I Spy ...

2010-04-06T01:11:00.008-04:00

A little French Bulldog at the hipster garage turned coffee shop near work. You can't really see his face, but so stinking cute! So I snuck a photo. @Ting Not quite a Boston Terrier but close :)

I Lost My Phone .... Maybe :(

2010-03-30T01:18:00.003-04:00

So I am some how getting dumber by the day. Following incident #1 on the BART last week, I actually got on the wrong train and didn't realize till Coliseum ... nice. Today, I proceed to leave my phone at work and not realize till I reached Civic Center Bart. Ran back to the office and find that everyone's gone. Pound on the door, no response. Wait, pound, wait, helpless!So now my poor iPhone is

Happy Belated 4th Anniversary!

2010-02-01T00:49:00.005-05:00

I have vague recollections visiting Yosemite as a wee 6 year old kiddo. I remember squeezing into the backseat with the brother & grand parents and picnicking in a meadow with a view of the half dome. Not sure how accurate these memories are however hahaAnyway this means it was time to make a trip back! Here's P & I taking a ride in a Ford Model T. Apparently the car du jour of the time(damn

Paris Paris

2010-02-01T00:22:00.005-05:00

Somehow I've gotten really bad at this blogging thing after a 1 year hiatus. I don't know what to write anymore. Am semi excited today though since we just bought tickets to Paris for Valentines day! I mean Chinese New Year :P Will be meeting up with the in-laws for the annual Peck Family European extravaganza lol Since this was kinda last minute, there's gonna be lots of planning to do. Hmm a

FML

2009-12-09T00:54:00.003-05:00

I've recently been obsessed with FML. I like it so much, I downloaded the iphone app so I can take it with me on the go. Today I was triple excited when I discovered the Sl0an FML site. I even decided to dedicate a blog entry to it .... FMLOh and here's a really good one!"Today, I woke up and looked in the mirror and noticed that my face was covered in glitter. I asked my wife about it and she

Herro Kitty !

2009-12-06T15:23:00.008-05:00

OMG check out what was parked next to us at Ranch 99 (where else right?!). A Kitty mobile. License plate "Herro Kitty". Kid you not! Secretly I am in love with this car. The hot pink wheels with hello kitty air caps are to die for. Oh and speaking of kitty, I also saw recently that Zales has a collection of Hello Kitty jewelry. Now I'm not a big fan of Zales aka ghetto mall brand. It's not even "

Road Trip to Sacramento

2009-11-28T16:09:00.006-05:00

So my poor blog has been neglected for almost a year =( Must REVIVE since I kinda enjoyed reading about my fun former younger life! Haha anyhoo it's Thanksgiving weekend finally! We headed up to Sacramento since hubs wanted to catch some photos of salmon leaping upstream. Of course when we got there we found that the salmon were already done jumping or whatever :p So what's there to do in the

The Grossest Dog

2008-12-20T18:08:00.002-05:00

I met what could possibly be the most disgusting dog alive today. This german shepard at the park. Every few minutes (I kid u not) it would dunk it's large head in a tub of water then slobber jump or put it's filthy paws on u. Arrghkkkk!!!!

Fog's Better Than Snow?

2008-12-05T22:45:00.000-05:00

Wonderful fog greeting me on my morning commute .... sinister! Well at least there's no ice to slip u up.

I'm so Thrifty!

2008-11-28T23:06:00.006-05:00

My old stupid Prada wallet broke recently so I've been hunting for a new one. Was doing some black (or will it be red) friday online shopping and scored this awesome deal at Saks. I am soooo proud of myself for saving money in this economy. First there's a sale so there's up to 40% off. Then I have a gift card for $25 off $100 from Saks. And the best part, I manage to dig up a code for free

Lunch in the City

2008-10-22T16:49:00.000-04:00

Going to the city is still novel! I am part tourist haha. We're in Union Square for lunch and shopping :)

At the Dog Park

Not sure if Moxie is used to sand instead of grass?

Bye Bye Boston

2008-10-14T16:57:00.001-04:00

I will miss you! Aside from dirty snow, shoveling, and the occasional (rose tinted lenses) bitter cold.

Ready to Fly

2008-10-14T06:35:00.000-04:00

Moxie is in her Furrari and off to california! Hope she doesn't have a phobia of flying.

My Old Photos ....

