So I have some time to kill before I head out to my brother's place and sign some paper work for him since he's offshore. I'm starting to have itchy fingers to help my brother to sell his house. It's over a year now. Hmmm... Nah. I need him to step up and do something. This is his chance to man up and do something around here. But seriously, I think the Realtor is taking advantage of my brother. They probably taking their sweet time and knows my brother doesn't know any better anyway, but who knows... selling a house isn't easy. So if my brother manages to go through with this process. Pat on the back for him*
So, my check came home to fix my car. I just haven't have time to go drop it off at Hoai's place. I saw him this past weekend and told him about it. BTW, I was right and Vinh was wrong about the process. =) I think I'm going to drop it off next week when I leave to Boston. I'm so excited!!! And also Nervous!! About the trip and my Boards. It's next Tuesday. I've been busy studying! I have a whole weekend of work, but I'll be studying in between rounds too. I been going to the Starbucks at the beginning of Veterans. I went there one night when Barnes was packed with people. It's better that way too, so I won't get distracted from my studies. and the view and atmosphere is nice.
I have so much to write about I don't know where to start. It's been a busy month.
Vinh and I went Painting!! It was so fun I went back the very next day to paint again with my little sister. Now, we've been painting at home. I already bought some supplies to paint at my house. I went to Micheal's and Hobby Lobby to buy painting stuff on sale too! Spent about 50 bucks for everything. Shopping with coupons and looking for deals. Nice! We painted a Hello Kitty already and Yoshi is on our agenda next for a house painting party when we have the chance. But I must say, going to a studio to paint is a must do experience.
This past weekend was Dung's birthday and my sister's baby baptism. Honey had to drive us to Biloxi and back to New Orleans and then Lafayette and back again. sleepless but well worth it. They rented a place for the weekend in the woods by the water for fishing and outdoorsy stuff. While driving there, I was thinking of Friday the 13 stuff, like it was so scary I could just imagine Jason running out from the woods... And it is October and near Halloween too. Ekk! When we first got there, the first thing they do is welcome us with a shot. Let me just say, the time Vinh and I was there, 5 bottles were done. From Hennessy Black and X.O.'s. Not to mention the ones they finished the night before and after we left. We ate some of Dung's famous baked spaghetti. Yummy! We BBQ'd and even had a bon-fire and made smores until it the started to rain. At night, we went out to the Hard Rock and danced and drank some more. Vinh and I left early back to New Orleans though.
We napped and woke to go to Lafayette for my nephew Eddison's Baptism. Vinh and I had to go pick up the pig at Hong Kong that morning for my mom before we head off. I also had a Flour Power cake for them. It was a nice raspberry white cake with fresh fruit and everyone loved it. Much lighter than the chocolate strawberry shortcake I ordered for my workplace last time. It looked real pretty but too overwhelming. Can't wait til Mardi Gras time and try their Banana Foster one. I have one more coupon for it. Anyways, Vinh drove my dad's new Tundra to the church with my parents and I as passengers. Kinda weird but cool too. Our car was stuck all the way inside and couldn't get out. Oh yeah, Vinh asked my parents for permission to take me to Boston. =D it was cute. I think my dad really likes him. He didn't mind that Vinh was driving his new car. He even joked about us not even being married when we were taking a picture with Eddison. It's amazing how Vinh is very comfortable with my family. I hope I can be the same way when I visit his family in Boston.
I have to much to write about... but what I need to do is just live my life.
I want to put the Christmas Tree up early this year. At the end of last year, I bought purple ornaments on sale. It was dirt cheap but so pretty!! I can't wait for a new theme this year. Purple and gold... Or Purple and white, or Purple and silver. Well, it'll have to wait til after Boards and Boston trip.
