I received a very early Christmas present yesterday.  It came in a DHL package, asked DB what’s in there, he said it was for me. Saw the returned address from IBM Corporation and then…..my bro’s name, the bro in Boston.   Opened the package and box which was so light, as if there is nothing in [...]

The little fella did it again

By | August 26, 2008

Yes, I am talking about Chase, the little fella.  He had the worse Hershey sprays ever last night or could be very early this morning while we were still sleeping.  There were poop sprays on the walls, carpets, rugs and patio door, from the dining room to the executive office.  We still could not figure [...]

The weekend…

By | August 25, 2008

…was going by too quickly for me.  I have been slacking a lot on my blog and let alone Facebook.  I am not doing much with Wordsraper either.  Wordscraper is the other version of Scrabulous.  Scrabulous was taken down for a few days due to some patented legal stuff going on between the creators of [...]

Photohunt: Wrinkled

By | August 23, 2008

This week’s PhotoHunt got me wondering, looking all over the house, closet, office and the car and finally something struck my melon.  There’s always a piece of a wrinkled item in the linen drawer.  Yes, the bedsheets.  Once they come out from the dryer, they are folded and go straight into the drawer and when it’s [...]

Mid August already??

By | August 19, 2008

Time really flys by for me, the older I get, the faster time zoomed by.  Why didn’t time fly quicker when I was a kid or teenager?  It’s already mid August and this Thursday is the start of the Great Minnesota Get Together, the State Fair.  I might go this year since I will be [...]

New floors some day

By | August 15, 2008

Our carpets in our house were almost brand new when we moved in.  The former owners replaced new carpets 4 years ago and maintained them very well.  When we saw the house we knew they have cats (the main reason why they had to replace their carpet) but their cats did not leave any mess at all.  Moreover, they [...]

New phone

By | August 14, 2008

DB ordered new phones for us last week since his phone fell into the toilet and has gone haywired.  Funnily, the phone can still received text messages but it cannot send any calls or text messages.  He purchased a Blackberry Smartphone for himself and a LGenV2 for me through Verizon Wireless.  Yes, the LGenV2 arrived on [...]

Crazy dogs

A lady who walks her dog every day stopped me one day asking me if I have seen the German Shepard that lives in the corner house on 130th Street.  I know which house she was referring to and she continued to tell me that her dog was attacked by the shepard.  Her dog is [...]

Ann’s new bike

By | August 11, 2008

Summer is usually quite short in Minnesota, about 5 plus months maybe and if we are lucky, from winter Mother Nature will skip the rest of spring and bring summer to the state in April.  When the weather is warm enough, bikers will be out on their bikes zooming around town which look darn cool.  [...]
