Last month, I came across an article titled “Do colleges redline Asian-Americans?” and I still haven’t been able to get it out of my mind. Do colleges really set a higher standard for Asian Americans? If this is true, as the article implies, the same must hold true for places of employment, no? When I […]
When we first got Comang his previous owners handed over all his grooming supplies (including an electric trimmer) and I was sure that we would be able to groom him ourselves. Our first grooming experience was the stuff of legends. Fur flying everywhere. Sneeze attacks from the fine fur that refused to settle to the […]
J has a complex about baby names: if he knows anyone in real life with a certain name (even if he hasn’t talked to that person since the 2nd grade), it’s out. Not surprisingly, this makes naming our children quite difficult as he is one of the most natural connectors I’ve ever known. Luckily we […]
I once dated a guy who informed me on our third date that while he found me very attractive, thought that I was intelligent, funny, and met many of his criteria, he could never see the relationship progressing to a serious level because he could never marry someone like me. “Um…why not?” “Because you’re so […]
A blizzard is sweeping across the area…again. Here’s a view of my street at 7am this morning. We are expecting several more inches. Walking Comang was quite an adventure. I can’t say that he enjoyed the experience, as whenever he took a pause he would inevitably sink into the foot-deep snow and require assistance. […]
Last week I had a short conversation with my father about the world champion figure skater Kim Yu-Na. Geek in Heels: Are you and mom going to watch the ladies’ figure skating segments? Father Geek: Of course! All Koreans will be watching and rooting for Kim Yu-Na. Geek in Heels: Don’t you feel a little […]
…or at least the first hour of February 14. On the night of Friday, February 12, I started having abdominal pains. Not cramps, mind you, but sharp, shooting pains that kept me up through the night. I decided to suck it up and went into work the next day because Saturdays are the busiest days at […]
Yes, I am pregnant again. And yes, I started this blog as soon as I found out last month. Please feel free to browse the archives. In the meantime, I’ve decided to answer any questions you might have… * * * When did you find out? I found out on the morning of J’s birthday, […]
It began with a rocky start (more on that on a later post). But finally being able to see my husband after a week of being apart was simply the best present. I cried like a baby when I came home after work Saturday night and managed to spend the whole day Sunday together. We […]
I know I said I’ll be away for at least a week but… Today I discovered my first gray hair. I know that many people start getting gray/white hair at an early age (including my husband, whose head has been peppered with white hair since his early twenties) but I know that this can only […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
