Psalm 103:2-3

Psalm 103:2-3 Dear Lord, Thank you, Lord, for all you’ve done for me. Don’t let me forget that you are always blessing me whether I notice it or not. Thank you for forgiving my sins, and thank you for healing me. I trust you and love you, Lord. Amen 詩篇103:2-3 親愛なる主よ、 主よ、あなたが私のためにしてくださったすべてのことに感謝します。私が気づこうが気づくまいが、あなたはいつも私を祝福してくださっていることを、私に忘れさせないでください。私の罪を赦し、癒してくださってありがとうございます。主よ、あなたを信じ、あなたを愛します。 アーメン

Girl Power

Captain’s Log, Stardate 06.27.2006

Blog book giveaway:
My Thursday book giveaway is THREE WEDDINGS AND A GIGGLE by Liz Curtis Higgs, Carolyn Zane, and Karen Ball.
My Monday book giveaway is CONSIDER LILY by Anne Dayton and May Vanderbilt.
You can still enter both giveaways. Just post a comment on each of those blog posts. On Thursday, I'll draw the winner for THREE WEDDINGS AND A GIGGLE and post the title for another book I'm giving away. Stay tuned.

How cool that I have three distinct things that came to me which all show off Girl Power.

Kick-@$$ chicks: This is a neat article on two real-life, strong Asian women on SFGate.com.

Blogging Chicks: I joined up! The blogroll is on my sidebar.


RealBook.com: Helena Jeffrey posted a wonderful review of my blog! Isn’t that nice of her? I didn’t even have to break out the homemade chocolate truffles as a bribe. You can read the review and comment on it here. And while you’re there, you can check out her reviews of other blogs.

TMI:

Diet: I have horribly failed the past couple days. Well, okay, I guess I shouldn’t be melodramatic. Most of my meals were healthy, with lots of vegetables. But I ate potato chips on Sunday, and on Monday I indulged in some French fries. Yeah, yeah, potatoes are my downfall.

So do any of you guys have a particular food you can’t resist?

Ice cream. I could eat a 5 course meal and be about to burst. But if someone offers me ice cream, I fold.

I'm very impressed by your willpower though. I do tend to exercise enough - have you tried the 10-minute solution DVDs? I like the Pilates and the Kickboxing ones.

Camy, I love potatoes, too. Had potato salad on Sunday, but that was the first time in two years!! Hang in there. You're doing great over all. Sometimes we all slip for just a minute.

Oh, the food I can't resist, and I know this is so typical of us gals, but its the honest truth with me. If it has chocolate in it it's mine, especially the combined efforts of chocolate and peanut butter. I've gotten better about taking in smaller amounts and not overdosing on it. And I'll admit one other food, I love any kind of homemade bread, white that is. Total carb overload there.

I start working out my Dh's temp worker next week. This should help me out greatly, I have a partner so I"m not bored, and it's free!

Camy, thank you for all the kind and sweet comments you leave on my blog. I can't tell you how much it means that you take time from your busy day to not only visit, but to leave a comment. I look forward to coming to your blog during the summer while we hit wifi signals on vacation. Thanks for sharing!

Any type of desert in the house is my downfall. I was doing so good on my diet until I made dad cookies for father's day. I am my own worst enemy. Today is a new day. :)

Yeah, we're blogging chick sisters!

Sorry 'bout your diet. Wish I could find a diet that let me eat potato chips. But I can't complain, I've lost 2.5 pounds on my new diet so far. I lost 7.5 on the "other" diet for a total of 10 pounds! Woo-hoo!

Potatoes are a gift from God. My other downfall is Reece's Peanut Butter Cups. I also love French vanilla ice cream topped with Mrs. Richardson's Butterscotch Caramel Fudge. Oh, the list goes on....

Definitely! Peanut butter anything. Then there's my homemade chocolate chip cookies, and the delicious pound cake I made last Sunday, dry breakfast cereal, potato chips, oatmeal raisin cookies, ...

Definitely! Peanut butter, in just about any form. Then there's my homemade chocolate chip cookies; the pound cake I made last Sunday; dry breakfast cereal, especially Fruit Loops; potato chips, any brand, any flavor; oatmeal raisin cookies, ...

Don't feel badly Camy! As you can probably guess, I'm not doing too well in the eating dept either. I do really well during the day but the night time grazing is killing me!

