A row of what I think are jasmine bushes underneath our bedroom window have bloomed for the past few weeks. I didn’t know the neighbor apartment has such plant. I mean, I haven’t smelled it since we moved in, I don’t think. The first time I caught a whiff of this season’s bloom though, I thought to myself… “Mom’s visiting.” It didn’t help that the first time, I was the only one who caught the scent. Brandon was a bit too far away from the window to smell anything. You see, one of mom’s favorite flowers are what Thai people...

I may hide my extra 5 lbs. gain well. But when none of my 3 pants-suits and 2 skirt-suits fits, it’s a sign. My expanded hips, strangely, interferes with the length of my pants.

Now my Asian J-Lo butt fills in to the pants so they fit correctly. However, my length of the pants are affected. They are all too short for any non-sneakers/flipflop shoes...

My Vista weather-a-mabob said it’s 82F outside. My hair still damped from a shower half and hour earlier when I stepped outside to take out the trash at 2 p.m. I walked out, down the steps, around the courtyard, through the 6-car parking lot, dumped the trash and reverse the route.

I am zapped. Long, early start this morning with an event in Long Beach. Slipped a little bit in my new boots and now my bad ankle is swollen. Crazy rest of the day in the office as the bosses are getting ready to take off the next two days to do an executive powwow off site. P-a-r-t-a-y!!! Just kidding. I can’t even try to do that with the amount of stuff I have to catch up on since this morning event took over my life this past week. Treated myself to a “Chinese Reflexology Massage” at Red Persimmon, a...
