I never shared much about our trip back to California in December. Part of the reason was because I didn’t feel like wading through the 4,000+ photos I took when I was home. I think it’s about time I got back into the rhythm of things and started sharing some of those stories. I know, I know, it’s already February so it’s weird talking about things that happened 2 months ago but there are some pretty funny moments that just need to be shared. So let us start with the one with all the sprinkles. E and I stayed with my sister for a weekRead More →

In one month, E turns 3 years old. It always amazes me how quickly time passes by. I still can’t believe that we’re already in February… Where has all the time gone? *sigh* Hopefully, I’ll be on more consistently. Emphasis on the “hopefully” since I’ve been distracted with a few things I’ve been busy with. I’ll share more later.Read More →

A blog post! Hurray! I’m slowly working my way back into the whole blog thing. It’s a little weird visiting blogs I haven’t been to in a long while and commenting on things that go waaaay back to December so I’m just going to stick to commenting on more recent posts.  I think I may have to go through my Google Reader one day and purge blogs/websites that I no longer read or those that are no longer active. But it’s nice to see 3 digits of unread items instead of the 1000+. First off… Happy Chinese New Year! It’s the year of the dragonRead More →

Oh, my poor neglected blog…and my neglected blog life and blog friends. I’m really sorry for my lack of blog presence these past few weeks. You’re probably wondering what the heck is going on here at hamster central, right? Well, you can say that I lost my bloggy mojo. It’s a bit unintentional since I had every intention to jump back into the swing of things in January. There were just a few things I hadn’t planned on happening. First, there was the problem with getting E back to her pre-December rhythm. After spending a whole month in vacation mode and being pretty much joinedRead More →

Last year, instead of making a list of resolutions that were waiting to be broken, I chose a word that helped guide me in my daily life. My word for 2011 was “Go” and go I did. I accomplished a lot of things I would not have normally done because of my habit of second guessing myself. Looking back at my 2011 I realized something else though. I started on many new adventures but finishing them was another story. It’s a bad habit of mine that I’ve tried changing many times but seem to have trouble with. So that leads me to my word forRead More →

It’s the last day of the year and with about 2 hours left before the new year I feel like I should write a 2011 wrap-up post. The wordle for 2011 based on this year’s posts. This year has been an interesting one for all of us. It was a rough year for many countries too with political uprisings in the middle east and natural disasters everywhere ranging from earthquakes, floods, tornadoes and incredible heat and snow. There were royal weddings, the biggest and most watched one being the British royal wedding (though the Bhutan royal wedding was just as impressive in my opinion). ThereRead More →
