No... not at all related to basketball. Work's been stressful. That's all I have to say. It doesn't help w/ the breakouts I've been getting. Yuck. We'll see how things go.
Wish me luck, cuz I need it!

Relaxed Sunday
I must say today's a relaxed Sunday. And I'm glad. =)
Friday night, Emmanuell and I headed to Pasadena to have dinner with my little brother and his gf (another double date). It was fun. It's always good to see them. We got home at about 11, and I couldn't sleep at all. I was just wide awake doing miscellaneous things and didn't fall asleep until 5am... very unusual for me! I ended up waking up at 7am and couldn't go back to sleep. I was worried considering we had a little get together for my friends and that I would end up running on just two hours of sleep. I was a bit upset Friday given some news I heard and the possibly of no one coming on time. Yup, that seems to be a common thing for certain guests...
How bad can tardiness get? A few years ago, I planned a little get together to watch the UCLA vs USC game. I reminded the guests to come at a certain time (before the game started). I spent all morning prepping all the food. Once the game started, no one showed up. No one responded. Nada. I ended up eating and watching the game by myself. The first guest to show up didn't get there until after the game had already ended. It was a disappointment.
This time, some told me they'd plan to come to the party six hours late. Yes... six hours late. We informed them that guests would probably leave by then. By the time they were almost here, guests were already getting ready to head out.
On the brighter side, I'm glad the guests enjoyed themselves. We had plenty of food and desserts left. It was enjoyable. We ended up staying in after the party (knowing I'd probably pass out from the lack of sleep). It was very relaxing.
Now we just watched the Lakers vs Spurs game - what a GREAT game! It's been a comfortable Sunday. If only I had a three-day weekend.
