Here is my first post under my new catagory of Book Review. I want to keep track of the books I read. Now that I am not in school, I can simply read for pleasure, no pressure of a test, don’t have to remember details and dates. I usually don’t even remember the author’s name. […]
Cleaning house can be rewarding. I wiped down the kitchen cabinets, the greasy vent hood, and the dusty top of the refrigerator today. I felt a great sense of satisfaction, even though no one but me would notice the change. Tomorrow I am planning to super scrub the kitchen floor, O Yeah!
The previous generation would say they will always remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when JFK was assasinated. Our generation will say we will always remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when the World Trade Center was hit on 9/11, 2001. It was a Tuesday, the day […]
Lookin’ good! She is Amy’s Build a Bear named Cookie. Wish you could look this good, don’t you?
Did you know this? The State funds are our taxes. Why should the use of my tax dollars be tied to a social agenda? Even though I support marriage only between a man and a woman, I would not want the use of State funds to be used only by people who are married. It’s […]
Yesterday was Amy’s first day at Suzanne Middle School. She was all ready to go – new backpack and her schedule of classes. Oh, I do wish I can turn back the time, just for a few moments, to carry my children in my arms just one more time… I met up with some other […]
Audrey passed her driving test on Friday! She can now officially drive on her own. Yesterday she drove to the library by herself. Today she drove to Sav-On. A taste of Freedom! Another life stage for me…
I forgot to post about this. It happened about a month ago. Today I was reminded of it an unexpected way. Here’s the long of it. One evening a month ago, Elliot says: My gas tank is empty. I should go get gas for my car tonight so I have enough gas to get to […]
I started to teach the book of Luke in Sunday School yesterday. My reasons for choosing to teach Luke are: 1. To get reacquainted with Jesus so as to live more like him. 2. The book of Luke seems to be less read than the other gospels. 3. I read that 50% of the materials […]
If you know a person well, I bet you can figure out their passwords to things. I was thinking of this because whenever I have to pick a password, I naturally fall into a certain line of thinking and come up with codes that I relate to. it’s so hard, near impossible, to think outside […]
We moved Elliot back to USC today. A year ago almost to the day, we moved Elliot into USC as a freshman. What a difference a year makes. 1. I did not cry today as I did a year ago, though I did feel a small lump in my throat. 2. Elliot was relaxed and […]
Where else can you strike a cool pose with Spiderman except at Universal Studios? We even got his autograph! Pictured here with Spiderman is my niece Sami (left) and Amy. We were there at Universal Studios on Thursday. The waterplay area got the kids soaked, perfect for a hot day of over 90 degrees. The […]
Does this happen to you? As soon as you say you will try to do something, like be more patient, or really keep your room clean, or be nice to your brother, you are immediately tested in that area, and you fail at it more than you usually do. I think I figured out why […]
Do you watch Stanley on Disney Channel? He’s a little boy with a hexagon shaped head. His best friend is a really smart goldfish in a bowl named Dennis. Stanley takes Dennis with him everywhere, and never drops the fishbowl. You learn a lot from Stanley, or rather from Dennis. Today Stanley learned that “just […]
Men Are Just Happier People– What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can […]
Bethlehem Village highlights for me after four days: A little boy came up to me 3 times to give me a hug just to say, “Hi Auntie Katy!” The 3rd time he says, “My name is Warren.” “I know that,” I said, “and your mom’s name is Eustine.” He was taken aback. “How did you […]
Bethlehem Village Our church was transformed into Bethlehem Village this week for Vacation Bible School 2006. Isn’t this the cutest outdoor scene? I bet you can’t guess what the whole thing is made out of – Amazing things you can create out of cardboard boxes! Check out Dan’s blog for a good description of what […]
I am not stupid (don’t argue that please), but Elliot quoted a comment from Slashdot that kind of described me, other than the stupid part. There are techno-snobs and there are techno-phobes. I am obviously of the latter. We switched from Verizon to Cingular cell phone service. Now I have to learn to use a […]
front door Have you ever had to choose a paint color for your house? It’s not easy. The paint companies such as Dunn-Edward, Behr, etc. has nicely coordinating pallets for you to choose from. In the end, the actual appearance is likely to be different from what you imagined. That is my experience anyhow. I […]
Christians United for Israel is an interesting site.
