Yes! I did Karaoke yesterday! It was horrible! The words didn't match the music, I can't sing, I haven't heard the song in ages and I was reading the words. Sun got a 30 sec clip of it, unfortunately. I will try and post it on Photobucket...or not, I haven't decided if I should make this available to people who actually know me. Luckily the audience was small. Come to find out, they judge you and if you make the top 10 or 13 you have to perform again next week...ugh! I told Sun this was a one time thing and if I am in the top 10 it's got to be just because I'm American which is ridiculous! There were some very impressive singers yesterday, I was amazed! People really take this seriously!
Not much new to report. I stayed with a colleague and her family the other night, they were so kind! Beautiful home! It was like a three-story Condo. Marble flooring and beautiful wood furniture in the living room. We had yummy dumplings!! I love those things. They are similar to those Potstickers you can get at Costco. For breakfast we had noodles and some egg, tomato, lettuce type sauce. It was delightful as well. The dumplings are a traditional meal to celebrate the holiday on Tuesday. It was the God of Wealth's birthday and he was returning to heaven to report about how everyone is working. ALL day they set off firecrackers and burn paper money so that they may gain more wealth and prosperity. The firecrackers were going off nonstop until about midnight.
Today I am getting my plumbing fixed in my apartment. There is some blockage somewhere, possibly the main pipe. They will fix it this afternoon, but until then both of my toilets are Out of Order. Fortunately, I work at a university and there are several buildings around with toilets in them. It looks like it may be another few weeks until we move into our apartments. I'm fine where I'm at, but poor Bob is at a hotel and he's going crazy!
Still no schedule! Hopefully by Saturday! It looks like I won't be able to go to church again on Sunday (pray for me :), the trains are packed with college students returning. It's too bad you can't take the sacrament by proxy...
Lots of love!

Bravo Kyla,
I thoroughly enjoyed the singing! You will make it in the top ten if not for you singing, for the curly hair! Glad to hear everything is going well!
Love ya,
Caitlin
With that singing we are so thankful that our hearts didn't stop! Ha! Ha! The clip was actually quite enjoyable eventhough I couldn't understand the words! Love you! Kathy
