Athena popped in for a bite. She spent a good 15 minutes after that getting some love from me and Brandon and exploring our place. Keep in mind, this is NOT really our cat. Can you imagine what this blog would turn into when we have our own kittens? LOL. And for the host… Nutella + Strawberry = Awesome. Wish I could add red wine to these fantastic flavors, but I didn’t think my other dinner guest would agree. That other guest is the antibiotics…which I was instructed to take with food. Yes, my darlings. I am back on yet...

Southern California weather today is perfect for Songkran. Blazing hot. And sunny. A freaky couple of days of summer weather here just in time to go splash somebody and welcome the new year. 🙂 The closest I’m going to get to that is going to be when I wash my car this afternoon. Hahah. By the way, check out my Songkran line of clothing. $1 of your purchase will go to Thai Red Cross....

Good lord. How could a cold kicked my ass for THREE days! I did go to work this morning, having felt peachy when I left the house. But then there was the waves of fever that never quite broke. There was higher and lower fever. No break. I just sat there, staring at my monitor, not registering anything. I believe I got some stuff done and sent some emails. That much I remember. My head hurt, then went numb. Like my brain was floating inside an oven I called my skull. By the time I felt my face flushing, I...

That little scratch in my throat knocks me on my butt for two days with headaches, fever, and cough. Go figure. A lady approached an Army reservist in his camouflage uniform, patted him on the back and said, “Thank you for defending our country.” He replied, “Yes, ma’am.” How much better you feel when you give in to what your body is calling for. In my case, it’s the made from scratch chicken soup. I dragged myself to the store yesterday and forced myself to stay somewhat awake through the afternoon to babysit a giant vat of soup. Why putting...

People who drive in the fast lane on the freeway going at the speed limit while everyone else is going faster AND won’t get over to let faster traffic pass. Same people in the carpool lane with a dozen cars stuck behind them AND won’t get over to let faster traffic pass. Self proclaimed health nuts who looked down upon you for enjoying bacon and butter but they go out to tan in midday sun without sunscreen. Same health nuts going all organic and fat-free but drink like alcoholics. Scientology. My former work place. Occasionally, my current work place. Extremists...

Saturday at the El Dorado Nature Walk with the boys, Brandon and Erik. We also got into a little bit of a public art project. As I was coming home the past week, I noticed there were these flat, wooden stakes duct-taped to a few lamp posts along the road. I wondered what they were for so I asked Brandon when we drove by. The most logical explanation is that these were parts of political campaign signs. Folks just removed the paper part and not taking off the rest. Brandon said jokingly, “Maybe somebody needs to protect themselves against vampires...
