Chapter 26 of Jannie's Life

So this was Christmas 2009- I must say that I was really happy with all my gifts this year. I'm actually playing with my digital frame bob got me. It's amazing how clear the photos turn out. I'm loving it!
So the year of 2009 is offically coming to an end. I can not believe how fast time has gone this year. So let me see- what are some of my accomplishments this year....

1. Graduated w/ my BA
2. Lost 10lbs- i guess that's better than nothing
3. Start up some photography and was SUPRISINGLY very sucessful- got my gears all paid off within a few months
4. Learn to love my family and to be more patient with them
5. Got a job as an Academic Advisor @ Regency

For a moment there- I was starting to lose faith in myself..but now as i sit here and look at all my accomplishments (big or little)...I'm very pleased with what God has blessed me with. Must I say, I thank you Lord for guiding me and being by my side every moment of the day- I loved every moment of 2009 and am waiting to see what 2010 brings! PARTY ON!

They called me today

I'm all in! Happiest person ever! Way to start the new year!

Regency Beauty Institute

I had an interview w/ them today and it went so well- i couldn't believe it. I'm pretty confident i'm in. We'll just have to see by the end of this week. I'll keep yall posted!

Christmas 2009

I must of been a good girl this year, because Santa got me loads of nice gifts for Christmas. LOL. Here's what I got:
1. Kodak Digital Frame
2. Fredricks of Hollywood Bra
3. A white robe
4. White Slippers
5. Bottle Tops (I think bob really got them for himself)
6. Jelwery from Forever21
7. 2 tops and a sweater
8. Avon cosmetics
9. Hello Kitty Lamp
10. Scarf, Wallet, and Journal from Urban Outfitters

Alot of stuff huh? Anyway- I had to exchange the bra today. Bob, Emmy, and I went to MOA today after church. BTW, bobby is offically president of Reedmer Lutheran Church. LOL...it's funny b/c mr president showed up to church 30 mins late. So much for a president huh? But anyway- I was hoping to be more efficent with my shopping but Bob and Emmy were a hassle to shop w/ b/c they didn't want to do anymore. Once payday comes, I'm hitting up the stores by myself. LOL....
New years around the corner. I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. Emmy will be 3 years old soon and I"ll be 1 year older. Bob and I woke up extra early today and discussed having some time alone. I think it's offical that this late March or April, we're gonna head to Duluth to spend a weekend alone. It'll be our 7 year anniversary March 28th. Crazy huh? It felt like I only married him 3 or 4 years ago. But I am truely enjoying spending my life with him. Emmy and Bobby make my life go round. We also talked about moving out this Spring. I'm crossing my fingers that it'll happen. Let's hope it does. Okay bloggers- goodnight!

Chelle's Baby Shower

Mommy to be- I'm really excited for baby to come! Don't be stressed or scared...your labor will be just fine. I"ll pray for you. LOL- I hope you enjoyed your babyshower just as much as I did. I can't wait to see Ryder and watch him grow up. Get ready for sleepless nights. Hehehe....Enjoy your photos.

Break-Out

I don't know what the deal is but I swear, I've got like 10 pimples all up in my face. It's fugly as heck- Mom called me last night to lecture me on my weight, once again. She just kept going and going and going like the Energizer Bunny. Some of the things she said were really true and it made me rather sad. Bobby and I have made a commitment together to try and lose some weight. I think we're gonna be joining a gym pretty soon and watching what we eat to get back to shape. For me, it's not even all about how good one looks anymore. It's about being healthy and in shape. I want to live a long life, happy, and sick free. I need motivation and encouragement. I hope Bobby and I can go through with this together.

So excited for Christmas

The tree is loaded with gifts this year, as it is every year. I've got a lot under the tree and am soooo excited to see what i got. I"m such a big kid at heart. I swear, every year, i'm the first to wake everyone up to open presents. I LOVE it! LOL..only 4 more days! Can't wait!

Mt. Fuji Habachi

WAS THE SHIT! I tried it for the first time ever and loved it. The food was amazingly good and the chef was rockin it! Bob and I took Kekis and Emmy with us and they enjoyed it as much as we did. Will have to do it more often.
Oh btw- I was able to finish xmas shopping for the family. Bobby is horrible at secretly buying me gifts, i swear. We went to target together and he bought me my gift from there and hid the gift behind him so i couldn't see. Lamo huh? I"m so pysched for christmas. I feel like Emmy...So anxious to open my presents. Emmy asks me here and there if she can open her gifts and when I say no, she whines about it. LOL....

