This is how my future mother in law washes our white socks: 1. soak all the socks in a bucket of hot water, bleach, and vinegar overnight 2. hand scrub each individual sock in the sink 3. put them in the washing machine Gosh–can you imagine?

Thanksgiving Food Vindicated . . . kinda.
Posted in Cooking, family on November 27, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Ha ha, I wasn’t very nice in my anti-Thankgiving food post and I still feel like an ungrateful human being complaining about my first-world problems. Plus, I must admit I did like the food this year, or at least I liked the interesting take on the cranberry sauce from my cousin made a delicious cranberry, [...]
On Thanksgiving Can I Please Have Some Mexican Food?
Posted in Cooking, family on November 23, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Everyone always talks about how stuffed they get at Thanksgiving from eating all of the “good food,” but all I really wanna do on this holiday is VOMIT. Turkey by itself is just okay, and sometimes the ham is good but stuffing, and gravy, and green been casserole, and pumpkin pie, and cranberry-whatever-it-is etc. etc. [...]
New Save the Date Design

So our last design came in the mail, and it was pretty stinkin crappy. Got two second opinions on it: Ate Julie: Where’s the pictures? It’s supposed to have pictures of you guys! Jackie: It’s okay . . . it doesn’t look either of your guys’ styles at all. Heh, neither Rommel or I liked [...]

My parents are coming from Sacramento! My Grandpa is coming from San Francisco! Jackie is coming from 10 mins away! And we’re all going to be together to help me find THE DRESS!
Adventures in . . . Jury Duty, ugh.
Posted in family, Harry Potter, reading, Sacramento on August 18, 2011 | 1 Comment »
For the last 10 years, since graduating high school, I have moved at least once a year for a total of 15 moves. Because of the uncertainty of my address I have always used my parents’ address on my license and kept it as my “permanent address.” Thus, I always receive my jury duty notices [...]
Friday, Friday . . . More on Rebecca Black!
Posted in Christianity, family, Friday!, Harry Potter, laughter, Music, Rebecca Black on July 22, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
So I’ve been looking around at internet memes this morning and wound up finding some interesting parodies of the Friday song, including this one, done by a church about Sunday. Hee, hee. It’s cute–similar quality to the Friday song. I’m glad the comments section has been disabled on youtube though! OMG, I can just imagine [...]

TeeHee! She got to run around my parent’s backyard in Sacramento today while Rommel, Justin and I went to the State Fair. Look at that smile! Complete and utter joy.
Speaking of the Muppets

My family has a set of Muppet Christmas ornaments from the 70s that no longer make it onto my family’s (ahem, MOM’s) tree. About 9 years ago, during college, my brother and I stumbled upon this ornament of Ralph in one of the older “do-not-open-until-grandchildren” box of ornaments: We got excited about it and decided [...]
Rommel is wonderful and amazing!

I’m so lucky to be with a man who not only gets along with my family, but actually suggests all on his own that we go visit them even though it’s a five hr round trip! Omg, he gave up his one day off just for me to be able to see them a couple [...]
