Skype with V

Sunday Funday (post hangover)

Fail

I tried to go to Bikram today, but didn't make it. Not for a lack of effort. But due to a hysterical baby. Usually, she's very distracted when her grandparents are here, but I think she has caught on that sometimes Umma will leave for awhile when they arrive early in the morning. Oh well. She has a bit of a runny nose (AGAIN!) so maybe she just feels extra clingy.

I had a great time at BFFF's house yesterday. I actually haven't seen her in a long while. And our kiddies got along so well! Olivia really loves Alex Oppa and thought V Unnie was pretty hilarious.

Everyone needs to go to Cox Farms. It was tres fun.

Too distracted by the tv right now to blog. Costco later.

Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

I can't believe it's already September. Where did August go? Oh, I'll tell you. August was spent on the couch. Or in my bed. Mostly, it was spent horizontally. Or bent over the toilet. August was a definite blur. Hopefully, September will go a lot better.

I am jamming to Jay-Z's Blueprint 3. AH. I LOVEEEEE him. I think I'll be throwing up the ROC sign till I'm old and gray.

Yesterday was MONUMENTAL. Baby V let me hold her. It was voluntary. She was totally talking to me in her o-so-cute baby jibberish. Actually cracking me some smiles and loving me! I hope it's a repeat performance!

And a BIGGGGG CONGRATULATIONS to DHuang for landing a job after graduation! I can't believe you are already graduating this year. I feel like it was just yesterday that I saw you pack up your car and zoom off to St. Louis.... My, how quickly they grow up.

Today's craving: A McDonald's sundae but with strawberry sauce. YUMMMMM!

More Birthday Love

Happy 28th to Pyp!

And had a wonderful time at Baby V's Dol yesterday. You may want to watch the video I made for her birthday, posted on BFFF's facebook page.

Such a lovely birthday weekend <3

I Did It!

Got the hair done yesterday.  I discussed my plans for my perm and we did the hair accordingly.  As in, keeping it long and doing a bunch of highlights underneath to accentuate the future curls.  Good times.  

That wasn't the most exciting part of my day, though.  I parallel parked my car!  YES!  Granted, it took about 15 takes, but still.  I did it.  Oh, I guess I should say that it was our Accord, not the Range.  Whatever.  High 5's all around!

We went to dinner last night and I only had 2 glasses of wine but I was HAMMERED.  This is probably due to the fact that I haven't been drinking that much.  Trying to treat my body as a temple for the future Ho to reside in.  That went out the window last week so I'll just milk it for a little while.

I'd just like to say one thing.  My SIL wants to take me crib shopping.  Like, today.  Is this puzzling to anyone else?  HAHA.  It is endearing though.  I'll hold you up to buying me one when the day comes :)

Enjoy the beautiful weather!  This especially applies to BFFF.  Get that stroller out.  V!!!!!  (Do you know that Jay-Z song where he gives shout-outs and all he says for Beyonce is "B"  and then it echoes?  That's what I'm doing here with the V!!!!!  V now has 2 meanings).

That's it.  Later.

**The Jay song is called "My 1st Song" off the Black Album.**

With the Kiddies

I spent the afternoon today with my favorite boy, BFFF's son, Alex.  I can't believe he is already 5 years old and will be starting first grade in the Fall!  Where does time go?  The weather finally cut us some slack (all these damn April showers better equal some major May flowers) so we got to spend some time outside.

We did a belated Easter egg hunt in the backyard.  Mr. Ho and I filled the eggs with Hershey Kisses, Mini Blow-Pops, and trucks.  Alex did a great job finding all the eggs, with the help of a slightly impatient Mr. Ho :)  Afterwards, we played with chalk, farmer, soccer, house, and on the swings.  When we were playing house, he offered me some Chrome Hearts juice - Alex is so avant garde.  I finally convinced him it was time to go inside and we played on the Wii.  Or should I say, I watched Alex play on the Wii.  He is at such a fun age and will say the darndest things.  Out of the blue, he said to me, "Noona, I had so much fun today.  I missed you."  (Or something like that) and my heart just melted on the spot!  

Miss. V is also getting so big!  Her lashes are to die for, just like her big brother.  And she is so much easier to carry because she can hold herself up easier.  I hope she gets over her separation anxiety soon because I just want to hold her all the time.  Well, until my arm starts shaking from the weight.  

Afterwards, Mr. Ho and I drove around aimlessly for about 30 minutes because he couldn't decide what to eat.  We had to go home before buying anything because Rocky had to poo.  And then finally after entering and leaving Lotte empty-handed, he settled on Paisano's for their thin-crust pizza, philly cheesesteak, and wings (for me).  He told me I could blog about this, so I am.  

Goodnight, friends.  Happy Friday!

V's Day

Sweet Baby V, Happy 100th Day!  

Here's to another 100 years filled with health, prosperity & love, little one.
