Slacker

I have been reminded by several people (you know who you are) that I haven't updated the blog in awhile.....my apologies. I will try to be less of a slacker.

Paige and I have been trying to keep busy during the week. I've signed her up for a gym class at My Gym (the same place she went in Chicago) and attend class Tuesday mornings. We also have a temporary membership to the American Club, where she participates in a swim class on Wednesdays. We try to visit Mark for lunch once a week at the office and arrange play dates with our friends from Chicago. The rest of the time we are either swimming or going for walks.

Saturday the three of us ventured out to Chinatown (we forgot our camera so no pictures this time). As expected, the streets were lined with vendors and little shops selling anything from Chinese herbs, clothes, electronics and silks. I had lots of fun as the prices were reasonable compared to the rest of Singapore and bargining was welcomed. Mark and Paige headed home early, as Paige wasn't in a shopping mood. I came home with several household trinkets including a pair of Hello Kitty chops sticks and a pair of slippers for Paige, which she so proudly modeled.

Saturday night, Mark and I decided to have a date night. We arranged for a babysitter through the place we are staying. It turns out the housekeepers moonlight as sitters. I was a bit skeptical at first, but everything was fine. We put Paige to bed at 7pm and the sitter came at 7:30pm. I'm sure we will do this again. Unfortunately our dinner was cut short (no dessert) because Mark suddenly had stomach issues. We hurried home and needless to say, he spent the rest of the night not feeling too great. We think it might have been food poisoning, but not sure where he got it from.

Father's Day we ate lunch by the pool at the American Club and then went swimming. Later in the day, we met some friends from Chicago for dinner at Brewerkz Brewery.

After all the recapping of our week, I think I've learned my lesson and will post more often.
