Going on 31 and 27

The food tonight was awesome as expected. It’s so much fun to order Thai food with the family. You can order to your heart’s content without feeling like there’s going to be too much food. We had the works: chicken AND pork satay, catfish, curry, beef that translates to “crying tiger”, drunken noodles, fried fish cakes, and of course peanut sauce. We also got a nice surprise with the classic birthday cake from Honey Bakery. I had a fun time hanging out with the family and it was a nice way to spend my birthday eve. I also got a kick out of seeing my little brother open his gift. I’ll help you tape up the Holga on the plane, Brother. It should be fun to play with in New York!

Make a wish!

This week, the Brother and I will be celebrating our birthday with a family dinner on Wednesday and then a quick trip to New York City for the weekend. I already got some restaurant recommendations from Holly and Roy. Thanks guys! I can’t wait to try them!

Ahoy mateys! It be “Talk Like a Pirate Day!” So git yer scurvy arses up an’ steal some booty!

OK…that’s enough pirate talk for me. I just gotta say that I feel like a new woman. I woke up without a headache – not even a tingle. Thank heavens cuz I had an 8:15 client this morning that sucked all the energey out of me.

birthdays are yummy

When September rolls around, I get to eat lots of good food. It’s because both Jes and I have our birthdays in Setember along with the brother and several other friends. You just GOTTA at least have dinner if not a party. And with dinner comes birthday cake or dessert. Well, Jes’ birthday was on Wednesday and we’ve already had a really good steak with a Sinful Chocolate Cake (above) AND a Chinese dinner with cake from Goldilocks. It’s just too bad that I have a bridesmaid dress to fit into next Saturday. It fits now but we’ll see if it allows me to breathe next week.

In other news, Jes is on a cruise for Bang’s Bachelor Disaster. It sounds like a hoot with 15 guys on a boat with lots of buffet food and drinks. I even heard that they picked up a sailor suit for Bang to wear on the boat. It’s going to be awesome…and disasterous. Good luck, Bang. I hope you don’t get saran wrapped to a pole this weekend.

It’s time to archive.


October 1990

My Labor Day Weekend was very relaxing

  • On Saturday, I went with Patty to the wedding gown shop to learn how to bustle her dress for the wedding.
  • On Sunday, I had a little BBQ with the husband in our patio.
  • Today, we went to To’s 30th Birthday Party at Liberty Park in the afternoon and then had some home cookin’ with the parents in the evening.

While I was home, I searched for my old photo albums. I came upon albums starting from 8th grade all the way up to sophomore year of college. Jackpot! Unfortunately, the albums were falling apart and they take up a lot of space. So, I decided to start an archive. I’m going to pull them all out, scan my favorites into my computer, and then store all the photos in neatly organized boxes. It’s time to toss those albums! I also found some old negatives that I’m going to file away with the photos. This is truly when I appreciate the Digital Age. I just need to make sure everything is backed up at least 3 times just in case my admin decides to kill one of our hard drives again.
