Know Anyone With A Private Jet? April 28, 2008
Airfare for our flights to Germany in July is currently at $1,500 per return ticket. That just totally blows!
Our Nest. April 24, 2008
I’ve decided to name the style of our home interior “California-hippy-chic-beach” look.
Not that we are close to being done decorating and furnishing our apartment. But we’re working on it. We most definitely have a vision of what our home should look (and feel) like. And don’t all great things start with a vision? ;-)
Green Card Update. April 21, 2008
Only two weeks after we shipped my Green Card application, I’ve already received my appointment notice to have my fingerprints taken.
And our checks for the application fees have been cashed about a week ago. (Ouch!)
We trust this is all good news and we keep believing that there will be no rocks on the road to obtaining Lawful Permanent Residency before my visa expires August 15th.
Hallelujah!
New York, New York. April 14, 2008
Paul and I will be celebrating our very first wedding anniversary in the Big Apple!
Last Friday, we have booked our flights to New York. Paul’s friend Angela has kindly agreed to take care of Griffin while we will be enjoying our trip. Thank you so much for that, Angela! Besides being all excited about our celebration, we’re thrilled to know that Griffin will be in good hands.
Only 17 more days to go - I cannot wait!
Understanding Women. April 9, 2008
(a man’s perspective)
I know I’m not going to understand women.
I’ll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider.
Griffin’s a star at Yahoo! April 2, 2008
So, the super-cute Griffin has made his mark on the world with a debut on the Yahoo! homepage. He has a scene in a video shot here at Dogster about dissing laptops during meetings.
My Green Card. March 31, 2008
After, what seemed the longest time, we finally shipped my Green Card application (or as per official terms “Lawful Permanent Residency”) last Saturday. What a relief to seal that FedEx envelope!
Without the support of our wonderful friends Li, Dave and Patricia, we’d probably still be trying to figure out that application process including all of its forms and requirements. Thank you guys for everything - you’ve been such a blessing to us!
Now, we’ll have to wait for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to accept and approve our application.
Of course, your prayers for a smooth process and quick approval are very welcome. ;-)
Save Our Boobs! March 28, 2008
Women of all ages and nationalities - this goes out to you! And of course, to all you men who care about us women…and our boobs.
Can you imagine a world without breast cancer? It’s hard, given how pervasive the disease is. But go ahead, let yourself envision that world. Because it’s not a fantasy. It’s a reality within our grasp. Everyone of us can help bringing us closer to ending the disease forever.
The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a 60-mile walk over the course of three days. Net proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure and National Philanthropic Trust, funding important breast cancer research, education, screening, and treatment.
My friend Jill and her team “Save Our Boobs” (S.O.B) haven taken on the challenge to participate and raise money for this cause.
And here’s where you come in:
Team S.O.B. will be guest bar tending at the Fish Bowl in San Francisco on Wednesday, April 30th from 8:00 P.M. – close to raise money for the Susan G. Komen 60-mile Breast Cancer walk. All cash tips will go towards the team members’ fundraising efforts.
You got that? All you have to do is party for one night!! No one’s asking you to actually walk for 3 days. ;-)
So, put on your pink ribbon and your party pants and support our boobs, uhm, troops.
IMPORTANT: Please bring cash as they don’t get to donate tips from credit cards!
If you don’t agree with me that partying for a cure is a brilliant idea, please support Jill’s amazing fundraising efforts by donating on their team’s website http://08.the3day.org/goto/saveourboobs
And remember: every dollar counts!
