reunited

yay, i'm leaving for LA this afternoon and i'll be reunited with julian. we'll have lots of quality time together, instead of staying with julian's parents we'll be staying at a hotel fri-sun nights for our anniversary. yay.

while he was gone, i went to TWO baseball games!! isn't that unbelievable? on sat i went with jody and her bf to SF. we had brunch at dottie's true blue cafe which was very good. the wait was about 45 minutes though. i think it's worth the wait! i had a whiskey fennel sausage, mushroom, spinach scramble. and i got a banana chocolate chip muffin yum. after brunch we went to a giants game because jody wanted to check out at&t stadium. the weather was very nice and the giants won! on mon we went to an A's game against the red sox. it was very chilly but the A's won 9-0!! whoa!!

california adventures

i just bought our disneyland tickets, and NOW i'm wondering if i should have gotten the park hopper pass instead of the single park pass. has anyone been to ca adventures, is it worth it?? oh well, it's probably too late anyways, i don't think i would be able to exchange them if i wanted to. maybe next time. i'm not sure what possessed me to want to go to disneyland cause for the last few years i've been telling julian the next time i want to go is with our kids (and i haven't been there since i was 12). but recently i was thinking, hmm, if go when we have kids, we can't ride any of the roller coasters! so since julian keeps on saying how he wants to ride the new space mountain and we have a free day in LA and i get discount tickets from work, i decided why not? :)

p.s. thanks for the hollywood bowl suggestion alice. i went to check it out and it looks really cool. unfortunately all of our nights are booked with dinners & wedding activities but i definitely want to try it some time though!!

bleary-eyed

i woke up this morning at 5am to the sound of a txt message. yes!! my dear hubby has finally decided to contact me! woo hoo. so i quickly check my email and he says he's on icq. so i login and we chat for a little bit. yay. anyways, it seems like it's not very fun over there so i'm half glad i am not with him. he says it's very hot and muggy and since they are on a chinese tour(they're visiting china now), half of each day is spent going to places to buy things. oh, here's a direct quote "it is is one big infomercial just trying to sell us stuff". he said that most of the sales people don't know english (and julian, his bro, and mom don't know chinese) so there's a big communication problem. from the sound of things, doesn't seem like they're having a good time. oh wells. one more week until i see him again, it was nice finally able to talk to him. it feels weird not speaking for so many days. anyhoo, hopefully now i can rest easily. i've been averaging 5-6 hours/night when i'm used to 8, so i'm pretty exhausted. i feel like the bags under my eyes have tripled in darkness.

huff

i'm very upset because i have yet to hear from julian since he's left for malaysia fri night!!!!! he has not called or emailed, so i have no idea where he is/what he's doing/if he's ok. is it just me, or is that very inconsiderate??? he made me promise that i'll email him at least once a day, but what's the point if he's not reading them or responding?? hmph. he better have a veeeeery good reason as to why he hasn't contacted me!!! yet another reason as to why i've become an insomniac. sigh.

mild insomniac

my parents went to yellowstone for the week so my sister is home alone also. she came over last night to sleepover. i spent the whole afternoon indoors because i had to wait for the stupid comcast technician to come fix our on demand. it hasn't been working for several weeks, the appt was sun 12-4pm, and he didn't end up coming until 4:10 or something. sigh. but at least it's fixed even though i wasted so much time just waiting around. titanic was on hbo so i watched that while i was waiting. so anyways, now that our on demand was fixed, my sister and i started watching season 3 of entourage. on demand is so cool! =P

i think both my sister and i are both nervous sleepers. i can only really fall asleep when i feel "safe". if i'm home alone, i get really paranoid. every little noise freaks me out and i start thinking bad thoughts like, what would i do if a robber came? what if he tries to kill me? these are the kind of horrible things that keep me awake at night!! i end up waking up every 2 hours and it takes me a looong time to fall back asleep. ugh.

