Life is like a box of chocolate..you never know what you're gonna get.

great MMW minus the sluggish feeling. 

on our way back from Fresno, I decided to stop and take the kids to The bass Pro Shop.  They loved it of course.  So many great things I would buy if I wasn't on a budget.

today, I tried to check in with my MD on the drugs I'm taking but the office was closed.  wtf? It was 3:30 in the afternoon.  I'm starting to get annoyed at their office hours.  Can't ever get a hold of them. 

on a happier note,
it's a little over than a week until Vegas.  I'm excited!  SOLD OUT event it is.  I hate the fact that I'll have to work the next morning after we return though.  no time to recover.

only 3 more days until the weekend.  No plans, just want to relax.

did I mention someone stole my Asian broom and dust pan?  it is nowhere to be found and I am pretty sure i left it on the patio.  Who in the world would want that?  Weird!!

Good morning weekend!!  I'm so glad I have no plans other than tiger ready for Vegas. I was going to complain about how I forgot to turn off my alarm and it woke me up at 7am this morning but why a beautiful morning it is!!  All the windows are open and I got up to clean my apt and make breakfast.  Life is good!

I was going thru pictures on my laptop and oh boy the things you find when you dig deep.  Found some pictures of myself and friends back in 2002-2003.  Love the good times!!

Here is one of when I was 22. 
What was I thinking? Lol

This is a recent one at 32.  How time has changed me.  Living with no regrets and learning from experience has definitely made me a better and stronger person today.  I may not have everything I've ever wanted but I sure do have what I need.  My adventure does not stop here.  I have a lot more to accomplish in the next 10 years of my life. Some great milestones for my children!  I am so excited just thinking about it. 

Have an awesome weekend!

It is your perception of the adventure that makes it worthwhile.

Therefore, explore the mind of yours in yourself.

Gear up. That's an adventure worth living.

Recovering from Vegas is a haha.

Working this weekend.  I dont' mind working just one day of the weekend but when I have to work both saturday and sunday, it really sucks.  I'm glad it's slow today.

Vegas was awesome.  We didn't have time to do anything other than EDC.  Getting to and from the event has horrible.  3-4 hours in traffic is not ok.  The only night it took us 30 minutes was Saturday but we left early because the stages were closed due to high winds.  Other than that, it was an amazing experience.

This week has been slow.  I had Wed and Thurs off.  I finally got a chance to visit Penny and baby Kazoua.  She is so precious!  It really makes me want another.  She's a really good baby and can actually sleep thru a lot of noise. 

On Thurs, Tee and I went to SF.  We needed beach therapy.  It was cold but not as cold as Santa Barbara!  For some reason, we saw the potties being transported away and of course I would need to use it.  I'm glad I wore my bikini bottoms because my last option was to pee in the ocean.  The water really wasn't as cold as I thought.  We had pho before coming home and it was alright.  Had to make Tee drive home because I was not just tired, I was VERY tired.  I slept most of the way.  Got home, showered, and went to bed.

I've been sleeping early this whole week.  Maybe I just don't want to think about things.  I wanted to clean my car yesterday but I fell asleep right after I ate dinner.  I didn't even wash the dishes! Oh lord, what is going on?

Thought I'd share a little of my 2012

Celebrating another year of life April 2012



Watching the sunrise at EDC Las Vegas



Love these folks!



San Francisco's Ocean Beach June 2012



A cute little windmill across the street



Therapy. 



Camping at Edison Lake June 2012



Very proud of our brown and rainbow trouts



The water has gone down but still love it

[superchick]

I've never felt so indecisive!  I feel like a fat kid in a bakery store!  I want cake but just a slice, cupcake but only the frosting, tiramisu and pumpkin pie, and don't forget the pastries.  What to do, what to do.  Plan A: wait it out and maybe it will narrow down to one.  Plan B: Ee Nee Mi Nee Mo.  Plan C: I don't have a plan C yet

[superchick]

Oh where should I start..

I felt my brakes go out on Friday when I arrived to work.  I've been putting it off for awhile and need it fixed asap.  I drove to Tee's house Friday evening so I wouldn't have to drive home anb back since my BIL would be fixing it on Sunday.  Today is Sunday and it's not fixed.  I don't even want to talk about it.  It's Sunday, brakes are not fixed, and I will deal with it.  I have Wednesday off so this will be my no. 1 priority. 

