Rude Telemarketers

I usually screen calls because eventhough I signed up for no call list, I still get calls from those companies with which I do business, such as the phone, insurance, car,etc. This morning, I was expecting a call from my aunt in California. Her phone number is set for private that whenever she calls, my caller ID says out of area. When the phone rang and the caller ID said "out of area" I answered it thinking it was my aunt. The woman on the other line said, "I am calling to notify you that your car warranty will soon expire...." Great! I thought, this would take time. So I politely interrupted her and said that I was sorry because I didn't have time. And what did she say? She snapped at me saying, "Well don't answer your phone if you don't have the time." Then hung up on me. Gee, I wonder how she got into that business with that kind of attitude. First of all, she didn't identify herself and which company she was working for, and second she was rude. Well, good luck to her, there are more people who I'm sure don't have the time to talk to her and don't appreciate having their mornings disrupted. I know it's a source of income for some people, but telemarketing really annoys me, especially when the telemarketer is rude like the one I encountered a few minutes ago.

I don't like this girl. But the shoes. I love the shoes. Who made them? I want those shoes. Noooo, I must have those shoes!!!

Train Our Love

Train our love
that it may grow
slowly...deeply...steadily;
till our hearts will overflow
unrestrained and readily.

Discipline it too,
dear God;
strength of steel
throughout the whole.
Teach us patience,
thoughtfulness,
tenderness and
self-control.

Deepen it
throughout the years,
age and mellow it
until,
time that finds us
old without,
within,
will find us
lovers still.

Oceanaire in Indianapolis

To celebrate our one week of being married(hehehe, yes, that was a milestone,) Vince took me to Oceanaire. We've been wanting to try this restaurant since we heard Virgil and Bob, our friends, raved about the crabcake. We were in San Diego the whole week of Indy Restaurant Week, so we were only able to catch the last night. To try what restaurant week menu had to offer, I chose the East Meets West Oysters, Alaskan Wild King Salmon, and Strawberry shortcake for dessert. Vince chose something from the regular menu, I don't remember what, and Vince doesn't either... must not be so good that we both forgot about it. Anyway, I enjoyed the dinner, not just because of the food, but also because it was our first "date" as a married couple. I hope we don't forget or neglect to have dates like this even after we have kids.

Bummed

I am distraught and distressed. Vince and I didn't have a formal picture with my brother and my sister-in-law. We gave them a nice picture frame as thank you gift, engraved with our names, thinking that we will give them a nice picture of us all together. Looks like that was one of the pictures that were missed. It's partly my fault. Our photographers asked us for must-take list and I remember putting, S___ family instead of specifying Arnold and Loren. They put all my families together in one portrait, when I wanted it to be separate for each of my cousins' and aunts' families. During the wedding, I was so excited and nervous that I forgot and didn't realize until Vince and I were viewing the images. It may be just one picture, but it means a lot to me to have a picture of us. It's like not having pictures taken with my parents, because my brother and my sister-in-law are like my parents. They shouldered as much burden as my parents would have had if my parents were alive. There's nothing we can do, now. But I wish I could turn back the time.
