We're trying to get the house ready for our visitor this saturday. Even with making numerous trips to the tri-ced and st. vincent de paul, we still have a lot of stuff. A part of me just wants to throw everything out. It has gotten way better than it has been in a long time though. The upstairs looks clean, contemporary, and modern, but the downstairs, specifically the garage needs some major tlc. Franny is currently working on it. He's been up since 4 this morning, which is exactly the time I went to sleep. I'm just really happy that we'll be doing the spackling (did i spell that right?)and re-touch painting tonight. There are numerous places where the wall has been damaged. For instance, Franny created the in-wall bookcase awhile back and we never covered up the big areas of the wall that were chipped. There are a bunch of chips all over the house, especially since we have dogs. When they were puppies, they would scratch the walls near the kitchen. We have lived in this house for 5 years now, and it's about time we gave it some love.

Speaking of love, Franny has changed the location of our Anniversary celebration. Instead of Beach Chalet, we're going to have brunch at Absinthe. I've never been there, but Franny has heard good things about it.

Franny is bothering me right now. He likes to say things to make me upset, and then he laughs about it. He says inaccurate stuff on purpose, to get a little rise out of me, even though he knows the only purpose of doing so, is getting me irritated. He thinks it's just so cute when I get mad. I don't think it's cute at all. It's to early in the morning for this. Oh, and for the past few minutes, he has repeatedly said "jo, i'm naked...jo, i'm naked, jo...i'm naked". Then he flexes his arm, smirks, and kisses his bicep, then smiles. That's my husband for ya.

Don't have time to blog really. I need to sleep a little more and then get up to have lunch and go shopping with Arlene in Santana Row. We're also visiting our little niece who just popped out yesterday. I heard she looks mestiza with more of the Lim traits. Woo-hoo! Am I biased or something?

Ordered my photos from Walmart. Lee-ann Womack was there, and there were a bunch of people dressed up as different charecters, like the wonderbread man, fairies, etc., who were giving out free candy and stuff. It was fricking weird for a walmart, and a ghetto walmart at that in San Leandro. I have never seen so many white people over there in my life.

The photos turned out great and now we actually have organized albums to share with our visitors when we have parties. It took awhile for me to put them in albums, but I'm happy the albums all match...even though the quality of the albums are crappy. They are black and dark brown leather albums that look really nice, but sometimes the binding falls out. Out of 14 albums, 2 have flopped. I am going to return those two at Ross. I'm really pleased with how the bookcase looks. We worked on it last night. Before, it looked like a library bookcase, now it looks more like a showcase of different things...books, albums, frames, display boxes. I like how it looks less cluttered now.

While I was putting photos in albums, I looked at all the dog photos. I almost cried while I was going through gilbey and belle's photos of when we first got them. They looked so tiny and adorable! They grew up so fast. How weird. I never thought I could love them as much as I do.

Ken came over yesterday to drop off Jenn's letter. She did a really good job on it. Then I looked at my email and there were about 10 emails going back and forth between Ken, Jenn, and Franny. It made me crack up so much. It was about wiggling. Don't ask. LMAO. AC is still writing his letter, which he will giving to me by tomorrow. Alvin already turned in letter, although, I have no idea what he wrote.

Tonight and tomorrow will be extremely busy, as it is crunch time to get the house ready. Franny and I promised each other that we would get everything done before saturday, so that we can enjoy our anniversary together without any arguments.

Been so busy, I cancelled all appointments this week. I'm missing them badly. My back is aching for a major adjustment.
