Things I love:
- being able to wash large loads of laundry at one time
- seeing the perennials that we planted last year blooming this year
- the libraries!!
- easy access to medical care (I mean the parking)
- being able to continue the purging process
- instant Play on Netflix
Things I hate, or okay, strongly dislike :
- [...]
And a lawyer to boot. You won’t usually see “Filipino”, “lawyer”, “writer”, and “understands Catholic teaching” all in the same sentence. Add to that he’s got an understanding of how contraceptives REALLY work. But hey, there’s always got to be a first time for everything, right?
Contraception and Abortion
A small excerpt, but you do [...]
Only Pinoys would get THIS passionate about food. Yup, believe it or not — this song is about a guy walking into a restaurant and not getting any of the things he wants from the menu. It’s the nearest thing to “hard rock” you’ll ever see on this blog. And talk about uninhibited. [...]
My hubby does the taxes in our household — bless his heart — since our move to Ohio our taxes have been less complicated and we haven’t needed H&R Block like we did in the past, but still, I wouldn’t want to do it myself. Fortunately, I’m one of those people who really doesn’t have [...]
Mama asks what we want for lunch. (Mama is visiting from St. Louis and helping out in the cooking department because I still can’t cook much.) She asks Tops (my brother who’s also visiting from Philly for the weekend). Tops wants corned beef.
We look for the tomato. Mama is convinced we had [...]
That’s what I’m eating right now. I thought I had turned the corner over the weekend but yesterday I was back to feeling sick all afternoon and evening, and again today. Blech. I have no idea what I’m having 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours from now… [...]
Last year, the family enjoyed a French movie called Le Papillon. There are a few adult-themed moments in the movie; we either pre-screen and then ff when watching with the kids, or talk over the dialogue. But the child and her developing relationship with the grumpy grandfather figure was just enchanting to watch. [...]
For freshly-done laundry.
For moments of reprieve from all-day-sickness
For Panera. And Chipotle.
For congee.
For a hubby who after 18 years will still do anything for me. And more.
For conscientious children who help out when they see the need.
For children who fight, but forget all about it the next day.
For an 11-yo who makes Jell-O for his [...]
Some notes on the movie:
First of all, WE LOVED IT!!!!! Even though there are many things to quibble about, just evaluating THE MOVIE ITSELF, we would have to say it is a definite keeper. This one will go on our (very picky) shelves. The cinematography, the costumes, the sceneries, the acting (for the [...]
In bed this morning, still sleepy.
Yena: Mom, how long can nuns speak?
Mom: Depends on the order. Some nuns don’t speak a lot because they’ve taken a vow of silence, some can speak as long as they want.
Yena: Nuns can’t speak, but they can breathe, right Mom?
Mom: Yes.
Yena: I want to be [...]
I think I should follow my dd’s example and have a new category: Brain Dump, and password-protect everything, just so I’m not inflicting my no-direction posts on readers…. I often wonder why people come here since the comments box is usually empty. Not that I mind really, when I was blogging mostly food I [...]
This week has been spent in my 9-yo’s room — decluttering, reorganizing, etc.
Here’s Spidey, back in his domain, celebrating with a dance on Migi’s finally-clean bedroom carpet.
Heee… mom’s giddy-crazy that one more room is DONE!!! So I’m allowed to have a little fun with Spidey, don’t [...]
I don’t know what these are (yet) or I’ve forgotten; they’re right in the front yard welcoming guests [...]
