I Enjoy Being a Girl

It's been a while since I've blogged. I've been so very busy with the boys. Also, my husband has been working on the Tour of Sweeney Todd around the country so I've been handling things on my own for the time being. However, Greg, my husband, does get some breaks here and there. So, he comes home and helps out tremendously. This time he came home knowing how tough it's been during the long stretch of him being on the road that he arrived with some wonderful gifts.

He always has something for the boys. This time he had something in a blue box for me. I saw the box and know the that robin blue/turquoise signature color....yup! Tiffany's. I got some beautiful earrings from him and then a few days later I get my Nikon D40. I"m new to photography, but have always loved photos and have always wondered how the photographer did that. So, now I get to experiment and learn.

Love my hubby!

Happy Talk?

Well, this was the closest song I could think of in my delirium. It's been a crazy few days preparing for Chinese New Year. We celebrated the New Year's Eve dinner tonight with enough food to feed 50 people. I took my mother with me to Oakland Chinatown to pick up personalized fortune cookies for both of my son's classrooms. In the meantime, my mother is running around Chinatown standing in line for roast pork, duck, chicken, etc. There were so many people running around getting food for the New Year's Eve dinner. It was a bit crazy and hectic, but exciting at the same time.

Now, this place where I ordered the fortune cookies was amazing!! First of all, I wanted fortunes that kindergarteners would understand. Secondly, I wanted them individually wrapped. If you have kids or are around them a lot, then you would understand why. This place called KarMee Bakery makes them fresh. I ordered them on Monday and they were ready today. I could have had them rushed and be ready by Tues. What service!!!! It's even easier to order them online and have them shipped (www.forniafortunecookies.com). The owner, David Tse, was sweet and very professional. I ended up buying a bag of chocolate fortune cookies. It was delcious and a major hit with the kids.

It's crazy during this time of year and yet it's such an awesome time. My mother comes from a family of 10 siblings. So, times that by 2 and then their kids and their kids............a wild time had by all. My husband says it's like herding cats during the holidays here. We love it!!!

Gung Hay Fat Choy!!!!

Catching up with the times

Well, I"m giving this blog thing a try. Everyone keeps telling I should, well, my friends tell me I should because of all the traveling I have done in the past. It was just really difficult to keep up with all of this while taking care of our children, Geoffrey and Sebastian. They keep me busy!!!! They are wonderful, rambunctious, loving, and active. I have to stay one step ahead of them at all times or else the mommy with the bulging eyes tends to show.

Happy New Year!!! 2007 was full of fun and a lot of work. We travelled to Disneyland, Seattle for the premiere of Young Frankenstein, Sebastian started preschool and Geoffrey started Kindergarten. The excitement just doesn't stop and it's great!!! We are so lucky!!!
