I've been able to add my RSS2 to Facebook so now friends on Facebook can see my recent blogs when they visit my Facebook page. YAY!
I voted!
Well I finally finished filling out my ballot today. We are cutting it very close because we are a mail only district and in order for our ballots to count we have to send them in early enough but all those props were so confusing that I just couldn't understand them. Some of them I could understand like 1a, 2, 3 and 8. All of those I was able to understand. Also there were some offices that I had no clue who the people were because I haven't seen any commercials for them. They can't expect me to vote for them if they don't give me an idea who they are. Actually, I have seen some commercials but they didn't put a huge impact on me. I don't watch the local debates.
Anyway, finally finished it and it's going in the mail today, hopefully they will get it tomorrow then it will be counted by Monday so that on Tuesday my vote will count.

Huge anticipation
My body must've been very excited about Halloween today because I woke up at 1am but luckily was able to go back to sleep. Then I woke up again at 4am but was not able to go back to sleep. Around 5am I went to the ATM machine to get a $20 to give to the milk man. I was lucky that Chip insisted on going with me because when I went to the ATM a thug looking guy was walking towards me but when he saw Chip he went in another direction.
At 6:20am I left to go to the grocery store to buy some coffee and some candy bars for the neighbors kids, they are 5 for $2.00 right now so that was a good deal. I didn't want to buy a big bag because I'm not going to pass out candy to the kids who don't wear costumes and the kids who don't even live in our neighborhood. So I just bought 5 candy bars for our neighbors kids Devan, Dougie, Beth and Gracie and the 5th one will go to Karens nephew if he is with them, he's been spending a lot of time there so maybe he will be trick or treating with them.
After I left Albertson's I went over to McDonald's and bought us some breakfast. Sorry Sue, they didn't have any Monopoly tickets lol.
8am came and Ghost Hunters finally came on and I'm going to watch that the entire day WOOHOO!

Biking
Riding the bike is getting a lot easier. I rode the bike from my house to Oak and Palm before realizing I didn't stop for water once so naturally I stopped for some water. I got all the way to the park in 19 1/2 minutes this time which is I think 3 minutes faster. Probably because I didn't stop to take a water break so many times.
I also didn't sit on the picnic table for that long either, on Monday I think I sat there for 20 minutes before heading back home and this time I think it was like 10 or 15 minutes.
When coming home I didn't turn right on H st. going on 21st st. Instead I went further down to Chester Ave. because H st. has no bike lane in downtown Bakersfield but Chester Ave. does. I think it's easier to ride in a bike lane than cause an accident, don't you?
So, I went a further distance and it was only 40 minutes this time. The last time it was 45 minutes and this time I went a further distance which tells me that 1 I'm going faster and 2 my legs are getting more used to riding that I don't have to stop to take a break for them.
I can remember not too long ago that I could only ride up to California Ave. and back and that was like 12 minutes and when I came home I could barely walk because of the stiffness in my legs. If I am able to go faster and further then that just means that I will start to lose weight a lot faster. I can already see it in my face that the fat is starting to come off.
If I can just keep doing this 3 days a week it wont be long before I'm thinner. Oh and I need to start following the SparkPeople food plan again if I'm going to be successful. The food they have is low calorie and very good for us especially for Chip because he has borderline diabetes now so whatever I make for myself I can make for him too then before you know it he will be losing weight too (but just on food, he doesn't want to exercise).

PlayStation Store
Well Sony finally finished the PlayStation store for the PSP. Instead of buying stuff on their website they gave everyone Media Manager for PSP 3.0. I bought Media Manager for PSP 2.0 for $20 or $25, I forgot. But I guess it's ok because this is an upgrade and I don't have to pay to upgrade it.
If you have a PSP you don't need to use this to buy and download games. All you do is just go online with the PSP and go to the PlayStation Store. That is if you have WiFi access at home. If you don't then you don't have any other choice than to use the Media Manager with a USB cable. However if you want to buy/rent movies or tv shows you can only download them using the Media Manager. They don't offer this feature on the PSP. I've been looking at it since the firmware update.
The only problem with this is that in order to buy a lot of the games or movies/tv shows you must have more than just 1GB memory stick. They offer 16GB from San Disk now and they really aren't that much money. Some games and movies are more than just 1GB so you have to have a 4GB, 8GB or 16GB memory stick for those. The good news is that you can transfer games/movies/tv shows to your computer or maybe to a dvd-r and when you aren't going to play the games or watch the movies etc you can just delete them from your memory stick so you can make room for other things. Or if you have a disposible income just buy many memory sticks.
