Sunday Night Recap

This will be the post with the most camera captures yet! It is necessary to get the full picture (no pun intended) of the weekend that was.

First Ray was delayed at work and did not make it home until around 2pm. We cancelled our dinner plans at Sumo’s and opted instead for PF Chang’s. On our way there huge black smoke was spotted just half a block southeast of the Auburn Hills golf course. Ray took spics while I passed by. I guess the fire was just recently spotted because we passed the fire trucks, police cars, and ambulances on the way to Kellogg.

PF Chang’s was packed as always. We weren’t seated until 15 minutes past our reservation time but it was all worth it. We had our usual entree with the Chicken Lettuce Wrap appetizer. I was stuffed before the fortune cookies ever hit the table.

After Chang’s we went to Liquid and played the pseudo Megatouch machine by the bar, which Adina tried to steal.

Saturday was Carla’s Birthday party. It was our first time at their house and we got lost. We actually sat our car in the street until Ching and Brian got there and followed them to the house.

Paul spent the entire day preparing Thai cuisine, which was way too much for everyone there. We were all full and unable to leave our chair before the actual four or five entree were even garnished. Three different appetizers, about four different entrees, and two different desserts. The worst part was that they were all so good I couldn’t admit I was full and I ate more than I would normally eat in an entire week. And I eat A LOT!

We also bonded with their dogs, Endo and Chewie. They are so absolutely mellow and cuddly, even Ray bonded with them. Carla made us take the pet compatibility test and we have both agreed on a Shiba Inu. Not quite sure if Ray has agreed on letting me have a puppy but I will definitely have one eventually, regardless.

The rest are taken by Ching with her camera phone:

So there it is and I’m sure this is going to make a fairly long blog. I have to head to bed and get an early start tomorrow. The agenda goes as follows:

• Orientation
• Buy two more books
• Start reading assignments for all four classes
• Send off vocational forms for all four classes
• Install software needed for all four classes
• Get started on all assignments due
• Sort out all my stuff (i.e. clothes, paperwork) that have accumulated in my car from living in two different houses at once
• Plan the week ahead

Fun stuff! Yet, I’m grateful. Now more than ever, everything seems to be falling into place. I landed an awesome job, I’m succesfully knocking out courses I need to get my degree, I finally got a book published, and I have an awesome support system of family and friends. (And I always look good regardless of the scene or situation =P) There’s really nothing left to ask for. Except maybe a Shiba Inu, oh, and a pic of that to end the blog would be fitting. ‘Til next blog.