Potluck @ Lunch

Made some brownies for potluck today. It's about 10am and I don't really feel like going to work. Thank God I have this weekend off. The next 3 weekend, I'll be stuck at work. Dumb huh? This is why I fucken hate retail...(k-enough complaining cus i truely need the money). I've been looking all over for a nice pair of boots. I checked Macy's at MoA and no luck either. Hrm..Dsw had nothing. Where to now? Any suggestions.

Presents!

I want presents! Keke..Bob and I have got to get some xmas shopping done this weekend. I'm so behind this year..I haven't even gotten our xmas cards out yet. Don't think i'll get to it this year. I'm bad this year. Too much to think about, too much going on, too much stress on my shoulders. I got my first paycheck from Wells. It feels good to have some extra cash coming in. That means I get to spoil myself a little. Heheh...

Back to working in a Bank

Seriously? I'm only doing it for the extra cash. I hate working retail- the weekends-and sales. I hate it.

Quality time with the family

We're here in Two Rivers and I'm loving every second of it. Friday morning, I was up early at 8am, took grandma out shopping, came home and cooked lunch for grandma and grandpa. I was able to massage him and help out w/ his acupuncture thing. He's feeling better.....It helps easy my mind. I made Pad Thai and we had a suprise cake for Ling. Today, I was able to get up early and make breakfast food for the entire family. I was determined to come home this time and cook for my family. Through-out the years, I'm in Minnesota, always cooking for my Vang family. This time, I wanted to be home and do nothing, but cook and take care of my family. I done being selfish. I love my family.....We couldn't make it exactly for Xmas but at least we're here now and I"m happy.
I finally met Grace. She's the cutest little thing ever. I got to kiss her, squeeze her, and play w/ her. I still can't believe Tony's a dad....I can't believe my siblings and I are having kids. It's crazy how time has flown and we're all grown up.
Jackie and Billy came home to visit and of course meet me for the first time. It was nice that I finally got to see them. I'm glad they're making the initiative to come out here and spend time with us. About 15 years loss...but it's ok. Things happen for a reason. The important thing is that they're here and now apart of our lives.
It's about time for bed...I'm dead tired..Heading back to MN tommorrow morning to start my first day of work at Wells Fargo. =/

DRIVERS IN MN

ARE STUPID. AS SOON AS THE WEATHER CHANGES, THEY DRIVE CRAZY!

Tired

I've been so drained from training this past week. It's going well....
Aunt Ling called and grandpa's sick in the hospital again. I'm really worried. I love my grandpa...I wish I could do something to make him feel better. My mom is a super hero. She's been there for everyone. She's spending the night w/ Grandap again tonight. Hmmm...if anything, please pray for my grandpa to get better and for my mom to stay strong. At this time, they need it most. We plan on visiting next Thursday when I get outta training...I can't wait to be there. I just want to be there and comfort them when they need it most.

XOXO

December will be here in 2 days. Crazy how time flew by this year. I've been picking things up here and there for the kids for xmas for the past month or so...We are offically done shopping for the kids. Now, we have to start looking for the adults. It's always hard buying gifts for adults. Jon got Bobby a really expensive gift this year so we'll have to make up to that. LOL. It would be bad if we got him a small gift. I have an idea of what to get for everyone else.
I start working again tommorrow. That means sleeping early tonight. No later than 10pm...let's hope. I start training downtown Mpls. Bob and I went down there to find it so I don't get lost tommorrow. HOpe it goes well. I pretty sure this is what God has in store for me so I'm just gonna go with it. We'll see what 2010 has in store for me and my family.
We got some small stockings for everyone to decorate and hang on the tree. I also grabbed some candy canes! It's always the best decor for the tree along w/ some red ribbons. Excited for xmas!

Black Friday Deals

Lisa, Tina, Becky, and I were maniacs this year. We hit up Target at 4am in the morning. Niam Lo Tou wanted electronics so we went there first. I got Emmy two 2-piece sleep wear for $5 each, "Made of Honor" movie for $3.99, "The Office, season 2" tv series for Bobby @ $12.99, and 2 towels @ $1.50 each.
At Walmart, it was beyond crazy. People are ghetto there and it was extremely busy. I didn't find much there. I got a blender and a small grinder @ $4 each, and a princess treasure box for Emmy @19.
We made it home at 9:30am; however I wasn't satisfied. I really wanted the TomTom GPS at Target so I dragged Bobby outta bed and went to Target and WAlmart again. Bob ended up getting "The Office", season 3 &4 and my emmy a winter jacket. He said the one Dara got her was a little too thin. The GPS and Portable DVD players were out. I was sad..but we were able to find a portable DVD player at Walmart in an abandon cart. It was only $49 so we grabbed.
Emmy loves it! Now when I'm on the computer doing my own thing, she can be busy on her own computer-so she calls it. LOL....it's also nice for traveling as well.
I love shopping on Black Friday. Can't wait till this time next year.

