Our Love Story Begins Today

I failed during Lent to give up being fat and lazy. Now that Jesus is back, I’m gonna try to get back into it. I’m gonna need your help.  We can do better. 

You never empty deez nutz during the day. It doesn’t always have to be at night. Aside from that, it’s good that you are listening and talking about being better. The next step is to put it into action. Although you’re more concerned about intentions so maybe listening and talking about it is enough 😂. Thanks for letting me swim tonight. Hopefully we leave the Rosauros on time. It’s a 40 minute drive. Might have you drop me off. TTQD!!

How good will it be? Only time will tell. It is the last Friday to not eat meat until next year. I think I really failed at Lent this year. I’m still trying to get over having milestone days to start or stop something, but old habits die hard. So I’m gonna try to make Jesus return my return as well. Wish me luck. I have 2 more days to suck. I’ll start on April 1 and it’s not a joke. ATEN!!!

I’m gonna challenge myself April 1 to get my life together. Can’t wait for anyone to challenge me, since no one did. Since Jesus is coming back, I guess I should come back too. Back to health, happiness, and hope. Be on the lookout and stop making me eat your food 😂. ATEN!!!

I got played. I bought an empty box. I honestly don’t recall seeing “empty box”, but it’s there. Just a reminder that the devil is into details and the devil got me on this one.   I hope I learn from this and I hope you can too. Also should have checked their return policies. Clearly they don’t allow it. Wonder how many people got played. Also wonder if the seller did this intentionally. $20 seems like a lot for a box. TLG!!!

I might have to drop off Vinh a little earlier like I did this Monday depending on tee time if I golf. I try to work non stop when I’m in the office so that I can make the day go faster. Peter keeps coming into my office and bothering me. It’s ironic because he’s the one giving me more work and wasting my time. We ended up going to buy lottery. I won’t have time for Costco return today. I ended up buying food for a homeless person because of Peter. Maybe it’ll be good luck. This lady in front of me at Hobby Lobby is sooooo slow. TLG!!!

Maybe let’s start with one thing thing. Let’s try to be courteous of everyone’s time. God, mine, Vinh’s, etc. Let’s work on not rushing to get places or being late.  Feeling rushed and being late is getting old. After we get a grip on this, maybe we can work on memory. 🙏.

At the cemetery you mentioned that you overthink because of me? What are you overthinking? How can I help? I hope you have a good time with Faith and Vinh. I appreciate that you try to take Faith out, but I want you to know you don’t have to. Especially if it causes you stress. One thing I did want to remind you is about the conversation we had about you not wanting my help because you were trying to prove me wrong. You regretted that. So I hope that’s not your mentality in the future. Unless the results are different…

I’m in line at the famous lucky deli in Land Park. Someone just won a million dollars here a week ago. Today as I’m approaching the 18th green I saw a birdie sitting on top of the 100 yard marker. 3 of us ended up birdieing this hole. I’m hoping for the same luck with the lottery today. Sorry you have to poop. I’m headed home soon. ATYGN!!

Syracuse feels so long ago, but I’m only now catching up with work work. It’s been a lot easier to keep up with home work, but that’s always behind as it’s never ending. Sometimes I wonder if I need to keep busy to stay alive. Maybe when I don’t have anything to do, God might say it’s time for me to go. Now that Vinh is here, I probably will have a lot to do for a while. Uyen and Vinh list are infinite. WWW…

I used to think I made good money, but then I see how much other people who don’t really work or aren’t super smart make and I was thinking they make too much or I don’t make enough. I do have to admit that my job does a pretty good job of making non-monetary attempts of making work fun and enjoyable. Today we had a mini party for the start of March Madness. Have to remember this every time I think about what’s her name. TLG!!!

There’s a scene in Rocky where he says he is with his girl because they’re like two slices of Swiss cheese. They have holes, but together, they don’t have holes.  I thought it was a really good analogy. Anyhow, I don’t mind covering your holes, but if you could work on not creating more holes, that would be great. ATEN!!!

I don’t know if what I was doing today can be considered fun, but time sure flew by today. I’m about to go pick up Vinh from daycare. I got some things done today, so it’s probably good I didn’t golf. I wouldn’t have been able to do anything. This watch is thicker than I expected. I wonder if it’s because of the mechanical movements or if it’s because it’s not fancy. Other than that and not sure how to change the months, it’s pretty cool. But probably too cheap to invest in having someone correct the month if I can’t figure it out. TLG!!

You said you regret me coming after we got into a discussion early on this trip. It got me thinking about 2 things. One, do you regret saying you regret me coming? You once told me you don’t have any regrets in life which I thought was an odd thing, but it’s not worth arguing about so I didn’t push it. Two, given your mom is still at nursing facility. If you ended up going without me (I don’t think you would have or could have handled Vinh without me), although it would have been a shorter trip, I’m not sure what you would have done. Anyhow. That was just my thought. I know you don’t like to admit when your wrong or “regret” things.

May the luck of the Irish smile upon us. It’s not Easter, but it’s lucky that the Easter Bunny showed up. It’s unfortunate that Vinh did not want a picture with him/her. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket from NY today. What’s the worst that could happen? I lose? 😂. We could move everyone to California.

