We always have busy week ends because staying in the house is barely an option with 3 hyper active tots and 1 ‘cannot stay inside’ husband. There is this underlying fear that if we don’t do anything we may really kill each other. It is a little bit like a retired couple whose kids areContinue reading “(Kind of) mellow Fall weekend”

The End of the road ?
I waited for all this to happen for a long long time. The day my three kids would start pre school/day care and will no longer camp out in our living room. The day DH would start a new job. The day I would be a full-time entrepreneur. This day was also earmarked as the potential endContinue reading “The End of the road ?”
Shit that Lao people (or at least my folks) like to say
I have dropped some breadcrumbs, post after post, about how crazy my extended family is and how their madness may very likely be connected to the fact that they are Lao. I am aware that it is a racist statement but still…I let you be the judge after you finish reading this post. Also everything writtenContinue reading “Shit that Lao people (or at least my folks) like to say”
Mood of the day: Pitch That
Today is a big day because it is the first day that I will be sharing details of Another Garde, the fashion startup I have been working on since February to a friend/business brain/potential investor. It’s scary because I want her to be ruthless and tell me in the face if this whole business conceptContinue reading “Mood of the day: Pitch That”
Deep in South
Wow, it just occurred to me that I haven’t talked about our family vacation !!! How can I not share a 2,000 Miles road trip to the land where one of the most popular songs is: ‘Whiskey in my water’? After last year’s post-vacation meltdown, I was adamant that this year was going to beContinue reading “Deep in South”
Mood of the day: Uniform
I am deemed to have more business related meetings and it is thus time to start getting some ‘go-to’ pieces. The problem is that I have no idea of what ‘go to’ pieces mean these days considering that a-I am reinventing my professional life for the 5th time in 15 years and b-I have beenContinue reading “Mood of the day: Uniform”
S-T-O-P
I hate bad customer service. It is one of those things that really bug me. Living in New York does not help; I get even more demanding now. However, something very out of character happened to me: two weeks ago, I almost tipped someone so that they stopped doing their job so well. It wasContinue reading “S-T-O-P”
The day when… OR Blimey, because my life needs more excitment…
A man in a suit carrying a blue folder under his arm at 11am is a pretty banal sight in Corporate New York. When the man in a suit carrying a blue folder at 11am is not at work but is standing in your living room and is your red-faced DH, you know that yourContinue reading “The day when… OR Blimey, because my life needs more excitment…”
Love letter to New York #2: Central Park
For the second installment of my New York series, I chose our ‘garden’. I have tried to write how I feel about Central Park but I truly lack the words and the prose. The thing with Central Park is that I thought I knew everything about it because of my addiction to Sex and the City reruns:Continue reading “Love letter to New York #2: Central Park”
A day in the life: Greenpoint, Blackmail and Dexter
Note: I have been MIA for almost 3 weeks and have a lot of catching up to do!!! Looking forward to reading some of my fave bloggers. You know who you are 🙂 7.00am The Screw Up The day started by a sobering realization: I gave our nanny her Friday off so she could haveContinue reading “A day in the life: Greenpoint, Blackmail and Dexter”
