I am 12 chapters ahead since the last time I touched the HP book last night before I slept. Wow, 10 more chapters excluding the last “unnumbered ending chapter” and I am done.
Don’t worry, I will not be spilling any spoilers here.
I hope to finish the book tonight or maybe tomorrow afternoon while I wait […]

The Carnival of Family Life is up at An Island Life. This week’s host, Kailani has done an awesome job! There were so many entries for this week and sorting all that out is one thing and another to categorize each of them!
I am now officially nervous and pressured to host this carnival for the […]

I made a big leap from Chapter 3 yesterday by eating my lunch for less than 10 minutes and reading for the rest of my one hour lunch break.
Spent about an hour reading last night and then again on lunch break today - in the dark. Lights come off at lunch, to conserve electricity. I […]

Basically one chapter at a time with breaks in between would not possible to finish a 600+ pages book in 10 hours! Who was I kidding?

Large family is riot but I love children’s laughter.

The more, the merrier.

I think I have so much love to give.

The thought of possibly getting pregnant with twins excites me. My grandmother has a […]

Summing it up:
They pretended to accept my application and asked me to wait for a week. Told me they call. That’s a progress after being denied so many times.
No calls at all. I went there again to follow-up after 7 days. As expected, ho-hum…
It’s not ready. Wait again for a week. They never run out […]

Extremely hot and humid temperature continues today. I can’t imagine how it is to walk for more than 2 minutes outside. Imagine how it would be for my mother and my young daughter to be spending time at home with this heat - without a/c!!!
