Drained... need sleep
I am very looking forward to this weekend. Why? Because I'll be staying in and will get to catch up on sleep! It's been tiring since the weekend. Emmanuell's dad was in town for the weekend (flew in late Thursday night and left Monday morning). What did we do?
Friday - While I was at work, Emmanuell took him to explore in Hollywood (wax museum, walk of fame, etc). When I got home, we headed out to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles for dinner then went to bowl in Arcadia. I was too tired that I just watched them bowl.
Saturday - We started the morning with horseback riding followed by crepes for brunch. After that, we headed to Sherman Oaks for a couple rounds of miniature golfing before heading to Santa Monica to walk along Ocean and dinner at C&O's Trattoria.
Sunday - We had a later start (Daylight savings and Emmanuell and I didn't go to bed til after midnight). We stayed home to have breakfast before going bowling for a couple hours. After that, we decided to go check out the Arboretum in Arcadia. It was quite nice. We were there until the Arboretum was closing before we headed to Wood Ranch for dinner. Yummm, bbq.
No one was awake when I left for work Monday morning, so I didn't get to say 'bye' to his dad since he was leaving that late morning. It was a pretty busy weekend! Overall, it was enjoyable and I'm glad to hear Emmanuell's dad had a great time here. He plans to stay longer for our wedding!
I didn't get a chance to go to bed early Monday night. On Tuesday, we headed to Long Beach to meet up w/ my friends for dinner and didn't get home til about 11pm. Then I spent last night just cleaning the kitchen... So no going to bed on my usual time in the past week.
I'm le TIRED.

March Madness
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.
