I have a thing for Chinese Food from China Wok on 106000 South and Redwood Road. My family frequents this restaurant so often they know us by name and by order. When I walked into China Wok by myself today the boy taking the order (his name is Ray) said "Only you today?" I said, "Yes, can you believe it!" He giggled then proceeded "Will you be having the Kun Pao Chicken today?"
...He knows me too damn well :D
I love peanuts and spicy chicken...
The thing about my nieces and nephews is that they never run out of fun and sometimes idiotic ideas. That's exactly why I spend 92.345768% of my time with them :D
This was our trip to IKEA (they "tried-out" every model room) where we got plenty of stares and sometimes giggles from other shoppers :D
It was really weird not having Seth around this year. Karen and I were tasked with making his delicious stuffing. "LOTS AND LOTS OF SAGE" that's what he always said, and that's what we did this year. It turned out delicious though not quite as delicious as his. "Seth would be proud of us" I told my sister. She smiled.
Thanksgiving was Seth's favorite holiday. I can't begin to imagine how this Thanksgiving felt for my sister...
I like to think he was there in spirit watching us stuff our faces, lots and lots of sage included :D
We put the Christmas tree up at my sisters last week. We missed Sethie but made the best of it with jokes, Christmas music, stories and fun pictures:D
LOLZ! Justin sent me this video today and it pretty much made my whole day :D
Effing awesome.
My dear friend Emma. She loves to come to work with her shirts inside out. I'm beginning to think it's no accident, but rather more of a habit on her part. I believe she wakes up in the morning and INSISTS on making a fashion statement. She may view it as a method of self expression but I, on the other hand, feel that she should quit reading whatever Manual of Style she's been devouring at night and stick to proof reading and correcting english grammEr. Emma, you see, I'm even willing to keep you occcccupppied.
I love you anyways. Handsome boy, please help her. Get her a night light, a mirror, aything to help her see that the little tag on the back needs to be against her skin :D
XoXoXOOOXooo
I voted for change today. It was my first time voting. I became a US Citizen in September 2008.
I was nervous, excited. I couldn't sleep last night.
I voted this morning. Afterwards I called my mom and thanked her... for everything that she did that made this day possible for me.
I voted for change today. I cried as I walked back to my car. I cried because for the first time in my life I felt passionate about a politician, I cried because I could vote for him, because I felt in a sense - complete as an individual in this country - with a sense of belonging. I cried because I sincerely felt that my voice mattered, my voice spoke up, I raised my hand, I gave my opinion, I let it be known - on a ballot - that I want change....
Voting is a right I'll never take for granted....
My family and I are obsessed with Nacho Libre. We quote this movie entirely too much but it's just so FANTASTIC! Jack Black melts my face off with his wrestling style and FANTASTIC dialogue! Go on, watch it.
