Last night, Mr. Chirp-Head did it again. At dinner time, he let 2 of the chirps out to play! Dawg and Diddy stood on Mr. Chirp-Head's shoulders, nibbled his ears and played with his necklace while we ate. I was annoyed, despite what I said, my request that the birds be put back in the cage was ignored...sure I love the chirps..but to let them out while we're having dinner?!!...Mr. Chirp-Head...what was he thinking? Actually, I know what he was thinking...he's trying to get the chirps to side with him and want them to like him more than me! Hmph! Evil!

After 2 weeks of break, today's the first day back at work . Back to reality. I cannot focus at all. All of a sudden, being a housewife doesn't sound that bad at all. Hmm...actually, I just thought about it, I don't really enjoy cleaning the house all the time either, I don't think I can be a housewife. I take that back. Wonder what Alan will say if I tell him that I wanna be the kind of housewife who has a maid. hehehe...it's gonna hard to get that by him. Better luck next life! OK, in this case, I better start focusing or buy lots of lottery tickets!

Oh ya, the chirps are back home. I miss them!!! The place feels empty without them.

Newly Wed Lesson #2: What you think is important might not be important to your husband. Therefore, you shouldn't assume that your husband will take care of it if you don't explicitly tell your husband that it's important, especially sentimental items. The best thing to do is to look after it yourself.

Why so? There's a reason for this. Here's the short version ~ There was something from the wedding (no, not the top tier of the cake, I have no regret eating it...the cake was so yummy...it was the wedding favors ~ the picture frame place cards with our names on them) that I wanted to keep for sentimental reasons (I wanted to take them out and use them on all the anniversaries to come)...and I found out today that we don't have them. Mad? No. Sad? Yes!!! Is there anything I can do? I hope the photographer took pictures of them. I guess I can print them out and frame them and use those instead. Other than that, there's nothing I can do about it. :( Lesson learned? Yes!!!!

To be fair to Alan, here's the clause to lesson 2.

Clause to Newly Wed Lesson #2: What you think is important might not be important to your wife, especially if it's related to electronic stuff..even if she's tech savvy.

I woke up and said, "I know! Let's bike the 17 Mile Drive!" He said, "Oh, good idea, why didn't I think of that?"
......
at 1:30, we picked up 2 mountain bikes and off we went. The first picture, that was taken after 30 minutes into the ride. Still pretty happy. No bickering. Two hours later, I requested that we give up and turn around. Ya right, said the husband, this was your idea and there's no turning back. Picture #2 was taken after going up the hill (and against the wind)..notice the furrows? Don't I look pleased that we made it to the peak? See that pout? It's really a smile...hahaha.. ya right!
.......
....hmm....(note to self)....newly wed lesson #1 - do not make suggestions or voice ideas without first thinking about the consequences because the husband is a "you must follow through" kinda guy.

My husband (wow-that sounds so wierd) is uploading pictures from his camera onto his computer. Both him and I were really bummed out when the weather report said that there would be showers on our wedding day. We had waited 1 year and 8 months for the big day and not once had we thought that it would rain in Southern California, especially in May!!! We were all ready for an outdoor wedding. So, the weather forecast left me in tears and a few additional pimples (stressing over something I have no control over --silly me). By Thursday, Alan convinced me that we were to trust that God would have mercy on us and that we would not think about the weather. Worse comes to worse, we'll have our ceremony in our reception room - our wedding is beautiful because it's about us uniting, not about the weather so bad weather cannot ruin it - . If it wasn't for Alan, I would have been unable to work on the flowers for the wedding. I would have been too bummed out to do it. I'm so happy that whenever I don't have faith, Alan makes up for it by having lots of it. And that at times when I'm pessimistic, he is able to see the light. Pastor Jack prayed about the weather. Many of our friends and relatives prayed about it. Sunday came and went without any rain. It started raining at midnight. This really shows that I have too little faith, if I were ever doubtful, I will not be again.

OK, who wakes up when the alarm clock goes off? I don't! I normally snooze 1.5 hours before I finally wake up. Well, I was telling a coworker, um.. he's my ex-coworker now, my problem and he pointed me to to his link,

http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2006/04/how-to-get-up-right-away-when-your-alarm-goes-off

ha! It's a very interesting way to go about it but I don't think it'll work w/ me. After 10 years of snoozing...it's hard to unlearn the habit. So I was thinking, forget the alarm clock. I don't need it. Besides, it's just unnatural to wake up when your body is not ready to wake up. Body is not ready...SNOOZE. My theory is, if you let your body get enough sleep, you'll just wake up on your own. So I gave it a try last night, went to bed w/o setting the alarm and guess what? I woke up at the same time as before, which was 1.5 hours after the ideal get up time for me, but without the snooze. hehe.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! And, Happy 4 years aniversary to me and Alan! Wow, 4 years...you can get a Bachelor Degree in 4 years! 4 years is a long time! Alan sent me some flowers, how sweet! Just when I was wondering if Alan is going to be just as romantic after we are married, he asked me if we will need to celebrate this anymore because after all, we can just celebrate our wedding aniversary. Ha! Of course (as long as he doesn't forget our wedding aniversary in the future)!

OK, so between now and the wedding, there's 2 weekends. But there's really one weekend where we can work on finishing up on the favors, the programs, and the menus, which is this weekend because the weekend after that is mother's day weekend. May 13 is Alan's grandparent's aniversary and we're having lunch with them and afterward is Ethan's red egg celebration. Then, we're probably doing to do something on Sunday, so this means, we have to get most of our stuff done this weekend. I really want to get our wedding programs done by this weekend even though it's Alan's task and I had told him that he has until the day before the wedding to get it done. Plus, I have some time right now. I thought that I can help out by working on the layout and the wording. That way, when this Saturday comes, I can go to Kinkos and get it printed in the morning and spend the afternooning assembling them with Liana and Cindy. This is so much better than doing it the day before. At least that's what I thought. I had ask Alan a few times to send me the ceremony detail...the format, the music, and etc. so I can work on the wording. This morning, when I asked Alan why he hasn't sent it to me. He said, "If you really wanted the ceremony format information, you would have gotten it, it's on my computer." What's that suppose to mean? What's so hard about sending the info as an attachement via email? Then he went on and said that if I don't trust him with the wedding stuff, there's no point in him doing anything anymore and that from this moment on, he's not going to do anything! Now, that's not fair. I didn't say I didn't trust him, I just want to help out. Since I'm blogging at work, you know what I mean about having some time in my hands? Men, why are they so sensitive?

Oh man! Guess what I have on my forehead and in the middle of my chin? ZZZZZitssss! Yep...2 big fat round zits, bright red too! Smacked precisely in the middle. Not a pretty picture. If you connect the dots, it'll draw a line down the middle of my face, from the forehead, down the nose, to my chin. ARGGGHH!!!! With only 17 days left too!!! This is not good! :(