BLACK FRIDAY

I so cannot wait to shop like a maniac on Black Friday. Tina, Lisa, and I are ready to hit it up! I love the rush and the awesome deals. Bob and I were hoping to visit my family in Two Rivers but by the look of it, it probably won't happen. I hear snow is on its way as well. The funeral is now over. Everyone is drained from it. Ready to eat some turkey, ham w/ pineapple, mash, gravy, and more!

Long Weekend

Tommorrow is the offical burial of Grandpa Pa Chai Vang. He was kind, sweet, and the cutest. When Bob brought me home, it was him who was standing on the front steps (w/ a chicken, of course) giving us his blessings. The story of grandpa and his folklore stories will forever live on. We love you Gramps and will always remember you in our hearts. Goodbye...we'll see you at the gateway of heaven, our offical home!

Been thinking alot

This weekend is gonna be crazy. I'm gonna be tired outta my brains. Guess Chee's not coming to babysit Emmy on Sat anymore but Mom and Dad will so she'll be busy w/ them. I've been thinking alot about my future and what my career holds for me. As happy as I am w/ my BA, I feel like it's not helping me. I'm starting to consider Accounting. I think in January, I'm gonna take some Accounting courses at NHCC to see if I like it. If I do, I"ll probably complete the certificate there and pursue accounting as a career instead...maybe an accountant for Wells Fargo. LOL...we'll see. Only God knows.

At the bank again

Got the job offer at Wells as a personal banker- however i turned it down and asked for them to reconsider me as a part time teller. I'm meeting up with the branch manager sometime this week and should be on my way to gettin some extra cash in the door while I do some volunteer work, make another baby, and spend time w/ my girl.

1 week before the offical funeral

It still feels awefully weird the fact that grampa is gone b/c it just doesnt feel that way. Maybe I havent gotten use to him around at someone's house for a long time...You know that feeling = where you go somewhere and you expect that person to be there. Maybe b/c he's been in the old folks home for so long.
The funeral is a week away and I'm not sure if i'm ready for it. I'm sooooo freakin scared of funerals, coffins, funeral homes, etc....but what can you do when it's your person. You have to braven up that damn heart and let it be. I know it's gramps and he would never do anything to scare me or the family...but damn, those Hmong funeral homes are creepy up the ass. I hear scary stories about this funeral home we're doing gramps at. Errgg....
It's gonna be work work work and more work up the butt. We've decided to keep the funeral home open 24 hours and it's gonna be really tiring for the men. My family is coming for gramps funeral. Can't wait to see them....It'll suck though cus i wont' be able to enjoy time with them...I guess there's always next time.

Christmas Shopping

Last night Bob and I went out to do some late shopping. Got my Emmy her pink pony and a purse set w/ fake makeup. I know she's gonna love it. Now I offically got Emmy, Cela, and Christian done. We're broke so we're going cheap this year...
I'm gonna call up Toys for Tots this year and get my daughter registered for some extra free toys. Excited.

Long day wasted to nothing

Watching Vampire Diaries and it's scarying the shit outta me....

A day

Emmy got her flu and H1N1 shot today. She was such a big girl...I took her to target to buy some new princess markers and an Ariel notepad b/c she was so good. Visited Chelle's new house and I envy her sooo freakin much. I'd love to have place of my own...
The long ass drive back home made me hungry. Emmy wanted McDonalds...but we ended up at Boba. Bobby joined us. He could of died today b/c his stupid machine exploded and metal parts were flying all over but luckily, he wasn't at the machine otherwise his head would of probably been chopped off. Yeah distrubing... Anyway- he got pissed off, took vacation, and came home.
I'm feeling completely lost. I'm not sure what I'm suppose to be doing...What can I do to better my life. I need to find a good job. I don't care if it's an Admin/Office/Clerial position. Acutally that's what I prefer right now b/c I can't get into the Education system.
I just want to be in place and ready to move to the next step, but instead, I feel like i'm back at step 1. I'm overwhelmed.

