whew

Turns out someone just guessed my password on WoW and all is well.

Cat was actually online and we chit chatted a few minutes about the CRAZY EXPENSIVE HOUSING in London. It turns out an APARTMENT in London is $6400 a MONTH that's right kids. $6400.00 for ONE MONTH. for an apartment. not a house. an apartment.
I was able to get me, Cat and Mona in a chat room together for a few minutes on yahoo. It was good to get "together" :)

crappity crap crap crap.

apparently my WoW account got hacked or SOMETHING because I got an email today that it was under suspension! I've hardly been on in the past couple months. The email said:
"Details: Character(s) on this account were found to be used for intended exploitation of the World of Warcraft economy." Anyone know what that means? me either. grrrr

I never knew...

I never knew what a slow healing wound grief is. I've had other people close to me pass away, both my mothers parents passed in 2002, but lets face it, they were OLD! They died of natural causes with resolved lives. Having someone so young taken so violently and so UNnaturally just cuts to the core.
it's been one year and 3 months and it still brings me to tears to think of it but I can tell my wound is slowly closing.
Earlier in the month I had a birthday. While I was making my guest list and "eviting" people I went through and decided to tidy my contact list. When I came to Karens name, I felt it was time to take that tiny stitch out of my wound. I deleted her from my address book. I still can't believe it. It feels like I'm betraying her although I know if she were here she'd be saying "oh get OVER it" lol
That night I skipped the first part of worship team practice and sat in on the Grief Share group I used to attend. I couldn't even tell them what I had done, I just wrote it down in my journal.
Today I'm changing my Myspace name back to Laura Chin. I've been A Sister Mourns for a long time now! It's a big step for me and an even bigger one to write it down here.

yikes, ok i'm freaking out

ok, i totally didn't realize how Paul, Cat and Tate moving would make me feel!

I'm tracking their flight on Flight Stats, which is pretty interesting.

The problem is, I've been a bit teary all day about it, and the closer they get to leaving our continent, the more watery I get. They're so close to the North Atlantic, they'll be over it within the hour.

All I can say is thank God for email, webcams and IM's

you know you really hate housework when....

You are ironing a pair of your 3 year olds jeans and you realize that it is the first time lol

(for real-mom took a picture since it may never happen again)

*ok after a couple of questions, I was ironing Daniels jeans for pictures at church. I thought I could at least pretend my kids aren't wrinkled most of the time*

Daniel's new 'do'

Today we went to Marlin's shop for a good old barber shop cut


Daniel loves getting his hair cut by Marlin


Marlin asked "do you want to see my pet monkey?" and showed Daniel the mirror lol


What a handsome man!


Mr. Marlin and Daniel
