"Murphy's" Week

Well, M has cancer again & we are waiting for biopsy results.

Ang fell down the stairs & has a huge bruise on her butt.

It was so windy the other day the train line I needed to go to work was out of order. I barely made it there & back using other forms of transport & waited in line the cold for hours to get on a bus.

It's been really cold, me & Ang have colds. Ang can't taste her food.

Ang is going home 2 weeks ahead of plan to help mom so this is our last week with her & Mac is gone the whole time so we can't do nuthin special.

I was cooking & all my ramen bowls fell off the shelf & broke on my hand & cut my finger super bad, I can't even wash dishes.

Ang will be missing her fave band's concert by 5 days because she's going home early.

So I was all trying to be nice to Ang while she was out by cleaning her foom & taking her landry downstairs to wash it & I all fell down the stairs too. I guess something is wrong with the stairs & they are too slippery.


Murphy is Gay.

Happy Val. Poem dedicated to all you romantic souls. (You know who you are)

When We Two Parted --by Lord Byron

When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted,
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
Sank chill on my brow—
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame:
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me—
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well:—
Long, long shall I rue thee
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met—
In silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?—
With silence and tears.

Kiki's Birthday

Saturday:
I promised Kiki I'd take her to pierce her ears at a clinic for her birthday. Leila wanted to pierce her ears too so we went & got it done. Kiki was first & didn't make a peep so Leila figured it didn't hurt at all but then when it was her turn, she cried a bit & said "actually, it does hurt a little bit". But now they are happy & pretty & it's done with.
Sunday:
Like Christmas, we opened presents as soon as we woke up & ate breakfast. Kiki got her much wished for present, a light blue DS lite, & that kept them busy all day. Angie & I made cakes & cookies for her party on Monday. Daddy took the girls to an Indian Curry restaurant for Kiki's birthday lunch.
Monday:
Some of Kiki's friends came over for cake & gave her some cute little presents. They did some games & dancing. We learned from Carole's party to not make it too long or we end up not knowing what to do with all those wild kids

Winter Vacation

We had a slow vacation due to sickness & a new baby. Angie arrived to visit us & we got her sick too. But at home we enjoyed watching movies & the home videos we took of the kids when they were little.

The kids went ice-skating with daddy & we went with daddys family to the "all you can eat" restaurant. We also went to sled park.

Show Pics

The kids had a show with daddy last night. Kiki had a high fever so she couldn't go. Carole sang so well, and Leila did some cool "moves" on the side.

We named the baby
