i didn't end up going to the GM because Franny ending up going with me to the A appointment and he was sleepy. i'm never going back to that place again. she was hard-core traditional A and it was a horrific experience.
it's dad's bday on tuesday so we celebrated it pho 99. yum-yum. vietnamese food is always good and it seems healthy, but there are not that many nutritious veggies available. at least at pho 99 i guess. i had the bbq chicken and franny and everyone else had pho. oh except mike and verna's dad...they had rice plates too. reese kept singing and walking around like it was no one's business. very cute. she's such a good little girl, but i think she's starting her terrible two's stage. even so, if I ever have a daughter, I wouldn't mind having one just like her. she's absolutely, positively ADORABLE!
gotta go downstairs and get my you know what. dang, it's about that time again. i'm so sick of needles though. franny is probably having a good time poking them in me. evil, i tell ya. j/k. well, it's so hot lately. what is up with that.
do ya like my "quote of the day"???
Anyway, it's a nice sunday morning and I'm getting ready to get dressed to leave. Since I'll be in Milpitas, I might hit the GM, but dang I know it's going to be crowded as heck. Plus, I don't even think I can make it all the way around. All my shopping buddies are busy today so they won't be able to go window shopping with me. Boo! Last night, I had Armadillo Willy's for dinner with Ron. It was good. He's the bestest friend in the world. Sometimes I don't know how I would get through all the crap I deal with without my friends and family.
I had a dream that psycho's boyfriend or is it ex-boyfriend became friends with everyone again. Yeah, even me...but we all know that would never happen for real. Why did I dream of him of all people. I hardly think of them at all anymore. It must because of all the frustration I feel. Speaking of frustration...Gilbey, the sweetest dog in the world, took a crap on the stairs last night. Okay after almost 3.5 years of having him, he decides to do this? I'm so irritated right now. I can't help it. And how many times have I used the word "crap" in this entry? LOL.
I went to accupuncture earlier today and it went well...except for the part when the needles in my back kept falling off! It was cool because the doctor put pulses on the needle and it was vibrating through my whole session. It felt good. Hehehe.
When I got back home I was so tired. I just wanted to sleep. I think I might take a short nap, but I have to wake up in 30 mins. for my meds so it's kind of a waste. Surprisingly, I don't feel as sick as expected. Yippee! I have to see if this is still the case in two days or so. Ah, yes, that will be the true test. O'well, I'll just stay up and clean the upstairs for awhile, since I can't take that nap. Franny is sleeping on the couch right now. He seems pretty tired from something. The dogs are sleeping, too.
Franny and the guys are playing b-ball in hayward tonight. I wonder if I should go. I'm undecided. Maybe I will, maybe I won't.
I know I can't go back to work right now for reasons that are obvious, but I would like to as soon as I get the green light. I'm starting to really miss living like a normal, civilized, respected member of the community. NOT! Haha...no, seriously, I can't believe I am saying this, but "I can't wait to go back to work". I miss being around other people. I miss being in a fast-paced and challenging environment, yet flexible at the same time. I miss accomplishing goals and getting recognition from my peers. I miss telling people what to do. I miss getting my fatty paycheck. It seems like I miss many things, but what I will not miss is waking up at 8am every morning. I know what you all are thinking. 8am is not early. Well, it was early for me, damn it! What's early for you, can be late for someone else. So, there! Why do you have to argue with me anyway, hmm? Oh man, I think some of Franny's ADD is rubbing off on me. Either that, or my meds are making me bi-polar.
Just Kidding! LOL. Dang, he IS causing me to bruise though, the punk. He stuck a needle in me and then without removing it, he reached for a cottonball and it twisted inside me. Ouch! And yestersday he gave me a massive bruise. It still hurts. Luckily my clothing is covering everything.
We just had some ribs from Tony Romas. And coleslaw and beans. Yummy. I wanted the green beans, but they gave us the refried ones instead. The ribs were tasty though. We went to St. Anne's earlier for the 6pm mass and saw the Austrias...again. We always see those guys, whether we're at St. Annes or St. Edwards. It's weird. Anyway, it was extremely stuffy in the church and I really felt sick the first 30 minutes. I had to hold on to Franny's arm (we were standing in the back), otherwise I would have been on the ground.
