Chinese New Year

Just like years past, our local park had a flower fair/market for CNY, and can I just say, it's the biggest pain in the behind ever? The buses were all re-routed, when we did catch one, they were always full and we could never get a seat, the sidewalks were all fenced off, forcing everyone to cross in one or two spots, the playground equipment was roped off so no one could use it, people EVERYWHERE...for crying out loud.

Ahhh, I feel better now. Thanks.

We spent CNY Eve with the Lo family, eating Hot Pot. I ate with chopsticks for the whole meal and have the hand cramp to prove it. I am so not proficient with those things yet. I also ate squid balls, which were gross and thousand year old eggs, which were grosser. There were many other things to try, but to list them would make me queasy.

Enjoy your shredded cheese.

And don't you DARE send my package to John or insure that sucker.

That is all.

Goodnight.

Seen Already

Dear Deanne,

Would you believe that they have squirt guns in the stores already. Yes, it is January and they are already in the store.

Do I need a Tailor?

With four children in tow do I look like I need or want a tailor? Why do they always ask me if I want a tailor?

mail update

We are now getting different colored postal notices in our box, with stronger wording "urgent", "must come now", blah, blah, blah.

PUH-LEASE!!!

if I type BIGGER can you hear me better?

I'm just giving this a trial run, to see if I can post something.

Why?

Why is it that not all Toys R Us stores carry the same things? Sha Tin had no Polly Pocket toys but Festival Walk did?

Just another "why" question.
