Early Valentine's Day

We celebrated Valentine's Day a little early this year. Hubby's schedule has been a little crazy with the switching of days to nights to days to nights....that I just wanted to make sure we spent some quality time together, so I suggested we have some dinner over the weekend instead of Monday when we would have to rush home from work and try and go out where we would likely run into a huge crowd.

As I just returned from a business trip overseas this past week, it seemed only fitting to spend Saturday night with hubby. Hubb and I usually make a huge deal out of our celebrations but this year we decided not to make a big deal out of Valentine's. Instead we spent the day at Disneyland trading, had a nice lunch, took a good nap, then we traded Vinylmations (he had bought some for me and I had bought some for him) and finally, had a really great meal at our favorite restaurant, Cafe Was.

The evening was simple yet perfect. Everyone has different opinions on Valentine's Day (mainly its too commercial) but if you take it for what it was meant to be, aka celebrating your affection for another person, I think, commercialism aside, it's a fun holiday because you are remembering the person who means the most in our life. This year, there were no cards nor chocolates, just a few favorite things...our vinyls, which we have been having fun collecting together and good food. Instead of chocolate, we had champagne cocktails and beinegets w/ cinnamon and chocolate sauce. Overall a really nice night!

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

So Proud

I have yet to bear children so I am not sure what its like to be proud of your kids but I do have this "kid" at work that I am extremely proud of this week. Three years ago, when I first transferred to my current studio due to "the merge" I was one of two people who made up the international marketing team. I am sure many of you remember me complaining how crazy I was. Anyhoo, during that time when we were setting up our team, this young girl walked into my office to interview for the internship position I was hiring for. I have been working with interns for as long as I can remember and before that, I worked with young kids at movie theatres. In all my years and in all those kids I had never met a person like the girl who walked into my office that day. It took all of two seconds for me to know she was talented and she was a star. After meeting with her I called off all the other interviews and told HR to hire her. She was a rock star intern! Later when w...
