I love my friends

I was drunk and I make happy drunk calls. I started singing with Dena and talk to Corey and I tried someone else oh yes!!! My best friend, Jill. I like to harass her and talk about financial news and talk about the science and technology section of the NYT. Phouvy, the other best friend was not answering. California time and she was probably at work or with my cutie pretend niece. I am teaching her to say bad words. HE HE.

Yesterday, our package to pick design for our new home came and I realize wow!!! Carl and I are freaking homeowners. Bloody hell!! It is exciting yet scarry. Next year will be planning for our wedding. Carl and I have to pick a date now. So, I think we probably have a date. December 31st. New Year's Eve!!! I don't think so. They will charge me an arm and leg. I think somewhere in between so my family can fly from Australia and all over the world.

Hey,... you guys should harrass Carl? Why he gets really fluster and have you seen a black man get red and bother?? It is fun.

San Francisco

When I use to work at the library, I never had a chance to attend any conference that was away because I was not a librarian or actually nothing pertains to me. Wait!!! I did get to go to NYC for a photo conference.

Anyway, I found out that my team members and I might be getting together for a meeting in San Francisco. I can't wait. We will be going away the third week of Feb. I was thinking of taking my lover but I don't think he will have fun with us lame ducks. But we get business class flights maybe and probably some fancy hotel. Everything is paid for. We plan to hit the vineyards and other side trips as well. I have never been there and I will take advantage of it. Adrian and I are writing all these places we want to go. Like a Santa list. The fool wants to go to Lake Tahoe. What a nut!!!

I request Chinatown. Typical huh???

Thanks Brennen and Ryan!!

To the fantastic Lukas brothers...

Not only Brennen is a great friend, he got a brother that does mortgage and ease my pain. WOOHOO!! My brain is now more calmer and at ease. Feel my zen, folks!!! You have no clue wat hell I have been through. First, the sales manager is the most pushy lady. She believes she is right and keep pushing this horrible mortgage lady on me. She drove me nuts. I want to scream. She seem to not get it. I like the other lady better. I can't wait till everything is done and we can move in to our home.

The house purchase process

Hello all...

Carl and I have begun our second step as homeowners. We have signed the agreement of sale yesterday. How do we feel??? I feel all these emotions and he is excited. I hope everything will be fine and smooth. I am excited and can't wait to be in our own house. I can't wait to decorate my own kitchen and do not have to fight with neighbors to use the damn washers and dryers. I can relax in my own house and wash whenever I feel like it. Carl can decorate and remodel. That is the exciting but what is not exciting is the mortgage. So much to learn within a few weeks. I hope we will find one.

Planning to get us a housewarming gift... giftcards to home depot, lowes, ikea, target, best buy!! We would love that. HINT HINT

what a weekend!!!

This is our long weekend and we celebrated Martin Luther King's Day.

We began the weekend on Saturday, by taking Dena to the Italian Market to pick up the Turducken and brussel sprouts for the MLK feast day on Sunday. Later that day, we had friends over for football and Xbox games festival. Our friends' Rodrigo and Kim, brought their pup over.

Sunday was the Turducken festival. You might wonder what is a Turducken. It is a Turkey stuff with a duck and stuff with a chicken. Everyone came over for the dinner and it was als potluck night. I made the brussel sprouts. Dena was here early to make the Turducken because she was the host. My goal was not to make anything and I think I achieve some of it. I help her making some of the main course. We have green bean casserole, mash potatoes, brussel sprouts, black forrest cake, bread pudding with whiskey sauce, salad, tofurkey for vegan friends, and cheesy corn. We ate, watch football, play Xbox, and played Cranium. We also managed to keep everyone happy with the computers in the household.

Monday, we went out for a meat festival at Fogo de Chao. OMG!! It was delicious. 11 people join and it was fantastic. After wards, we went to see the new house. Actually, the show home. It was fabulous time and now we can go in a food coma.

Next Saturday, Carl and I will sign the documents for the new home.

We are in a process of trying to buy a house

The process is very scary!

Very scary!

It is making me very sensitive at very different level and I can cry at a drop of anything.

Frustration of calling City of Philadelphia's Departments

I swear that these people do not work or that they need more people. I know it is not even close to tax season, why is it taking them more than 5 minutes to answer the freaking phone. I have been on hold that seem to be forever and it is so frustrating. I am sick of hearing "we re sorry for the delay, you will be connected to the next available agent." AHHHHHH!

No one is answering. I got this notice and I think they are bullshitting me.