Panic Attacks

2008-10-02T01:04:00.003-04:00

Every other day or so I get a panic attack. Mostly because I look around our apartment and there is still so much stuff in it! Arghk! Don't think I've announced it officially but you probably know that we're leaving Boston (sniff) for sunnier climates the week after next. This explains the fire sale at our apartment. No, I did not use Lehman stock as collateral for my school loans haha.

I want a new puppy!

2008-09-29T16:47:00.004-04:00

My car had a flat battery but the trip down to the mechanic was all worthwhile because he got a cute puppy! A brown siberian husky that is adorable. I predict his business will get better haha. Max (the puppy was teething) Except it was teething and got its little toothpick teeth all over my hands. Ouch! Max was also squirming around constantly. I've forgotten what it's like to have a puppy.

More Goodbyes

2008-09-22T16:49:00.005-04:00

P said goodbye to his beloved TT of 6 years this weekend. I have no idea why he looks so happy in the photo! :P Maybe he's putting on a brave face. Hurhur.I didn't think we'd find a buyer so soon but I suppose we only have 3 weeks to go. So now that we're sharing a car, I have to drive P to work and home everyday if I want to have access to the car! Arghk...I am so not a morning person. The

Goodbye Desk

2008-09-17T00:49:00.004-04:00

I sold my desk today. I was excited to get $120 for it since I've had it for a while (6 years?)! I like to attribute that to my timeless taste in furniture? :)Everytime someone buys a piece of furniture from us however, I feel a tinge of regret. With this desk, it's because it was particularly hard to find. I was on a black kick a while back and it was quite the task trying to locate black

I Made Dinner!

2008-09-17T00:42:00.001-04:00

Our conversations usually go like this after I am done cooking dinner:Me: Do you want me to pack the left overs for you?P: No it's ok.Me: Fine. I know my cooking is not good :p HrmpBut I have good news. P actually agreed to take my spicy marinara pasta to work yesterday! GASP!Ok but not the fairy tale ending here. He forgot to take the tupperware with him and I ate it for lunch instead. :)

A Little Cutie

2008-09-16T01:03:00.004-04:00

Say hi to our neighbor's dog Lady. Isn't she adorable?

Look Mommy!

2008-09-07T17:00:00.004-04:00

We were walking around the farmers market this afternoon and suddenly I hear this little girl yell really loudly. "Look mommy! Pwincess!"And she was pointing at me!!! Sighzzz I was so flattered * BEAMS * No, much as I would secretly love to, I wasn't wearing a tiara or anything haha. I'm guessing she liked my summery dress. Such good taste this little girl. I is so pleased!

Brunch at Gaslight

2008-09-07T00:58:00.002-04:00

Back in Boston. Late to the game but trying mobile blogging! Beet salad and lotsa coffee before Hanna hit.

First Day in Reykjavik

2008-08-22T18:08:00.006-04:00

We're here! We're here! Got in on the red eye and spent the day roaming around the city center. Ok ok we took a 2 hr nap in the afternoon. Some interesting Iceland facts by moi :)- Are you sure this isn't the Ikea theme park?- Icelanders aren't as tall as I imagined.- Icelanders have are obsessive about Abercrombie and hoodies?! - It's green, humid, and mossy- All tourists are easily identified

Summer Vaca!

2008-08-21T18:26:00.002-04:00

We're going on vacation and so is Moxie! She off to Summer Camp where she gets to hang out with her family. Nicer than it sounds because Moxie and her mom don't get along. Last summer, Moxie got bitten on the paw from a scuffle with mom! GASP Dogs, so much drama.At the breeders, I was excited to see that Moxie has new sisters! Well half siblings. Promiscuous mom heehee. Her sisters are still

Countdown to Iceland

2008-08-20T03:02:00.002-04:00

I hope all my reservations are in order hehe :) Still have to do laundry and pack. One slight problem, I'm not sure how to pack efficiently since we'll be driving round the island and staying at different hotels almost every night. And because it's going to be between 40 and 60F, we'll need to bring thicker clothes and shoes not flip flops haha. Not to mention our laptop and other assorted junk.

Kreach

2008-08-15T16:26:00.008-04:00

The Mox claims anything that's somewhat soft and on the floor as hers. I put our comforter on the floor today when I was taking photos of our bed (for sale). And in a split second she was all curled up on the comforter! I had to wrestle her off. %@*#!!

A Golfin We Go

2008-08-14T00:28:00.005-04:00

Look at me, so pro huh? My first 18 holes! But really, what's the maximum number of strokes one can hit before one should give up? Yes yes, "one" is really me.

