New Nanny!Ya know, sometimes I forget that I have a blog!! Sorry for my negligence! I really should be blogging more these days.. b/c..... *drumroll*.... we finally hired a nanny thanks to C-note!! I actually don't know her mandarin name (it's too hard for me to remember) and so I just call her Ah-Yi or Auntie hahaa. She started on Labor Day and for the most part, we like her. She's really good with the baby and so far she cooks really well, loves to keep clean, do laundry, she irons, vacuums, mops the floor, and makes dumplings and wontons. She even reads Chinese books to Jacob as she is studying Mandarin herself. Since I work part-time, she is able to help out with house chores while I'm with the baby. And when I go to work and run errands, she takes care of Jacob. The only thing that I'm not wild about is the fact that she is super gabby and can be loud. I need to work on laying down the law early so she won't get used to speaking her mind too much.
Having a nanny doesn't necessarily mean getting more sleep for me... just more time to take care of stuff, like for example - finally going in for a consult to get my wisdom teeth pulled!!! *cringe*... I've been putting it off for literally years and now one of the teeth is giving me some pressure. So on Monday, I'm gonna get the top 2 wisdom teeth pulled. I'd like to add that when the assistant was taking x-rays of my mouth, he observed that "you have a small jaw, more room for wisdom teeth" hahahaaa. The bottom 2 teeth are a different story. I need to get an oral surgeon to get those suckas out, cuz they're in quite deep. And of course I'd need general anesthesia. yikes!!
The next step after my wisdom teeth have been yanked out is BRACES or INVISALIGN. *cringing again*.
And the next step after braces/invisalign is to get a MOUTH GUARD, since poor chuperman has had to listen to me grind my teeth occasionally in the middle of the night to the point where they're so flat and putting me at risk at becoming a vegetarian haha.
Having a nanny is also cool to have so that I can freely go out like to Newsong's mom's ministry meetings every Friday AM, then go to work after that, without having to lug jacob around with me. So yesterday was the kick-off mtng for mom's ministry. And boy o boy, didn't realize that the leadership team was that hilarious! I was laughing the whole time! Turn out was great - there weren't enough seats, so mommies had to stand. And the best part was home-made hawaiian style brunch. We're talking hawaiian style eggs and sausages, gigantic blueberry pancakes, coconut pancakes, macadamia pancakes, banana pancakes, and tropical salad.
In response to your comment El Gato regarding celebrating at Javier's or Taco Rosa after hiring a nanny - I say someone flip a coin cuz I really like BOTH javier's and taco rosa!
Sprinkle's Chocolate Marshmellow "Ding Dong" Cupcake and Key Lime Cupcake:
Ok, so sprinkle's is really growing on me. I actually think that they've improved their recipes in the last few years. I really like their choc marshmellow cupcake and theiry key lime cupcake. However, the key lime cupcake won't be around that much longer - only until tomorrow!! So guess who's paying a visit to sprinkle's tomorrow? muahahaaa
And... just for fun... HAPPY EARLY HALLOWEEN says the fat lil chick!!!!
