11月27日

今天11月27日, 感恩节后的第一天, 又称 Black Friday.
在美国,过完感恩节,各大商城紧锣密鼓的为圣诞节促销, 推出很多Deal.
上午8点半, 带我闺女Shopping去了, 买了礼物一大堆. 为圣诞节准备. 还是不能传照片, 估计我这MSN照片上传的功能是永久性的坏掉了.
 
11月26日, 是俺娘的农历生日. 给我妈打电话的时候, 国内是早上7点半. 很多电话里没有说的话, 妈妈,女儿真的很想你,也很想和你一起过生日, 很想给你过一个好生日. 我会努力的. 争取在不久的将来, 一家人团聚.

11月21号

这几天天气稍微暖和点. 可以带着女儿到院外面散步. 难得的天气.
这周末休息,一家人都在.老公的猎季算是结束了.
准备忙活着为感恩节, 明天还得忙活着狂购圣诞节的礼物. 哎, 这年头,到哪都得花钱.
 
顺便,新买的笔记本电脑,挺好用的. 赞Dell.
女儿试着自己站起来,虽然试图没有成功.但当妈的我很意外. 觉得女儿最近有些小脾气,没有以前听话.什么东西都要摸一下,什么东西都往嘴里放.跟她说No,脾气还很大.
使我再次认识到:女儿在一天一天的长大. 总有一天要挣脱我的掌心,不是总往我怀里钻的Cuddle bug了.

YouTube - Jerome Kern - The Way You Look Tonight
  

the way you look tonight

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.

You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.

Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.

Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
Just the way you look tonight.
Darling
Just the way you look tonight.

just love my Desperate Housewives

God, I 真的太喜欢绝望主妇.
虽然故事内容越来越Drama. 但是还是看的入迷.

got my new Dell

I got my new Dell just five minutes ago. I am using it right now. Good feelings.
yeah. Got to install Chinese typing first.

女儿照镜子

Emma特别喜欢镜子。
给她买的都是不会摔碎的玩具镜子。最逗得是 她双手捧着,很认真地样子。对着自己笑,还咿咿呀呀的对着镜子里的自己说话。

亲亲我的宝贝

Emma刚刚睡着,看着女儿甜蜜又可爱的睡相,心里很美。额头上轻轻的一吻,我说,宝贝,晚安。Good Night, Sweet Dreams。
老公去打猎了,出行3天。
今天我休息,除了在家蜗居上网,和女儿读书,今天还出外了3个多小时。我和Emma又Shopping去了。又买了一大堆喜欢的,用的着的,用不着的。
记录一下女儿最近的成长情况。
吃,可以吃Gerber 阶段3的食物了,给她买了好多阿拉斯加三文鱼,补DHA了。
喝,现在女儿喝配方奶,喝的可好了。我一大桶一大桶的买,她是一大桶一大桶的喝。这比起母乳喂来,配方奶还真贵啊。不过现在不母乳喂,我吃饭的压力没了。不用考虑各种营养的问题了。不吃饭也没有罪恶感了。
女儿困的时候,饿的时候,还是喜欢往我怀里钻,然后伸嘴就舔。口水流的。。。
我就抱着去冲奶,然后奶瓶往嘴里一放。。。哈哈哈。
 
很坏的习惯,见什么都往嘴里塞。这不,下午带着去散步,经过小公园,我把她放在地上,有很多叶子,她伸手速度之快,让我吃惊,拿着叶子就往嘴里塞,我硬是没拦住。抱过来,我说,张开嘴,我试图掰开她的嘴巴,小家伙硬是不张开嘴巴。
算了,让她吃吧。吃了叶子,估计赶明拉出草来。。。
 
 

感恩节前的感恩

感恩节,下周到。下个星期四。快了。还有10天。
2009年的感恩节,我要过的不一样。以往都是聚好多好多人,到朋友家。今年不一样。我跟老公商量好了,今年哪都不去,就呆在家里,过一个我们自己的感恩节。
2009年的感恩节,第一次我要做厨师做感恩节的大餐。我已经有主意了,烤火鸡,红薯,胡萝卜,Squash,豆角,蘑菇,红酒,各种果汁饮料,甜点我已经预订了,Cheesecake Factory的Cheesecake当然少不了各种口味的冰淇凌。(欢迎大家今年来我家过感恩节奥)
2009年的感恩节,我很感恩,最大的感恩,感谢女儿平安的出生,正健康的成长着,一天一天的,一点一点的在学新知识。感恩,女儿的一点一滴。
很感恩,找到了一份合时宜的工作,离家近,白天大部分时间可以照顾女儿,虽然比较辛苦,但是我知足了。
感恩,Brian还有Brian爸爸妈妈对我的关爱和照顾。对我的决定总是那么支持。
感恩,远在国内的爸爸妈妈,和家人朋友们对我的思念和理解。
很多很多感恩。谢谢所有这一切。

MSN 让我上火

MSN的照片上传,还没好。我的messenger 又坏了。也不知道咋回事?一个劲让我更新版本,我也更新了,可是还是让我更新。。。
无法登陆。
于是乎,Messenger打不开了。
上火!上火!上火!!!!!!!!

