They are never our plans

It all started with a wedding invitation. I was invited to my coworker Candice’s wedding. Not wanting to drag Brandon along, I asked my friend Nora. But since the Anaheim Ducks won the Stanley Cup, they were throwing a celebration on the same night. Nora would never ditch me out right but the moment she mentioned it, I told her to ditch me anyway. Who am I to stand between my best friend and her favorite team! 🙂 So, going to the wedding solo. I can do that. I’d be among friends anyway. But then, I woke up with a...

Day of rest

After a super productive Saturday, Brandon and I holed up in our apartment for a day of rest. Yesterday, with the one oven, I baked 10 dozen of cookies (the batters yielded 2 dozen and 3 cookies more than I needed for the AIDS Walk order), and made a fantastic dinner of Roman-style chicken and roasted potatoes.

Survived

Night One without Brandon?  Totally sucks. I stayed up as late as I could to get sleepy enough to sleep through the night.  Of course, the F-Bombers next door would decide to have late drinking night.  Fortunately, they weren’t loud but the made enough noise to startle me at 1:30 a.m.  I kept waking up here and there after that. *sigh*...
