Pray for another mom

Guys. Please help us pray for Justin’s mom Toni. She is in and out of the ICU at Long Beach Memorial Hospital at the moment. Justin is Brandon’s best friend. His wife, the lovely Olaina blogged about the entire story here first, then here (2), here (3) and here (4). Justin is SUPERMAN. Seriously. His mom has been ailing for sometimes. Justin is the foot amputee Marine veteran currently in 3rd year medical school whose wife has been hospitalized in the past few years and is still adjusting. And he still keeps going. Seriously. If he’s not Superman, I don’t...

Places I’ve been

The journey of this long weekend took me a lot of places I’ve never been before. Friday was a lot of driving and running around. The adventures at the Thai Consulate somehow resulted in these interesting shots… …and a trip to the Grove. I have never walked into the Grove that far…or during the day. Last and first time I was there, we were out drinking a night and didn’t venture deep into the place. Saturday was also a lot of driving and running around. The tea party in Sierra Madre for coworker Candice was a lot of fun. I...

Is that a hole in the back of my head?

A 5 foot tall, 100 lbs. not-ugly and somewhat in shape Asian in a strapless flower-printed A-line knee length dress waltzing into a Babies-R-Us filled with moms to be and moms who haven’t quite lost their baby weight yet was probably a bad idea. I never felt so hated in my life! The death stares and fiery glare probably left some heat damage on my new salon cut hair. Yeah. I think I might have just asked for it a little bit too much there. Heh. (Why was I in a pretty pink dress prancing through a baby store? Well,...

A Whole Lotta Not Much

I didn’t go to work today. But I felt like I might as well have done it and I wouldn’t be as tired! This morning I had my physical. I wrote the time down wrong, so I unknowingly showed up 30 minutes after my appointment. So, here I was, sitting in the cold room in paper gown waiting for good 20 minutes when someone came in to tell me about my mistake and that I would have to wait for my doctor to finish with other patients. At least she had a decency to turn on a space heater for...

Sing…sing a song

Sing. It’s good for your health. To lift my mood, I turn to those crazy Brits. Always look on the bright side of life. [whistle] Always look on the light side of life. [whistle] If life seems jolly rotten, There’s something you’ve forgotten, And that’s to laugh and smile and dance and sing. When you’re feeling in the dumps, Don’t be silly chumps. Just purse your lips and whistle. That’s the thing. And… Always look on the bright side of life. [whistle] Always look on the right side of life. Everybody now!
