Charmin-Ultra: Don't Squeeze Me

今天早上跟我妹妹談到了 lucky 不 lucky 這件事，我妹心軟的說，對於生活比較她不 lucky 的人，我妹會比較包容。所以行為上比較自私，自我，都是可以原諒的。

我很不以為然。撇開行為自私或自我這一點，（因為我是贊成人是要自私的）對於 lucky 或不 lucky 的定義，解釋，我有另ㄧ番看法。 

最近很早起床，所以有一些時間來作自己的事。

今早送走老公後，（ 這是不常發生的事，因為他常常出門時我還在睡) 我把廚房整理了一下，遛了狗，就上網看看一些文章，讀到李太太的一天，心想，可以專心照顧家庭真好，不必趕著上班，不必趕著接小孩，可以好好的計畫家庭活動，享受生活！

想說學期結束了，小孩也不在，可已是好好休息的時候了，可是為何還是很忙？壓力很大？我是不是沒事找事做，天生勞碌命啊！

最近不知為何迷上了交朋友。並不是我anti-social 而是我可能近幾年自己打拼，獨來獨往習慣了，加上之前單親媽媽，ㄧ面讀書，又要工作。忙到沒時間去經營友情。漸漸的對於中國式或是台灣式，很親近的交友方式很是不習慣。

因為兔寶寶的即將到來，又因為Kai 的關係認識了一些有小寶寶的台灣朋友，開始覺得，是應該擴展自己的交友圈了。

這個禮拜因為工作，還有我上課的關係，我無法兼顧接送愷仁上鋼琴課。所以很快的在上班時間，用email 很快的跟 Pete 交代了接下來連續三天的行程。最後才問了老公今天過的怎樣，晚上要吃什麼。他說，今天好忙，晚上只想隨便吃吃，還說今天是想喝一杯小酒的一天。

我聽了就知道他今天一定又有無盡的會議，大小問題要處理。他自從接手新部門後，一直有需要重新整頓工作流程的問題，管的人又比以前多很多，加上他的上司 CFO 最近辭職，他需要分擔的工作又更多了。

犀利人妻熱熱鬧鬧紛紛擾擾的落幕了。戲中人妻對於傷害她至深的丈夫，而後想要回頭的前夫的反應引起了社會大眾的熱烈討論。

如果你是那位人妻，你會如何對待這樣傷害你的最親愛的人呢？

這件事情上梧桐妹應該是最受傷害的吧。看著自己心愛的爸媽左右各扯著ㄧ邊要她做一生最難的抉擇。說實在的她的父母真的是為她想嗎？真是的話就應該好好談。我並不是說風涼話，我自己也是經歷過離婚，討論監護權，在這過程中我也覺得並不是每件事都是公平的。但是為了孩子，我和我前夫各退一步，儘量不口出惡言。因為我們所作的一切小孩都看在眼裡。

We are almost done unpacking for our house except for our books. Pete and I together have collected boxes and boxes of books. Many books have been moved from one house to another house over years. There were even boxes which contained my books shipped from Thailand. I looked around the house and realized that we don't have enough space for them. I started to go through them and thought I would pick ones to keep and some to give. It was a difficult and long process. It was not only time-consuming but also emtional. I smiled at the books that brought me sweet memories, and wiped away the dust from the books that reminded me of the lonely nights in Thailand. In the end, I finally decided to keep most of them, and Pete resecued some of 'give-away' books.

I have been having an inner conversation with myself about books. While my friends are getting Kindle or IPad, I still cling to books and library (bricks and paper library but digital library). I just cannot let go of that physical touch and the ink smell from books. Maybe that was from my childhood when living and breathing books in my mom's bookstore. Since little, I helped my mom signing off the books that we received everyday; checked them in, sorted them and put them on the shelves where they belong. I liked to just look at my work and admired how those books were written. 

我從來沒去過冰宮溜冰，是因為小阿姨曾告訴我，有次他去溜冰，看到一個女生重心不穩摔倒在冰上，剛好湊巧有一列溜接龍的人們從旁而來，硬生生從這女孩伸出的手滑切過去。帶這列接龍溜過之後，冰上只剩四根手指。

我游泳下水前一定不喝汽水，而在學跳水時，我也很小心的不讓肚子直接啪的一下倒到水面。這是因為小舅舅說他同學喝完汽水跳進水裡，由於肚子充滿了氣體，在極大的衝擊下，他的肚子竟然爆開了！！！

Check out the Art Institute of Chicago

November 9, 2009 I became the U.S. citizen.

Sears Tower was remaned Willils Tower in 2009. To us loyal Chicagoian (or you can call us stuborn or ideologists), it was a big blow; same as when Marshall Fields became Marcy's, which resulted many 'Old' Chicagoian boycotted Macy's and never shopped there since.

To me, Sears Tower is the same way. The Tower was constructed in 1974; named after Sears, Roebuck, and Co., a chain department stores. In 1993, the company sold the Tower and moved to the suburb, Hoffman Estates. 

In high school, the motivation for us for study hard for the university entrance exam was the belief that we would get to go to the dance parties and the boys would come to ask for the first dance.