My Sad Attention Span

2008-08-05T02:22:00.004-04:00

ADD? I can't sit still and concentrate at the movie theater anymore. I need to ... I don't know ... surf facebook at the same time or read or chat. This struck me as a possibility after I watched The Dark Knight. I know this movie got really high ratings and all but did anyone else find it a bit too long??? I like Batman's cool bike though and his "discrete" lambo heha. Maybe someday I will know

On the Bright Side ...

2008-08-05T02:16:00.005-04:00

Amidst the depressing fall of the USD's value, I read today that the dollar strengthened 26% (ytd) against the Icelandic Krona! Shocking. So why is everything still so expensive? Hurh hurh hurh?

2008-07-29T03:13:00.005-04:00

Check out http://www.polyvore.com. The name of the site is kinda strange but it's really this big scrapbook / social shopping website where you can put together outfits and layouts. Here's the "Day at the Beach" set I made all by myself! :) Too bad we aren't going on a beach vaca ....

It's official !

2008-07-29T03:00:00.005-04:00

We're going to Iceland at the end of August! Booked the tickets :) Figured that we'd never be as close to Iceland as we are now in Boston. Iceland's only a 5 hr flight away though not a cheap one :P Also it's summer now and there's no better time to visit. We considered a bunch of other locations like Nova Scotia (a bit the boring), Carribean (P was kinda fixated with the Cayman islands ... maybe

Olympics!

2008-07-24T12:08:00.006-04:00

I want to go watch the Olympics in Beijing but hubs doesn't. Bleh what a wet blanket. Since I can't be there I have to satisfy my curiosity through other means.The architecture of Beijing's new sports complexes is fascinating! This one takes a bit getting used to but I like the bird's nest national stadium. The lines are supposed to look like cracks on a porcelain vase. The bubble where swimming

I am a bad doggie mom. I forgot Moxie's birthday on July 18. We've been out of town most summers so we haven't been able to celebrate. Ok I geddit, not a good excuse. She's now a 4 year old big corgi. Sorry Moxie :(

We took a road trip wtih Moxie last weekend to Maine. As we were getting Moxie into the car ...Older lady #1: Oh look a puppy!Older lady #2: But it's ... kinda chunky...That said Moxie made lotsa friends on this trip. A poodle named Susie ;), a black German shepard that looks like Pasha, 2 girls on their way to a wedding, and a black lab named Bailey.I no chunky. I big boned! Woof!

Presidential Vacation Spot #1

2008-06-22T23:51:00.005-04:00

We headed out to Martha's Vineyard last weekend. MV is Clinton's summer vacation spot of choice. Strangely, we hadn't visited even though it's only an hour car ride + 1 hr ferry ride from here. I thought MV would be like Nantucket which we visited a couple years back, you know preppy, waspy, rich. I was pleasantly surprised though that MV was more inclusive. So yah, I don't think my attempt to

2008-06-17T01:54:00.004-04:00

A cocker spaniel! Saw it on a ferry this weekend and thought of Mischky :)

All done ... now what?

2008-06-10T00:48:00.003-04:00

Should I do a J.D next? HEEHEEI was bummed that the weather was miserable, rainy, and cold on Friday. We were all sporting the latest in plastic bag fashion. Though it's been soooo hot the past 2 days, I'm not sure which I would have preferred ....More photos to come! This shot was actually taken the day AFTER graduation.

Miit the Famiily

2008-06-01T01:53:00.007-04:00

Wii Fit is the best game investment I've made. I get bored easily so I was really quite surprised that I spend as much time as I do on this. I suppose it's the combination of the enjoyable exercises (my favorite is step!), wanting to beat DH at it, and a naggy Wii Fit Board. It's funny, bordering on irritating when the cartoon version of the Wii Fit Board shames you on your weight gain or tells

Robin's Egg Blue

2008-05-30T00:35:00.005-04:00

I was excited by what my cousin found in her garden! A robin's nest ... wow now it all makes sense. I'd always known the color Robin's Egg Blue but never made the connection. Guess I am still a FOB at heart ... haha! They're so pretty! <3 <3 <3

Happy Birthday !!!

