Weekend of small happy moments, mixed with small traumatic events.
Some of the highlights of the weekend:
-Dad got back from Taiwan on Friday night. I visited them both my dad and my brother today and had lunch with them.
-We saw Tony Bennett at the Hollywood Bowl. TONY BENNETT! Woot
-Spending time with David K who was nice enough to come with me to my company picnic since Yoshi outright refused to go.
-Watching Racing Stripes with Yoshi off the Netflix queue.
-Preparing my postcard list. Our list is well over 66 right now.
In no particular order, here are some of the minorly traumatizing things from my weekend:
-Exorbitant gas prices
-Shopping for wedding clothes and general Hawaii-appropriate apparel. Did I mention I can't stand shopping for clothes? (On the bright side, I finally know what I'm going to wear to the wedding now.)
-Attending the company picnic. I don't like seeing my co-workers "out of context" and I don't like nature. I ate lots of junk food (chili dog bar!) and sat in the shade.
-Visiting grandma and all she could do was grab me tightly and grunt. I wanted to cry.
-I had another bout of insomnia Saturday night. Didn't go to sleep until past 4:30 am. Couldn't get up in time to get back to OC at the time I wanted.
-Stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 5 for over an hour while my Dad wouldn't shut up about topics that always cause us to argue. I felt like throwing up.
-Had to return the Lexus. Worried that my Dad is going to drive as if he's still in Taiwan.

for the record, no, i don't like chili dogs. but i refused to attend the company picnic because it was 1) a picnic 2)outdoors and 3)full of people and children i didn't know. if you didn't already know, i'm antisocial and i am allergic to outdoors.
and joz, i'm sorry some events were traumatic this weekend. and i'll try not to yell about your dad anymore (even though you know he can't hear me).

Tony is the best old guy singer. That is impressive to me.
Love Tony!!

Yoshi didn't want to go? What, Yoshi doesn't like chili dogs? A chili dog bar sounds, well, heavenly.
