Oh boy. Today was a very sweet day.

First we got our Girl Scout Cookies. 2 boxes of Thin Mints. 2 boxes of Shortbread. I’m thinking they will go well with baking. But we shall see.

Went out to lunch with some coworkers for a birthday. Thai House on Eldridge if you’re ever in Houston. So YUM! Then we had the cake I baked last night for a coworker’s birthday got gobbled up. Chocolate on top of chocolate.

A sweet surprise landed in our mailbox. Body Central. Sissy and I shop all the time online and this is just another one of our goodies. Fun Funs!

Do you shop online? It’s starting to be a problem for me. Time to cut myself off!

Valentine’s Day tomorrow! What are your plans?! I have a date … with one of my good friends, Samantha! We are going to have a girl’s night. Can’t wait for simple relaxation. Yippee!

The Good: We decorated one of our coworker’s office today. It’s her birthday but she took the day off. She will be surprised! Or maybe she knew it was coming? Over the hill. Hence the black streamers coming down. Teehee.

And the best popcorn ever. Any kind of white cheddar popcorn is my favorite. I especially love when my fingers turn powered white. YUM! I got this from the blood center and made it my snack today. Best. Idea. Ever. If you buy me popcorn, we’d be best friends. Not the caramel sweet, sticky, dessert like popcorns though, please and thank you.

The Bad: On a sadder news, a coworker of mine had a minor heart attack (I believe) this morning and had to be rushed to the hospital. It was pretty scary because you’d never think to see that happen. At least we had a good system and got here there in time.

Samantha sucked me into watching Doctor Who? on Netflix. Little bit of scary but a little bit of curiosity makes me continue watching. Therefore, I’m signing off and watching another episode … or two … before nighty night.

Only those from FTK will understand where that quote came from in my title.

Anyway, that’s Mallory giving blood. We decided to go to the Blood Center last week so we made our way there today. Love giving back.

I apparently have a rare blood type so I like knowing I can help out.

Then we met up with Samantha and we did happy hour. You’ll notice the tea. I didn’t drink! One of the no-no’s after donating blood. But who really cares. I’m just trying to drink less.

And following that is homemade potato chips and a harvest flatbread. YUMS!

Three more days until the weekend for moi!

I decided to do Project 365 since it’s the start of the (Chinese) New Year.

For those that don’t know what that is, it’s a project in where you take ONE picture (or two or five thousand) a day as a reminder of life.

I’ve been writing in a calendar something good per day but this seems more memorable since it’s in the blog and all.

I don’t know if I’ll post every day or not. BUT I will take a picture everyday and try my best to post it everyday. If not then I’ll just pretend I posted it that day … when we all know I didn’t. Lies. I know.

Without further ado, here goes.

Happy Chinese New Year, wonderfuls! It’s been a very relaxing weekend hanging out with the family. The members in our family dwindles down every year since we’re all so busy with work or school and such. But when we get together, it feels like old times. Given the only kids this time around was sissy, Brett, and I, we still had fun.

Since it’s the year of the snake, my year, it means I have bad luck. Therefore Mum, Dad, and June gave me an extra red envelope. Two of which has red string in it and I can’t use the money in it for a year. Used to ward off the bad. The other red string is tied around my wrist. Hope it works. I need all the good luck I can get.

Hope you all had a great weekend!
