Drupal Camp LA weekend was AWESOME. I hung out with Annette and Nick from Twitter and Matt from my dot com days. Meanwhile I met new people and made some new friends and found some new people to follow on Twitter. And yes, I learned a TON about Drupal and got myself signed up with both LA and OC Drupal Groups. I can hardly wait to get going with my first site. Well, I kinda did…but not really. LOL. Need a full geeky weekend, I tell ya. UCI Engineering quad is an awesome venue for what we had (despite the...

So you’ve wondered where I”ve been? Around, actually. Quite a little bit. I suffered a bit of an eating injury on Sunday. Yes, you read that correctly. An. Eating. Injury. Tuesday, I spent the afternoon at the Walt Disney Concert Hall and had great bonding moments with my D40. Today, my little humble food blog, HmmFoodGood, got noticed by some OC folks and nominated for “You’ve Just Been Spotted” award for food/cooking blog at Just-Spotted.com. Hop on over to either place and vote for HmmFoodGood, won’t you? We just don’t want to crawl in last, is all. 😉 And now,...

Within one week I have been to a cooking demo and wine tasting with a gaggle of girls, to hanging out with furry police dogs, to sitting in a funeral service. Thursday got me into a fun evening sponsored by Fresh&Easy. Always love it when you put girls together in a room and let the wine flow. 🙂 Sunday got me into the Orange County Police Canine Association show at the Orange County Fair. If you remember, I go to one of these every year in the fall to support our friend Steve and his canine Lycos. This year, they’ve...

I was putting the laundry in the washer yesterday, an automatic motion I usually don’t think about much any more. Coins in. Water runs for a few seconds. Add soap. Let water run some more. Add laundry. A thought popped into my head. “When was that first time you used the washing machine?” I grew up in Thailand in a household full of service staff. In the 3-attached home complex, 3 families, each with its own maid, shared a cook, a groundskeeper, a laundry lady, and a driver. Pretty much everything has always been done for me. The cooking. The...
