Mommy Moments is where Moms muse about motherhood and show off their kids. Joys, worries, disappointments, hopes, challenges and successes are shared. Chris hosts this meme every Friday at The Mommy Journey . Goals. What are those?... Seriously that crossed my mind. For the life of me I am probably too benign with goals. If I didn't accomplish one, I could get so hard on myself. But goals. I play them by ear and you can bet your apron strings this will be simpler than putting on lipstick in the steering wheel while the light flashes red. * Home school or something else In May this year, CJ's developmental pediatrician suggested normal schooling. I had that followed. But my learner forms his own ideas of how he acquires education. I need to sort this out. * Budget Gone are the days of sitting pretty knowing money is not an issue. Four years have flown by since I signed those divorce papers and CJ got wiped out of his Dad's bank account. There's my appetite for travel

I usually try not to begin my very first sentence with I. In blogging. The title of this post is borrowed. Now isn't that desultory? Today I ramble. 1. Burlesque is coming up on the big screen. A genius integrated my idol into the trailer. 2. I frequent this cafe in front of my workplace because of its English magazines. Beside my iced mocha, a recent Reader's Digest issue features the best universities in Asia (University of Hong Kong is top) and quotes the Microsoft chairman, "Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose." 3. "We are two of a kind, Hazel - ying and yang, but beautifully blended into one," wrote someone to me an hour ago. 4. Youtube user Niva20011 commented on a Khmer Rouge clip, "can you smoke (Pol) Pot?" 5. You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one . Yoko Ono's husband's voice plays in my head when I remembered that I have forgotten to review The Killing Fields .

Chris hosts this meme every Friday at The Mommy Journey . With the way things are going for me I know I will not be celebrating Christmas normally . This year though I got a wonderful surprise. People at home did something they rarely do and I was ecstatic! Cj did not face the camera long enough but it was okay. A boy's got to go play I know, I know :) "I am eating mani (peanut)," Cj stressed when I asked him what was he doing. He swayed his glossy hair muttering quietly 'Mommy, Mommy...' before he went out of the bedroom to play with cousins. My mother then took over the keyboard. Blimey! my 69-year old mother finally chatting with me online? Do I really get a rest now from expensive overseas calls? I hope Cj's computer gets a rest too from the dust or cobweb. Technology does a perfect job of bringing us c

December is when Thailand almost does not look like a Buddhist country especially in commercial areas. You just have to go out and see how business works with a Christian tradition. This is a tree inside Central Mall, Bangna Sky rail tracks on the right and Siam Paragon on the left. Christmas arches in the middle are abuzz with picture-taking. Inside Siam Paragon . That star rubs shoulders with Emporio Armani. All ready for the Countdown . Merry Christmas from Bangkok!

What is your favorite holiday show/animated show? I know there are so many out there, but my life is riddled with work right now. It also is no help that this country I am in does not recognize Christmas except for commercial purposes. 2. What holiday character do you think you're most like? - pass- 3. What holiday character does your spouse think yo

Mai sai prik na ka , (no chili, please) is what I always say when I buy a short-order meal. Sometimes the instruction is followed; sometimes I just have to sip ice cold Coke all the way. Chili is major in Thailand. Where fruit chunks are what you normally see on your blender, it is chili here. You have to watch what you sniff or look at if you pass by street food cooking or you sneeze and tear up as some aroma finds its way to your eyes and nostrils. Biting red and dry, these quiet chilis are practically harmless... until they are stir frying in the wok. What could be next... Ingredients beyond what makes up ketchup or mustard are on display too. It is early Sunday market in Saraburi. This tent finally sets me in the mood for commerce. My World Tuesday is brought to you by Klaus and the My World Team Sandy , Wren , Fishing Guy , Sylvia
