Song: As It Seems

I think this was the song that was featured on the season finale of criminal minds and i was like oooh i like. I'm not kidding when i say i'm obsessed!

- I came to work dressed like a slob forgetting that i had a yelp event to go to this evening and i basically have no time to go home and change. Great.

- I ate too much for lunch today. So. FULL. So. BAD.

- Pinot's palette for chacco's big three-oh. Very cool and fun. Downed three glasses of wine.

- Houston bouncers are such pain in the butts. I hate them.

- I have come to accept and give crazy laugh when i have CT. You know. Camel Toe. Haha.

- My phrase of the month has been 'i'm so out of it!'. Example: Leaving my tennies on top of the car

- Swam another 1500m straight! But i'm so slooow. People doing breastroke are going faster than me. Haha.

- Signed up for a running training program with in flight running called no boundaries. Hopefully this will help me become a better runner. So scared!

- Had to cancel on a chance to watch Ian Woodall speak about the Tao of Everest. Things are just too darn busy at the office. There's just no time for anything these days.

- Just realized that i could have gone to see george clooney speak at the wortham. Thought tickets were more than $1000 but turned out that was for the dinner. I'm seriously so out of it. UGH!

Song: Speaking A Dead Language

I think it's funny how the songs i listen to are all over the place tempo wise. I mix my dance songs with ballads with coffee house. And that's i how i listen to them in the car and at my desk. It completely goes against the need i have for wanting to organize and categorize most things. I kinda represents how i function on a daily basis. Just all over the place. I'm a chaotically organized person?

- Work is not fun right now. I feel like i'm back in school. I'm reading through an endless amount of literature right now. Will i be tested on this material? Quite possibly cos i need to know what i'm talking about at work. Ugh.

- Watched act of valor. So GOOD! I almost wanted to be a navy seal for a moment there. Roselyn Sanchez's rescue mission was pretty awesome. This is the kind of stuff they should be showing to future recruits. Can't say enough about being thankful that there are people out there with the courage and willingness to sacrifice their life for our freedom. We really have no right to complain about anything. It's so humbling. I will learn from this. Real navy seals were supposedly used for these roles. You can tell during non-combat dialogue. Not so good. But they're not real actors so it's okay. Jessica Alba is supposedly an 'actress' and she's so far from it. Good looks can get you far in this world.

- Massages: undies or no undies? I'm prolly 50/50. Depends on my mood. Depends on the place. I decided to go undie-less last week and of course i end up getting a MALE masseur. Lucky him! Haha.

- Antsymama picked me up for lunch and we FEASTED over at thien an. Ate. Too. Much. Gau said the banh xeo here was the best. I do not agree. My fave is a tie b/t thuan kieu or jacques homemade banh xeo. I've been craving thuan kieu really bad.

- Bethany Ever After: Must watch this week. She goes snowboarding in aspen and she looks pretty darn good!

- Criminal Minds: I'm so obsessed with this show and the re-runs on ion television: 'positively entertaining'. Get it? GET IT?!? ION ... Positively. Season finale this week and it could be emily prentiss' last episode!

- I have approx/more than $800 worth of stuff in my gap, inc shopping cart that is filled with gap, piperlime and athleta items. So bad. I just keep watching and waiting that things will go on sale before they sell out. And then i calculate my savings with coupon codes. So baaaaad. So hard to resist. Why can't i be big baller!

Baby Shower: Faith

These are fotos from rice and corn's baby shower for their little girl faith. Great name! Gilles, mascara and transam did such a wonderful job with the decor and food. I know i'm always gonna eat up a storm when i go to chez ngo. I got a chance to show my awesome pictionary skills during a baby themed challenge. The funniest part was when i was up to draw, i was up against a dood and our word was 'labor'. Oh dood he was. I drew preggo lady with legs up in the air getting ready to pop a baby out. He drew like a construction worker digging with a shovel. Hard labor! Haha. So funny. Since i knew all the pictures were baby themed, i already pulled up a list of potential baby related words in my head and just started firing them out as my teamates were drawing. And i'm LOUD. So even if the other team said the word first. All you could basically hear is MEEEEEE! Haha. I love that game. But i don't care to play it cos it brings out the ugly in me. Haha. My team won of course. Ugh you see! I hate being competitive! As i've mentioned before, i seem to have tricked people into thinking i'm a baker. I actually hate baking. I just like the art and creativity that comes with it. Since my dear co-worker friend baked me those awesomoe tirimisu cupcakes, i really wanted to try to make some. Usually i wait and make stuff only once and hope things are peachy. This time however, i did a test batch. And thank goodness i did! My first batch of cupcakes came out all weird and some were burnt. I don't believe in setting timers and i seriously can't/shouldn't bake/cook and watch tv at the same time. So i was more careful with the real batch and i think everyone seemed to like it. Even the parents liked it and older asian parents are the hardest to please when it comes to american desserts. I was pretty pleased with myself. I always enjoy spending time with this group of people. I feel like i could be stuck in a barren warehouse with no entertainment and still have a great time with them. It's all in the company! And the best part is that they seem to enjoy my comapany too.