网购了

刚刚网购了一款Dell的笔记本电脑。爽。800美元票票又飞了。
不过说11月17号就能收到新笔记本电脑了。期待中。
 

11月13日

最近工作太累,人也懒得更新。搜狐的照片,我只上传了几次。还是喜欢MSN多点。可是照片还是没有修复好。失望。
生活用四字成语形容,应该说是,疲于奔命。奔别人的命,也奔自己的命。
工作性质决定,我是在奔别人的命,照顾病危老患,自从开始了这份工作,死亡这个词,仿佛并没有那么可怕,距离生活也不那么远。面对过死亡,见惯了死亡,每天忙碌在照顾和死亡斗争的生命。所以我在“奔”别人的命。
 
工作每天下午3点到夜里11点,到了家,12点左右,宝贝女儿仿佛和我有心灵感应,每次我一到家,一开门,不管我脚步多轻,她都会恩恩的醒来,抱抱她,喂喂她,她习惯了和我睡,我也懒得再挪窝,于是我也就和女儿睡一张床,10月份的时候,女儿有了自己的卧室,给她买了Princess的白粉色套装家具,和床罩,被子。她现在大部分时间睡她的大床。CRIB已经很少睡了。(有照片,但不能传)。老公抱怨,女儿的房间成了我的第二个卧室。我时间都给了女儿,他嫉妒。晕,他仿佛和小孩子一样。我也不怪他,他7点半到下午5点的班。见我的时间不多。他离开家的时候,我在睡,我到家的时候,他在睡。quick hi and bye.
 
我知道,女儿应该自己睡,和我睡,是个很坏的习惯。只是女儿从出生到现在,睡觉很轻,睡3个小时,醒一次,然后我就会抱抱她,喂喂她,她就趴在我身上睡着了。然后我也睡着了。很坏的习惯,可我太累,不想改了。而且我喜欢这个坏习惯。我改不了。听不到女儿,我睡不着。
女儿早上6点半起床,正好我犯困的时间,有天早上,我实在不想起,也实在太累,起不来。她就在我身上抓,往我脸上蹭,真把我的脸给抓伤了。
起来了,喂早餐,变着花样的喂。陪她玩,变着花样的玩。在她午睡的时候,我还有一大堆事要做。奔自己的命。
 
有时候,晚上睡不着的时候,回顾自己的生活,自己快奔三十的年纪,到底过得怎样?到底是要什么样的生活?都是很傻的问题。我也没答案。
只知道,生活不是梁祝的化蝶,不是灰姑娘和王子的童话。生活在我的忙碌中,一天又一天。尽着努力扮演好我的角色,做好本份的工作,很努力的做着母亲,做着妻子,做着女儿。

11月7日

弟弟写信来说,要年终考了,还有英语四级考试也快了。考完了就放寒假。
祝他考试成功。这样好过个快乐充实的寒假。
猛然意识到11月了,马上2009年就结束了。。。
一年又一年。。。日子说快也真快。
 
天气已经很冷了,俺们这已经下过两次雪了。不过雪都没有积下来。
工作还是日复一日的转着。还好,一切都在我应付之中。同事们对我也很好。 
就是做个Working Mom真是不容易啊。
带孩子虽然累,但也有很多乐趣。这就是生活的酸甜苦辣吧。
梦琳10个月大了,自从断奶以后,现在吃饭吃的香,吃奶瓶也吃得好。晚上也不那么哭闹了。一哭,奶瓶往嘴里一塞,就停。真好。
老公也觉得我不在的时候,他带宝宝,宝宝乖巧多了,早知道,就不母乳喂了。。。
 
11月是美国自由打猎的季节,老公11月有两个星期的假期,上个星期去猎鹿了,不过啥也没打到呢。下个星期继续。。。哎,男人的野心。
 
昨天带女儿打针去了,流感疫苗一针。没怎么哭,打完后,我说,宝宝真乖,妈妈带你买玩具去。
这么小,我就开始贿赂她了。哈哈哈,宠孩子也有宠孩子的乐趣。
医院附近有商场,商场内有DISNEY的专卖店,每次看完医生,都会带宝宝去买玩具,现在她已经有两套收集了,一套POOH BEAR, 一套Ni Hao Kai Lan。

落叶带来的意外惊喜

万圣节,同事们都统一要穿COSTUME,而且会有一个Costume contest, 事先我没准备,也不知道要做什么好。
结果周六那天早上,大窘。不知道该穿什么好?
跑去几家店,除了Witch女巫,就是一些不合时宜的衣服。不喜欢!
 
