We're all adults here...
Continue readingI've been feeling under the weather the past few days — hence the lack of quality posts. I have read often that one of the biggest downsides of being a SAHM is that you do not get sick days. However, in my case, I have been very fortunate to have family who are giving me a hand. Yesterday, my little sister Suzy (well, she's not so little — she's 28 years old!) came over and cooked not one, not two, but THREE delicious dishes and stocked our fridge to the brim. And I must admit that Claire is really starting to warm up to her eemo ("aunt" in Korean). Even just a couple of weeks ago she would cry whenever Suzy...

I always have a gazillion projects en queue in my head, am usually in the middle of several at once in real life. A couple of weeks ago, when J mentioned that he was thinking about blogging again (he was quite an avid blogger when we first became friends), I enthusiastically endorsed the idea and even thought of a great domain name for him. What he didn't know was that I had a mini-project brewing in my head since that night — — a brand new spankin' blog, tailored just for him!
