Phil's visit Part 1 - Our first Visitor!

Yeah yeah stop your whining - I'm writing another blog, okay. I took a mental week off and its only been 5 days. :)

We had our first official visitor to Shanghai this past weekend. Our friend Phil! This is the man that let us crash at his place in Austin for almost a MONTH with the weiner dogs. This man put up with my shit and stress of relocating to a different country *and* my dogs. You all know my dogs - okay - well most of you do - they're spoiled! Lets put it this way, we owed Phil big time.

Phil came into town late Wednesday for business and so I got mad props for making him look good with his colleagues by sending them to a fancy chinese restuarant! 3 months here and I"m good! That's okay, Phil repayed me by letting me give him about 10,000 hugs this weekend. Will had already surpassed his 1 million hug limit and I needed a lot of hugs last week - hey I think I would have hugged Dr Nix if he was in town...well, let me think about that some more - it *is* 3am for me - yeah I don't know why I am up at this hour.

So by Friday, Phil was done with work duties and I got to be Julie McCoy, cruise director. I thought I would give him a little snippet of the Tai Tai lifestyle - you know - say it with me - sleep in late, a lite workout, then a lite tai tai lunch, shopping and a massage, dinner prepared by Ayi or dinner out. Stay tuned.....
