THE NEW YEAR 2010

HAPPY (belated) NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

The movie was awesome! Booboo enjoyed it a lot. He can't wait for the DVD.

For NYE we didn't do anything. Too old to be going out and drinking. I haven't gone out in years and honestly I don't drink so there's no point of drinking on NYE. We had a very quiet night at home. Just me and booboo. Hubby is out with his buddies playing pool at VaYee's house (the usual).

We went to IKEA today and it was a mad ZOO!! So many people like there's a HUGE sale going on but I didn't see much of a sale any where. I got a few things for booboo. Mostly was there for the food, the LOX (marinated salmon with salad) and swedish meatballs - yummy! The great thing was that kid's ate for free!!!!! While we were there we met Pai's (Luav) family. Her boys were cute as always and very talkative and fluent in Hmong. The first thing they asked was, "Nej tuaj ab tsi nov thiab nab?". That means, "What are you guys doing here too?" hahaha We did the usual - hugs and kisses. As we were shopping, we saw Luav again but this time his facial expression said a lot. He was very worried. He asked if we had seen his middle child (son) and we said no. He said that his son had wandered off and they are looking for him. I started to worry too because there's soooo many people there. Wondering how are they'er going to find that child. So booboo and I helped them look. OMG, my heart started beating fast. I can only imagine if that was my child, I would be scared and worried and mad at the same time. While looking I got a voice mail from Pai that she found her son out by the entrance waiting area. OMG!! I was happy knowing that she had found him. I guessed Luav doesn't know this yet because he was still looking when we crossed paths again. I quickly told him that Pai had found him out in the entrance waiting area and you can definitely see relieved on his face. We saw their family again at the check out stands. The lost child was crying to me and telling me that he got lost and went out to wait for his parents in the waiting area. Thank GOD no one took him. I'm so afraid of the child abductor thing! My heart and world would be shattered if something like that was to happen to my child. I don't even want to think about it. Anyway, just glad that he's ok. What a crazy moment!!

Then headed over to ROSS and bought a few things - table cloth and mats. And I saw a "Leg Magic Exerciser" for $23 and bought it!!! Wow that's a deal. Last year one of my coworker was going to sell hers for $60! I haven't used it yet. I am excited to use it tomorrow. I'll post about it later.

Came home, changed and headed to play volleyball at the rec center. It was fun as always and quite a work out, too. I can not stress how much I enjoy playing volleyball.
