這兩三個禮拜不知道怎麼搞的，一直跟小潔吵架嘔氣，整個人有夠不舒服的。終於在昨天兩個人談談話，僵持的氣氛才鬆懈下來。我在想，這幾個禮拜我整個人的心思都在工作上的一個企劃，真的冷落的她們母女倆。現在要好好的補償回來。
話說我們開始注意我們的生活開銷。一個月前，我們決定要好好控制週末出去外面吃飯的花費，一個週末要維持在六十美元以內。這樣努力了一個月，我們真的作到了。可是也發覺，存錢真的很難，我們才在高興花費控制下來了，結果車子要修理，馬上花了五百多元，然後看看醫生，照了斷層掃描，也花了五百多元。天啊，錢怎麼這麼好花啊。於是就在上個禮拜，我很不爽自己設定的預算，跟小潔講，今天我們不要管預算了，我想吃什麼叫吃什麼。於是，一餐就把整個週末的預算給吃掉了。雖然好吃，我覺得我們還是要繼續練習量入為出才行。
上週末去南邊參觀台灣台糖在北加州的蘭花園，一年一次的開放，我們剛好有讀到消息。來看看花吧。
I was wondering why there were no new posts on your blog. Women need attention even when you are tired. Ha.
Yeah, keeping your weekend spend on food under $60 for your family is hard. The other night I went to some random Italian restaurant (wasnt even that “upscale” and ordered the seafood pasta special. The bill came and I saw the price on the pasta alone–$30. Ouch.
Do you use Quicken or similar apps to keep track of your spend? My $$$ is mostly spent on food and gadgets. No suprise there.

Dave, you know what I am talking about. It’s crazy how one’s mind is completely occupy by work stuff. Mostly because I am learning this new fascinating programming language, yes I know, that sounds really geeky. I meant, programming language is better over speaking to wife? But that’s what happened for the past few weeks.
How’s your site coming alone? Two nights ago, I want to add a functionality to my main page so clicking on the picture would actually bring up a popup window with the larger size pics from flickr. After frigging two hours of fiddling, instead of solve my original problem, I now have new version of wordpress which is awesome as well as kick ass album support. Everything works except I didn’t figure out my original problem. HAHA, anyway, check it out these albums,

I know, sometimes im tired and i just want to eat and watch tv..my gf says..why dont you talk to me?
Nah, not geeky at all. I have a big CSS book but i never opened it. Brownie points for myself for having the ambition at least.
Why do I see a white box with a red X on the minimize button? Missing the minimize icon?
As for my website, I added a few more pics and background, combined the two portrait galleries into one and removed some pics that didnt make the “cut.” My next project is to include an online proof section and a blog, too.
I havent had time to edit the pic of the little boy but now every time i look at the pic i see the bright green dot and wire in the back like you pointed out. haha.
After some additional research, I decided to focus on kids instead of wedding and pets since there are so many rich mothers on Upper East Side in Manhattan who can afford how much I want to charge. Also, kids are generally easy to photograph because of their natural smiles.
Oh and of course there’s the new lens purchase..hehe..got myself a 70-200 f2.8 VR and a 2nd SB800 speedlight.
Man, that telephoto nikon lens can’t be cheap…
