Twilight

Okay okay.. so I'm not a teenie bopper, but the books are damn good! And yes I know Stephanie Meyer isn't a good writer. But the books are just addicting. I'm in the middle of book three and just printed out the leaked "Midnight Sun".

Finally saw the movie last night with Chino and Wendy. I'm buying that movie. I'm buying the boxed book set if I like Eclipse/Breaking Dawn.. or maybe just the collector's edition of Twilight. And maybe a cardboard cut out of Edward (for my cousin of course). Oh and by the way, Edward playing the piano? Hot. Obsessed? I think not... okay maybe just a little.

Cupcakes with Wendy

Tonight I hung out with Wendy and we made some yummy Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes! This is the first time this year I've baked. Actually the first time I've baked in quite a while. Its nice trying to get back into the swing of things. These were vanilla cupcakes filled with custard/pastry cream and topped with chocolate frosting! Yummers.

Donut wheel

Donut wheel always brings back good memories. Its one of those places that I'll always hold close to my heart (and stomach). Now it just seems to be packed with high school/college kids who obviously can't find a better place to go study.

Some fond memories:

- Mom buying me and Dave each a custard filled bar (chocolate for me of course) and dropping us off at day care where I swear to god the other kids were about to lynch us and take them off our hands. I was a terrified 3 year old.

- Coming home from college and going out for late night donuts with the girls.

- Drunken 21st birthday thrown in the backseat of the dodge diplomat with my legs hanging out the window and trying to order donuts. Probably slurred a lot.

- Late night donut missions.. sometimes alcohol involved.. sometimes just good company.

Last night the girls knew what would hit the spot. Nothing like an old-fashioned chocolate glazed donut to cheer me up.

Lunar new year part 2

Saturday evening was Margie's (Lynda's future daughter in law) bachelorette party. Suffice it to say, I overdid myself. I hit an all time record low. Thank god Chino was there to pick me up several times (figuratively AND literally). I love that girl. Oh what would I do without her? I'd probably be dead in a dumpster somewhere...

She's so cute!! Before the night went downhill:

Lunar new year part 1

Food and family.. and little red envelopes. Thats what lunar new year is all about! Today I went to my aunt's house for lunch. We weren't done eating until 4... *sigh*.

Was the typical family get together. The aunts always remembering how we used to be so young.. asking when I'm going to get married.. etc. At least they didn't do the whole pinching "ooh you're losing/gaining weight" bit.

Happy hour and laughs

So tonight Chino and I met up with Marcus at Chevy's for happy hour. We haven't been there for a while and I forgot how the waitress always gives me a weird look for asking for fresh tortillas and butter. Carbs and fat.. how can you go wrong? Well it was nice venting and catching up with him anyhow.

We sadly missed knitting tonight. Sorry everyone!! I'm sure you carried on fine without us.

Went to Open Mic night at Rooster T Feathers in Sunnyvale where Preetz was debuting. Some good laughs overall. Best part of the night was when some comedian asked chino "So where did you get your hello kitty dildo?" and she replies "Its a secret!" LOVED IT. My brother introduced his friend..and did a little song.. kinda embarrassing. It was one of those things where you really need to know Preetz to get all of his jokes. I had some good laughs though... needed it.

All smiles:

Preetz getting his comedy act on:

Vegas baby Vegas!

Oh I'm tired. Vegas can be tiring. Vegas bachelorette party with a dozen hot girls is exhausting. Two nights.. lots of shots.. lots of dancing..limo..wheelchair..the bride-to-be/my future sister in law is a rockstar.

New knitting group

So tonight Chino convinced me to come to a new knitting group with her. This was a yelp group that met up at Pete's coffee in Cupertino a couple months ago. This time they were meeting up at some Korean tea house in Santa Clara.
