… or sheep as others would say.
Happy Chinese New Year, lovelies! Wishing you all great health, wealth and success, filled with love and happiness!
I was told this year, I can’t be aloof if I want to find a guy. Which is funny because I get told that all the time. When I like someone, I am as aloof as they can get. So I guess it’s time to open up and let them in. HA
Until next time,
My Valentine’s Day loot from my love!!
Ha Just kidding. A giant package from Liliana and Patricia. Biggest surprise ever! They even included some things for Rizzo. Cutes! I’m excited for the cotton candy.
As for the actual day, I went to breakfast with the family at IHOP. Then Mum and I ran some errands.
Later that night, I went to Price’s congratulations/goodbye party. Price is getting married and also leaving to Washington for school/job. It was a mini high school reunion and was super fun. I love Price and his family. Always so nice and inviting.
That’s pretty much all I remember doing this weekend. Lately, weekends feels like it goes by too fast and I get nothing accomplished. How did I get so busy? … and it’s not even busy. Horrible. Wasting away.
Anyway. Chinese New Year is just around the corner! Who’s excited? 
How adorable is this? Too adorable. Obviously. If you know me, you’ll know I love all things hedgehog. I would love this for my future home when I have parties! I read that it only works on certain types of bowls though. Shucks.
Can anyone make me this? It’s bigger on the inside for sure. I would put my movies on the sides and books in the middle. Speaking of, I need to catch up since the last season I watched!
They have a video and everything but I couldn’t get it to work on this post. But definitely check out the link for the video. It’s pretty neat and something I’d want for my future fridge. only thing I’ll be afraid of is knocking them down when I put something in and push too far.
This weekend went by too fast. I accomplished … nothing in my mind. And this whole post is just to describe one whole day! I seriously cannot wait for March where I have NOTHING planned. There will probably be at least one birthday celebration but nothing too crazy like weddings and bachelorette parties and bridal parties and traveling.
Saturday, I waited for my cousin, Joanna, to come over. Her wedding is at the end of February and I think she just realized she has a lot she still has to do. She’s having pretty much 400 people come to her wedding and she needs place cards with table numbers so everyone knows where to go. That’s where I come in. I’ll be making them with my handy dandy Cricut. To stay with her theme, I’ll be making them in the shape of luggage! I also have to make a few different decorations for her. So much to do and hoping that I can finish in time. Yikes!
Then we went and did some other wedding errands before going off to the Indian place to get pieces for our saris. She’s marrying an Indian so other than a Chinese wedding and a Western wedding, they’ll be having an Indian one. Crazy, huh? But I’m excited to see how other ethnicities’ traditions are. Shall be fun!
It’s crazy how much there is to do for a wedding. Joanna’s taking a whole week off for the little things she has to do for the wedding. I’m not sure I would get engaged and married until almost one and a half years later or two. Michelle took time for her wedding planning (because she kind of had to with her fiancé in medical school) and it seems she’s much calmer because she has more time to plan things. Maybe I’ll take her route … if I ever find a dude dumb enough to pick me.
Later that night, I went and celebrated Zuco’s birthday. Little lady just turned 22. A few of the guys and her went paintballing. Sadly, I couldn’t make it but I made sure to get there for dinner and Midtown after. I’m not a big fan of Midtown. Crazy drunks everywhere and bad drivers. Yikes. Luckily we got there in one piece and back.
She’s the one I’ll be rooming with (along with her younger sister) for their brother’s wedding in Cancun! Supa excited!!!!
Here’s to a quick work week. 4 days. Yay!
I actually don’t like when people use “word vomit” but it seems appropriate for this post. Just a whole lot of word vomit.
I’ve been sick these past few days and took half a day off Monday and all day Tuesday from work. It’s been glorious. All I’ve been doing is relaxing and watching Orange Is The New Black with Rizzo while he sleeps beside me. I could do without all the nudity and stuff in OITNB but the story is pretty good. It’s all sorts of crazy. Wishing I could take more sick days off this week but today I’m getting a new laptop for work and if I miss it, I’d have to wait a while to reschedule.
Is it sad to say I’m ready for March to come? March is the only month this year where I have NOTHING planned. Isn’t that crazy? I just want to relax and do nothing. Going to weddings, traveling, seeing family and friends is wonderful but to have a month where I am not constantly on the move is going to be amazeballs.
If you haven’t noticed, I’m trying something new. Not blogging every day but at least aiming for twice a week if possible. Mondays and Wednesdays seem to be working at the moment, but who knows how long that’ll last. I’m always amazed at how people always have something to say every single day. How do you come up with topics that are intriguing to others?
Reading and commenting blog wise, I usually wait until the end of the week when I actually have more down time to sit and read and comment. I’m hoping I can get my Fridays in the coffee shop back soon. Sadly the coffee shop I go to all the time is renovating/moving. So I need to find another one. Sigh. Why are all the local coffee shops so far from home?
Okay, no more complaining. I forgot how just writing to write feels sometimes.
