Birthday: Daddy

Happy birthday to my super dad. The man that can fix just about anything. He's a good man who deserves great things. Growing up, my sisters knew better than to anger him. He's a man of little emotions so when he did get mad, it was because we really screwed up. I can't speak for my sisters but I know that he has instilled in me as much righteousness as he could. Generosity. Respect. One memory I always recall is a time during my middle school years, my dad was looking for something and asked me if I had seen it. I told him no and continued on my lazy bout of television watching. Five seconds go by and suddenly, my dad is mad and yelling at me. He was upset because he had expected me to get up and help him look for whatever it was. I'm a bad daughter! It was incredibly rude for me to have just sat there and not offer to help him. And so from that day on, if he or anyone else comes to me about something that they are looking for, I always make it a point to get up and try my best to help them seek it out. It's these small lessons that I have kept with me till this very day. Kudos to you daddy dearest!

Musik Mundi: Lesley Roy

On a more accurate note, it should be Musik Thursdi. I've been out of town so I had to back blog my Mundi Musik of choice. Lesley Roy has this song out on the radio called Unbeautiful and it's a beautiful song about bad break-ups and how it sometimes leaves you questioning why that person stopped being attracted to you. I know I have mos def felt like that before! Before meeting the ever so wonderful bf, I had been single for a good FIVE whole years. There were days where I wondered what it was about me. Was it me? People said I was picky but there wasn't anyone to really be picky about. But everything that's supposed to happen always falls into place. Her style is considered power pop. Her music means business and so does her voice. It's a deep and powerful voice that is no where near those sugary mainstream pop vocals. That's a good thing! This Irish songstress even has a track called Slow Goodbye that was written by Miss Katy Perry. Coolness!

Bachey: Transam

Mister Transam is getting married to 2X in December and the bf and his boys all had a super unforgettable trip to Seattle/Vancouver. Oddly enough, I actually threw out that idea to them since Transam is an outdoorsy kinda guy and we have a friend who just recently moved to Seattle. You know what that means! Free lodging! The bf only showed me the non-incriminating photos which I have decided to post. It sounded as if they had a frackin' blast from all the non-stop stories of mischief. For two whole days after he got home, I would find him cackling over the phone with one of his friends while they reminisced about what happened. It's a beautiful thing really. I hope the female bachey trip is as equally successful!

First night in Seattle: king crab legs and clams.

Too much of this ...

equals to too much of this:

The beautiful city of Vancouver. The skies are so clear!

This was the highlight of their trip. The bf made reservations at this sushi restaurant where the sushi chef there was the inventor of the California Roll and the Spider Roll. How cool is that! The place is called Tojos and it's located in Vancouver. Everyone was pretty much raving about how this was the best sushi they have ever had. They ordered Omakase style which means they are basically 'entrusting' the chef to bring out the good stuff.

Spider roll wrapped not in seaweed/soy paper, but thinly sliced cucumber!

Back in Seattle, the guys went to another nice restaurant. See this supposed egg roll? Well, it's actually filled with creamy mashed potatoes.

Steak and bursting at the seam lobster.

Some of the boys.

It's my turn to have some fun in two weeks!

Paw Pals: Pit Bull Arm Pit

Now I am also curious as to what Tino's pits smell like.

Stewie is getting so darn big. She's crazy and mean. She attacks and bites and claws everyone as much as she can. But I still want to keep her.
