Thursday Off

Today is my day off... a much needed day off.  I didn't really get to sleep in though.  I woke up at 6:15am and got ready to take my car in for service.  So Emmanuell and I are at a Starbucks near the auto shop waiting until my car is ready.  It's a nice day to just enjoy the day, especially since I was at work til 6 last night.  I met up w/ Ang to treat her out for her belated birthday.  Good times.  Hopefully we'll get to do that again soon.  I almost forgot how crazy traffic is going south on Veteran!

Anyway, I can't believe it's already approaching the end of the year.  We have plans to spend Thanksgiving with my family again.  I was actually assigned to plan one of my best friend's 25th birthday, so I chose SD.  I'm planning a group trip down to stay over and hang out.  We'll see how it goes.  We are also going to one of my bridesmaid's housewarming/1 yr wedding anniversary.  We love hanging out w/ them.  They're so laid back with things, that it's just nice to see a couple so perfect for each other with minimal stress.

Before we know it, December will come.  December = Christmas break!  I already gave Emmanuell two of his presents.  We'll be celebrating an early Christmas together before work gets crazy for me and family time.  Wow, time sure flies!

Pet peeves

• typos 
• drivers who don't use their turn signals
• cars that do not have updated registration stickers
• people who flirt with those already taken (yes, it annoys me when girls flirt w/ MY man)
• having to wait for a while at a doctor's appointment even though you scheduled an appointment
• literally last minute plans from family (they think you're always available without even asking first)
• inconsiderate, rude and disrespectful people
• people who don't say a simple "thank you" or "I'm sorry" when it should be said
• drivers who weave and cut you off so abruptly (and of course, no turn signals are used)
• people who only call you because they want something (then they go MIA otherwise)
• people who use you
• people who does anything to just get attention

First day back at work from vacation...

Today was my first day back to work from vacation, and I made it a long work day.  Left home at 5:40am, got to work before 6:30am, left work at 6:30pm, and got home at about 7:30pm.  Didn't even have to wear my sunglasses at all since it was dark during those times I was driving.  Fun stuff... 

Beautiful wedding!

We attended such a beautiful wedding in Hawai'i!  It was at the Paul Mitchell Estates.  The cool part?  They had to kick Kobe Bryant out for the wedding.  I will write more about the trip soon (hopefully this weekend)!
