Camping tomorrow

I've been swimming everyday lately, except today. My partner in crime has unwelcome guests in town. We went to the mall to look for sandals for his bf.
I bought several white shirts that were on sale. it was a happy day.
Rob and I bought stuff for our camping trip tomorrow. We'll be back Monday morning. It's gonna be great. We are going to a reservior in IN called Raccoon SRA, it's very close to turkey run, but I heard it's cheaper and better. So check it out if you are interested.

Motherhood

I wanna be a stay home mom. I have not only once said it to everybody that is somebody to me. 我总会挂在嘴边，the best thing that can happen to me right now is pregnancy. The most concern I have right now is the possibility of infertility. Maybebecause i have not been knocked out yet (not that i was wishing for it), but just the statistic from my past does not necessarily work in my advantage.

I have a confession to make - I am not a safty girl, never have been. The fact that teenage preganency has never hit my harbor is a miracle and a puzzle to me. 夜路走多了，总会遇到鬼吧！

I don't think i can be a completed woman without motherhood. It will be the big empty black hold in life, and i'll try to fill it up with as much stuff as i can. but the hole in my heart and my life will never be filled with the wrong thing. All the worldly things i can think of can only sustain temporary relieve.

That is my soul purpose. I know for certain, it will be that one thing everybody search for-across the globe-to hopefully save the regret and emptiness in your heart when you are laying in your deathbed. Whatever may your hole be, you better fill it before that moment comes. I have never felt so sure about anything like this one, I will be a mother. I long to be a complete woman with no regret and no return.

Burn baby Burn!

Your Element Is Fire

Your passion and emotion are as obvious as the brightest flame. You make sparks fly, and your passion always has the potential to burst out. You are exciting and creative - and completely unpredictable. You sometimes exercise control, and sometimes you let yourself go. Friends describe you as sensitive, spirited, and compulsive. Bright and blazing with intensity, you seem mysterious and moody to many.

There is NO wedding

So on Friday, Jane Jane, Lixuan and I went to David's Bridal and tried on wedding dresses! it was actually a lot of fun, i managed to bluff my way thru. here are a couple pictures we took...

Cold Sore

I have a painful cold sore on the corner of my mouth. It's just soooooooooooo annoying! And guess what? Cold sores are caused my herpes virus type I ! Doesn't that sound scary? Genital herpes are caused by herpes virus type II, so don't worry... But anyway, it is very contagious. If you have had cold sore before, you should have noticed that if you pick or pop it, it will spread around and cause more sores around the mouth! But the bad news is there is no cure for it. it will eventually goes away in 7-10 days. The Chinese wives' tales have always been to take vita B and vita C tablets 3 times a day, it will help to shorten the duration. I think it's probably helping the body to boost the immune system to fight the virus more efficient. In any case, I can't eat or talk very well these days, I might not pick up your calls, so email me!

Sorry Laaaa

Sorry to all these IE only users, i tried and tried. I just can't figure out how to make it easier for you to see my blog. the best i can do is to use mozilla to view, that seems like the only way.

RAT I AM

Though the Western rat is reviled as little more than a bottom-dwelling disease carrier, this animal is viewed much differently in the East. The Eastern rat is revered for its quick wits and its ability to accrue and hold on to items of value; rats are considered a symbol of good luck and wealth in both China and Japan. Clever and quick-witted, the Rat of the Chinese Zodiac is utterly disarming to boot. Possessed of excellent taste, this Sign flaunts its style at every turn. Its natural charm and sharp, funny demeanor make it an appealing friend for almost anyone. The Rat likes to know who is on its side and will treat its most loyal friends with an extra measure of protection and generosity.

Behind that sweet smile, though, Rats are keen and unapologetic promoters of their own agendas. This Sign is motivated by its own interests, which often include money; greed can become a problem if the Rat isn't careful to keep its priorities straight. This Sign's natural powers of charm and persuasion can definitely come in handy! Although they are often hoarders, Rats can be very generous to those in their "pack," namely friends and family members who have proven their loyalty. Others might perceive them as quick-tempered and sharp-tongued, but never boorish. Verbal jousting is a great pleasure for the Rat, a Sign that everyone around will quickly learn either to love or to hate.

Rats enjoy being on the outside looking in, as the outside affords a view into the inner workings of a system or situation. The Rat's keen mind always seeks out new knowledge, to be stored away for future use. This ever-curious Sign also welcomes challenges as a way to stay sharp. If boredom sets in the Rat is no fun at all, but that isn't likely; this Sign knows how to keep itself entertained.

A valuable lesson for Rats is to learn to consider others above themselves, at least sometimes. If they can develop their sense of self and realize it leaves room for others in their life as well, Rats could find true happiness.

The most compatible match for a Rat is the Dragon or the Monkey.

4th of July 2006

I was in Ludington, MI over the 4th of July weekend with Rob and his family. We stayed at Rob's cousin, Kelley's house. Kelley is the daughter of Tom's (Rob's father) little brother, Mike. She is married to Ted and have a son, Caleb and a new born daughter, Erica.

Her sister Kimberly have a daughter, Kalie and a new born son, Logan. Kalie is spending her summer with her grandparents, uncle Mike and aunt Jody.

Over the weekend I met Kelley and her husband Teb, her parents Mike and Jody, her kids Caleb and Erica, her niece Kalie. Rob's parents Tom and Carol, Carol's sister Jan, Jan's daughter and her kids Grace and Natelie. Jan's kittens Shadow and Maxine. Also Tom's other brother Steve and his wife and kid. Tom's cousin and her kids. Kelley's in-laws and their relatives.

In conclusion, lots of people who are Rob's relatives in some way or another.

I went the beach a LOT. I LOVE IT> michigan lake's water is very cold. But i still can't get enough of it. They have fine white sand beach that's just worth to die for. I wish i could live in ludington. It's a very nice little town. I went to the Fine Arts and Crafts Fair, and the town's 4th of July Parade. Played with kittens and kids. Had yummy ice cream from House of the Flavors, fresh water seafood from local eatery. Watched fireworks on the beach. It was a perfect weekend. I learned how to play poker with the guys...


And highlight of the weekend. I FLOODED kelley's bathroom...
I forgot to turn off the focet before i went in the shower. Uncle mike banned on the door when i had soap in my hair. I jumped out, there was water everywhere! I couldn't get dressed, because my clothes have gone soaked also. So i had just a towel around me and soap in my hair when he rushed in to save the situation. It was very embarrasing and hilarious at the same time. This great family tale will definitely stay around for a couple hundred years!

We drove back from Ludington, MI last night. It was about 5 hours drive, got to champaign around 4 in the morning. I had such a GREAT time. Loved the people, the place, the kids and everything else!

Happy 4th of July everyone!