I want Boba

They make my favortie Pad Thai =) Yummy. But Bobby says no... =(

A wasteful day

Saw a Wells Fargo Home Consultant today-
I wanted new boots so I roamed Payless, Famous Footwear, DSW = NOTHING
Another night of the traditional night watch-
Home and annoyed by loser...why is loser trying to find a way around me? LOSER UP THE ASS- Other than that, good night bloogers!

5 Hours of Shopping

Emmy and I were out and about for 5 full hours. My girl was sooo good this time. She walked the whole time, no nagging, no running around...just hanging out with mom as a good daughter. LOL. I love my little punk. What would I do without my best friend Emmy.

MY FAVORITE

They are stunning~

Place to Call Home

...I need to find a place where I can find inner peace...

I'M IN LOVE

WITH A STRIPPER! YOU KNOW IT, SHE GOT IT.

Grace Kashia Ly

is offically here! Actually, she's been here for a couple of days already so this is a late update. Hehe...She's cute as ever...got 2 dimples, one on each side! I already got her a x-mas gift already. Here comes spoiled. I'm excited b/c I am finally an Auntie from my side of the family. Crazy though...Tony as a dad is still kinda weird..LOL...

Weekend of Halloween

Plans were changed b/c of the funeral meeting. I'm was annoyed by everything...the night ended with us 3 at Fridays dining for in for dinner.
Sunday-day light savings time rocks my socks! I get to get up late and it's still considered early. LOL. Oh so get this, after i washed up my girl, i let her play in the bath tub. I walk pass and she's saying, "ACURA-CA-DABRA, ACURA-CA-DABRA" to the shampoo, while pouring water on herself. She's such a dork. This is why I love her so much.

LIFE IS GOOD

Omg these are too cute. I wanna get one for my Emmy. Saturday, we're hitting up Mall America. I've cooped up in the house for a whole week. Ready to shop, shop, shop, and of course TRICK OR TREAT!

btw..i miss my "life is good" hat.

New Addiction Coming Soon

Tis Nyab is in labor. I'm so excited! She was at the hopsital this morning- she's only 2 cm dialated so they sent her home. I'm expecting baby in the next 8 hours.!!!

By this time tommorrow...Grace will be here!

Found It

Finally got a long lasting lip color that I like. I got $23's worth of stuff at CVS for only $8 b/c of all my coupons. Yippee. I love love love coupons.

Dad's Girl

Talked to my dad this morning after his surgery. Told him I loved him. I'm so thankful the surgery went well.

Lazy Weekend

We basically sat home all weekend. I should be ironing my clothes and preping for my interview tommorrow but I so do not feel like it. Got a load of laundry to do still and the slim in 6 video.
The workout has been sucessful because I can feel my back shaping up a bit. My ass is also starting to shape up a little. Heheh..

Dad's surgery is tommorrow. I called him to tell him I'd pray for him. I love him! I really want to go home but I can't so all I can do is pray. I love you dad!

I've been looking at Preschool for Emmers. Redeemer has preschool but they charge $85 a month for 2 days a week. If I find a good paying job, I'd like her to attend. It will only make my girl smarter. I"m so proud of her. She's as smart as can be. She's maxed out smart. Smarter than any other kid I know.

Hmm...i'm blank so goodnight bloggers! God bless you!

Bethel University

Another interview on Monday. I need all the prayers I can get. It's tooo competitive nowadays. Please let there only be like 3 of us applicants and not 50.

My Love for my Family

My grandpa's been having back issues...apparently the tissues btwn this spinal cord are worn out and that causes the pains. Besides medication, the only cure to this pain is having surgery...however with his diebetic problem, having a surgery usually leads to negative outcomes because of their healing process. I'm so worried. I'm worried outta my mind. To top that my daddy is having surgery on Monday. He has a herna and has been having gal bladder issues...therefore 2 operations are being done at once. Grandma is still in constant pain with her legs...and Steven is having bloody stools. I feel so bad, so hopeless. All I want to do is go home to them so I can love them, care for them, and cook for them. But I can't even do that...all i can do is sit here and cry about it. The pain that I feel is so deep....and so helpless. It's always only my mom. My mom has to take care of everyone...I feel for her and I want to be there to support her. I love my family.....and all I want is happiness and good health for them...for all of us.

Quote by a famous poet

"My second life time will be spent with you..."

Restless Leg Syndrome?

Goly- my legs have been bothering me lately throughout the early mornings. Its a tingly feeling that bothers me. It's only 6am and I'm up b/c of it. Darn-it. I guess it gets me up early but i'd rather be sleeping.

