“Stepping out of the comfort zone whether you try someone older, younger, a different race, strong but different beliefs, or simply a different language does take a kind of courage.”
I’ve tried most of the above, does that make MiMi courageous?
Biff, believe it or not, it has now become a habit for MiMi to refer myself as MiMi’ rather than ‘I’ when MiMi talks to Art. Well, only when MiMi is in a playful mood/mode, that is
MiMi somehow gets carried away and drag this habit onto the blogs too...
Both my maternal grandparents ( didn’t know my paternal grandparents at all having met my paternal grandma only once when I was 15 ) especially my grandpa loved kids. If truth be known, he wasn’t even my biological grandpa. My grandma was estranged from her first husband, she already had two girls from the first marriage, my mom and the Muslim aunt. My grandma eventually got the divorce after much bribery, paid by her dad. My grandparents went on to have 4 kids and my grandma used to tell me ( after meals, normally ) how good of a man my grandpa was. He was just a dental apprentice with his father-in-law, earning low income but whatever little they things had, he didn’t mind spending on the wee kids.
When I gave birth to my kids, it was my grandpa that drove me to the hospital! He doted on my kids...calling me every evening to arrange the time to go over and pick him up for breakfast at the nearby coffee shop. He pays every time and when I attempted to pay, he’d shoo-ed me away!!
It wreck marriages, break families up, bring havoc to other’s life... I know all these too well. I almost lost my sanity being married to one for so many years.
Anyway, he has been completely sober for the past 3 years. I’m very happy for him, my kids and his family but sadly our marriage was already beyond repair that time and we went ahead with the divorce.
We are still good friends and he still confide in me in a lot of things. I really wish him well coz he really deserves so much more and be happy.
No confirmed plans yet, the places we’d be visiting in Spain. All I know is I’d like to spend some time at Biff’s place.
Art told me just yesterday that he’d like to visit Bilbao coz he’s reading a Dan Brown book at the moment and Guggenheim Museum is mentioned in it. I checked the map and I nearly died!
I don't eat bacon ( never had bacon in my life! ) but don't mind cooking them for my Arty... but he gotta eat them at his own risk

MiMi has found some fellow Malaysians in Omaha and its neigbouring places. They meet up occasionally at some Asian restaurant or their home where they'd have a potluck. I'm afraid my cooking is so bad that I'd be required to bring along some paper towels only
Anyway, Art did ( upon my request ) go and check out the Asian store/supermarket for MiMi before he submitted the application for MiMi's US fiance visa!
"Mimi, that's easier than shooting fish in a barrel"
"Mimi used cataracts to snare Art." Can't use that no more!
RE: What is something that women do that men hate the most?
Hi JhenKeep bringing/digging up the past?
Art honey, I know you’d agree 100% with my above statement