Earlier this afternoon, I had a nice brunch at the Hilton in Livermore. Then Ron and I went to Best Buy and watched Laws of Attraction at the Hacienda Crossings. It was an okay movie. I really wanted to see it, so I'm glad I did. It was exactly the kind of movie that I was in the mood to see: light-hearted and romantic. Pierce Brosnan ain't that attractive in it though. Maybe the fool is just getting old. He was HOT in Thomas Crowne Affair. That is one of my favorite movies.
Noel, Brady, and Arlene got a new dog. I saw a pic and she's so cute. I hope she gets along with her doggie-cousins (brady and belle).
I'm still wondering how Bobo is doing over at the Lee home. Where are you LIZ, miss MIA, hmm??? I know you read this! Okay, so I'm a little crabby today. Hey, I'm entitled. Just bite me.
Start meds tomorrow.
Had a nice day at home cleaning and working on the web for about half an hour. Went on the forum and created a music playlist using a .ram file. Click on "start" playlist (on the side menu below Archives) to listen to some of my favorite songs.
I'm watching the Daytime Soap Opera awards. Vanessa Marcil is hosting. She's so pretty, but Franny's calling her a hoe because of what she's wearing. I also watched the pre-show on SoapNet. Heehee.
Alvin called and wanted to see if we wanted to go out to dinner. Franny needed sleep so we had to pass. His bday is coming up on Sunday, but he's working like everyday for the next week since he's going to Hawaii in early June. We'll have to get together sometime soon.
Jenn emailed yesterday and asked if Franny could be a cord sponser. Now he's part of the wedding too =)
After, got eyebrow waxing, a pedicure, and chopped my hair. Got a new Kate Spade purse and some New Balance Shoes.
Didn't really exercise or have time to do Chi Kung or Chi Nei Tsang. Tried off and on before I went to bed.
Had a chicken ceasar salad for lunch and honey walnut prawns, s&p spareribs, and chinese chicken salad for dinner.
Watched Survivor All Stars. Wished Rob M. got the money, but am happy that Rupert did anyway. Watched CSI: LV and Without A Trace afterwards.
Just got back from playing basketball with Franny and Ron. We played a game of 21 and Franny won. My husband is really athletic. He excels in any sport he plays, especially b-ball, football, and baseball. Even when we would have roller-hockey tournaments with the family, he kicked ass. It's kinda cool. I mean, not just athletic sports, but things like pool and bowling, too. We're both really competitive which is the reason why we can butt heads sometimes. Anyway, about the game, Ron got a score of 19, while I ended up with a measly 12. My aim is pretty good, but for some sad reason I wasn't making them today. We also played Around the World, which was fun. I was beating both of them for a long while, but they over took me mid-way. O'well. At least I gave it my best shot. LOL. Okay now Ron is a pretty good basketball player as well. He can make the really long shots. Overall, good times, good times.
This morning I worked out on the stepper for awhile. I'm trying to increase my time gradually. I saw an informercial for the Total Gym XL and got a little interested. I don't think I'll ever get it, but it looked like something I would have fun with.
Jasmine was horrible on AI last night. I ended up feeling sorry for her though. She started crying. Poor girl. I hope she doesn't go tonight, but the other 3 singers are just better.
Tonight, "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelor: Women Tell All" are on.
Heard from Jenn and the other girls about the bridesmaids dress. Seems like everyone wants strapless. I would like either strapless or halter or a really high thin strap. I think everyone will look pretty in anything they wear.
Started Chi Nei Tsang Massage and Accupunture. Fun. Getting poked with needles is just my thing. It actually isn't that bad.
Finally updated photos on my site and then worked on a new design for my nephew's blog.
Started on a few meds earlier this week that are making me nauseaus. It's getting better. Only four more days to go. Boo!
Missed the Friends finale last night. Darn. I need to find a tape. Bachelor was good, but next week looks even better. Trish looks coo-coo! LOL.
Loida Cruz convicted of 2nd degree murder. Thank you Lord! There is justice in this world. Well, it would have been ideal to have 1st degree murder, but at least the jury didn't buy that whole BPD crap. Franny and I are convinced that everyone has a little bit of BPD in them. The classification for that so called disease is so broad. I suspect that quite a few people have it, if I go by the classification, but it won't excuse someone of doing evil, hurtful things. JMHO.
Hooked on AMC. I love Ryan and Greenlee. I hope they make it to the alter. Rendell fans suck!!! Watched 13 going on 30, Ella Enchanted, and Mean Girls. ALL GOOD. I'm such a teeny-bopper.
And last but not least...got a new flip phone. It's tiny, silver, and cute. I'm liking it so far...