Had a Girls Night party at my cousin's house on Saturday and it was alright.  The theme was animal print but since I helped her cook and cleaned the pool I wasn't in the mood to dress.  There was no time to shower and do make-up so I just stayed in my swim shorts and tshirt. There was a lot of liquor and drinks.. but no beer.  I lost count of the malibu pineapple and champagne.  All I could think about was how HOT it was so of course, I jumped in the pool a couple times.  I spent the night there and of course woke up to eat and clean.




Anyhow, I think I should consider grey contacts!!

On my day off and anxiety strikes.  Bad may be getting worse.  Had to ask myself if I am the real me.

Decided to start on therapy.. And hoping for positive response. *crossig fingers* I'm tired of sweating my ass just doing my hair. 

Really miss my big babies. Cannot wait until they come home. 

For you readers: ppl say wait for the right moment.  What if the right moment never comes?

The moment comes when u least expect it. And don't worry about where, who, or when.

it just does...

Just accidentally deleted my entire post! 

Lately, I've been really annoyed about all sorts of things.  But at the end of the day, I know who I am and what I'm about.  IDGF and I shouldn't.

Been trying to get out lately and it's kind of working. haha.  City of Angels this weekend.  Wasn't really thinking about it but I'm excited now.  Love that place.

a couple weeks ago, the girls and I had dinner and went beer tasting.  Really wasn't planned but we ended up at Kasbah Lounge.  It was great! Almost didn't make it home.  Rolling out of bed in the morning was hard!

Almaza from Lebanon, efes from Turkey, and Brekle's from San Francisco.



the Duvet is 8.5% and totally forgot the other.



Alhambra from Spain and Kotayk from Armenia



Kotayk (Arminian) and Genesis (Hebrew)



Dark Efie from Turkey



Pendogg had mussels too.



Aug is a very busy month but will smile all the way thru.  Glad my one year is coming up because I can sure use some vacation days! 

[superchick]

Is it time to go home yet?!!   

[superchick]

I've come back to write a few times but always ended up deleting everything I wrote.  I'm not sure where to begin since there are so many things on my mind.

Let's start with family.  Having moved from home has allowed me to miss my family.  I knew from the start it would be good for me.  I don't have to be the messenger or be caught in the middle or have to put up with mean people.  The boys are resilient but I know they miss having family a short drive away.  I'm glad they got to spend the entire summer with them. 

The boys are growing so fast. It feels like yesterday we were just driving back and forth to SF for immigration court. Both of them still in car seats. Each year they've grown a little taller and a little more like me. I can still remember them watching TV on mute because I was sick and sleeping on the couch. They always asked me if I was okay and if I needed water. Last year, both of them entered middle school. It still hard to believe these two little boys have turned into teenagers. How lucky am I that they are still genuinely sweet and caring. How fortunately they still tell their mama I love you and have a good day at work. I am lucky they get my jokes and want to hang out. So I should give them more credit for being so amazing and perhaps understand a little more of what's going as a growing boy. Tonight I give them answers. Tonight I will discuss the topic I've been preparing for years. Tonight, I will to talk to them about sex and the consequences such they will endure when they catch crabs, AIDS, herpes, and have babies. God help me sound serious when I give my speech.

I'll be back.

I'm so excited autumn is here.  I love the weather and the colors.  I would say goodbye to summer bu its still 100 degrees tomorrow. Lol!!  The adventures never end.. wine tasting with friends was nice. If we werent so tired from the night before we would have tried another.  Thought I'd share some photos of Robert Mondavi Winery.















My favorite sushi place in Sac - Saporro Grill




Went back to see my orthopedic and it looks like my foot is not healing properly.  I guess I should have used my crutches. darn. worse case is I have surgery and they put pins in so I am wearing my boot religiously hoping it heals before I go to New York.

[superchick]

I'm so tired of wearing this darn cam boot!!  It's heavy and hot!!  Looking for the day I won't need to wear it ever again.

I took a last minute trip to Utah to see my grandma. This was an eye opening trip and has made me think of what's really important in my life.  Can't explain how nice it was seeing my Thao family.  I truly did not want to leave.    

also want to thank my drivers bootee and gigolow!!  Counld've have gotten to Utah without you.
