The weekend went too fast! Where’d it go? On Sunday, I sat there and had to really think about whether the next day was Monday. When I found the answer, I was deeply disappointed.

Friday evening, Mr. W and I met up with my parents and maternal grandmother for dinner. My grandmother wanted to treat me and my mom to dinner, since Friday was my mom’s birthday and this Friday is mine. *panic* OH my GAWD, I did not realize that I have to flip the number up by one on Friday!!! Holy crap, where did the time go? Soon every time I enter my age on the cardio machines and on the digital scales, I’ll have to put…31! AAACK!! *hyperventillating* So anyway, my grandma gave me a cute little handbag with some Lancome eyeshadow and Victoria’s Secret “Love Spell” body spray, lotion and bath gel. That’s my favorite toiletry scent! What a koinkidink. My parents gave me a tiny golden dragon (my zodiac sign) encased in a small display stand shaped like a rickshaw, and a little glass horse figurine to put at the front of the rickshaw to pull the dragon around. It’s sooo cute. I had fun playing with it as if I were 5 years old. And of course, from both my parents and grandma, the much coveted, omnipresent gift among Chinese circles: red envelopes. My grandma’s contained $60, and my parents’ contained $160, which I was a bit distressed about, because that means they returned every bit of the money I spent on them for running shoes the weekend before.

On Saturday, Mr. W and I took a long walk to go errand shopping. He bought nylon rope to retie his hammock and the Tanita scale, and I bought a larger pot and potting soil for my little avocado tree. Ya know, that’s all I remember about that day. Hmm. Wow. I don’t even recall eating.

On Sunday, Mr. W and I got up bright and early and hit up Disneyland. This would mark our 2nd attempt to go on the new “Finding Nemo” submarine ride. The park opened at 8am, we were there right about that time, and the line for that ride was already 2 hours long. What the heck!! No ride could be THAT good. We decided again to skip it and instead, hopped on the virtually line-free “Indiana Jones Adventure” and “Pirates of the Carribbean” rides. Then we got back to his house, changed and got prettied up and went to his male best friend’s hosted buffet brunch in honor of their son’s high school graduation. I didn’t know that El Torito had buffet brunches, and was pleasantly surprised to find pretty delicious food. Mr. W’s daughter was already at the restaurant when we got there; we hadn’t seen her since his son’s graduation since both kids had been at their mom’s house since. We hugged each other and she exclaimed how pretty I looked, and I told her it’s weird without her around, the house is so quiet. I think I may have accidentally guilted her into coming back home with us that night. So Sunday night, the three of us watched Norbit (it’s sub-par even as a rental, despite the many stars) and ate popcorn after taking Daughter out to practice driving. This was our first time having her drive, and she did pretty well. I’m impressed that Mr. W didn’t yell or cuss, and no one lost their tempers. I’d left 5 or 6 belts on Daughter’s bed from the 80s that had been hiding in my closets so long that they actually came back in style. I’d told her that I was going to donate them along with the rest of the crap I’d cleaned out from my closets unless she wanted them, and she wanted them all. It’s really nice to have a little sister to pass stuff down to.
