Eek, a mouse!!

I saw a black mouse scurry into a corner two nights ago in my garage. Then as I took Koa out for his evening outing, I saw another one in the courtyard! I know Koa could probably catch it but I don’ t know if I’d want to clean up the mess.

Here, have some germs!

I was sick as a dog over the weekend. I tried to go to work on Friday but had to go home by 10:00 am. It was fun passing my germies to those who came in contact with me those 2 hours though. Haha. Anyway, I stayed home most of the weekend, ate a lot of chicken soup, and watched “Mean Girls”. I also went to Home Depot to buy new plants/flowers for the patio to replace the ones that Koa dug up the other day…what an exciting life I lead. Jes and I took Koa to the dog park and bumped into Gavin and his dog, Maizie. We also met another “Koa”…he was an American Eskimo. Jes didn’t have to fly out until Monday morning so we had a little BBQ with Jay and Nikki just like old times. I sure miss those days. Watched the first game of the World Series and had fish tacos…yum.

All in!

I was sick on Friday but worked from home. Crazy heart medicine is making me lightheaded again. I also learned how to play poker as I wrote my reports. Haha. On Saturday, we had the family over for a BBQ and Texas Hold’em. Pish and Deb brought their tabletop and we opened our poker chip set from Costco. I got kicked out of the game early but Jes won the pot! Sweet. We also had our first rain of the season on Sunday. The wormies came out again and Koa looked confused.

Gotcha!

I took Koa to the dog park today…he had a good time chasing a bunch of “Santa’s Little Helpers” and wrestling with an Australian Shepherd. I thought that he’d enjoy being in the “large dog” yard but once we got in there, he turned into a loner. Hm…I guess he really is a small dog. At home, he caught his first fly in mid-air today…it was amazing. Oh yeah…my mom has agreed to make mango and sticky rice for Saturday’s BBQ. Sweet.

More jellybeans please.

This past weekend in San Jose was pretty crazy. First of all, traveling with the family is pretty interesting. I guess I’ve been traveling so much lately that I forgot how “exciting” it can be for most people to fly on a plane. It was Ishya and Billy’s wedding weekend and boy…it really did take up the whole weekend. The wedding was on Saturday morning. There was a Thai ceremony on Sunday morning and a Chinese banquet on Sunday night. We literally took the last flight back to LAX last night and I didn’t get home until 2am this morning. Whew!! Ishya looked beautiful and Billy was very emotional. The girls were dressed in cranberry red, lunch consisted of filet and shrimp, and we had enough jellybeans to last the rest of the year. Overall, it was a very organized affair and us riff-raffs even got to help out at the sign-in table.
