DB, the sitter

Comments Off

DB had Ally yesterday and today.  She turned 2 months old yesterday, August 6.    She is pretty much a good baby, fusses when she’s tired and with dirtied diapers.  The boys did good with her.  Chase, the licker, licks her non stop, her feet, hands, legs, anything he can get a hold of.   I have to say this kid has a sensor on her head or body.  Each time we put her down after she falls asleep in our arms, she will be wide awake.  She is 15 pounds and I have to say, I have sore arms today.  DB said I need to lift weights so I can carry her.  I’m sure after a few times carrying her, I will be building muscles.

Cell phone fell in the crapper

Comments Off

DB’s phone felled into the crapper this evening.  He has been looking for new phones for a while but is putting that idea away for now.  He dried it immediately after it felled in but it’s not working the same.  The ringer does not sound the same.  He can’t call out and it shuts off by itself.  It’s acting exactly the same when I had my previous phone soaking wet in the rain.  I told him he has no other choices now and get on to Verizon to order the phone he so want.  At least it’s a phone and not a HDTV which we definitely will wait for some time to replace our projection tv.  So, if DB orders a new phone, I would be getting a new one too since mine is up for a new one.  EVery two years we get a new phone with a new contract, but now, by the 18th month, we are able to look for new ones.  Yeehaa, I might get the LG Chocolate or LGenV2…

Sunday afternoon out

Comments Off

Last Sunday I was not going to do much except walk the boys and then chill out watching NASCAR in the afternoon.  But that was not the case.  I went out to meet up with Corrine and we hooked up with Tammy and we had a girls outing.  We went to the mall to look for  Birkenstock shoes at Comfort Shoes store but no luck.  Corrine was looking for a close toe shoes and I was looking for something where I can were to work, not sandals or slippers.  There were a lot of other brands on sale.  They were very reasonable priced but I didn’t get any.  I think I have enough of shoes for the right now.

Our next stop was at The Galleria in Edina.  We had our lunch at a health foods restaurant.  It’s call Earth Food, I think.  The food is just so-so, not much to much to my liking.  While we were at the mall, I was looking for some kind of stand for the pot of plant I have right now sitting in the entryway.  I saw a lot of wind chimes in the pottery store, too which I wanted to get one but the prices are meant for the higher income folks.  Could not find the stand, we head out to Crate and Barrell where Corrine looked for curtains.  This store is another one of my favorites but I can never buy anything from there.

From there we were looking for another shoe store call The Good Feet Store, but instead we found a French pastry shop, Patrick’s Cafe.  Dang, the desserts were to die for.  I first tasted them during my birthday where Simmie bought some cakes and pastries for us.  The cheesecake was delicious.  Mhmmm, I might go again this weekend?  Maybe.

New plates for the Blazer *** 455

Comments Off

So, the time to get new tabs for the Blazer.  The tabs are just the same as road tax in Malaysia.  You renew it every year.  The Blazer’s tabs were due in July.  I took the renewal form from DMV (department of motor vehicle) to work so I can send the form with a check in.  The company I work for is sweet enough to provide such services for its employees.  We employees can renew our license tabs, boat license, motorcycle and don’t know what else that I didn’t bother to care for since I do not utilize them.  How it works is I enclose the form from DMV and the check into an envelope provided by the license bureau.  The license bureau officer comes once every Wednesday to the company to do all these license stuff for employees.  If you drop the envelope off on Wednesday you can pick the tabs up after 12 noon the next day.

When I picked my tabs up on Thursday, I saw they included new plates, too.  The first thing I saw on the plates was the numbers 455, and being a Chinese, it’s an automatic thing to get them Cantonese translation which means “die fast fast” (sei fai fai).  I told that to DB’s since those plates will be going up on his Blazer, he said jokingly, “Great.  Does that mean I will die faster?”  He knows now that the number 4 is a number that should be avoided if possible in the Chinese community.  I told him about the number 4 when I saw our house number which ends with a 4, too.  But I know he is not superstitious and so am I, but it’s just so weird how it pops right into my brain bucket when I saw those numbers.  Guess it’s the Chinese in me.

Photohunt: Cloud(s)

Comments Off

PhotoHunters

Cloud is this week’s  theme.  It was hard to find the sky with clouds these days, the weather has been so hot, clear blue skies with not a single cloud.  So, I searched through my pictures and found the below picture taken in March of this year.  Spring weather, blue skies with only one patch of cloud in the sky.    I find it kinda cool.  Can you see it?  Have a great weekend y’all.
