The Last Supper

I have been working for this company for over 7 years now. From the beginning, I always believe this company and the ex-chairman were quite generous. We had annual fishing trips, company picnic, departmental luncheon for Chinese New Year and Thanksgiving. The big event was the annual company Christmas Dinner party, which [...]

My Terrible 2

Oh, my terrible 2. No, I didn’t mean the terrible two-year-old, I meant my terrible 2 little rascals.
Last night, Alex was jumping in the bed. I asked him to return to his spot to watch some TV. Here was what happened.
Me: Alex, don’t jump. Go to your spot and watch [...]

Moving

I have already started to think about moving to our new place, although we need to wait for some minor renovation to be done. Over the last weekend, dear hubby and I went through boxes we store in the garage, trying to minimize the amount of items we need to transport to our new [...]

Yes, we did it!

We just signed our lives away this afternoon. Yup, we did. I thought I would be very excited and nervous about it, but no, I wasn’t. I was quite calm and not emotional at all.
It was funny, the gentleman from the title company who helped us with the signing process [...]

Stressed Out

We need to remodel the kitchen at the new place, that is when we get the keys to it. Remodeling is good, but I have been kind of stressing out a bit. I wanted to keep the current wood flooring for the kitchen and dining area, but there will be a minor problem [...]

Celebration

Just about 2 weeks ago, we celebrated our 5th anniversary. I picked Morton’s Steakhouse in the city. I like their steak? No, not because of the steak. I chose Morton over other places for their signature dessert - The Morton’s Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake.
We made the reservation for 7:15pm, but was able [...]

Small Business Essential

A few of my friends and I have always thought that we should start our own business. We enjoy planning special events very much. A wedding planning or party planning business would be ideal. We can work from our homes, and on part time basis. I wonder if there was small [...]

Ultra Compact Cars

The gas price has come down a little bit, but it’s still quite high. I’ve seen more and more of the Smart cars on the road nowadays. The Smart cars are quite popular in Europe. It’s ultra compact.
Today, dear hubby sent me an email. He rarely sent me any [...]

Gifts Idea

I am running out of gift idea for toddlers. I hate to give gift cards, because I strongly believe kids should unwrap their gifts to make the day special. I love to make personalized items for toddlers, and would make them feel special. This year, I’m thinking about personalized children’s books. [...]

Sept. 15, 2008 is …

an important day.  Well, yeah, it’s payday, but that’s not the reason.
Today, Ashlyn had her first haircut.  Yup, she is 4, and it’s her first haircut ever since she’s born.  Somehow, for whatever reasons, she started to asking if she could get a “trim” since last week, but we didn’t get around until today.  So, [...]