Oops! Sorry for the duplicate response. Got an error on the first one so I didn't think it took.

Save the Date - Camy's Patreon Launch

My Patreon will launch in 1 week! I took all the results of the poll and I have hopefully created fun and appealing tiers. About my Patreon: I'm trying something new for the next 6-7 months. If it works, I'll continue, but if I end up not liking it, I'll stop it in September or October. I will be starting a monthly subscription membership on a new Patreon account. I will be posting the chapters of my current book ( Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7 ) so you can read ahead of when the ebook will be edited and published. My current plan is to post 1-2 chapters weekly. One reason I’m switching things up is that I want to get closer to my readers and build a tighter, more intimate community with you. You can comment on each chapter of my book, give a reaction, ask a question, or even correct mistakes. My books will become a dialogue with you. If you subscribe to my Patreon, you'll be charged monthly and have access to all the benefits for the tier you subscribe to. The

No Cold Bums toilet seat cover

Captain's Log, Stardate 08.22.2008 I actually wrote out my pattern! I was getting a lot of hits on my infamous toilet seat cover , and I wanted to make a new one with “improvements,” so I paid attention and wrote things down as I made the new one. This was originally based off the Potty Mouth toilet cover , but I altered it to fit over the seat instead of the lid. Yarn: any worsted weight yarn, about 120 yards (this is a really tight number, I used exactly 118 yards. My suggestion is to make sure you have about 130 yards.) I suggest using acrylic yarn because you’re going to be washing this often. Needle: I used US 8, but you can use whatever needle size is recommended by the yarn you’re using. Gauge: Not that important. Mine was 4 sts/1 inch in garter stitch. 6 buttons (I used some leftover shell buttons I had in my stash) tapestry needle Crochet hook (optional) Cover: Using a provisional cast on, cast on 12 stitches. Work in garter st until liner measures

Tabi socks, part deux

Captain's Log, Stardate 07.25.2008 (If you're on Ravelry, friend me! I'm camytang.) I made tabi socks again! (At the bottom of the pattern is the calculation for the toe split if you're not using the same weight yarn that I did for this pattern (fingering). I also give an example from when I used worsted weight yarn with this pattern.) I used Opal yarn, Petticoat colorway. It’s a finer yarn than my last pair of tabi socks, so I altered the pattern a bit. Okay, so here’s my first foray into giving a knitting pattern. Camy’s top-down Tabi Socks I’m assuming you already know the basics of knitting socks. If you’re a beginner, here are some great tutorials: Socks 101 How to Knit Socks The Sock Knitter’s Companion A video of turning the heel Sock Knitting Tips Yarn: I have used both fingering weight and worsted weight yarn with this pattern. You just change the number of cast on stitches according to your gauge and the circumference of your ankle. Th

Chopsticks and knitting

Hahahahaha! My husband, Captain Caffeine sent me this cartoon. The Asian and the knitter in me loves this one: My parents taught me to use chopsticks at an early age so they’re pretty comfortable for me. Did you know there are differences between Japanese and Chinese chopsticks? The Chinese ones tend to be blunter and more slippery whereas the Japanese ones are pointier and sometimes have a textured tip to make it easier to grab food. My mom will eat salad with a chopstick, which I have to admit is a bit easier than a fork, for me. Any of you knit? Any of you use chopsticks?

ICRS, part 2

Captain’s Log, Stardate 07.14.2006 For all you writers —check out my Story Sensei critique service Summer Sale ! Ends tomorrow! Blog book giveaway: My Monday book giveaway is ARMS OF DELIVERANCE by Tricia Goyer. My Thursday book giveaway is TANGLED MEMORIES by Marta Perry . You can still enter both giveaways. Just post a comment on each of those blog posts. On Monday, I'll draw the winner for ARMS OF DELIVERANCE and post the title for another book I'm giving away ICRS, part 2 (continued from part 1 ): Sue Brower had invited me to the Christy awards that night and I was so thrilled to get to go. Everyone looked gorgeous. I’ve never seen Brandilyn Collins or Meredith Efken in anything besides jeans before. I hadn’t seen Sue Brower in two years and I was deathly afraid I wouldn’t recognize her, but Wendy introduced me and saved me from doing anything remotely stupid like, oh, walking past her. Sue immediately slammed me with the big dogs—she introduced me to the VPs of sales and

Grace Livingston Hill romances free to read online

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci
