Work, Work, Work
Posted on July 21, 2013 by Ching under Life.
Coming in early and staying late is no longer enough. I’m leveling up thanks to my new laptop docking station and hand-me-down monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Thanks for the hand-me-downs, dad and Brian!
You know what this means right? Now I can really work from home. LOL.
I was doing some work in the office this morning — you know, taking the new set up for a spin but besides that I really had some work to do — when I was startled by a peeping tom in the window. What a creeper!

Angry Birds

Ching and I decided to feed the ducks in our pond. While tossing the bread into the water, a red winged black bird was making a ruckus in one of the nearby trees. After a few moments, he buzzed my head. Ching asked, “What was that?!” I told her that the bird buzzed my head.
It would make noise at one tree then buzz my head and move the the other then repeat the cycle. At one point, the bird came so close to my head that I could hear the wings beat and feel the breeze from them flapping. I couldn’t turn my back on him because, every time I did, he would swoop in on me. I think he is mad because his mate kept making a nest under my deck and I kept tearing it down. Now I think whenever I go outside, he will swoop. I think I will need to do something to make him happy. Just don’t know what.

My Life Can Be Exhausting
Posted on June 23, 2013 by Ching under Events, Life.
The weekend is winding down. It has been a productive one. My life can seem exhausting at times, but it’s also a lot of fun.
On Thursday we were at the jazz concert at Bradley Fair. Those of you know know us well know that it’s our favorite thing to do during the month of June.
On Friday night we were at the Alfresco Gala at Botanica. Misty got some tickets from Tammie and she invite me and Brian to join her. Thank you to Misty and Tammie for hooking us up. We had a lot of fun eating, drinking, and listening to Blue Eyed Soul. Brian and I even got to dance a few times.
You can see more pictures from the Alfresco Gala here. For more information about the event, click here. I believe it is an annual event. If you missed it this year, you can go always go next year. It’s a lot of fun.
Speaking of fun, I’d forgotten how much fun the Filipino ball can be. It has been eight years since we last went. I will be posting about it shortly so be sure to check back.
Today we had our personal training appointment at the YMCA. Then we did some yard work. It has been one heck of a weekend. I’m looking forward to relaxing the rest of the evening. How about you? How did your weekend go?

Calzones at the Phelpi
Posted on March 9, 2013 by Ching under Life.
When we watched The Walking Dead at Cory and April’s last weekend, April set up a create-your-own calzone station for us. It was really cool.
There were a variety of fillings to choose from.
Here’s Brian making his calzone.
Here’s Cory making one.
And April. We all just took turns at the calzone creation station basically.
After we made them, the calzones went in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes and they were done. They didn’t need to be in the oven long because all of the fillings were already pre-cooked. This is my finished calzone. I wrote a C so I could identify it when it came out of the oven.
The calzones were yummy. Great idea, Cory and April!
Gavin modeled is plethora of hats for me over dinner.
I didn’t take a picture of him each time he came out with a different hat because he had too many. Apparently, Gavin loves hats. The best part is that he can remember where each hat is from or at least the first time he wore them. What a smart kid!

Brian’s Crowning Moment

Creepiest picture I’ve taken of Brian yet.
Brian getting worked on by two lovely ladies at the dentist.
And then by the handsome dentist.
And the end result…
Ta da!