心里盘算,算了,我就不穿Costume了,回家开车路上,风起的时候,落叶满天飞。各种颜色,红的,黄的,棕的,绿色。。。
突然有了一主意,我要采集落叶,然后把叶子镶到首饰上,靴子上。缝到我的裙子上,而且还要做落叶的头饰。
 
距离下午三点上班之前,我只有两个班小时,我叫来Emma的爷爷,还有邻居家大人孩子,帮我。
他们觉得我主意不错,开始忙活。
在我们一大群人的努力之下,在我上班前45分钟,我的costume做好了。
同事们见了,都说好漂亮,有叶子,裙子上背地有花,头饰,首饰,裙子,加上满是叶子的靴子。
 
大家都说,我是mother nature 哈哈,我说我是Chinese Fairy.
今天周一,比赛结果出来了。我得了,一等奖,另加封最有创意奖。
很意外,奖应该归于落叶的美丽和色彩。
 
有照片,但是MSN还是不能传。我对MSN已经心灰了。啥时候我得照片才能修好呢????

costumes for Halloween

All in the family


"Trevor, our 4-month-old, was a lobster for Halloween. Mommy and Daddy dressed up as chefs. He had a lot of fun going trick-or-treating — but of course his candy was given to the other trick-or-treaters." — Jennie Norris


"Our family always likes to dress up in thematic costumes. We chose Noah's ark — my oldest son was Noah in his ark (made out of a laundry basket with holes cut out for the windows and stuffed animals peeking out). My baby was a turtle (I made the shell out of paper mache). My husband dressed up as a 'sheet of rain,' and I was a rainbow. We had a lot of fun!" — Carolyn Brednich


"I'm sure you've seen this idea before, but it was just the cutest! I found a little pigs bunting pattern complete with a hat, and the costumes were born. Dad made his wolf costume and did a fantastic job." — Charlene Johnson




"My 2.5-year-old is dressed as Nemo from Finding Nemo, I'm a cat in a fish tank, and her dad is a scuba diver. Her costume is a dress pulled up over her hat. I just added some fun foam, netting, and stripes. Mine is a spray-painted cardboard box with paper characters on it. Her dad's costume is a black shirt and pants with yellow duct tape stripes and some 2-liter soda bottles, a jump rope (for the hose), a snorkel set, and some foam flippers stuck under his sandal straps. He had to walk the town parade route in these and got a special round of applause at the judging area — we won in the group category." — Vickie Chandler


"We went with a family theme: Dad was a Boy Scout; I was a campfire; our son, Romney, was a s'more; and our daughter, Averie, was a Swiss Army pocket knife, complete with keychain ring. I made all the costumes except the Boy Scout. The fire is made of craft foam hot-glued to a rolled brim hat. The wood is felt, glued to a foam backing. The s'more is cardboard, brown felt, and small pillows made of muslin. The pocket knife is fleece with foam 'blades,' insignia, and keychain. We had a great Halloween!" — Mari Olson


"This is a picture of my niece, Alison, my two nephews, Cameron and Mitchell, and my little boy, Jason, as Goldilocks and the Three Bears. My mother made the costumes." — Tina Mancusi


"I needed to come up with a costume that wouldn't feel too restraining to my 5-year-old, Nicholas, who has autism. We decided that the whole family would go as The Wizard of Oz, and Nicholas would be the Scarecrow. I sewed patches to his hat, sleeves, and pants and cut the arms and legs into strips. They looked like straw — without the itchiness of it. He wore his costume all day and was a huge hit at school. My 6-year-old, Kelli, was Dorothy. My 2-year-old, Oliver, was the Cowardly Lion (I used a bear costume — some say he looked more like a bear). I was Glinda. And my husband, Andy, was the Tin Man. We really had a blast, though I think the neighbors loved it more than anyone." — Suzanne Green


"My husband, Richard, taught himself to sew one weekend and made all four of our Star Wars costumes. He followed a pattern that he found online. The robes were very easy to make — each one took just a few hours." — Jennifer Kensinger

万圣节

万圣节就要到了。这个周五。
这几天天天下雨,天气凉凉的。让人只想呆在家里窝着。很快就感恩节,再又圣诞节,而后女儿一岁生日。
我得好好盘算着,买啥礼物了。
 
MSN还没有修好,还是不能传相片。

下雪了

周五晚上下雪了。那时我正赶往上班的路上。
惊叹,才十月,居然鹅毛大雪花。
雪下了5个多小时,伴着小雨。

Emma and Mama 的秋天,金灿灿的美丽。

落叶满地

拍了好多照片,色彩缤纷的落叶,摇摇曳曳的飘落。然后满地的色彩,满地的收获。
落叶归根,悲壮而又凄美。是大地的收获,是落叶的回报。
 
叶落的美丽,落叶的回归。
 
照片还是无法上传,无奈。

万圣节

还有两个星期,万圣节就到了。
Emma今年第一个万圣节,她的Costume是大南瓜。今年万圣节,橘黄大南瓜!
 
好消息是,我最喜欢的大学老师,裴老师来美国读她的博士学位了。她在OHIO,我好想去看她。
开车要20个小时。我计划计划,一定去看她。好好见见面,叙叙旧。
 
日子一天一天的过,转眼,叶子飘落,天气变凉,冬天的脚步近了。天气越来越冷。感觉还没过够夏天,秋天还没来得及好好享受。。。人生和气候一样,总不能如人意,近完美。
何况我住在New England这样的地区,气候更是变化无常。
 
天气凉了,朋友们,多保重。
