My current love affair...

I heart this.  I just got it today and am in love. 

Too much sugar......

So, what happened to the days where I could eat candy all day long and not feel any different. 

Yesterday on Easter, I ate so much candy (that was the plan all week)  First I started my day off with a Sugar Free Red Bull (which is one of my BFF's) then moved on to a Non-fat latte, then another Sugar Free Red Bull, had a bunch of homemade cookies (which were so yummy!).  This was all at church.  Which went great by the way.

Next we went to Matt's parents house and Linda out did herself.  Sticky buns, some kinda egg casserole, hash browns, and bacon.  So good!  I am still feeling good at this point.  Very tired from the busy week and I was up very early, but still feeling good.  Now come the Easter baskets.  I got a super cute Hello Kitty basket with all sorts of goodies:  Robins Eggs Whoppers (my favorite Easter candy) jelly beans, See's Candy, and a pair of leather leggings from American Apparel that I really wanted.  

So now the candy eating really starts.  I am sitting on Randy and Linda's couch and just eating away.  It was great.  Matt and I are so tired at this point we are pretty much useless and not much fun.  We go home to take a nap before we go to my Dad's.  The hour nap was much needed but almost a tease.  Matt wakes up and says, "I think I just woke up with diabetes's."  

So we go to my Dad's, where the candy eating continues.  At this point I am now keeping Starbursts jelly beans in my jacket pocket.  Matt is now judging me.  We watch the Lakers make their comeback and then lose :( 

Now, I am basically in a sugar coma.  I am just sitting on the couch, not moving and not saying a word.  Why do I feel so bad?  I used to consume sugar like no other.  I always had an incredibly sweet, sweet tooth.  What happened to me?  I am really an adult that can't handle sugar like I used too?  I remember offering candy to my mom when I was little and she would rarely take it, saying she didn't really like candy anymore.  Have I now crossed that line?

So, it is Monday at noon and I feel awful.  I slept in and woke up with a headache and just plain old feel disgusting.    

I will only be drinking water today.

Am I really a little Asian girl?????

Gosh I kinda suck at putting up new posts. 

 

Tonight is date night.  Which means more often than not, sushi.  I could eat sushi like everyday of my life.

The other day Matt and I went to the Asian market and I was in love.  I declared I wanted to do all my shopping there.  Well, maybe I will skip the seafood section,  there were things in there that I wasn't aware even existed!  I  am in love with Poke, and Yan Yan, and there is the best candy there.  I very much am into Li hing.  Hello Kitty endorses a lot of different things there too!  Which who cares what it is, if Hello Kittys face is on it, it's mine!!!!  Matt found these giant looking juice boxes that are Tea that are milk honey flavored and I can't get enough! 

Between my hello kitty obsession, sushi, love of Japanese art, my husband thinks that my true identity is a little Asian girl.  We joke about it and stuff, but I really think he is serious and I am starting to believe it.

Missing my other half...

Matt is away.  I hate it.  He left on the day that we have been married for exactly five months. Which seems kinda weird.  Marriage still feels very new and exciting (because it is), but it feels as though the actual wedding was so long ago, like years!  OK, anyways.... I also made big plans for this weekend which included LOTS of work (i am referring to my 12.5 hour day and my 14 hour day),  and I totally love being busy at work.  I also went to a couple slumber parties and had a blast.  Even with how busy I was, I was missing my husband like crazy!  I hate not waking up next to my hubby!  It is almost sick.  I am not lying, or stretching the truth when I say, I have not been myself since he left.  Definitely a little on the moody/craky side.  But overall just not me.  Matt truly is my other half.  My heart has hurt all weekend.  I sound totally emo, I know.  

What I find very interesting is that I was never "that" girl.  I really enjoy being alone and quiet. Which is also kinda weird because i love, love, love, love, love being around friends and being loud (most of you know this) but I do really like to be mellow and alone. But if my husband is not within a 20 mile radiace I get weird.  Not that I am worrying about what he is doing or anything like that,  I just feel as though something is not right in my little world.  

Have I become of these women that can not function normally without her "man".  When I was younger I was perfectly happy without a boyfriend and was always taught to be happy on your own and don't need a man to make you happy.  Are the "rules" and some life lessons different when you are married?  

If Matt was not in my life on a daily bases I would freak.  Which I am sure that has a little something to do with why we got married ;)  I have always known I need him, I guess I am just reminded of that more so when he is gone.  And let me remind you that is has been gone for 48hours.  Am I pathetic or what?  But with all that said I hope I always feel this way whenever he is not around <3

Oh baby.....

As some as you know, I am totally nuts about kids.  I LOVE all my friend's kids to death and want to be around them a lot of the time, but for some reason the thought of me having my own makes me wanna barf.  I have no idea why.  Maybe because I am not ready, maybe I don't want to share my amazing husband with anyone, or the fact that they will ALWAYS be around, day and night.

Last Friday when the new People magazine came out, (the one with Nicole Richie and her new baby on it) I read it. (as I always do because I am WAY to into that junk, sick I know)  

First let me just say, that I am not influenced by the actions of "celebrities", especially unwed celebrity mothers.  

Ok back to my point...

I was so touched by the interview with her and her boyfriend, I teared up.  It was also the first time I realized what a blessing a child would be, and how your whole life would change, but it would be for the best not the worst.    

On Monday, our good friend came over with his 6 week old baby and I was smitten.  I got to feed him, hold him, burp him and made him smile.  Matt was amazed at how natural I was with him. And believe it or not, I have always been very maternal.  The  baby was so stinkin' cute, I could take my eyes off him!

Trust me, I do NOT want kids tomorrow, but I entertained the idea and I didn't want to barf. That's a step right?  A good friend of ours last week said not to think of children as cribbling. Such a good point.  I did see it that way.  I always thought of it as ruining things and now I can see how much it would add to life.

A Wild Saturday Nite....

So, I am baby-sitting, on Saturday night, which is nothing new, I do it every Saturday.  It's been almost a year since I have started watching Jack (7) and Adam (5).  They are the most well behaved children I have ever come across.  It is almost uncomfortable and freaky.  But I love them SO stinkin' much.  Every Saturday at 5pm I get to their amazing house (which is VERY close to the salon)  we pick where we will go to dinner.  The usual is either, Red Robin, Islands, or sushi.  We go out, return home, they put p.j.'s on and brush their teeth, play Wii and then it's bedtime.  I read magazines or play Adam's nintendo DS till about 10pm when their parents return home.  It's a pretty sweet gig and the boys are so fun.  That's a typical Saturday night for me, if you didn't know. 

Not that interesting I know.

I was sad when the Lakers lost last night.  The Ducks game was kinda fun.  Very strange to tell the truth.  I didn't really like it.  I think I am just used to Laker games.

I am really looking forward to tomorrow.  Sundays and Mondays are by far my most favorite days of the week.  I think because I get to spend the most time with my husband on those days. Sundays are rad because of church and I get to see all my favorite kids after the last church service.  (Their parents are pretty cool too)  I would really love to do something fun after church.  I have no idea what though.  Open to ideas :)

I hope everyone is having a wild Saturday night, just like me.
