uh-mar-uh

Growing up Asian, you learn quickly how to translate your family's English. As Godmother2Amara reminds me, our relatives' accent tends to be a tad bit...strong at times. I guess my uncle combines Amara's name with her cousin's name and pronounces it uh-my-yah rather than my preferred pronounciation of uh-mar-uh.

So it didn't take long for me to figure out that Christine at Happy Slip is a fellow Filipina.

today's good: Where do I start? I think I have solved my child care crisis. Hooray! Once I get confirmation, I'll share the dirty details! But on another note, I had the pleasure of interviewing Stephanie Pearl McPhee. I know it sounds so soccer mom-ish for me to say, but she has really renewed my interest in knitting. So in my free time (or if one of you ladies come up with a formula to give us that 25th hour in each day), I think I'm heading for a yarn shop!

today's bad: I didn't run again. And until child care is settled, my schedule is complete helter skelter. And I didn't get to scrub the hardwoods this weekend. Looks like it's gonna be a long week ahead.
