Hurricane Katrina swept in and stole millions of lives. Please take the time to remember them. Many people are still struggling to build their live again.

Smart Dog

This is my friend's dog, Kirby. Doesn't he make a cute beggar? I know I would certainly share my meal with him. He also is great to cuddle with, not to mention he has great taste.

How Liberal Or Conservative Are You?

Have we resorted to this again?

My daughter thinks she is a dog. I don't know if it's because she believes that Wasabi is her real brother, or if she thinks that she adopted us as parents. She has been trying to drink out of the dog's water bowl for the past couple of days. Today, she had me pour water in a bowl for her. Then right before dinner she "accidentally" poured soy milk all over the kitchen floor. Only to get on her hands and knees and try to lap it up. The child even tried to swim in the puddle. Perhaps she thinks she is part fish as well, a merdog or something.

You think that's bad, you should have seen the rest of her.

Let me just say that her bathwater was black by time I finished giving her a bath. And my floors, my poor floors.

Who Are You?

Tonight Fred went to the Hotter than Hell Bike rally, Usually I am one of the biggest scared cats. Every little sound makes me jump. So far I am cool. I probably shouldn't watch CSI though. I have way too many of those shows saved onto the TiVo. You know you watch too much CSI when you start imagining what it will be like to be a suspect on the show. Of course in my daydream, I am innocent. I think it will be fun to meet the guys of CSI and give them a little guessing game.

This is me.

My friend inspired me to start a blog. I have never been good at journaling. I get distracted far to easily. I also live a mundane life and don't have much to say.
Hi, my name is Cyn, aspiring midwife. I was lucky enough to find a midwife to let me explore with her. Unfortunately, she will be leaving in October. But, not before allowing me to go to one birth in September. That is next month! Yikes.
I have a wonderful husband. We met almost six years ago and have been married for almost four years. We got married on the most beautiful place in the US, Hawaii. It was magical; it was us alongside with the five elements. Every time I hear island music, I think about our magical honeymoon. I dream often about Hawaii. The moon is always so perfect.
A year later, we decide to travel the world together. We wanted to join the Peace Corps. We get accepted and was due to leave in June 2004. Instead, we get pregnant. It wasn't a complete accident. We had baby fever and tried for only a couple of times. Well you know it only takes once. We are now blessed with a beautiful daughter who was born on Labor Day of 2004. I honestly thing that she was meant to be. I keep thinking about what happened if we did go into the Peace Corps. Her soul may have never found ours. I cannot ask for a more wonderful family.

Ok guys. I promise I will not be as cheesy in my other posts. Nursing always does that to me.
