It’s starting…

I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment with my ophthalmologist next month to follow up on my dry eyes. God, I can hardly WAIT to get back into contact lenses (although I do LOVE my kick ass geeky New Balance transition lenses glasses)! I was going to take the afternoon of June 1 off to take Brandon in for the vasectomy appointment anyway, so I changed my appointment to earlier in the afternoon so I can just take one day off. When I told Nhien about the appointment, this is the conversation that followed: Nhien: So you’re going to...

Saving the world

Don’t get us wrong. We like kids. As long as they go home to their parents at the end of the day. Brandon is turning 34 this year and he still can’t stand baby cries.

Jukebox Kamekaze

We had quite an interesting Saturday night, so today Brandon and I spent doing and NOT doing things around the house. We had a nice afternoon nap and went for a walk and bunny chase down at Long Beach City College. (The college is full of “wild” bunnies.) Then, Brandon and I attacked boxes in the garage. We wouldn’t have done it if Brandon didn’t need to find his DragonQuest guide. Heh. The result, nonetheless, was very good. We cleared out a few more boxes and finally brought all the kitchen widgets and gadgets upstairs. Hooray for the return of...
