sometimes, when i'm having a crap day, i'll click thru my bookmarked links and reread this craigslist post. it makes me laugh out loud, really laugh, really loud, because ooohshiet, it's so true, so true.
with that said, another 4 weeks until i'm on the rag again... thk is probably relieved as i was riding his ass (not literally, ew) about wedding crap all last week and hello? did anything get done? even with all that nagging?
nope, not one thing. siiiiiiigh. we suck at party planning. i'm embarrassed to admit that i hate wedding planning, and i hate having to be the bride and make so many decisions. we just want to be married already, who cares about all this wedding crap?! i wish we would have eloped and saved the money for some bomb ass furniture. or a car. or something, anything, more tangible.
maybe that's just pms (post, not pre) talking.
hi hun, whacha doing?
I'm calling my cousin Ramon so we can go to the strip club.
what?
I'm playing GTA and I just got done having sex so now i'm calling my cousin Ramon so we can go to the strip club!
you're ... playing.. video game p0rn?
no! i'm experiencing life as a criminal without actually becoming a real criminal, honey.
ooh. ok, call me when you're done.
and then later, he texts me a video of his game- his character getting a lap dance by some skeezy in a thong and skimpy bra, bending over in front of his face and slapping her ass. sweeeet. interactive video game p0rn. no wonder he's been staying home every night this week! :D
on Sunday, before the release of GTA in stores, thk and I went to church with his parents and then ran some errands. One of our stops included getting gas, rice, and soft serve at Costco.
Costco + Sunday afternoon + Puente Hills area = HELL.
So thk is waiting in line for grub and I'm hanging out with his folks at one of the outside tables. As I go to sit down, a rude ass lady gruffs "EXCUSE ME!" as her, her husband, and her cart full of shit tries to squeeze by me. I moved, immediately. THEN!! THEN!! the skeezey old asian biznatch said "Yeah, you better move your fat ass!"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was shocked! first, her ass was a lot larger than mine. second, I was standing there with thk's parents so i had to supress my first reaction of punching her in her vagina. thk walked up right at that moment and before i had a chance to to say anything, he saw my shocked face and asked what happened.
that... that lady totally was so rude to me!
why?
she said excuse me so i moved and then she said "YEAH, you better move your fat ass!" to me!!
SHE DID? you sure?
yes! what the hell!
and before I knew it, thk had turned on his heels and was jogging towards the lady, her cart, and her husband half way down the street.
dun. dun. duuuuuuuuuun!!!!!!!!
there was a lot of hand gesturing, shrugging of shoulders, and then I saw thk kind of punk her and then she yelled, "OH YEAH! FUCK YOU! YOU SHUT FUCKING UP!*" to thk as he walked nonchalantly back to us. The lady's husband tugged at her arm and started steering their cart to their car.
what the heck was that?!
I wasn't going to let her be mean to you.
what happened? what did she say?
I asked her if she was rude to you and she denied it. I told her that wasn't what you told me, and that she needs to learn how to be more respectful because there wasn't any reason to be rude. Then she started to cuss so I told her "You don't really want to be hit right now!**"
what! oh my gawd, honey!
Then her husband told her to walk away and she kept cussing so I told her- "I don't see him saying anything ...at least my wife has a husband that's willing to stand up for her... what about you?"
!!
then I came back here and she was yelling at me and at her husband for not saying anything to me!
hahhaa!!
BEST.COSTCO.STORY.EVER. seriously, who does that?
later, in the car, thk says to me- hun, we're getting married! if someone is rude to you, I'll fight your fight.
awwwwwwwwwwww. <3 isn't he just the sweetest, ghetto-est, loveliest man ever? :D
*not a typo. she yelled "you shut fucking up!" because she was an older fobby taiwanese chick. biznatch!
