Mom-in-Law's SURPRISE 60th Party!










On Saturday, we surprised Jonathan's mom at a Chinese restaurant in Roland. Uncles, Aunties, and cousins and friends were there. I think she was genuinely surprised. :) Here are some pics Joy took of us!

The big ONE!

Everyone should have already received their invites. RSVP when you get the chance!









Blogging much?

I hope I give my readers interesting stuff to read about because sometimes I'm just writing about my random thoughts throughout the day. I want to say thanks to all the loyal readers of my blog. Please leave comments on my blog. :)
Anyhow, I've been blogging a lot these days because I'm SUPER BORED! And I shouldn't be...I'm pretty busy here, but sometimes my brain just needs a break! Latest IMFB news...The FDIC is going to select a buyer some time in the beginning of December...There are 4 potential buyers of the WHOLE bank which means, YAY! There is a good chance I get to keep my job! If not, the FDIC is going to liquidate IMB....this could take at least another 6 months. Anyhow, the ideal is to sell IMFB as a whole, of course...
Side note....the Terminator was here at Indymac last week. He was here to discuss a loan mod program or something....some folks on the 6th floor said they saw him.

Shadow the Homeless Dog

Shadow must have at least 5 flies on him everyday. So sad...he's so neglected. So, this past Sunday, I asked Jonathan to give him a good bath. After his bath, I groomed him, brushed him out, brushed his teeth and cleaned his ears. If you ask me, Jonathan has the better end of the deal. :) Anyhow, after Shad was nice and clean, we let Nathan pet Shadow. Nathan just loved petting Shad and pulling on his whiskers, lips, and ears. Shadow was very patient with Nathan and allowed Nathan to torment him. I was just cracking up. :) Afterwards, we took him out for a walk with Nathan and a neighbor of ours shouted across the street, "How old is your dog?!?!"....We said, "3 years!"...and He goes, "Gorgeous dog!"....I was thinking myself....."little does he know that he is neglected"....

Ceeeee Peeeee Ayyyyyy

3 years ago, I passed the CPA exam...but in order to be a CPA officially, I have to have 2 years of experience reporting to an active CPA. DOH! Both my manager and my manager's manager does not have a license...But, 2 years ago, I started to work with the Chief Accounting Officer, and he has an active CPA license! Yea! He signed off on my attestation several months ago...Now, all I have to do is pass the Ethics exam. What? Another exam?! So, the cost of the exam is $125, and the board sent me a huge textbook to read. I don't have time to read that! But, I'm going to have time find the time...the deadline is one year for me to take the exam...or actually 8 months, now....I really need to find the motivation to read the darn thing.
