Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

I am still debating if I still want to keep this blog after July of this year. The only reason I keep it is because of the teeny angpow money I get from the blog. Besides that I am getting lazy to update it. When I first started this blog it was all about SEO and all the big huhah of Google PR and submitting my url to some free web directory to get more traffic.  It did get some good traffic but also a lot of spam!  Drives me crazy which I finally didn’t even bother especially i journalling in a diferent private blog now.

I have been following The Pioneer Woman’s (PW) blog since Che-Cheh mentioned it some time ago, a year now, I think?  Tried a few of her desserts, the cakes to be more specific, some mains and a couple of appetizers.    They are good, too damn good.  And if you follow PW’s blog, she has recently published her cookbook and she is on a book signing tour and one of the stop is at the Mall of America in Bloomington this Saturday at 1 p.m.  It’s just in the neck of the woods for me, 10 to 15 minutes drive.  And since my former coworker has been asking me to go to the mall with her (she goes to the big mall for walks when the weather changes), I might take up her invite.  But then I didn’t buy PW’s cookbook,  yet.  Sure is malu-fying, right, go kay poh at the book signing and no book for her to sign?  I will have to get one at B&N once I get there.   I think I will be more nervous than PW since I’m not good when it comes to meeting someone in person – like “ngau cheong”!

…due to itchy fingers?

That mole is on DB’s head.  Yeah, he is going botak, so I told him to crew cut his head.  Anyways, I saw this mole-y thing on Sunday night.  He could not see it, so he asked me to take a picture and so he could send it to his mom.  MIL was a RN, I guess he wanted her opinion.  I told him to go make an appt with his doc but he said will wait for his annual checkup which is soon I think.   He also said he was scratching a spot on his head coz there were dry skin. 

Well, I am guessing this mole-y looking thing is from his itchy fingers, however, he said one of his prescription medications have skin rashes as side effects.  I will have to see if he will have it check out.  I can lead the horse to the water but can’t force it to drink.

Spring is not here yet and our neighbor is already having all sorts of fence companies to get quotes for PVC fence put up on his backyard. He is trying to sell his house since last year but had to put it off because of the housing market is still down the pipe. His current fence is like ours, chained link which is as old as our homes. I wants to get his home repainted inside out and replace the appliances before he puts it out in the market again this spring. We want to sell, too. We will have to see how his goes.

I received this about 10 minutes ago on my work email, and the rest of the recipients were employees from Yamaha.  I “X’ed” out the email addresses.  Upon first look at the email, it read foreign to me, but after a few minutes staring and trying to read it, I was able to read it, but do not understand some of the words.  Isn’t it funny how the mind works?  I have not read any Malay documents for a long time.  Now, this is what I don’t like.  I’m getting spam email (I consider this as spam emails) from Malaysia now?  Damn!
