It’s Thai New Year. Only a few days after the bloody result of the protest. I don’t think there’s enough water to wash the blood off our hands. (My family is safe, just FYI. As a matter of fact, my dad has developed an unhealthy habit of taking an after-dinner evening stroll out to see the Reds’ activities in Radjprasong. /headhand) Laws should be enforced. I said the same thing when the Yellow Shirts took over the airport. I say it here too for the Reds. I also believe that police and military have all the rights to protect themselves...

Accidental egg consumption! Oh no!!!! Breakfast & Snack: Starbucks decaf hazelnut soy latte. This is what I’d order when I want a breakfast in a cup. The tall decaf Americano with caramel sauce is more of a treat. Fage yogurt with peach. Lunch: Leftover half of bibimbap from Cafe Sura, the only Korean restaurant in Long Beach! Fresh, it came out in the traditional sizzling bowl. Rice gets all crispy in the bottom. You crack a raw egg on it and watch it get cooked. And that’s the part I forgot about the leftover. Half way through I looked down...

The rest of the day I spent baking, mostly. That night, the hubby set me loose to party with my Twitter crew. We threw an early birthday party for @always_blond at @fstop23’s place. The ever gracious host didn’t call off the party when he heard that his daughter-in-law had gone into labor earlier in the day. However, we had contingency plan as to where the key is and...

Oh my friends, I was down and out on Tuesday. I think I might have had a sinus infection or something but I was wiped out. I slept for 12 hours (well, woke up at 5:30 a.m. to realize that I really didn’t have any energy to move), and slept some more during the day, AND then another 8 hours Tuesday night. Came Wednesday morning, I was still pretty wiped out. Oy! So, I didn’t have breakfast on Tuesday… Lunch Homemade “cream” of mushroom soup. Essentially I just throw all of my veggies in a pot: cremini mushrooms, onion, garlic,...

I’ve told you about the 2010 Baby Boom with all the friends and their babies coming in this year. But I don’t think there are enough babies to go around for Easter… On that note, the Boom has begun: March 19: Zachary arrived a little early for J.C. & Erick and Big Brother Joshua. March 24: Chloe arrived a little late for Aurora & James and Big Brother Dresden. March 25: Conor arrived on cue for Irena & Danny, first time parents! Next up… April 17: a girl, first for Lynda & Sean May 27: a girl, first for Olaina...

Breakfast: Starbucks treat: the usual. Small pink lady apple. FREE Starbucks pastry day! So I got a chocolate croissant. .

Girls Scouts’ Thin Mint cookies . Dinner: Wendy’s plain baked potatoes topped with cremini mushrooms sauteed in butter, a little Limoncello, and chives. Fresh & Easy Swiss truffle. A handful of strawberries. Fage yogurt with peach. . Satisfaction level: Low. I don’t know why! I mean, I’ve eaten a lot...