I think I got a good analogy for my feelings that you can understand. You know how you feel when Vinh hits or pulls your hair or does anything “bad” after you’ve told him not to? And hitting or yelling at him doesn’t work and you don’t know what to do? I think that’s a good way to express how I feel when we have issues. I used to joke about having 2 kids, but maybe it’s not a joke after all. Like with Vinh, I don’t know what to do. I don’t know if you understand or care or have the ability. I don’t feel like I’m asking too much. 🤷‍♂️ 

Now probably isn’t the right time to blog, but it’s what’s currently happening. It’s super frustrating to see you comment on how you believe in God, marriage and all these things, but when it comes to us, that all goes out the window.  There are so many examples, but I try to forget them because it’s too much work to hang onto the baggage, but it happens daily. What do you expect from marriage and our relationship? What are you doing to contribute to it? What does God say marriages are about? Are you holding up your end of the agreement? You listen to other people advice, but what about people who believe things you don’t agree with? I just feel it’s so selective. Anyhow, I’m sorry you regret me coming. It was not my intention to make things difficult. But I think you should also take some responsibility for your actions. It’s not only about my reaction. Your passive aggressive and unhelpful comments don’t help either. How about we work on preventions instead of solutions?

I don’t know what to do. Sometimes I give you suggestions and you disregard them. Then you ask my opinion for unimportant things. It just seems counterintuitive to me. It’s also frustrating because when I give you advice it’s relevant things and when you ask for advice, there isn’t really a wrong answer. If you’re asking me what I would do, that’s different.  Should I only provide input when asked? It just feels like a slap in the face sometimes and no one wants to be slapped in the face generally. TLG!!!

But I’m hoping for a good trip. I’m working on being more patient, but sometimes the time crunches and odd questions can be frustrating. I hope you understand I’m trying. Anyhow, hoping you actually carry Vinh on this longer flight and he sleeps. Otherwise it’s gonna be rough for him (and everyone else). TLG!!!

You don’t get their daily emails about living life? Today’s got me thinking about you: I’ve mentioned it before, but now it’s coming from someone else (a woman too). It’s important to vent, but you also need to make sure you’re sharing the right info with the right people. Just some food for thought. Food for thought used to be a regular part of my day in school. The more you know…TTQD!!

Someone is tired because of daylight savings. I’m playing you the smallest violin 🎻. Sucks to be you. I’m tired because of a lot of things, but they’re real. Daylight savings is like jet lag. Fake news. It’s just too bad that your body is so weak sauce. Let’s hope Vinh doesn’t inherent the weakness. #vinhstrong

Thanks for putting the together the dinner for my parents. It seems like everything went okay except Vinh’s timeout. It was early, so I’m eating some cheerios before I sleep. Cool, that’s all I got to say about that. Good night. Sleep well. ✌️ 

Guess who is pooping at Starbucks? You are. Woohoo. This messes up my peeing timeline. I planned to have enough time to pee when I got there. I feel kinda light headed. I wonder if it’s the car scent. You look better than me. But that’s normal I think. Hope that makes you feel better. Hope you have a good time tonight. I hope I do too. And Minh and Vinh and Art too. TTQD!!!

I saw this as untitled and thought I forgot to post yesterday. I hope to have another thousand and more post for you, but one thing I do have to ask from you is to work on the passive aggressive behavior and time management.  I really hope it’s just me that gets annoyed with this. Maybe you can nonchalantly asked others? I’m gonna work on my response, but you made a lot of passive aggressive comments this morning. I know you don’t intentionally do it, but I don’t know what else to do about it. Sorry. TLG!!!

You ever think how lucky you are to have me? Are you still wanting a divorce?  Well, as we enter 1000 entries of this chapter in our love story, I hope you’re happier than you ever imagined you’d be. 🙏 ❤️ 

I was reading an email from the Walk To Remember people. It talked about God’s Plan. Sometimes we make our own plans and they don’t work out. When that happens maybe it wasn’t God’s Plan.  Anyhow, it got me thinking. What if God’s Plan for you was for you not to get married and have kids, but you forced it on me? How would you feel? FFT…

You probably know that your passive aggressive approach to me reading to the kids at daycare was not appreciated. I don’t know if you do it intentionally or if it bothers anyone else. Hopefully it’s just me. I’m sorry I didn’t ignore it at the moment and respond later.  Found a random taco truck on my way to business Costco. It wasn’t bad and only $7.50. Not sure if $1/tacos still exists anywhere. WWW.

Last night as I was trying to get Vinh to fall asleep, I found myself without a phone and nothing to do besides sit with my thoughts. There wasn’t anything I could do with Vinh. I guess you could argue that I could have enjoyed the moment, but for me, there wasn’t anything to enjoy. I need to find something to do when I don’t have my phone. I didn’t have anything I could plan or think about. It was a very long hour…TLG!!!

Maybe your quality of sleep is bad. You should see if you can do a sleep study like my mom. I think you sleep a lot compared to me. Almost as much as Vinh, but you’re always tired.  I just worry about you. Anyhow, hope you guys slept well. I got a short nap in as well, but I woke up so I could blog and make the house smell better. I couldn’t see him on the camera so I had to check. You woke up, but pretended to be asleep. 🤦‍♂️ 

I guess it was also Friends Friday too. Quality over quantity definitely matters when it comes to friends and I think we got high end friends for the most part.  But let’s not forget that the friendship also relies on us being good friends as well. I think we do a pretty good job of being good people too. But it’s not something we can be content with. We should always strive to be good so that the fruits of our labor will be delicious. TLT!!!

I hope you enjoyed the food today. I didn’t get enough crab in mine, but it was good. I’m surprised I enjoyed the squid. I’m currently winning, but the night is young. At least we got our money’s worth from food and snacks 😂.  Ngu ngon em. ATEN!!!