poor tummy

my stomach was feeling queasy, so i woke up at 3am today. i think it was the starbucks frappucino bottled drink i had earlier. i slept at 1am, so i'm going on 2 hours of sleep. i've been watching vh1 top 20 music videos for the last 2 hours, and now it's 5am. yesterday was tofu's birthday, so she's now officially one years old! julian is off to malaysia/china with his family so i'll be home alone for the next week and a half. i'm really paranoid about staying at the house alone, but hopefully it'll be ok. i'll be driving down to LA next wed and we'll be celebrating our one year anniversary! we're debating whether or not to go to disneyland, can you believe ticket prices are now $60?? at least i get a 20% discount from work. we're not really doing anything exciting for our anniversary, we're just going to keep it low key. i'm just going to be so glad to see him after being apart for 2 weeks. ok going to watch some tv and hopefully i'll be able to sleep a little later. tummy still feels funny. it doesn't help that julian isn't around, i think i've gotten used to him sleeping next to me, feels weird without him =(

plants have lots of fiber!

after tofu the terror chewed up the plant, she went poo 3 times in the span of an hour. and the poo was green!! usually she'll only go once on our walk. that was yesterday. today it is now almost 3pm and she has yet to go. she usually goes every morning when she wakes up. apparently eating plants disrupts your bowel movements, so learn from tofu, don't do it! =P

bad tofu

who would think such a cute innocent dog...





could create such havoc????




our poor poor plant. we just got it this weekend and i told julian we should probably move it because tofu was going to do something to it, but he said he would clean it up if she did. she left it alone last night when we went out to dinner at krung thai, but the plant did not have the same fate today when i came home from work. SIGH!!! the red arrow indicates where the 3rd stalk should be, but is now a stump!

hrmmm

ok, i guess i should make an entry but i don't really have anything to write about, just some random stuff. even though i'm done with school, i still feel like i don't really have time to take up any new hobbies. i wanted to start playing piano again and maybe take up jewelry making, but i just can't find time for it! and if i want to play piano i would have to somehow transport the piano from my parent's house to our house. and i have no idea where we would put it, but it's something i would like to do...eventually! hopefully sooner rather than later.

after work around 6-6:30pm we take tofu for a walk, come back around 7-7:30pm, make dinner which usually takes about an hour. eat dinner, and by that time it's around 8:30-9pm. watch some tv or a dvd, read a book, check email & web surf and then it's time for bed!

ant invasion

yesterday when i went to the kitchen to heat up dinner i saw thousands of ants crawling from our stove to our sink. it was TRES gross. i brought out the Raid can and started spraying them like a crazy woman. Even more disgusting was cleaning up the ant carcasses. The whole time I was secretly cursing Julian for playing ultimate while I had to deal with the ant crisis. I vowed if they came back, he would have to deal with them haha. today when i was making lunch i saw a few ants, so i had to Raid them again, but not like yesterday. ick ick ick

on a happier note, i finished watching all the 24 DVDs! i'm waiting for season 5 to come out. i feel bad for jack, his love life sucks. but i'm so so glad that tony and michelle ended up together. whew! that was nail-biting. anyhoo, i think i'm going to take a break from watching tv DVDs for now, i still have season 1 of lost and season 2 of nip/tuck to watch. i kind of want to watch the Sex and the City DVDs again, but I let Julian's mom borrow them all so they are currently in LA. i'm hoping i can get them back when we go down in Sept. i'm reading devil wears prada right now, it's a little different from the movie but it's good also.

decorating

i guess it's time for a new post! let's see, after living in our house for almost a year now, we've finally decided we should probably start decorating more hehe. now that i'm fairly certain tofu won't be biting on our furniture and destroying it, we can buy some new stuff. so we already have a new sofa and we just bought a new coffee table this past weekend, i would like to get a new dining table and a nice entertainment unit. the entertainment unit that i want is 8 inches too big, so it wouldn't fit into our little hatch area (i have no idea what it's called) plus our tv is too heavy so we would need to get a new tv as well i think!? but first things first, we still have to sell our old sofa which is taking up the dining room space and i want to get rid of a huuge desk we have in the guest bedroom. i think we probably need to pretty up our guest bedroom also. and our walls are so so bare! need some more decorations, like mirrors and art and such.
