I’m in a food coma and getting sleepier by the seconds so I won’t be long. So I had ONE Irish Car Bomb last night, the drinking night with my coworkers. (Details later). Tonight, I had a margarita and one BIG, FAT carnitas taco. Have I mentioned that I LOVE PORK? Especially bacon. And carnitas. And crispy skin roasted suckling pig. And Thai 3-layered crispy pork. And baby back ribs. This Saturday, we are going to a Pig Party where there will be one big pig roasting over open fire. Gotta love the Greeks! Or Filipinos??? (Hmm….Lechón…) Wait, don’t the...

Sometimes you just take things for granted. From this past few days, I have come to appreciate many more things. Here’s the list, not in any particular order. 1. How much fun it is to get into a large box or a plastic storage tub. Exhibit A Exhibit B 2. Even more fun than that is once inside a large plastic storage tub, your friend pushed you at high speed down the aisle in the middle of WalMart. See Exhibit B. With big ol’ Erik behind it.

“Wanna bet we won’t have hot water tomorrow?” said Brandon as we walked pass the apartment’s water heater which was making horrific clunking noises.

Someone’s in a good mood. Me: Sure sounds like it. Girl Next Cube: He must have gotten some. Me: Probably did. Girl Next Cube: [Seconds later, looking at something on the internet.] Oooooh. I want that. Me: You want SOME? Inappropriateness #2 Coworker Lady sneezed loudly. We couldn’t see her but we heard her loud and clear. Yesterday she showed up with a visibly swollen gland on her...

I called my dad this morning. The Okay News With mom, we don’t really have “good news” unless it’s “Cancer is in remission!” They have started my mom on the cancer drug. So far, she felt nauseous the first few days and then back to normal again. The stroke recovery is going very well and she is actually eating on her own…a lot of it. *Phew* When I was over there, they took off her feeding tube to change into a new one and to go down another nostril. Mom fought it and that resulted in the tube being removed...
