Flight of the Oak

Tonight’s the night! Off I go, flying straight through to Bangkok. 12-nish hour flight that seems to be minimizing the jetlag going that way. I leave around 11 p.m. getting there 7 a.m. Thursday morning. If I sleep through, I’d be good to go. Gotta love it! I hope to be able to blog here and there during the trip. Well, if my brother would let me use his laptop at home. Heehee. (Are you reading this, bro??) See you from the other side of the world!...

We have lift off

The apartment we looked at the other day? Ours. We move in the 15th, paying half month rent and half security deposit. The Pirate’s Dinner Adventure show? Fun. Although our red pirate Jack didn’t win a goddamn thing. I participated in one of the pirate challenge–we were assisting our pirate–but one broad on our team didn’t know how to raise a flag so Jack lost. That mangy wench! Anyhoo. It was a lot of fun. The suitcase going home? Packed. Feeling a bit like a drug dealer as the content of bag is composed of mostly vitamins and Tylenol Allergy...

Woof!

Happy New Year! 🙂 It’s been an exhausting day. We started out the morning slow with the usual routine of Brandon playing games and me watching Food Network In the Kitchen. Brandon’s friend Eric came over and we went out for Thai food at Kapao Thai. An exact repeat of last week. Gosh, I love their food. We’re changing our Thai food joint after finding out through Brandon’s friends of the family that the original owner of The Treasure Pot, where we’ve been going to for 4 years, opened a new restaurant. Yeah. We ate at Treasure Pot for 4...

Friday is a punny day!

Celeste and I are working on a directory of our investors. She compiles the thing. I format it. We hit a little snag when one of the investors, Jack, has 2 email addresses that are essentially the same. With just that one extra line, I couldn’t fit 4 profiles in a row. Celeste: Well, I called Jack and he said to use the first email address. Me: Okee dokey. *deletes the other email address* Ahh…see that looks better now. Yey! Celeste: See? I was that one line that jacking us up. Me: *snort* *giggle* Celeste: What? … Oh....

Briefly before I go *snap!*

Yesterday, we celebrated the first meeting of 2006 for my office’s Alcoholic Unanimous group. Pretty much me and a few other coworkers conjured up a core group to drag everyone with us for a monthly happy hour outting. Today, we celebrated the first meeting of 2006 for our girl’s night out dinner. That’s me and 5 other girls who have all become friends through our husbands/boyfriend. Today, also, I just finished an apartment application for a place in Los Alamitos. Also, signed the 30-day notice to our current landlord. There’s a good chance we’d have to eat next month’s rent...
