At 8:07 pm on a Saturday night in early January of 1996, my dad got up from his lazy boy and turned off the television.  The 4 of us sat around, lazily looking at each other.  I think Amy or I suggested a game or a puzzle or something, but Dad just shook his head and looked pointedly at Mom.  Mom stared at him in disbelief and said, "You mean you' ( Read more... )

There I was, standing at my desk this morning saying "howdy" to all of my cube-mates when suddenly my jaw fell open and I was frozen in my stance. Not knowing whether I should run or stare in magnetic curiosity, I chose the latter and watched in disbelief as the unsteady object wavered in the air in front of my 10th story window in the Tech Center ( Read more... )

Life is tough, but no one ever said that it was going to be easy. I am fortunate to have friends whom I can trust, and whom I know I can run to anytime I'm in need of a good shoulder to cry on, ear to talk in, or realistic pep talk. I am also fortunate to know that these friends know that they can talk to me as well ( Read more... )

My print vendor called me today to offer me 2 tickets to the STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS tonight - the Colorado Avalanche vs. the San Juan Sharks in Game 2 at the Pepsi Center in Denver. WOWSERS what an intense game! The entire game was scoreless - until about halfway through the 1st period of overtime when Joe Sakic scored the winning goal for Denver. GO ( Read more... )

Happy birthday to Amy! My little sister is now 21, and it's totally hard to believe. It was kinda cool that she used to have to come to me to buy her and her friends alcohol when they wanted to party over vacations, and I had all of these bar stories that she would listen to with wide eyes and avid ears. Now she'll have her own to counter with and ( Read more... )

Saturday was the flower market day. We woke up unexpectedly early and drove down to downtown L.A. and hung out at the flower market all day. After the car fiasco, we all came back to the apartment to shower and nap since we were pretty tired and cranky! The day before Amy's birthday wasn't shaping up the way we wanted it to, so we decided to take a ( Read more... )

Oh how I hate alarm clocks! At least my sister is more responsible than I am when it comes to rolling out of bed in the morning, and she politely refrained from hitting the snooze button. Her classes started at 8 and she didn't get home until 1, but Mom and I were beach ready by then and ready to go!

Amy drove us to her favorite spot in Los ( Read more... )

Work on Thursday was interminable as it was rain/snowing and I had so much to do in preparation for my vacation. Finally the clock's hands hit the 12 and the 3 and I walked out the door pumped to pick up Mom and get to DIA. Amy still didn't know that I was coming, so I was even more excited to see her reaction at the airport when I snuck up behind ( Read more... )