**thk is the most nonviolent person you'll ever meet. he's super gentle and kind and sweet and well-mannered and so this statement is totally out of character and he would never hit a lady. or a man. ok, maybe a man, but never a woman even if she was being a total bitch.
my whole life, i rarely washed my face with anything other than water.
and now, when i have to wash off make-up, i use... just water.
so far, so good- i'm totally blessed with having highly tolerant skin.
only when i'm crazy, majorly stressed out will I "break out" and at worst, it's one or two teeny tiny pimples.
lately i've noticed my skin becoming more sensitive and a light smattering of freckles have shown up on my forehead, across my cheeks, on my nose. hmmm. maybe i should have worn some sunblock during all those years of swim team and water polo. hmmm.
this past week hasn't been particularly stressful but my right cheek has been slightly rashy/bumpy. maybe it's because i passed out fell asleep without washing my face on Friday night after this:
damn frosting is effing up my skin!
can someone recommend a good skin cleanser? I'm looking for <$50, something that will leave my skin soft and moistorized, and can help my skin look more glowy before August.
I already own/rarely use shu uemura's cleansing oil , Shiseido Pureness Cleansing Foam, and Bliss Steep Clean Cleanser. do you use anything better you'd like to recommend?
LT took this pic. haha. i'm embarrassingly drunk.
proof you had the best birthday of all effing time:
thk's parents give me a nice bday gift and what do i do? that's right, i coat it with chocolate cake.
my lower right backside is still tender as hell. :(
Dr. future-lilbro says it "sounds musculoskeletal meaning either muscle strain/bruise" after i texted him all my symptoms. His advice was to "get on your stretch grind"... it totally made me giggle because seriously, thk and dr.lilbro are so not gangster but they totally used to be gangster. they still think they are so gangster but how can that be?! they're just so awesomely wholesome and i can't imagine them rapping at the school talent show (in college!) wearing their sean john velour jumpsuits (HAHAHHAHA!) and writing/recording rap tapes in their homemade studio (a closet with foam taped on the walls to create better sound, HAHHAHA!).
during Dr.lilbro's christmas break visit, thk did something retarded (i forget what exactly but it could have been a plethora of things) and I looked at dr.lilbro and said, "dude. I can't believe I'm with this guy." and Dr.lilbro replied- "man, don't forget.. you're signing up for liiiiife."
he laughed. i didnt.
this past weekend, while we were making paper flowers, thk's dad and i started talking about food and expiration dates and if you know me at all, you know that i am anal about tossing things the DAY they expire. I don't care if it's not open, i'm not eating that crap. thk's family, though... sigh. when we first started dating, i asked for mayo for my sandwich at lunch time (thk told me to look for it in their cupboard...should have been the first clue) and found not only a dark yellow, half-used jar of mayo in the back of a cupboard, not refrigerated, but it had expired almost 4 months prior. ewww!
now, every time i go over to his house, i toss crap out of their fridge, but only in secret because his family doesn't throw anything away, not even lunch meat that expired 12/07. ewwww! EWWWWW!!
so i'm saying something about eggs, how they expire, how you should throw them away after a couple of weeks, and thk's dad says to me- expiration dates were only created for the benefit of producers. food doesn't expire! they just put dates on them so you'll throw away perfectly good food and spend more money to replace it! Eggs don't expire! You can always eat them! Canned food doesn't ever expire, that's why they're in cans!
:T
thk nodded in agreement until i shot him the look.
signed up.
for life.
haha.. ha... heh... *sob*
can someone get me one of these!??
Birthday tradition- the three of us get together for dinner and spend hours gabbing. with jane in law school and prepping for the bar/her own wedding and grace globe trotting for work- she's in mexico today and heading to China again for two weeks tomorrow after having just returned from China and San Francisco, these 3x/year guaranteed meet-ups are priceless.
i had an incredible scallop salad to start, the suckling pig with risotto, and finished it off with the best.panna.cotta of all time complete with blood oranges and champaigne sauce. mmm. soo good. thank you girls for treating me to such a fantastic meal!
After treating me to two private birthday dinners and one birthday dinner with his folks, thk got together with our friend Will to throw me and Will's ladyfriend Kelly a joint birthday party. What was supposed to be a small group of friends getting together for drinks ended up being a full blown table-serviced club-fest with over 30 friends and cake (and some pregaming in the parking lot out of kelly's trunk all collegeghetto style, heh)!
