I haven't had much to say lately, and if I did I've been too lazy to state it in an eloquent manner. For the boring posts, I apologize ;)

Anyway, we had our grandma stitch night last night and I hosted this time. I attempted to make chicken adobo for the first time, but I was not happy with the outcome >:( The sauce was too salty, however the chicken itself turned out okay. But I guess there wasn't really supposed to be a lot of sauce...? I don't know. It's been a long time since I've had it. Once again, none of us except Erin did crafts. I don't know why we like to claim it as "craft night". None of have really finished a craft yet during these get-togethers, haha!

And just because... I can't wait to see "Waiting"!!! Two reasons: 1) Ryan Reynolds... he's HOT, and 2) Dane Cook... I love him. He's my favorite comedian!!!

This weekend was fun, but I am extremely exhausted. I'm not sure if it's a result of the weekend but I've been feeling very lethargic for the past couple of weeks despite minimal changes in sleep patterns. Additionally, I've been having quite the appetite, and lethargy and eating are not a good combo.

Anyway... last Friday I went to the county fair at the Pomona Fairplex with some cousins. I like fairs, but I hate the cost of enjoying them. Anyway, other than enjoying great fair food, the cousins and I rode on "Tango". That is one crazy ride. Maree summarized the feeling as "feeling like you're gonna die". She wasn't too far off.

Saturday night we spent the night at Morongo for Elle's birthday. Maree and I went clubbing at "The Vue" (or the 'vwee' as Chad says, haha) which was formally the Space Bar. The crowd there that night was old and weird. There was an old man there with glow sticks... 'nuff said. We spent the rest of the night causing trouble in the hotel room.

There was a barbecue and party waiting for us when we got home. It's great to have the whole family together for whatever reason. Family is the best... and that was my weekend, haha :)

Work's been boring lately, but it livened up today because afterwards the coworkers and I hit up happy hour at Sharkeez in Hermosa. We got just the last 10 minutes of it, but it was still cool. I'm glad I always end up working with some really cool people. Even though I wasn't drunk, I managed to tell someone about a secret crush I have on one of the guys. What have I done. Actually, she shares the same secret attraction. Every office has to have that one guy that all the girls swoon over. He must be it. But this observation is based just on 2 girls' confirmed opinions. I bet if I asked the other girls, they'd agree. Hmm... is this a good thing? Competition is killer.

Anyway, on a completely different topic, right now I feel kind of weird. A mix of emotions as a result of interacting with different people recently. I'm excited, resentful, jealous, hopeful... and I don't know what else, but I'm not confused. I feel kind of tense, and I don't like having conflicting emotions. Ugh... I hope I get over it soon.

I received my third custom-made greeting card today, and I must say I am intrigued. The first card I received was for my housewarming, and I thought, "Wow, this is amazing. She made this herself? I'm jealous". I envied her creativity and ability to make something so professional looking. My second card was a birthday card from bobabraces, and although the card was completely different from the first, I could see the resemblance and had to ask her how she made it because it was so friggin cute. She discovered it from a stamp-party which is somewhat similar to a tupperware-party or, more interesting, a pleasure-party :P I'm always trying to find interesting and cool ways to exercise the artsy fartsy part of my brain, so I kept this information in mind. Then today I received another birthday card from my fellow rotators that one of the girls makes for everyone's birthday (amongst the rotators). I realized that I've seen these before when signing them for others, but I don't know why I never asked about it. For some strange reason I never really considered it seriously until today, but I think it's because the name of the company that hosts these things (Stampin Up) was on the back of the card :P Their subtle marketing schemes have worked on me. The kits seem to be very similar to scrapbooking kits which is also a hobby I would like to pick up, but I always felt like I wasn't creative enough. Now I really want to attend one of these "stamping-parties", or even have one hosted in my home :) What do you say, fellow grandma-stitch-night ladies? Would you be interested?

Only in LA will I have to endure sitting through bumper to bumper traffic at 12AM... it took 20 minutes to go about 1/4 of a mile. Unbelievable.

Well, this weekend seems to be coming to a close too fast! I woke up around 12 today, so today flew by even though it's not over yet. Yesterday, I had lunch with a couple of friends, and then went to a housewarming party. It was cool, but when I got home I was exhausted since I only got 5 hours of sleep the night before. As I was getting ready for bed, MK invited me over to play some games and have a sleepover. After little consideration, I decided to go because I've been wanting to try out this game that they have been raving about :) On my way there, I got stuck in traffic. But at least I eventually got there and did so safely. We played until about 3AM when a winner was declared. I was too tired to be a sore loser, haha j/k.

Today, I drove back home after having lunch and vegged. Vegging is nice... but I can't help but feel like a heifer after. I like to try to keep myself occupied and busy all the time. Anyway, I watched "Suicide Circle" (aka Suicide Club, I think), and it kind of left me speechless. It was really surreal. I didn't feel like they explained motives and purpose well, so it kind of left me confused. Those crazy Japanese movies.

I've been pretty balls-y this week. I'm quite proud of myself, LOL

My stomach is KILLING me. I hope I don't have food poisoning again, but I think I do... uuuugghhh... :(

Anyway, I had a 4-day weekend, and it was nice :) I headed home Friday, but I don't remember what I did. Saturday was my birthday and I spent it with my family. Some of the plans we had didn't go through, so we decided to postpone them until later. Instead, I went shopping (which is always good, hehe, I love all the stuff they bought me!) and then watched 40 Year Old Virgin and The Skeleton Key that night at the drive-in with the sis. I love drive-ins... actually, I just love the 50's era, and drive-ins are just a part of it. They even play 50's music while you're waiting for the movie :)

Anyway, I can't remember what I did Sunday during the day, but I gathered a few key friends for dinner at HOB for my birthday. I'm happy that the people that showed up were there ;) After that, we hit up the club and got trashed. Or at least I did! I think only a few people I knew were not tossed. I was surprised because I got drunk off only a few drinks, and I mean DRUNK. I wasn't too drunk to hurl, nor too drunk to pass out, but I was drunk enough where most of the night was a blur and it felt like the night passed me by so fast. It was a GOOD drunk :) I wish I remembered everything that happened because now I'm paranoid. I'm hoping I didn't do or say anything I would regret... not because I'll regret the action, just because I'll regret who saw it, haha I'M JUST KIDDING! I do remember people kissing me on the cheek... but I think I can only remember 2 or 3 of them that did. I also remember people being awfully friendly to me. Some of them weirded me out, and made me think, "eww... gross", haha. I also remember people cock-blocking. Not cool, but I didn't care because I was drunk, haha.

Yesterday was sort of a chill day. It was those hangover days where you just want to sleep, but I didn't sleep that much... it sucks! I tried to leave kind of early because I was going to meet some cousins for dinner in their area. Before I left, I tried to call a friend for coffee, but unfortunately he was unavailable... :\ Anyway, my loving cousins took me out to dinner at Macaroni Grill. Maree bought me the Dane Cook CD, and I've never laughed so much by myself before.

This weekend was really great... I just wish I had another day to recoop, because I feel sh*tty. Well... I guess I could sleep early tonight!