Family meetings beyond family meetings

This baptist church mixed with our family does not go. They're weird to the max. Anyway-Sunday's family meeting on Grandpa's funeral was lame. Johnny got upset and almost cried. Everyone was talking over everyone. Nothing really got accomplished. Thus, with all the overwhelming emails today, I then take a deep breath and again think to myself, I will not argue with anyone over this. It's not worth it. I'm going with the flow and whatever goes, goes. Regardless of how we do it, outsiders will always have something to say. Am I right? So we do it the best we can and that's all that matters.

In Chicago

Floral a try

I helped Tina put 2 floral boutiques together and I thought I did a pretty good job for a first timer. I'm pretty proud of myself. Hehehe..I'm bored. I need a new hobby to keep myself busy. Bouts to look into JoAnn and Micheals. Liza!!! I wish you lived near me. We'd be the bomb diggy with all our fricken hobbies.

Grandpa Passed

He's offically gone. Left us at about 9ish this morning. It's his time-He's suffered too long. Along with one's loss brings family drama. I hate it. I've decided that I'm going to stay out of it. No need for drama or to point fingers. There's no need..no reason... at a time like this, I think comfort and support is what's needed.

Puppy Chow

is Yummy...thanks to chee-lee. Austin is weird. he just flashed me...he has a red dragon fan on top of his head while he moves the chicken. weirdo ...and he says, b/c we're family.

Chicago

Here I come! In milwaukee at Tis Nyab and Tony's place. I'm excited for Chicago..hopefully it's not too cold.

My Sassy Girl

Ready for Chicago

So ready to pack and get the hell outta hea!! I took some pictures today and realize how freakin fugly I am. I hate myself. Time for a new me.

FOUND MY RING

OMG...YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHERE IT WAS! For some odd reason, it was inside my quilt blanket. I don't know how it got in there...but damn- I'm sooo fricken happy! I really though I lost 10 g's. My ring is never leaving my finger again and if it is- it's going in a safe spot. Learned my lesson for life!

Grandpa

He was admitted to Woodwinds again. Poor Gramps is really hanging in there, fighting for his life. He can't even talk anymore...can't eat- food is going through a tube only. I honestly don't think he'll be around too long anymore.

Casting Call for Gap Babies

I submitted these 2 photos to Baby Gap for the Casting Call. We'll see if she gets in. If she does, we're due for a trip to San Fran and more!

Bargins @ Baby Gap

Hot steamy shoes for Princess Jasmine (Emmy). She loves the pink ones! Got em for 3-4 bucks each. Love the deals!

Emmy's 1st Bike

Auntie Chee bought Emmy her first bike ever! She loves it!!!! Riding bikes together has been the highlight of her day. My dad taught her how to ride it and she caught on in seconds. Too smart.

Interview

Northwestern called me in for an interview. I'm super duper excited and I hope this is the position I have been waiting for. I am putting this position in God's hands and going from there. I'm at school in the lab..was suppose to be downstairs for the Job Fair but I went down there and there's not much at all. Plus, I'm kind of nervous and don't know what to do or expect for a Job Fair. We'll, I'm off to Roseville. I want a new purse so I'm stopping at Macy's.

Shedding a Tear

Today, I shed a tear for the lost of my ring. I litterly bawled my eyes out. After 1 whole day of looking for my ring and 1 full week of not seeing it....I have lost hope of its recovery in the house. I'm so bumbed by my dumb behaviors of taking it off and on. I'll never have a ring like that again...Bobby will never allow it again. I hate myself...I do!

Can't find my Diamond Ring

I'm sooooo fricken upset at myself. I have no clue where my ring is. That rock fricken cost me the amount of a fricken car and I cannot find it. The last time I rememeber it was when I was out last Saturday for Sea's bday...then after that- i have no recollection of where the heck it went. I looked all over the room- no luck. Sighs* Johnny said he saw it recently- but can't remember where. I have hope there it's here in the house somewhere b/c when I go out, I don't take my ring off...I'm just crossing my fingers that Christian didn't throw it away. Damn! Lord let me find my ring...please!

I'M ON TO ROUND 2

HOPING AND PRAYING I GET THE POSITION- TOMMORROW, ROUND 2 BEGINS. YIPEE! If I get it, I'll be the happiest person on earth. Hehe..I'm tired of being at home, bored, and broke. I'm ready to get out there, earning money, getting to know new people, and getting my life on track. If it all falls together- we're hoping (or should I say I'm hoping) to move out before the end of the year. Save up for a year and buy our own home.

I HAVE 1 REQUEST: Please Pray for Me. Thank You!

