Farewell and personal maid

Our good friend Tricia, not to mention my personal political information resource, left last night for one year to embark on a life changing adventure in Hong Kong. To celebrate and let's face it, just eat out, we friends gathered to send her off into a new country by eating that Countrie's food. Sarah, i know you missed it, but we pretended you were there (or at least i did!), and dave can even edit you into the photo if you like! Here we are chowing down on gooooooooddddd hong kongian foods:
Oh, and a word about my personal maid: for the last week i have had one. She looks like this:
Imagine that, it is my mother! She has been visiting, and has cleaned our house top to bottom . Me like! She even got down on her hands and knees with our little, but very powerful, dust buster to vacum Corrie's room. I haven't washed dishes in a week, plus i thought i swept alot (at least once every two days), and my mom has swept at least 2 times a day! So everything is fresh and smells great. It was nice to take Cleaning off my to do list this week and focus more on Corrina and myself. No Worries, we still had lots of time to visit (she's quick... quicker than me!) We even got to celebrate a little bit of her birthday with her (bet you can't guess her real age!) The only down fall is that my mom really doesn't like play board games, at all, so we had to find other entertainment... well, not for her, she entertains herself, just for ourselves!Corrina has really 'chubbed out' this last week.

Take it easy,
janie
