This Halloween we tried to do a bunch since Lorelai semi-understands part of some things sometimes once in a while.  We left work a little early to rush back and pick Lorelai up.  We met up with Lorelai’s cousins Aidan and Tammy and took some snapshots (more updates later, maybe?)  We then drove back to [...]

Friday afternoon I took Lorelai to see the doctor again for her check-up.  She’s 25lb and 33″, kinda “too healthy” as the doctor put it…  By now she already knows that this office is not a fun place to be, and started to get upset once we entered the exam room.

On Friday I took a day off for my much-too-long-awaited citizenship interview.  It’s about time since I’ve been in this country for 15 years.  A quick recap of what happened:

My appointment was at 8:05am in San Bernardino, CA, a 45 minutes drive from home.  I woke up early fearing traffic and got there at 7:30am.  [...]

Some rich dude tells lots other not-so-rich dudes that they can make lots money if they give him all their money to invest.  The rich dude then spent all the money and now has no way [...]

Well, I said earlier we were dealing with wild animal problems, so here it is.  A while back (maybe 1 or 2 week ago) Jeannie got rid of some overgrown bushes and saw something ran out from under it right as she was doing it.  A couple days later we started to notice a lot [...]

Well since my mini vacation is almost over (or is over depending on how you look at it), we decided to brave the hot SoCal weather yet again, this time to battle Huntington Library.  $20 per adult!  Geez… that’s almost at ripoff territory, but since we already spent the gas driving there, we decided to [...]
