My Life Happenings

The Neighbors’ Cats

07/29/2003

The girl that I nanny for has a neighbor with three cats. The funny thing is that I’ve never seen them over at the neighbors’ house. They’re always laying on the step to greet me when I come in, laying behind the house when we go out to jump rope, and laying everywhere…just not at Read More

Meat-izza is Gross

07/28/2003

Well, I know all of you were drooling and waiting to see if my meat-izza recipe was as delicious as it sounded. Unfortunately, it was gross. I couldn’t finish mine because it tasted strongly of gross stuff. I think it was the 1/2 cup of chicken boullion that did it in. I’ve never heard of Read More

Life in the Closet

07/27/2003

Well, I worked really hard on Friday to clean our house and do laundry. I mopped the floors, cleaned the windows, scrubbed sinks…I even washed the handwash only clothes. I thought, “Now I can have a relaxing weekend doing whatever I want.” Because there was nothing (technically) left to do. Then, a horrible thing happened. Read More

Feelin’ Low

07/24/2003

I don’t know what it is…maybe it’s just living day to day and the monotony of it all…but I just get down sometimes. Today I’ve just been emotionally on edge. There’s no reason I can think of for it. I have a happy life, happy home, good job, great husband, wonderful family, super pets, and Read More

Bat Boy Learns the Cello!

07/23/2003

Josh took me to see the musical Bat Boy yesterday at Lucie Stern Theater in Palo Alto. I laughed my head off. Part of it was sheer delight for actually seeing some theater again (the last show I saw was in February). The characters were spectacularly played, especially the lead of Bat Boy, the mother, Read More

I am Saddened by America Today

07/21/2003

Today, I looked at my favorite website (as I do every day). There, I saw something that was too horrific to behold. In the movie boxoffice, Pirates of the Caribbean moved down to number two and Bad Boys II moved up to number one. I feel saddened to live in a society where something like Read More

Stupid Code – A Call for Help

07/17/2003

HELP! Okay, I realize that my blog has issues with overlapping my web banner on some browsers. My problem is this — I have no idea how to fix it. I’ve been able to shift the contents up and down on the page…but that just messes with it when you adjust the window. So, post Read More

Patronizing the Liberal Front

07/15/2003

There are three movies that I want to see right now. Unfortunately, none of them are in regular movie theaters. No, the ones I want to see are foreign films & documentaries that are featured at The Towne, a small “artsy” theater in San Jose. Problems is, as Josh put it, the lobby is filled Read More

My First Blog

07/14/2003

Well…I can’t believe that my life has come to this. Here I am on the web. I have my own website. I made it using HTML, for goodness sake! And now I have reduced myself to having a blog. What have I become? I guess I never saw myself as being a l33t computer user. Read More
