Hellooo August! How YOU doing?

Its been pretty chaotic at the house, mostly because we just installed new windows, french doors, some lights, and a ceiling fan here in the office. It's still a work in process considering that there's little stuff here and there that needs some loving and its all somewhat irritating because Ty and his homies can churn out a house in ONE WEEK, whereas we just need some windows and its already surpassed an extreme makeover time limit. Arrg. And all the dust has been aggravating my throat so I'm coughing like a mother. (Does this analogy even make sense? How can it be a "mother"? Anyhoo...)

Speaking of mothers, (but not in THAT sense), my own mom is off at her nursing college reunion weekend-o-fun! I believe they started the festivities early this week with a pre-fun BBQ at one of the auntie's house in the Valley, now they're off on a bus enjoying VEGAS (Baby!), and Saturday night it will be the actual gala.

Me: So how's everyone doing?
Mom: They're all fat.

Niiice. Its funny because now that we're older, Carlene and I aren't being dragged to every function that my parents have. 13 years ago when mom and her Barkada had their last L.A. college reunion, they forced us kids to go up on stage and sing a melody of songs dedicated to their life in 72' which included hits such as "Rose in Spanish Harlem" and some song about getting a "red rose for a blue lady". I believe there was a theme about roses in the song medley, I could be wrong though. What I DO remember though was what I was wearing, and believe me, it was ugly. And you don't forget the ugly.

If you look closely, you'll notice little flecks of glitter on me. THANKS A LOT LIBBY LU! :P

Miss Laura is in town and we were able to get together at... well you guessed it! DISNEYLAND! I swear its like I live there... ;P Anyways, you'd think it would be rides rides rides galore, but it turned out to be Nicole and Laura's day O' gluttony. Eat eat eat, that's all we pretty much did and really how can you resist eating when you're surrounded by delicious temptation! Funnel cakes, corn dogs, oh my! We did ride Space Mountain though, although the wait was over an hour. That line is insane and we were convinced that an overhead view had us spelling out the word LOSER with all the turns and loops that line went through.... and really who stands in line for an hour for 4 minutes of fun in the cold darkness. Apparently a LOT of people or else that line wouldn't be so long huh. Yep. Totally makes sense.
