Happy Lunar New Year!
This is an exciting year for us and we’re excited that Kumquat will be a Dragon! She must be just as excited because it seemed like she was kicking more frequently and harder today.
When I got home today, I was also surprised to find a package in the mailbox and then a big box at my door. The package was from The UCLA Store with no message. Turns out it was from Dayantha and Krissy. Isn’t it a cute little set?! Thanks guys! I almost drove myself to UCLA yesterday in hopes of finding something just as cute!
The big box was from Brother and Joy. They bought Kumquat a carrier and a pacifier that has a giraffe connected to it so that it lays on her tummy once it falls out of her mouth. I have mixed feelings about pacifiers but if she’s going to use one, it might as well be this one. Thanks guys!
Happy New Year!
We drove down to Cerritos on Friday afternoon and made it in 6.25 hours including dinner at In N Out and a gas fill-up. The purpose of this weekend was to 1) get the car fixed and 2) to return Jason’s car. In all the planning for the weekend, I couldn’t find someone to watch Koa. So, not only did we leave Jason’s car and our car but we also left the dog. It’ll be three weeks of no car and no dog. That’ll be interesting.
On Saturday, we got the new rim installed at Costco (at no charge!) and I got a good look at the crack in our old one. It’s pretty big crack. No wonder our tire kept going flat. Crazy.
On Sunday morning, my mom and a family friend went out to buy a bunch of food for the Chinese New Year altar. Unfortunately, it was very tempting to Koa. I caught him red-handed with the pork (bottom right) in his mouth and the plate falling to the ground.
Immediately, he was sent out to the backyard for some alone time away from the food.
When it was almost time to catch my 6:30 flight back to SF, I got a text message from SWA saying it was delayed to 10:05. So, I called Brother and Joy and made arrangements to hang out with them until my flight. Before leaving, I took this photo with my parents. Again, I look HUGE! I also said “see ya soon” to the dog, who seemed a little confused that he wasn’t following me and my bags into the car.
For dinner, we had Souplantation, which I had not had since college. I was so excited for the peas and corn and soft serve and it was so cheap!!
Later that night, I got another text saying that the flight was delayed even more and not leaving until 10:55! Yikes. So, after a bumpy flight through the SF rain and a crazy cab ride, I was home by 1:00 am. This morning was rough but I was pretty relieved that I didn’t have a dog to walk in the cold rain.
