Hi, how are you all? The weather seems wonderful outside the window.
The sun is shining brightly.
Early this morning, my son went out to see his friend,
and my husband is watching a TV program "One Night Two Days".
He is loudly laughing by himself. It`s quite funny to see someone laughing by himself or herself while watching TV, isn't it?
Zzang-Ah has been lying down for a long time under my desk,
and Betty is sitting down on my husband`s lap.
Now what about my entry today?
I will try to write once in Chinese from my English entry one year ago.

Please read and let me know more natural expressions.
