Dessert & Movie Night

November 7, 2011 dinner event

You know that saying: “getting out of the wrong side of the bed”? So much truth to that. I’ve been getting out the “wrong side” of the bed for weeks now. It doesn’t help that I’m either sleeping too little or sleeping too much, or that the buttons of my skinny jeans is about to [...]

Acorn and the Tree

October 19, 2011 eating out

My grandfather—mother’s side—died Wednesday morning. I got the news from my cousin, who sent me an urgent Facebook message, who said my relatives couldn’t reach my parents. It was 3 a.m. Pacific Time, which meant it was 6 a.m. over at my parents’. I called them several times, biting my nails. I had never broken [...]

Let’s Have Koffea and Ice

July 14, 2011 eating out

Boo. Mother was right. I could never just “nap.” I harrumphed her and told her, of course I can. And now I’m paying the price by being brightly awake tonight. “Napped” for almost 5 hours and now I’m screwed because I still have to get up for work tomorrow and my long-time buddy Jane is [...]