M to the O to the A

Bobby, Emmy, and I spent the evening at "Mall America" as Emmy says. Bob got some new clothes, Emmy got 2 cute cheap as shoes from Baby Gap, and a Baby Gap pants that fit very well. Me, a pair of $2 flip flops at Old Navy, and a headband. Nothing much. Emmy really wanted to go downstairs to see what Underwater Adventures was all about so we took her. It was not worth the money but the booger had fun. Here are some photos from the evening. Enjoy.

Farmville Freak

I've officially become addicted to farmville. Maybe I should really give up the city life for the country life. SIKE.

Working it off

We hit up the gym again tonight. My hips are and legs are really sore for some reason. I think this busy weekend did it- Anyhow, I wasn't able to workout as long as usual but as long as I was there doing something, i think i'm okay. We're heading to Green Bay/Two Rivers this weekend. Ger Ber's daughter is getting married and Bobby and I have to show up b/c Uncle Ber helped Bobby's side alot when we got married. Not excited for the road trip but excited to see my family.
Montreal Courts Apartments are amazingly cheap, new and up to date, and very very roomy. The rooms have walk in closets, the bathroom is huge, and the living room is also very big. If we sign a 12 month lease, we also get a free 32inch flat screen lcd tv for free. So f'ing tempting! Only thing is that it's off 35e in Little Canada. I'm totally up for it if Bob's up for it.

Emmy's Out

Anna & Cheng's Family Photoshoot

Her Uncle David dropped by and decided to take Emmy to hang out with him today. It was a nice relief on me because I was able to work on Anna's photos, work on my resume, and look around for jobs. I also gotta clean up the room before that girl gets home. I wish my sisters were around cus for sure, I'd have more time to myself. Check out some of the photos I took.

Weekend Madness

Had myself a busy weekend. Saturday was more of a tiring/exhasting day however; Sunday was great. The photoshoot with Anna, Cheng, and the twins went great! The weather was a great turnout for great photos. I also went to Jess's babyshower and had a great time with all the TCF girls. She decided for a suprise baby so we didn't know the sex of baby so she didn't get much clothes. In fact, everything was kinda just toys b/c they're pretty unisex. Anyhow, I'm home now and Emmy is being a trouble maker. Bob and I were trying to take a nap but busy body wouldn't allow us so now i'm up updating this and ready to edit Anna's photos.

Emmy Sleep Walks

This girl is crazy. She took a nap and woke up to walk around like a zombie crying and trying to give no-one something in her hand. LOL>
The other night she was sleeptalking as well...she was kicking and crying and said, "No I don't want to clean up". Hehehe..Bob and I laughed!
Her dad slept talk when he was young too...he woke, walked around the house, and said, "Rice Cake Peanut Man". LOL..I have myself 2 crazy sleep talker/walkers.

Thanks Bill

Went in to see my career services advisor today. I'm really glad I did b/c he gave me some good ideas on job searches. I'm confident that God has something planned for me soon. I'm excited for my busy weekend. Muah!

Pu-pu-pussy control

Have you ever heard of that song? LOL. Pu-pu-pussy control!

Target

I'm crossing my fingers! I'm applying for a Team Assistant position at Target. I'm taking a deep breath in and out...hoping I get a call for an interview.

It's 11:00 o'clock on the top drop

That was when i woke up today. Lazy fat ass is me. So I went to work out last night. Tina got a membership to Anytime Fitness and I tagged along. I gained all the weight I lost w/ Chee and on my own back! This time, I'm determined. I will lose and keep it off! Let's hope. Hhehe.. I did burn 300 calories. I did 40 mins of hard work on the treadmill to lose that- but if you really think about it, i only burnt off like 2 cups of the sherbert ice cream i ate.

I believe that one of these days, my body will glow and everyone, including zebra-mouse, will look at me and say, "Damn she looks fine". .....and KABUM...i wake up from my dream to the same old shit.

A New Day

I woke up very late today. I had dreams beyond dreams. Emmy was sleeptalking like crazy last night. I'm done w/ this job search. I'm open to other fields of interest now. Wish me luck. I need to remember to put my trust in God. He has a path for me...it's just not the time yet.

With Chelle

Today I was Chelle's Husband for the day. Went from BP, to MG, from MG back to BP, BP to Chelle's palace and back to BP. Thanks Chelle for treating me to lunch and dinner! We'll have to do more late dinners once your palace is done.

