This summer, I have done the following:

• Karen & I danced at Alameda's Obon
• Dim Sum at the Hong Kong Lounge with Thuy, Michael, Ariel, Thuy's brother & niece
• Had my 27th annual celebration breakfast of surviving the first six months with the City
• Family Vacation
• Seen Theatreworks' The Confederates

Day started out with Keoki-chan calling me at EXACTLY 8am to ask if I wanted to go to breakfast (aka take THEM out for breakfast). He knows that he's not supposed to call me before 8am, so he's been timing it just so ( Read more... )

"A's name Mike Gallego third base coach"

Yay! He's one of my favorite players. Maybe I'll finally get his baseball card signed. =)

Friday afternoon, given a choice between going to Kyle's soccer practice and going to chill at Auntie Debbie's, Alani chose Auntie Debbie's. As I had to work, she was quite happy with watching Davey and Goliath, followed by Bambi. She had a bag of popcorn all to herself, a drink and a few gummy worms. G and Kyle ran late, so she had tofu and ( Read more... )

Da Evil One has started me watching Buffy again. I had not watched seasons 6 & 7 - so we've gotten all the way through the musical. (Have to practice - we're going to the Buffy Singalong next Friday!) Now that I've seen all the stuff leading up to the musical - boy does it make a lot more sense ( Read more... )
