Cookies

Picture of me a few months ago

As a bear

Which Chloe took for me

Made me think

I need to be a mother

Who is not goofy all the time

But a little bit more serious

So I went to get a new pair of glasses

From our lovely friend Amy who opened her new practice

I almost never wear glasses

But keep a pair with me just in case

Our children believe

All the kids with glasses at school

Are smart kids

Now you know where I am going with this

Yes

I can look smart

With glasses on

Without stressing myself out to be serious :)

At least in my children's eyes :)

Now their mommy looks smart

And serious ;)

With new glasses on

I finally got my small white Christmas tree this week

But I went to a lot of thrift stores

Before I found one at Wal Mart for $35

I know myself

I might not see the small white Christmas tree after this Christmas

Until many years later

When I decide that will be the tree again

So I went to a lot of thrift stores

To save some money

Not knowing a small white Christmas tree was waiting for me

At Wal Mart

For $35

But in the meanwhile
I bought stuff
...Many stuff

Here are some of the stuff now in my possession :)
Old silver cake tray...$3.99
Glass Cover...$1.99


I even baked cookies Wednesday night
To keep some in there
Just like those all American families in magazines

...But I am a good cook
...And have problem of
...Stopping myself from eating too much sweets
...So by Thursday morning
...they were
...all gone

...I really need to grow up

Happy Friday!!
And stay warm :)

Happy Birthday

Today is my lovely husband's birthday

My favorite Japanese book said

Birthday is special

Because it is the day your special someone was born

So it is the day to thank

"Thank you for being a part of my life"

Because without the day of him being born

My life would have been less special

So this day is very special for me

....Not because we get to eat out :)

....Or we get to eat a cake without feeling guilty :)

But gives me a chance

To stop

And appreciate

My life

Happy Birthday!!

Taxidermy

I found lovely taxidermy on Etsy
I've always had fear of taxidermy
Because we had one at home
When I was little
It was displayed at our foyer
And it really scared me
Every time I opened the door
But some people are just so creative
Even I who is scared of taxidermy
Think
They are so lovely :)

Turkey and Christmas Decorations

We will be eating turkey all week

Because my lovely husband wants to practice every year

If I let it happen

He will practice every day

And he will sneak out to buy more turkey at night

I think

He might be going through mid life crisis

....Since his mid twenties :)

In the meanwhile I am testing out Christmas decorations

To see what should be out this year

I am leaning toward

White, silver and green

And different shapes of Christmas lights

Can't wait to see your Christmas decorations...

Keep warm!!

And wish you a nice holiday tomorrow :)

Looking For A Small Christmas Tree

I was looking for a small white Christmas tree during the weekend

I don't feel like having a big green Christmas tree this year

I want something simple

So I went to many stores to look for a small tree

And ended up buying a lot of things

....but a Christmas tree :(

But I am deciding on what to give for our girls for Christmas
I am making a matching aprons for them and for their dolls
So that they can start learning how to cook
So someday we can all be in a same kitchen
Cooking together

I can just picture
Me as a boss of the kitchen
And them three as disgruntle workers :)
And I will make blankets for their dolls, too

Because I've been questioning
About the amount of toys they have

My lovely husband thinks there is nothing wrong
With three gigantic mountains of gifts on Christmas day
And when I say gigantic
They are GIGANTIC

But I am the one who takes them to donate a few months later
And it makes me feel like
I'm failing
...In teaching them something very important in life

Well
I need to go
Because Lauren is playing in the bathroom
And I have bad feeling about
What she is playing with

Happy Monday!!
And stay warm :)
