Chinese beautiful girl I know


my first girlfriends, she is a very beautiful chinese girl, i love she, and we live tegther now,I met my girlfriend on Twitter. Our first date we stayed up half the night retweeting tweets and creating new hashtags. She blogged about me on WordPress. I started a LiveJournal. We connected on so many levels. Things between us quickly got more serious. LinkedIn. Google+. I helped her edit her resume. We debated the merits of open source programming. We once stayed up all night on Facebook, naked, liking each other from head to toe. There was nothing like spending a cozy Sunday morning curled up with a book and simultaneously posting our reviews on Goodreads.















My first time teach in China


We didn’t think we could really afford to send all the kids until January, but we wanted to get Piper started sooner (mostly because she seems like she needs something more lately than just her brothers). I took her on her first day, and she was such a good sport till we got there, and oh, the look on her face when she realized what was really happening, and watching her actually try so hard not to cry, I couldn’t bring myself to leave her there alone. I felt like I was leading a lamb to the slaughter. So I asked if she felt like she could stay if I brought the boys, and she said yes, please get them. I left her and went and got Toby (Teddy was the last to get the stomach bug that had run through our house that week), and though Toby wasn’t thrilled, Piper took his hand and they stayed the first day. They seemed happy when I collected them at noon, after the other kids were already down for their nap. They hadn’t tried the lunch, but I wasn’t going to insist on that, since it seems like everything else is so much to ask of them.

I was left with a large amount of cranberries!


045
After the Christmas celebrations I was left with a large amount of cranberries, so I decided I would do a spot of baking. I thought oats would work well and I would try and make some cookies. However although the cookies tasted great before they were cooked they weren’t so great after. Still having plenty left I decided I would have another go but try making muffins this time. I also had a lot of old bananas that I had been saving up in my freezer that needed using too. This is a great idea is you don’t like eating them once they are less than perfect just bung them in the freezer and just defrost when you next do a spot of baking. The muffins were far more successful and really very tasty. With the oats, banana, and cranberry they could even be eaten as a healthy-ish breakfast treat, better than chocolate cereal anyway!
