Updating lah

While I'm waiting for my builds to finishing *ahem* building, I figured I would entertain myself by blogging. Plus, I bitched to someone about him not blogging and well....he called me a hypocrite. So...here are some highlights of my last month:

1. Went boinkers on my credit card as I went to NYC and PIT. Saw Avenue Q and I cannot stop talking about it (sorry people). SSSOOO good. Everyone should go see it.

2. Went to Jen's wedding in PIT. She made her own wedding dress! Got to see lots of people that I hadn't seen in a while. Every *once in a while* (say, like 4 months or so), I get a small twinge of "I miss Pittsburgh." Guess it really is, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

3. Got myself back into picking up dog poop! Yay! (harhar). Anyway, I finally got certified to walk dogs at SPCA and that makes me happy. Now I just have to find time to get myself certified to go play with some cats.

4. Learned how to drive stick! Where "learned" is used very *very* liberally. I love stalling cars, especially on busy roads where people honk at you afterwards! :\
I was *so* stressed out, I thought I was gonna fall over and die. I was so nervous it was like driving for the first time. Heh. But now, I'm tempted to get a car with a manual. I thought (for some weird reason) it was sexy before, and I still think it anyway. :)

5. I still love my Taiwanese soaps but now I realize that I just like watching the first 1/3 of the series. I start and I get really excited, and then...I stop. I've done that to like 3-4 series already! Wonder if it means something...

And now...I'm done.

Weekend!

I am lazy at work. So I will blog instead. So weekend update:

Friday: Yummy un-authentic Japanese food from Sushi-o-Sushi. I love rolls. I am pretty sure sushi wasn't intended in roll form with things like cream cheese, but whatever. Yum anyway. Could eat there every night, but then I would explode. Went to watch "Step-Up." I like the dancers in "So you think you can dance" more.

Saturday: Sonoma! Went to yummy bubbly place which also served cheese tasting plate. Cheese plate + bubblies = very yum. Then went into the city of Sonoma and drank our way through the city. Even stopped by "The Cheese Factory" to partake in more yummy cheese. Got my fill of Chick-fil-a on the way back b/c WHY WOULD YOU EVER GO TO NAPA AND NOT STOP BY CHICK-FIL-A. Silly. Went to Club Cocomo to get my salsa on. No sketchy guys, it was great! And I didn't have a single drink there. Guess drinking my way through Sonoma kind of put a damper on that, but still. FUN. Learned lots of new and cool moves. Too bad I don't remember them. :P

Sunday: Saw my first ballet production, even if it was outdoors. Went up to city to watch a free outdoor ballet production. We bought bread, cheese, chicken salad, and grapes and made a picnic out of it. Too bad we got there a little later than we should've (20 minutes prior to start) and got kind of not great seats (we were on a hill....and...could not stop sliding down...but still, was nice). Need to go see more ballet now.

I like fun-filled weekends. Next weekend: NYC + Pittsburgh. And my weekend starts on Thursday! SWEET!

vanilla chai latte + shot of espresso.

I am a lover of caffeine.

Dork moment

I never thought I would say this, but: More RAM = happiness.

Boo

I just sliced the crap out of my finger. :(

At least the knife was sharp? Supposedly that means less of a scar.

I hurt. :(

Oh...and I'll get to Mexico (the trip that is), I promise. Too lazy right now.
