Hi! Welcome to my new internet home. I'm thinking of switching internet providers, so I thought I'd go ahead and move the blog over now since my other one is hosted by the existing internet provider. I was also getting tired of doing all the html code and stuff for the old web page. It only makes me lazier to update, so... I'm getting with the program and letting blogger do everything for me. My only complaint so far is that it's looking pretty boring, but in time, I'm sure it'll look better.
Let's see... this past week has mostly been about work. So nothing really fun there. Last weekend we went down to La Jolla because my dad golfed Torrey Pines. First, Torrey Pines is gorgeous. The greens with the ocean behind it... so picturesque. So while my dad golfed Torrey Pines, my mom and I went to the Hotel del Coronado for Sunday brunch. When I had looked it up, I only found the menu. It said nothing about how much it cost. When we got there, nothing said how much it cost, so it was only when we got the bill did we find out how much brunch was. ($59/person) Woah. Now, the food was good, but not that much better than other buffets. Their major selling point is the atmosphere - the large Crown dining room - and the service. GREAT service. I think we had 3 servers assigned to us, so our dishes were constantly cleared and our drinks refilled. It was like I had a bottomless, never-ending mimosa. =D
The rest of the week was pretty much just work. Lots of stressful work. However, I did get to have dinner with the guys on Thursday night at I Love Sushi and we ended up going to Goathill and throwing peanut shells at each other. Friday night, my aunt Leslie took me out for a belated birthday dinner at The Ritz. We were joined by Carla and her friend Meagan. I have to say, The Ritz (across from Fashion Island, not the hotel) has some good creamed corn. They also make pretty good martinis. I had a yummy tiramisu martini and the ultimate cosmopolitan. I am not really sure what made that cosmo so ultimate other than it was pretty strong, but hey, maybe that's enough.
Yesterday, we took Marina to the tennis courts. Monette had brought her a little Dora the Explorer tennis racket. She took to the tennis racket, but mostly to push her face up against the strings and make noises. She also liked taking the ball and putting it under the net. However, she did seem to enjoy herself at the tennis courts. There is hope for a tennis career.
Today I had lunch with Harvey who is on his way back to Taiwan tonight. We got some dim sum in Cerritos, and I have no idea what it is, but dim sum always renders me useless for at least an hour or two. I can barely stay awake after dim sum. And we got Thai iced tea afterwards. I should have been somewhat alert. But no, I came home and took a nap on the couch.
So that's pretty much it. No major plans for this week, just expecting lots of stress at work. woohoo. So I shall go and get to work in an effort to alleviate some of the stress.
