So I know I keep saying “I’m going to update more! Promise!”. Oops… Needless to say I haven’t kept up with that promise. Hopefully, I can get my butt in gear if I force myself to post at least once a week, if I have an RSS feed going. And of course, I’m still trying to work out the kinks – so that may be a while. For something supposedly so simple to do, why can’t I get it to work?!
So lots of things have happened since my last post. Granted, even the most boring person would probably have something happen with the span of time that I put in between posting… This post has stuff from January through March. anywho…
Happy Mother’s Day (belated) to all those mothers who love unconditionally and take wonderful care of their kids, no matter what age! Including my mom and sister, grandmas, and all of the aunts.
Speaking of kids….
I have a new nephew! Well, Jake’s (NOT named after the Twilight character) 4 months old now. But he’s tied for cutest baby ever! (with my other nephew, of course!) We already had his naming and hair cutting party in March. Take a look at some pics on my flickr account. It’s great – it’s so easy to get Jake to laugh and smile! And he’s quite talkative (with his gurgles). It’s adorable when Will comes over to give him hugs and kisses!
Will is running around and hyper as ever! His thing now is playing inside a large Amazon.com box – who knew that something as simple as opening and closing the top flap of a box can make a kid giggle non-stop for 10 minutes! I definitely have to give my sister props for taking care of 2 kids under the age of 2- running around and playing with Will, while tending to Jake with 4 hours of sleep! I’m exhausted after spending a few hours playing with Will!
Let’s see, what else…
In February, theeDorks gave Carina a surprise birthday dinner. We made spinach dip and Pad Thai, got a cake, watched “500 Days of Summer,” and played “Scene It: Twilight” edition. haha. It was a pretty fun night – the food was really good, I even made Pad Thai at home a few weeks later.

“500 Days of Summer” was pretty good – a bit confusing if you don’t pay attention when the days jump back and forth. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was great in it – he plays depressed really well, haha. And his little freak out was pretty funny too. The movie was a little depressing, but I guess I’m ok with how it ended – definitely different than what I thought was going to happen.

“Scene It: Twilight” edition was pretty funny while we played. Although, I have to admit, all of us got most of the questions right (sigh… I can hear the sneers, snickers, and sighs of slight disappointment now) :P Rachel got it as her Secret Santa gift from one of her co-workers.
In March, we went into the city for Tida’s birthday dinner. Korean bbq – deeeeelicious! The food was great, but a little awkward to get to with the number of people at the table. That, and the whole sharing with chopsticks thing – not so much the chopsticks, but the actual touching of the food with the chopsticks that you ate with….. But the food was really good!
March was also the Daughtry/Lifehouse concert- I went mainly to see Lifehouse. I love this band! They were excellent in concert – and sounded just like their albums, just louder, more exciting, and with talking in between. Jason Wade is amazing! He even went into the audience! The only downside is that we had floor seats – not a good idea if you’re really short and everyone decides to stand.