(these photos are out in order. i mean, i wouldn't start out the night drunk and licking ass, right?) it was the best birthday party of my life and i was so grateful to have so many of my good friends come and celebrate with me. the best thing about the whole thing was how loved i felt- grace showed up even though she had to be jetting off to yet another country the next morning, letisha came all the way from playa del rey and totally brought the party in her handbag, and thk made sure Kelly and I had a drink in hand all night long.
this is my last year celebrating my birthday (technically) single and thank god, right? because how fantastic is it to know that for the rest of my life, i get to celebrate my birthday, and every other day, with steve? soo fantastic.
my days of dancing on tables (and falling off of them) and drinking until my liver aches (and it still does. stupid, i know) may be numbered but I don't think I'll ever get over hearing about random "wtf happened after we left?!" stories that include walking out on the bill at denny's at 3am, checking into the motel 6 after you realize everyone left you behind and your phone battery has died so you can't call anyone, calling an escort to your room "only to use her TMobile phone" and finding your sim card won't fit into your phone, and $850 charges on your cc the next morning... haha!
We took care of a lot of wedding to-do items on Saturday, including picking out linens, place settings, tableware, table sizes and shapes, as well as attended our first food tasting session at our venue.
I was a little worried that the mandatory caterer for the venue would suck ass but other than the crap crab cakes, everything else was pretty delish. I think we're going with the phyllo wrapped chicken with spinach and tri tip for saturday night's reception.
Allowing me to sleep in on Sunday morning,
thk got up early to let the dogs out,
change my brake pads,
check my oil and fluids,
find a nail in one of my tires and fix it with a tire plug
rotate my tires,
pick me up a spare tire since I’d been driving around without one for the past 4 months,
and wake me up to a deluxe breakfast from McDonald’s.
seriously.
And then, after all that, I yelled at him, just a little, when he didn’t line up the template perfectly with the patterned paper for our wedding invitation envelope liners because I’m an anal ass.
Want me to help you?
Yes!
How do you do this?
You line this corner right here with this corner right here, then you trace this template like this, making sure to get two complete patterns above this line and three patterns below this line, like this…
Like this?
No.
Like this?
No. like this.
Like this?
NO! GOD!!
Honey, how about if we go in the living room and I’ll sit behind you and watch tv while you work and give you moral support?
Ok.
And after that was done, thk, his parents, and i spent the rest of the night folding tissue paper flowers a la martha stewart. I read the directions online incorrectly and thk's pops figured out how to make the flowers correctly. hehe.
i'm pooped but it's monday and back to the daily grind. :)
my bestestestestseststsst friend just got engaged and i've never been so happy for someone else, ever. YAY! we're gonna be boring married people together!! i'm so happy, it's as if i just got engaged or something. haha.
we were at the gym when i got the phone call this morning from Christine. I yelled out, while lifting free weights, YOU ARE FUCKING SHITTING ME!!! and jumped up and down. thk looked super excited and stopped lifting and looked at me to share the news... CHRISTINE GOT ENGAGED!! RYAN PROPOSED!! i yelled... and accidentally hung up on Christine. thk just replied, oh.
wtheck? i didnt have time to talk to him as i had to call christine right back.
later, while taking a dip in the jacuzzi, thk asks me for details. I ask him why he doesnt seem excited and he says-
i thought you were excited because we won the lotto. i'm happy for christine but for a few seconds, i thought we won the lotto!
haha! nerd.
YAY! i love christine and ryan. so happy for you guys!
alby: I love your wedding announcement so much
Auto response from pearjelliwork: I am away from my computer right now.
alby: they make me want to get fridge magnets
heh. yay! people are starting to get their stds but for some reason, a lot of them have been delayed. boo. why is it taking one whole week?! ugh.
thank you, sarah, for letting me full on bite your stds. everyone thinks i'm fabulously creative for it!
paper + brads, stamp, ink, embossing powder, embossing tool, extremely sore thumbs from stamping so many pieces of paper, , a shitload of photo strips, mailing stickers, and let's not forget the most important part- yoda stamps...taa daa!
there were two versions- one that said the above for friends, and another with just our names for the family+coworkers. :) you can see both on my flickr.
