Life with the Two Crazy Dogs

Ok, this post is long over due.

Just to update a little, school is done for this semester. I handed in my portfolio of two papers on Tuesday, May 15th. I am so glad it’s done with. Sixteen weeks seems an eternity. I registered for a summer class, Principles of Management, which commenced on May 31. I even signed up for eFACTS which will deduct a monthly payment from my checking every month. Paying the entire lump sum is way too much for me. Boss even approved my tuition reimbursement application. Yippee!! It’s too bad my colleague is not signing for this class. So much for a buddy. I was super busy during Mother’s day weekend. On Sunday, I made some fried rice and curry chicken for the week’s dinner. In the middle of frying the onions, I called my mom to wish her Happy Mother’s Day. It is always nice to call home whether to my mom, dad or my sis. I always want to call my brother who is in Sabah, but he is located in the jungle with no service on his cell. Back to my call with my mom, it was short and sweet. We talked for 21 minutes because that’s all I have left on my card. I keep forgetting to buy more minutes, which I think is more procrastination than forgetfulness.

Mom and dad were still awake watching football. I got all the scoop about their remodeling of the bathroom and the best thing was installing air conditioners in the living room, master and the second bedroom which was room. She said she wants to install the air conditioner in that room so that when I come home for a visit I can sleep better “shu shu fook fook” (comfortable). The last time I was in Ipoh at my parents’, I was over at my friend’s home more than I was at my parents. After I was done cooking, I went to Mernards and bought two strawberry plants and three lilies plants. I even bought a barrel for the strawberries, extra dirt and cedar mulch. I went right to transplanting them when got home. Moreover, my lavender plants came 2 days ago and I planted them, too.

Just this pass week I was just tired. The whole work week I went to bed late and when the end of the day on Friday, I knocked out on the couch while Survivor:Fiji (recorded) was on. I was out for an hour plus till DB got home and I still refused to budge. My tired ass just couldn’t move, but I had to coz I need to get my groceries done and get dinner. Since it was Friday, it’s our junk food night – Chinese take out from Satay-2-Go.

Saturday, I went to the consignment shop to get some pants and jeans for my widening butt. I think I spend about 2 hours in that store going through all those clothes. Then I proceeded to ProEx to get my passport pictures taken. I hope that the pictures will work since the background is not sky blue. From there I went to Target and Cubs and finished my grocery shopping.

When I got home, DB was getting ready to mow the yard. After I put away the groceries, I went out to pick up poop. It was warm out and I could feel the sun burning my skin on my arms. Needless to say, I already have a tan and summer is not here yet.

On Sunday, Simmie, Forrest and I went to the Minneapolis farmer’s market. It was my first time there. The wind was nippy. Despite the weather, there were so many people out there. I bought 5 more lily plants. From the farmer’s market we wanted to have lunch at an Indian restaurant but they don’t open till noon. So, we went to the oriental store to get my oriental groceries done and after that we went to Sambol restaurant in Eagan. Great lunch with great company. I was so full that I skipped dinner.

It seems my weekends are always busy. I hardly have much free time to do my stuff anymore. *Just wait till school start!!*
