Took J and O to the Church for the Halloween party there, Oct 31st. It was fun but Jett was so upset that he didn't get to go "real" trick or treating! He was a skunk. Mom made the costume and it was GREAT! He looked SO cute! He won the costume contest for his age. Oakley was a soccer player at school and a bug catcher at the church. He was also very cute but not as "into" his costumes as J.
CN and I went to Jay and Sans for their Halloween party (Sat. Nov. 3rd). We left the boys at my dad's (AGH! and she was there! I really shouldn't "settle" for him to babysit when she is around! Still a sore subject!) anyway, we dressed up as the "dead bride and groom" I wore my wedding dress! and he wore an old Jacket of DB's! He wasn't too happy about that! We painted our faces white and black circles under our eyes. Looked pretty good but probably jinxed us with the "dead" married couple! We didn't have too much to drink but had a pretty enjoyable time.
hello
i feel so stupid and you know why it's because my son has a girl friend and that even sounds stupid. but realy it's becuase he is growuing up fast and i feel like he's slipping away from me almost like my job is almost done and it's time to let go but i dont want to becuase he's still my baby to me always will be he's only 14 and i think he's far too young to have a girlfriend theres plenty time for that when he's older but as always whatever we say they just try harder to do the opposite i'm sure i am not the only parent to feel like this but it's hard when you only have one kid because they become the center of your world .i know i have to let him have his own life but he's just too young for all this stuff yet .and i want him to my self a while longer .
朋友圈
敦敦每天放学会跟他的'国际联队'朋友们踢一个小时的足球,这些十岁小男孩们来自世界各个角落,意大利,澳大利亚,英国,苏联和日本,有着不同的肤色,抄着不同腔调的英语。看着他们一起玩,很有趣。我惊喜地发现,在他们这个圈子里混的规矩很值得大人们借鉴,首先是要大度,懂得接受别人的背景,不管你来自那个国度,不管你英文讲得怎样,不管你球踢得如何,他们在乎的是你想不想跟我玩这个动机,这种动机会从他们眼神交流和肢体语言中你会看到。主动走近对方,对视一分钟,搞定。一旦进入朋友圈,这些远离老家的伙伴,正患严重'朋友饥渴症'的小男子汉们大有相见恨晚的感觉,孩子们之间的信任和默契一两天就能建立。玩的过程中,每个人都有发言权,可行的建议很快会得到伙伴们的认可,玩什么,怎么玩,一个决定一般在三秒钟通过,大家不会在鸡毛蒜皮的细节上扯皮,他们很尊重每天上帝给的这60分钟宝贵光阴,在他们看来,朋友的存在就是上天的恩赐,跟伙伴们共享的时间就是快乐。一旦承诺约会的时间地点,就要守约。不高兴的事情不多,一旦发生,只要不是大错,都能原谅,在第二天见面前保证忘掉不愉快。他们这些难得的素质都围绕着'玩'这个至高无上的目的。你要玩就不能对别人太挑剔,不守约,不原谅别人明天就没人跟你玩了。孩子们在游戏中学习交友的规则和做人的原则。实际上,大人们之间的交往也奉行同样的游戏规则,只不过大人们喜欢端着,在每个项目上都花太多的时间,也都做得不太好。
god is up to his work again! i am sooo happy that i have let god take control of my life now and i dont have to stress about everything in my life, life is too short to worry about things that are not in your control. sometimes you need to just let things happen how they are ment to happen and just trust that things will turn out ok. i have learned alot about myself in the past year and i am happy to say that i think that i have grown alot, some people amy say that they really dont think that i changed all that much to them but i can see it in myself and if others cant see it then that is on them, i haev learned that you can tworry about what others think of you and what others precieve you as because the only thing that matters is that you see yourself as a good person and you love youself as you are. im am becoming a much happier person and i am looking forward to everythiugn that is going to come in my life in the next couple of years or months or just even days!
well we will see what happens! till next time!
初品杭帮菜
到了杭州,一定要品尝地道的'杭帮菜',老朋友带我们去了一家叫'卜家野鱼馆'的地方菜馆,馆面不大,但生意很红火, 各种鱼都拥有非同一般的名字,我们相中了 '白昭君',鱼的烧法也另有一套,第二天又经不住这'野性'的诱惑进了卜家的另一间分店,这回叫了清蒸钩鱼,味道鲜嫩,价钱不贵。西湖醋鱼不能不尝,暗红的浇头的酸甜配比恰到好处,一大条鱼几分钟内下肚也不觉得腻。'片川'是那种吃一次就忘不了的小吃,吃第一口后,你就会对眼前这碗白绿相间的菜肉汤肃然起敬,自动端正态度,认真地,一口一口地品尝。我叫了一碗片川,没想到我家的两个男人,见异思迁地抛弃自己叫的小吃,抢着跟我分享这碗'片川'。真就像相'对象'一样,有的人运气好,相对了,有的人开始觉得自己的选择不错,但跟别人一比,就觉得自己的'对相'没味道,死活想把别人的'对象'搞到手。
女人的生活也就像一道菜,必须同时具有色香味。光好看不行,光空有其名也不行,要自己活得有品位,有味道才算真正活得精彩。
若把成都的川菜比做泼辣的麻辣大婶子,不敢正面看她,但走后老想回头,杭帮菜算是个乖巧的酸甜小媳妇,看一眼不够,临走还想再拉拉她的小手。
