Nick and I had a lovely Valentine's Day (we had ours on the 13th actually, since I didn't have to work and I got out of school early). We went to MyThai for dinner and ate fantastic Thai food and had sushi. On the way back home, I picked up two pieces of chocolate raspberry torte to devour when we got home, where we sat watching the X-Files, ( Read more... )

Misha is a funny hamster. When I give her a scoop of seeds, she immediately runs over and stores as many as she can in her pouches and then proceeds to run in her wheel because she's so excited. But if you give her a pretzel or a whole walnut, something she can't fit in her pouches, she goes into nervous, panic, hammy mode and runs around in ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday purplecleo!!! Hope you have a good one!!!

Happy New Year on Monday! It's the Year of the Ox! XDI hope my New Year's Eve dinner tonight is yummilicious! ( I have no idea why, but I always think that I'm going to make crap for other people even though I'm an excellent cook. Too much pressure I put on myself for ( Read more... )

I'm so excited for America! This is a big step! Go us!!! XD
I'm so jealous Nick went to DC today. Bah to having to work! But I have a live feed online and CNN on satellite radio and I'm sitting here so happy with tears in my eyes!

Rachel's New Year's Resolutions:
- learn another language
- exercise more in hopes of losing weight
- buy fewer coffees out (I just bought a bag of Kona coffee so this should help!)

I asked Nick if he made any New Year resolutions and he replied, "to eat more goat." LOL (He's joking, btw)
He would also like to learn Esperanto. What an oddball.

Well, the asian grocery I found was 'okay.' It had a lot of kitchen items (I may go back and buy the bamboo steamer) but not a lot of food stuffs. Although it did have noodles! And my favorite instant noodle! And lychee drinks! It's something I guess, yet a bit disappointing. I'd really like to go to the one my boss mentioned that's like a full ( Read more... )

Other than working since I came back to Maryland, the only things I have been doing are watching loads of The X-Files, playing video games, and trying to figure out what I want to make for Chinese New Year's Eve. I think I finally found an Asian grocery, so yay!

For the menu I have thus far for Chinese New Year:stir fried beef with orange ( Read more... )

Ohio was the awesome, by and large. Saw several movies (The Spirit w/Rocky and Benjamin Button w/dad), got to hang out with peeps. Received an enormous amount of Christmas gifts that I'm amazed I somehow was able to bring the majority of them home. Ooooh I need these trips periodically. Too bad I won't be there again until summer ( Read more... )

Meep died. My angel kitty.

I'm glad I was with her all day and that she was around those she loved.
