Impractical PiningPosted by Ami-chan on July 4, 2009
I know that we’re fine with what we have, yet some times I still find myself looking at laptop deals and mentally trying to see how we might be able to afford to get one.
It’s silly of me, but at the same time I can’t help but want something like that because it would [...]
Happy 4thPosted by Ami-chan on July 3, 2009
I realized while I was at work that I’ve missed the anniversary of my first full year as an American citizen. I got my citizenship on April 24th last year. Last year was my first 4th of July as an American, but we really didn’t do very much as my husband was working.
This year [...]
The Way Things Have ChangedPosted by Ami-chan on June 29, 2009
I was putting blue nail polish on my nails the other night and was suddenly struck by the advances that have gone on in my life time. The things that the munchkin will never have to experience and may even think that I’m making up when I tell him how things used to be.
While [...]
They Try Anything…Posted by Ami-chan on
My son is three years old and was trying to be helpful this morning. He was fetching and carrying various items of clothing out of the laundry room with me and then started piling up other clothes in the hopes of us putting those away too, not realizing that those were from the “dirty laundry [...]
Reworking ThingsPosted by Ami-chan on June 24, 2009
I’m striving to re-work my online presence so that things are more streamlined and I an work more easily and without being or feeling so overwhelmed.
I’ve been having quite a few issues lately with motivation. However a lot of that comes from the fact that I’ve been having a depressed episode. I dislike writing [...]
and now for something completely different!Posted by Ami-chan on June 20, 2009
My cat has a problem keeping hold of collars. She’s gone through three in the space of a year, if not more because occasionally we find them again and get them back on her only to have them disappear.
I keep saying I’m not going to replace the collar this time when she loses it, [...]
Would you give up your passwords for a job?Posted by Ami-chan on
A friend alerted me to this story out of Bozeman, Montana: Town Requires Job Seekers to Reveal Social Media Passwords.
As part of the background check process the town officials require their job applicants to list any websites, email and social media sites they are members of, including MySpace and Facebook and give their passwords. [...]
Getting Things FixedPosted by Ami-chan on June 18, 2009
Today the builder came and fixed up the air conditioning cabinet so that it’s more stable. He charged us $50. So, there’s a bit of good luck. I was afraid it was going to be several hundred to get everything sorted out — if not more, because we would have to get someone to take [...]
Restaurant CityPosted by Ami-chan on June 10, 2009
I’ve been playing a new game on Facebook called Restaurant City which is another of those “addicting fun” games.
You play a restaurant owner, and can hire yourself and friends to work in your restaurant as chefs, waiters and cleaners, and other people from facebook have sprites that come into your restaurant. When you get [...]
How Things Are GoingPosted by Ami-chan on
Things are both up and down at the house right now. On the upside the air conditioner is all but fixed. We were only without AC for a few hours on Monday but it felt like forever.
We have a builder coming to give us an estimate on replacing the board that the unit is [...]