2008-05-14T14:38:00.007-04:00

It was DH's birthday on Monday. We went to some fancy french restaurant (L'espalier). I've decided that the people who go there fit this profile 1) celebrating birthday 2) celebrating anniversary 3) celebrating company expense account! The food was pretty yummy, particularly memorable were the cheese course and this wine that is supposedly only bottled for the restaurant. We were quite fascinated

Gone Sailing

2008-05-13T00:11:00.003-04:00

Now that I am about to graduate, I finally signed up for free sailing lessons at school. DH and I went last weekend. I'm sure you want to know if we capsized? HA...no we didn't! YAY! I cannot emphasize how much I did not want to fall into the cess pool Charles river. Not to mention that it was chilly and the water was freezing. Anyway I think nature and me aren't buddies. The winds were really

Sea Squirt

2008-04-24T15:52:00.004-04:00

We ate this at a Korean restaurant last week. Sashimi style. I remember seeing it recently on Bizarre foods with Andrew Zimmer (Chile) and thinking it was the most disgusting thing ever. Sea squirt is like a gigantic zit that you squeeze and pus squirts out. YUCK.How "lucky" we were to try it! Along with sea cucumber sashimi. Hrmmm Anyway the verdict is sea cucumber is better cooked. And sea

2008-04-17T00:32:00.004-04:00

Shoes Glorious Shoes

2008-04-06T21:03:00.003-04:00

I had so much fun in the Havaiana store that I forgot to take photos. I bought 4 pairs. A brown brazil flag one for the hubs, a bejeweled graphite one, a patterned one, and a wedged one for my cousin. There were so many choices it was hard to choose. Oh did I already mention that the coolest part is you can custom bejewel your flip flops. Classy ? No, but fun? YES! I don't really know why I need

Oi from Rio

2008-03-31T20:47:00.004-04:00

I am back! Brazil was awesome. A last trip before graduation and going back to the real world? Sniff. First stop was the beach. Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon are all along the same stretch. The beach was nice, but I think I like the cape town beach better :P The swimming gear of choice in Brazil is the Speedo! Preferred regardless of body type. Of course no trip to Brazil is complete without a

Tsk Tsk Sarkozy and Random Things

2008-03-17T11:21:00.009-04:00

To make Monday go by faster. Amidst unsettling news in the papers, here's Sarkozy (aka President Bling Bling) and his LV Neverfull! I wish someone would run up to me and hand me a free LV sample. Sigh ...And in other somewhat French related news, I got my long awaited macarons from Tokyo. They were soooo delicious as were the random chocolate cookies that hubs also bought. I am just shocked that

For the Shopping Fiends

2008-03-12T00:59:00.008-04:00

A bunch of the traditional B&M's have been launching new lines recently. Perhap under pressure to increase revenue? Some interesting ones I've read about recently. Martin + Osa: From American Eagle. For the non college crowd.Madewell 1937: From Jcrew. And I <3 Jcrew! Gilly Hicks: Abercrombie's foray into lingerie. The only one I've actually been to is Gilly Hicks. The brand claims to be

I Dream of Sunnier Times

2008-03-09T17:27:00.007-04:00

Weather Today: Grey Clouds, Floods Likely I was just thinking that our big vacation themes lately have been centered around wild animals. I suppose that's because it meets our requirements. Somewhere a little exotic but still luxurious, somewhere where DH can take photos. And some place where I can coo over strange furry animals ... that will probably bite me if given a chance bah.... Next stop

2008-02-14T22:49:00.005-05:00

Actually, I wanted to post this cute zebra photo for V'day. BUT my photo won't resize properly and it looks all bad now! *Growl* I hate flickr. Ever since yahoo bought it over it's gone to the dogs. :(On a less grouchy note I got new UGG boots (chocolate color) from DH for V'day! I know I know, I'm 4 years late to the game and its teeny boppery but but I'm tired of freezing my toes .... :POh and

Off to Safari Land!

2008-01-25T05:46:00.000-05:00

Ahh sipping a carrot orange ginger drink at a Crush Cafe. Last day of work! Woohoo!DH will be here on Saturday! :D ... then we're off to safari land. Have it all planned out. Robben Island on Saturday then Camps Bay. On Sunday we'll head to Table Mountain in the morning then it's off to the Winelands for some wine tasting and gorging on food. Thinking of lunch at Le Petit Ferme and dinner

No Starbucks? That's ok ...

2008-01-23T06:19:00.000-05:00

While Starbucks has already invaded China, it hasn't made it to South Africa. Perhaps because they have way better coffee options? We've spent our mornings so far trying each of the little shops along main street in Green Point. Been to Kauai, a health food type place, Melissa's, News Cafe (free internet!), and Giovanni's Deliworld. But the super best one is Vida e Caffe (south african chain)!!

