More Adoption Links
This weekend, I’ve been looking at some more adoption links found on a couple of new sites that I started following. The web presence is growing and growing…. The links are also on the right side under ‘Adoptees/Adoption’. The Declassified Adoptee (http://www.declassifiedadoptee.com) Production not Reproduction – Open Adoption Blogs (http://www.productionnotreproduction.com/p/open-adoption-blogs.html) Article on literature of adoption…

A week gone by…
I hardly know where the week went and my grand plans to start writing more regularly on my new schedule have been a bit slow to get habitualized. Strange how having so many long vacations actually causes more stress and chaos than just continuing to work all the time. The constant adjustment of sleep and…

Catching up …
Been going around like a crazy person meeting up with friends and taking care of errands before heading back to work on Sunday. Sadly, I am not at all ready to return to the craze of work since I hardly feel rested. But, it’s been worth it to do a Ladies’ Night out, have tea,…

Goals for 2012
So, I’ve been taking some time to mull over my life now that I have time to think. As always, I’m not a resolution kind of person, but I do like goals. Maybe it’s the same thing with a different name – not sure, but it makes me feel better. Here we go: 1. Finances…

My beans are producing baby beans and also flowering. The herbs are growing like crazy and all the other plants are going strong. My only disappointment are the…

On Being Asian
Just because I am Asian On the outside doesn’t mean I am on the inside. Just because I am Asian On the outside doesn’t mean I want you to be my sugar daddy. Just because I am Asian On the outside doesn’t mean I understand when you practice Ni hao, Konnichiwa or Annyeong haseyo. Just…

Kayaking in the mangroves
Kayaking in the mangroves has been an activity that seemed fun to try and with the cooler weather, it’s a good time of year to do it. Before MJ arrived, Groupons had a deal for a kayaking tour and so R got us coupons for it. The location is not far from our apartment, which…

Christmas post a few days late…
Well, we had a nice Christmas. It was the first time in 20 years or something like that R and his mom were together during the holidays, so I think it was nice for them to be together. Plus, it was the first Christmas for R and I to celebrate in the same house, which…
