I need to get a guitar but I need a small one for my size. I’ve heard 3/8 is good. Anybody knows what’s a good size for a tiny woman like me?
I received this postcard from Dorothea from Germany that says this and she nicely translated it for me…
“The only food you can never get enough of is the kiss.”
She also added on the postcard, “To me it sounds like a promise that when we will be old, we will still love and enjoy love’s pleasures.” I feel like she captured the whole meaning of the quote and the photo together.

I enjoy reading this book. I couldn’t put it down. Between the two books, I like The Constant Princess a little bit more.

I could smell the bourbon as soon as I took the seal off. The bourbon flavor is definitely there with ever bite. I like it but I think I’m more of a fruity or berry ice cream junkie.
Ok, next…
I forgot to log this in. She was in my dream last Sunday. I was on the floor playing with my nephew where it was her usual spot to lie down. Then, there she was walking slowly towards us and I asked if it was her. When she got closer to us, she lied down next to us and I petted her. I woke up.
I bought her flowers the next day.
Test result just alerted me few minutes ago. I’m a universal recipient.

He wanted to show me his new made-up game. It was a small, short, flat cup/container and a green jelly bean. The goal was to throw the jelly bean in the flat container. We were doing this for a while but it was tricky coz the jelly bean kept bouncing out of the container.
So I showed him that I can make the bean go around the container. He was so amazed. Then, I told him that’s physics. It’s called centripetal force. Now every time he does it, he say’s, centripetal force!
Haaaaa…last day of the month. I was looking forward for this month to end. Every week of this month had brought something awful or painful.
Anyway, I wasn’t able to finish The Other Boleyn Girl. But I read Judges and Ruth from the Bible.
Two days ago, I went to visit her gravesite at the backyard. I was kneeling with one knee to take the leaves out of the site. At the corner of my eye, I thought I saw something moving so I looked over. For a split second, I thought I saw her walking fast towards me. I smiled and thought, I’m missing her so much I’m imagining her. But before I could finish my thought, I felt something bump me so I tipped over on my side. I smiled and asked if that was her. She liked getting hugs especially when I’m on the floor. She would get so close that she would pushed me to my side.
Last night, I dreamt I was sitting at the dinner table. She planted her chin on my lap right next to my hand.
She was the 2nd person to call me and greet me a happy birthday. She made me smile despite of the week that I had. I hope she sensed that I was smiling and happy to hear her voice.
I bought this tag years ago and found it 3 days before she passed away. I remember saying I’ll give it to her when I visit her at my parent’s house but she was gone before I could.
I decided to fasten it to my key chain.
Our beloved dog passed away on March 13, 2013. I will forever miss her. She was a blessing since the day she came into our lives. She’s irreplaceable. She’s the best sister I’ll ever have. She was the true essence of what a friend is. She was perfect in every way and made us happy every day.
My heart is broken. My whole family is grieving this loss. This pain is one of hardest thing that I have to overcome. The only comfort I have is that I’ll see her again someday and hear her bark to welcome me in heaven. I love her and I will always love her.
My parents decided to give her a proper burial and buried her in our backyard under two beautiful trees. Yesterday, we were talking about the hope that our beloved animals do go to heaven and someday reunite with their owners. And we all agreed that since white horses and a white dove was mentioned significantly in the Bible, that there must be animals in heaven. Early this morning my dad went in the backyard to visit her gravesite. He noticed that there was a white dove perched on one of the branches closed to him. This afternoon, I heard our neighbor riding one of his horses. I hardly see them pass by so I get excited seeing the horse on our street. So, I climbed up our fence to see the horse. Our neighbor was riding a white horse and his two chocolate labs were running along with them. (The young choc lab reminded me of my doggie.)
I never realized till seeing this goal on my list that she gave me the truest friendship I will ever have. A true friend was staring in my face for 12 years and I was so dumb to realize it. I will miss you and love you forever.
My whitening sessions had to be put on halt. I was sicked for the first 8 days of March. I had the flu in January but I think the virus never really left. So I got sick again and this time it was even worst. The color of my teeth was so weird looking. I don’t know if it was because I was sick or I drank too much green tea that my teeth looked green or I was so sick I was hallucinating. They were disgusting.
I’m better now so… to be continued…
First half of the month had been hectic. Since I have only two weeks left, I decided to read one-sitting books to reach this goal for this month.
1) The Summer Jenny Fell In Love – one of my Sweet Dreams series book that I have found and bought from thrifty bookstores to add to my SD library. (The SD book series were my teen years books.) I haven’t read this so I figured why not. About the book, it was cute. I probably would have raved about it to my friends if I read it during my high school years.
2) Book of Joshua
I like this verse: Ch 21: 45 – There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord has spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
I find it comforting and reassuring.
