1 a.m. and I’m not in bed. Wow. I’m all wired. Partly from 2/3 of a massive blue cheese and bacon burger and fries at Hennessey’s. Too full. Partly from a pint and a half of Bass (Brandon didn’t finish his). Too full-er…and a little buzzed. And why the celebration? I had my performance review. It was stella. And I got a raise. Yey....

I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment with my ophthalmologist next month to follow up on my dry eyes. God, I can hardly WAIT to get back into contact lenses (although I do LOVE my kick ass geeky New Balance transition lenses glasses)! I was going to take the afternoon of June 1 off to take Brandon in for the vasectomy appointment anyway, so I changed my appointment to earlier in the afternoon so I can just take one day off. When I told Nhien about the appointment, this is the conversation that followed: Nhien: So you’re going to...

6:30 a.m. These lushes were hanging out outside the local dive bar. 8:00 a.m. Finally I checked out the picture of the Metro Blue Line crash last night. I would’ve been on that train if I didn’t get a ride home with my coworker. Ouch....

A friend sent me this last week. The FBI had an opening for an assassin. After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done there were 3 finalists. Two men and a woman.

I had dinner with my friends Melissa and Jen last night at Jen’s house. Melissa is a good friend from high school who has moved away to Boonytown, IL after getting married a few years ago. She’s out in the sunny and tornado-free CA for a week to visit her family and friends. So it was good to see her. It was also wonderful to Jen after all these years. You see, Jen was my best friend from high school through college. We were tight. I went with her family on a road trip to visit her relatives in Texas...

I truly am solar powered. I did wake up and leave the house feeling pretty good. Alert and awake. The sun was peaking through the clouds as it made its way up the sky. The weather was crisp. Damn near dancing down the streets to the music on my new favorite MP3 player, Sandisk Sansa. As the bus headed up toward LA, the clouds got thicker and the lights dimmed. The bus was suddenly warm and comfy. And I nodded off. All over the place. As in my head was bobbing back, forward, left and right. And I couldn’t keep...
