, Chino Hills or LaVerne to shop for groceries. Well NO MORE!! I have a JOB to do, and  that's to shop in Pomona, and tell you what I find here.
