Nepali night

I learned how to Nepali food today! Anshu taught me how to make momo, otherwise known as dumplings. Yummmm...

It cost me $35 to fill up my tank of gas today.... a bit depressing... I guess I won't be going home again until my next paycheck.... and until the festival is over... how depressing....

Anyway, back to my Nepali night... I watched Anshu's wedding video, and we (her, her hubby, and I) sang karaoke for a bit, and we looked through her photo albums. It was so much fun! :) It was a good way to cool down after the day I had at work. :)

Oh... and she has the most beautiful artwork adorning her walls... she says she got them in Nepal. So.... one day, I'm going to go to Nepal... and I'm going to buy beautiful artwork for my walls too.

The best part about the night was that I can't remember the last time that I laughed that much in one night... good times :)

magazine photoshoot

Tomorrow's our photoshoot! It has been long anticipated! I'm so excited.... the day has finally come.

I went shopping for their gift bags for most of the day (snuck in some Lunch with Destri! wohoooo!), and then had a festival meeting and then we held a reception for Jimmy Lee (Executive Director for the White House Initiative for Asian & Pacific Islanders... something like that). Got home at 9:30 p.m.

Since I forgot my dinner at work (due to the excitement of a thunderstorm brewing overhead)... so now I've got a bad case of the munchies!

a weekend of fun :)

Yesterday Destri, Ringga, and I had sushi at Waterfront, and it was delicious! We chatted for a BIT, and once our bellies were humming with satisfaction, it was off to the shopping centers! hehehe... and boy did we shop! I spent a significant amount of dinero... that is, I spent more than I normally do! (For all of you who know me too well, I don't typically spend any money!) Once our pocketbooks were considerably emptier, it was off to Jordan Creek for our afternoon snack of ice cream. Good stuff! Anyway, it's been such a long time since I've had a girls' day out; thank you, ladies!!! :)

Today, I woke up, cleaaaaaned, went to a birthday party, ate tons of good food, played with the baby, and then came back to fight for a washer... needless to say, I won. My laundry is now done for the week. Woohooo!

That about sums it all up! Monday is fast approaching.... let the games begin!
(goodnight, folks!)

breaking my own rules

I went out last night... on a weeknight... on a worknight... for shame....shame on me..

But it was oh-so-fun! Since I've moved here, I haven't gone out much, and last night, I was out for a night of salsa! In fact, I even ran into an old friend, Anthony.

I danced the night away... as out of shape as I'm in, people still asked me to dance..

crazaaaay how things work out huh!

a destructive weekend

So, my weekend was great. We decided to go crazy and take apart the kitchen! Just kidding. We're redoing part of our kitchen, which means we had to tear a lot of things apart! Actually, my dad did most of the tearing, and I did most of the watching, assisting, and errand-running. Good times!!



Oh, and if anyone's interested in buying a car, my parents are selling one of theirs. Let me know if you're interested! I think it's going for 6K. Great condition, automatic everything, includes CD player, tape deck, A/C, and.. I'm not sure what other details most people are interested in, but let me know if you have questions!

Hmmm... as for today, I went for a long-needed jog, and just submitted an application to volunteer at the local hospital! Life is good. :)