Do you guys remember this from our history texts? Also home to the Flying Dutchman. We headed down here last weekend and even saw some ostriches and horned animal in the wild albeit from a distance haha.Supposedly the southernmost tip of Africa (or that's what they tell tourists) but not really!

Hello from Cape Town

2008-01-09T07:08:00.000-05:00

I got in on Saturday but internet is hard to come by. There's a monopoly by the broadband companies so it's expensive and not very accessible. We do get it at work but via dialup .... hmmmm. Anyhoo will be uploading photos as we go along!Check out the gorgeous scenary at Camps Bay. Mountains in the back ocean in the front! Wish the hubs was here because I am not a very good photographer and can't

In Transit

2008-01-04T11:02:00.000-05:00

Taking a night flight to London is not a good idea. Got in at 8am which is like 3am Boston time. Didn't get much sleep since I was watching Atonement on the plane (it was good!). Stumbled over to Yotel that z & s told us about. The annoying part though is that it is in Terminal 4 and my connection is in 3. Arghk! Oh well anyway I was grateful to get a bed and shower since I could feel a headache

Happy New Year!

2008-01-01T11:43:00.000-05:00

We invited some friends over and cooked dinner. It's really fun when you have time cuz it took us all day and the day before! Here's Moxie doing her job. We never have to clean the floor while we're cooking because she laps it all up haha. Though she has a knack of getting in your way which is annoying .... ok will add that to her new year's resolution ..."Rrruff what's in the oven, maybe

To the end of finals! I'll be done tomorrow and I might have an interview on Friday. Haven't heard back though, hope it'll be cancelled so I can start my holiday early. Anyway those finance notes aren't making sense anymore and blogging is much more fun when there are boring things to do ...And when I am procrastinating I post photos of moxie! In this photo, taken when I was studying, she is

Tried calling virgin atlantic to see if I could change the dates of my flight reservation. Another MOST annoying customer service call!Me: I want to change my reservationAgent: What? I can't hear you.Me: What is all that noise in the background? (Sounds like 100 indian agents talking at the same time so I know it's not a poor connection on my end) Agent: What? I can't hear you. Me: GRRR * cups

Altercations

2007-11-30T02:34:00.000-05:00

Not sure why but I keep getting into these weird fights at school over space! I'm really a very nice and considerate person, I don't know why this keeps happening to me??Was at the library yesterday in a meeting room. Some Nobo person had reserved the room but never showed, so naturally my team took it over. Anyway team member 1 left for class and I was to be joined by team members 2 and 3.Then

FACEBOOK!!! Ok so I was actually doing serious stuff like homework and writing cover letters but then I got distracted. See hubs and I were talking today about whether print newspaper would go out of style ... and we decided that the answer is no. Because reading serious articles on the web is too distracting!!! There are like a billion other things to do while you're online. Ok so now that my

Ahh my blog has been neglected for too long. I think it's growing mildew and cobwebs kekke. Since my last post, I am back in Beantown. :( Kinda toured asia .... Sichuan, Hong Kong, Beijing, Cambodia. Got a tan and eyelash extensions. The darned extensions are now unruly .... *sniff* And *drumroll* I found this at super88 the other day! It reallly tastes like nai cha!! I <3 it !!!!

Look Alike II

2007-07-12T11:05:00.000-04:00

My mom has been watching this TV drama lately and the aunties say I look like Hester Hsuan. Do I?? But but she's like old and her eyes are bigger!Alright now it's back to doing "home" work. So much for a vacation in Singapore. The only plus unlike consulting is no travel :P SIGH

It's a Hard Knock Life

2007-06-21T10:53:00.000-04:00

We got in Sunday morning and I started work Monday. School is starting to look like a vacation in the bahamas. I had it good. There are no walls on the floor and everyone is right next to each other. It sucks. I want my nice cushy office back!!! But my friend K is right, you get used to shamelessly surfing the web in full view of everyone after a while (1 day for me haha). It's like ... ostrich

1000 Loads of Laundry

2007-06-13T00:40:00.000-04:00

OMG I can't believe it's Wednesday already. Panic setting in. Have to get the apt into a somewhat clean state or it'll be all gross when we get back. There's dishes, laundry, bathroom cleaning, errands, packing, and why did I put off reading that stuff for my summer job??? Where did my 3 weeks of vaca go? Guess I'm paying for those lazy somewhat summer days ....PS: I took the photo with the fancy

Holiday Weekend

2007-05-31T16:57:00.000-04:00

We wanted to go to Nova Scotia for memorial day (I so wanted to go there!) but thanks to last minute planning we ended up in NYC instead. It was aight, we got to see A's baby. Ate at Nobu (which was erh extremely unexciting). Though we had Kee's chocolates which were soo amazing!! (sesame and mango green tea were the winners) Moxie had a good time at the cousin's. The kids even gave her a much

Skool's out 4 Summer!