While I was out and about w/ Chelle, Husband and My Emmy were out fishing. She caught her 1st fish today. Guess where she hooked it? In the eye. LOL. I wished I was there to see her catch her first fish. Chelle's right, I need to get my cam out and record her more often. I missing out on all the good stuff.

Anyway- we did some late shopping at Walmart b/c i was craving Sherbert Ice Cream. The best ever! I love it. Btw, Bobby's tackle box is starting to look like my make-up box. Hehehe.

Lonely

I'm feeling off-le down. I have no life, no job, no money, no nothing. I need to remember God most in these circumstances. *Sighs*

Relaxed

I took a nap today before we went out to Susan/Beck's place. Had potluck. Bob and I brought ribs- didn't turn out as good as usual. I just grubbed on the papaya salad. Sippin on wine really relaxed me.

Bob and I had an acutal serious talk about what to do in our next chapter of life. We decided that it's about time to move out. Buying a home is out of our budget so I think we'll have to settle for an apartment for now. Once I get a job, we're out and that's the end of it. Till then, Bob and I will try and save a bit to buy a house.

Emmy is talking more than ever. I love her. I have a short ass temper and I hit her sometimes. I feel so bad-She's a bad girl though. When I ask her polietly to do something or stop doing something bad, she tests me to the point where I start yelling at her and have to disapline her. Regardless, I love her so much. She really is what she says she is...my best friend.

Mom's home!

She's been out in Fresno for a whole week. I missed her cooking for me. Heheh.. I know, I'm such a spoiled and bad nyab. But since she's been out, I been had to get my ass up early as heck to put the kids on the bus and cook for bob and my fil. Enough for the year yo. Hehe..

So 2night, Bob and I are camping in the backyard. K-I'm out. Muah!

Thank God it's Friday

All week, I had to put the kiddies on the bus. I hate having to get up. It's probably my biggest pet peeve. But anyway, I'm a fatass and I need to lose weight. When I have money, bob and i are hitting up the gym. Oh so get this. You know those stupid Scwanhs trucks that come around w/ food. We'll bobby bought 3 things from them and it came up to $30. He always wastes a lot of money on stupid stuff. Urg..

OMG, I'm so F'ing tired

But I have a date with my Niam Yo, Chele tonight. I must make it up to her since I spent all weekend with Ida, my Niam Hlab!

I need Chee to massage me

Chia's mad at me. I said a few things to her and now she probably wants to kill me. Maybe my mouth is too big.

Bob and I are heading back to Two Rivers October 9th b/c he wants to salmon fish. I'm excited b/c I'm hoping us sisters can hit up Chicago that weekend. Dee, tell me what you think.

I need some more time away from all these crazy kids..

So I'm stuck sitting the kids for the rest of the week until mom comes home. Boy- do they give me a headache. It's nice and quite when it's just the 2 little ones but as soon as Cela got home, my head started spinning b/c the two girls were fighting constantly. I swear, my ears were ready to bleed. I want to get away for at least 1 week w/out the screams, crys, etc...

Neway, heres a photo of Bob and I at Dara's Wedding. Enjoy.

California

Sacramento & San Francisco was awesome. I had a great time with my dad's side of the family. Seeing Niam Hlob without Hlob was hard. The last time I visited, he was there and the home felt warm and complete. It's just sad b/c Niam Hlob & Grandma are both sick and they take care of each other. Grandma looks great for her age. Toyer says that she's like 98 years old. Dara's wedding was beautiful and she was definately GLOWING. I didn't get to spend much time with her and Misee but I'm just glad I made it. I got to see Nou May, Pang, and Yer as well. It was good to see everyone.
San Fransicso was beautiful. The driving was not as bad as my mom made it seem...or maybe we just lucked out b/c it was labor day weekend. We went through the Golden Gate Bridge, hit up China town (btw, it was huge), took a bus down to Japan town, and then hit up Pier 39. We made a stop back at the bridge and spent some time walking on there and just glazzing at the city lights by the Bay Bridge.
Though the vaca was short, it was defintely worth the money and my time.

State Fair, Day 3

Yes I know, I'm a state fair Freakazoid...but the food there keeps calling me back. LOL> no actually we went today b/c Bobby and Emmy haven't gone yet. We had so much fun together. No stress, no arguements, no na-da. Just a simple fun day. We played games, went to the barn yard, and snacked on food.

Camping in the backyard tonight

So bob's got the tent up and we're gonna sleep in there tonight. I'm excited. Heheh...Here's a photo of us girls at State Fair, Day 2. I know..you're thinking again? Yes, you're right. We're hitting up the state fair one more time..but this time it's with my girl and Bob. It's so much fun and the fricken cheese curds are the bomb diggity.

