Happy Dzun-Chio Jieh! (Moon Festival Day)

I just realized that my cell phone is at home. It must’ve been at home since Saturday morning, since I didn’t pick it up to leave yesterday. No wonder it’s been so quiet lately. I think I’m enjoying the fact that no one can get a hold of me right now.
I’ll probably snap at people anyway — I was at WORK for four hours yesterday evening. If that won’t make you cranky, then being at work for four hours doing divorce cases will. >=( The only redeeming thing is that I had wonderful company who volunteered to come along and keep me company. As his laptop played several episodes of one of his favorite TV shows on DVD, he helped me do some of my busy work, i.e. stuffing SASEs w/conformed copies of these annoying litigants’ stupid finalized divorce papers. If he weren’t there I probably would’ve taken an extra hour to do what I got done. I didn’t even have to drag him in! He totally volunteered himself and insisted on helping to ease the stress of my workload, since I am SO annoyed about my stupid divorce cases that I’ve been working on them thru lunch and after work. This is because my supervisor threatened to cancel my vacation unless I get thru the 70-some case load. And I’m not even a family law court! I am actually having psychosomatic symptoms from the family law stress. I won’t go into what those symptoms are. Okay, enough complaining.
After leaving work at 10pm, we went to BCD Tofu House and had a good meal. And a good Asian meal is not complete without a stopover for boba. Unfortunately, I opted for something different — Thai iced tea w/pudding — and he didn’t take to it as much as he did the boba. (I got him into eating boba and hummus. Hee hee. Altho this was his first time with Korean soon tofu, he already liked tofu anyway so it was just a cool little experience for him, not a food preference overhaul.)
Mr. Wonderful is cutting up potatoes to make brunch. I should get off the computer to at least keep him company.
Having potatoes for Moon Festival celebration… em…something novel. Hehe. Is Mr. Wonderful a good cook? *wink*
Haha, I didn’t see it that way. That’s funny. I’m going to meet up w/my parents and grandma this evening for Moon Festival dinner, and I’m sure we’ll have mooncakes.
