TGIF!

3 #1's, 0 #2's... :(

It's only S and me back here at work... K's out today; E was supposed to come in (she went home to the OC for a party) but didn't show. Why am I not surprised? I will NOT stay later than 5 today. Hell no! They can all just fuck themselves!

I think I will make brownies or something for Jane (Saturday) and Melissa (Sunday). I'll make 2 batches. Split w/ Jane's and a whole batch for Melissa, et. al. :P

Dog in a Convertible

I took Ginger on a walk after work today to the Sports Park. She was very good. Probably because it was so hot... she's kinda lathargic. She met a couple of dogs in the park, which I know she enjoys. I think she will always prefer dogs to humans. Oh wells.

After about 40 minutes of walking, Kevin met up with us at the park. He drove straight from work in the convertible. Since we were about 20+ mins away from home, which, yeah, would have been an even nicer walk, it was getting late and just wanted to get home. So, Ginger rode on my lap the whole way home. We were so cute! And she really enjoyed the cool breeze...

Oooohhh YUM!

I'm starting to have a thing for almond croissants... not a good thing... must hit the gym tomorrow for sure!

Today's Order of the Day...

3 #1's and 0#2's... what's up with that?

And what was up with the Glacier Court house at the end with the open shed that kept Ginger fixated??? Bad vibe, man. Bad vibe...

I made my Bart train this morning! Woo hoo! I was practically wheezing (OK, I WAS wheezing!) by the time I found a seat, though. Not a good thing... must bring gym clothes tomorrow to start lunchtime workouts...

Belated Dining Report of TriValley Seafood, Matsusomo, Pazzia, Birley's...

We were: Julie, Daphne, Deborah, Kristen (she didn't eat, though), Ling, Keith's wife (sorry, can't remember her name), Keith, Olivia, Kevin and me...

We ate: shrimp & snow peas, chow fun (YUM! can we go back soon just for this?!), whole chicken w/ green onion & ginger, sauteed scallops, ma po tofu, spare ribs (the yummy red kind, can't remember the gringo name), and of course, white rice. Can't remember what else, but for some reason, I think I might be missing at least 2 entrees.

The wait staff were making fun of us - that we were so Americanized. Apparentely we weren't Chinese enough (we were ALL Chinese! haha!) because we didn't order soup nor fish. Oh wells... Everything was delish! I especially enjoyed the chow fun. I REALLY want to go back for that... ahhh...!

Matsumono... we cooked our own food. I cooked less than the last time. The bacon was goood!

Pazzia... my new favorite Italian restaurant. Went with Araceli for dinner last Monday. I had a spicy sausage pizza. Simple and just about perfect. We also shared a Cesar salad, also very good. For dessert, I had to try their specialty, the tiramisu. Not too sweet. I enjoyed it very much. I can't wait to return!

Birley's... I finally tried the much loved Cuban sandwich. OMG!!!!!!!!! Wow! So that's what I've been missing all this time. Man, am I stupid! I suppose the only good thing that has come out of NOT eating the Cuban is that I've saved myself some calories.

Sunday "Playdate..."

We're bringing Ginger to the Lai's casa so she can have a playdate with Bella... and to try out a potential new toy (or training gizmo... whatever!). SHOCK COLLAR! Oh the poor girl doesn't know what's coming... Hopefully she will take the test run well and it'll help us/her in the training process. Ultimately, I just want her to obey our EVERY command... and with only asking once! I would love to see her off leash greating all of the neighborhood doggies like the social butterfly that she is!

The other reason for the meeting of the dogs is to make sure that they get along for our upcoming camping trip to Lake San Antonio this August! :)