In too deep

I think I love too easily, care too much, and touch too deeply. People come and people go...and when they go, a part of me goes with them making me feel incomplete. As one goes, the world continues to go round. No one's waiting, no one cares, no one knows. If you pause, you get left behind.....so with this said, I take a deep breath in and let it out and I go on with life. I will miss you Aki!

Headache?

When the fuck will I have my own place? Soon, you'll find me flipping burggers at Mcdonalds-

Lazy Ass

That's what I am today. Have yet to shower...have yet to pack for Dara's wedding. I just want to sleep all day..and of course watch "More to Love"

Nope not pregnant

So I got some $1 Pregnancy tests and it turned out negative. I must be under the weather. I need Chee Lee cus she can massage like WHOA. She hits all the spots. Anyway- I tried messing w/ my hair tonight. I don't know what to do w/ it at Dara's wedding...and I suck w/ hair. Probably just some curls and tied back.

Gotta get up at 7:45 am tommorrow to get the Corolla's oil changed. I hate early mornings- however when i'm up and the roads are peaceful, I feel like I can find inner peace. LOL...Goodnight!

Pregnant?

So I got my period last week and it made me pretty confident that I'm not pregnant but last night I was feeling nausea for no particular reason. Funny thing is every little thing is making me a bit dizzy and nausea....soo I think I'm hitting the dollar store today. $1 Pregnancy tests are the bomb! Chelle knows best.

Btw- This is what i'm wearing to Dara's wedding. I know...not the best but I can't help it when I'm a fatass of a muther fatass! OH and open it bigger chelle, LIke my lipstick. I'm gradually staying away from bronze and the nude colors. Hehe..LIKE IT? LOVE IT..

Kelly Clarkson's concert got CANCELLED

I'm now home w/ a headache. It was a bit cool today and I think that's the main reason I'm not feeling too good. On the other side, I had a great time at State Fair with Becky, Nai, Linda, and Liseng. We were suppose to hit up Kelly Clarkson's concert but it got cancelled...Erik Hutinson who was suppose to only do the introduction singed all his songs from his album. Did a great job and now many Minnesotans know who he is. Heheh...So tonight we got Elephant Ear, Cheese Curds, Fries, Cheese on a stick, & Funnel Cake. Yummy!! The cheese curds were the best!

So get this, I come home to my hubby doing the dishes. I find it cute as ever but also disappointed b/c it seems as though no one else knows how to clean up in this house. Urg...On the bright side, my room is cozy and I'm ready for bed. Goodnight my sistas!

MN State Fair 2009

So Susan, Nai, Becky, and I went to the State Fair tonight and it was actually a lot of fun. Broke as a joke, Nai covered me on everything. Thank you Nai, I love you! I got to taste a strawberry whip funnel cake, cheese curds, snickers on a stick, deep fried oreos, fries, and an icee. Loved them all but I do have to say the cheese curds were the best. However, all this greesy ass food is making me very gassy.

On the other note, Emmy is the cutiest thing ever. She's in the process of potty training & is doing a very good job. She spent the afternoon w/ Grandma at Isabelle's house. Tommorrow we're doing Neeg for Bobby's Grandpa.

Upstairs, Christian is crying loud as ever yo. That kid needs some real disapline. Spoiled as ever. Neway- I'm exited for my San Fran trip. Even though it's short as ever, I want to make it the best. Bob and I haven't had time together for a long time. Ever since my Emmy, we haven't had alone time so this should be good. Alright- good night Chelle, Butter, & Ida. Muah!

Stupid Shaving Can

So after months of not shaving, I decided that it was time to do so. For the past years I've been using my Intimate Shaver. I love that shaver b/c I don't need no stupid shaving cream. Since I've been broke, I bought some shavers w/ Skinmate shaving cream to use. With 3 people sharing a shower, I had no where to put my stupid shaving can so i stuffed it where I could. As I was shaving, it fell down and hit the living crap out of my left feet. It friggin hurts like crazy and now I have a big as bump on my feet. It fucking hurts like crazy and I soooo wanna kill that shaving can.

Endless Days

So the past few months have seem endless. I have yet to find a job in my area of interest and it's starting to become a pain in the ass. Bob & I planned on moving out by this fall but by the look of it, it won't be happening. And this my friends, drives me up the wall. I can't stay here any longer. I want to enjoy the leisure of my own home........peace, comfort, space, privacy, and the joy of geting up at NOON and no one nagging. When will my endless days come to an end?