2007-05-25T13:36:00.001-04:00

You know that feeling you get when exams are over? Somehow all my favorite procrastination activities (tv, blogging) don't seem like that much fun anymore. And I don't want to clean the apt or run errands. All I want to do is snack all day and think of more stuff to buy ...ARGK!Anyway to make somewhat productive use of my time, I will plan some mini vacations from our base in Singapore and I will

OK I might be getting slightly prudish as I get older. But omg wtf are some of the people here wearing?! I know the weather is warming up but please please refrain from exposing more than arms legs and cleavage! But oh well gives me something to gasp at and bitch about. 1)Offender #1: Walking to school this morning I saw this girl in what looked like shorts from the distance. but on closer look

While at singapore day I sent my personal papparazi wtih his big honkin binoculas lens to take a photo of a "famous" Singaporean. See the photos here. They're private photos so log into your flickr account so you can view it! Enjoy and tell me what you think!

SG Day

2007-04-24T22:25:00.000-04:00

We took the bus down to NYC for the first SG day! The lure of authentic hawker food was too much to bear. But now I'm so regretting it because ...1. I was sick before I left, now I am sicker. My sore throat has morphed into a cold.2. I thought the weather would be nice so I went. It was too nice .... 80 degrees.3. Queuing for miniscule portions of food in 80 degree weather sucks.4.

Culture Shock

2007-04-03T10:04:00.000-04:00

China was awesome, I especially enjoyed the noodle breakfast every morning :) foot massages and peach egg tarts from KFC! In any case I'm glad to be home. The toilet situation was rough (a hem ..trough) and the people ... aggressive. They can smell a foreigner from a mile away. But it was fun and I wanna go back! So many sights we haven't seen yet ...Kunming was like any developing city.

Just because ...

The Trip to CA

2007-03-18T23:22:00.000-04:00

So I didn't end up taking photos at the big G. Too embarrassing to whip out a camera in the middle of the tour? Well anyway the campus was aight. It was nice, a typical silicon valley campus, a little like a university campus. The free food was awesome. I spied piles of shrimp and crab claws in the cafeteria! Imagine that?! Too bad they fed us in a smaller conference room instead :P and no

Book Recs Etc.

2007-03-18T23:07:00.000-04:00

I'm heading to China on Friday for spring break but I hate long plane rides. Anyone read some good books lately? I need something in addition to all the darn cases and studying for that finance exam we have when we get back which I know I won't get to. HAHA. I hope china airlines has good movies.Oh and tips for China are welcome too. I'm already bringing lots of tissue paper :)

Choice: Luxury or Curse?

2007-02-15T19:14:00.000-05:00

*whispers* so recently I've been getting several internship offers. This damn mba is finally paying off! I applied for all these different jobs since I was kiasu and afraid I wouldn't get an offer. So now I am left with a variety of choices that all seem quite interesting. Spent the past 2 weeks wrecking my poor little brain over it and narrowed the finalists down to 2 places. The bank in sunny

Battle Scars

2007-02-14T22:56:00.000-05:00

The whole interviewing process is humiliating. Rejection bites. I am sick of putting on my battle gear -> ugly black or gray suit. I am sick of writing thank you notes to people I'm not really thankful for meeting. I'm sick of talking about my great and inspiring leadership experiences. I'm sick of meeting interviewers from that bschool across the river who never forget to remind you about their

Happy Valentine's Day!

2007-02-14T22:49:00.000-05:00

We didn't really celebrate this year. We usually cook a nice meal but we opted for Thai take out today. Though DH bought me a nice romantic tempur-pedic pillow. :) And I "ordered" with DH's credit card the Wii he's been wanting for a awhile. My arm hurts from punching and swinging already. Not sure how I'm going to explain this in school tomorrow!
