Workaholic Hostess’ Neighborhood

I really like this song, I feel like much of its meaning and mood is lost in the English translation I read, so I won't bother posting it. For some reason the song really speaks to me tonight. I always feel so happy when I can understand beautiful Japanese songs. Atsushi always writes haunting lyrics...

If you're a Thinkgeek fan you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Anyhow, my photo of the day on day 323 was of a post card I sent to Thinkgeek.com for their wall of awesome happiness and they posted a photo of the wall so far....

Sweet!!!!!!!!!  My heelin coo made the cut!!!  ; )

Francisco Rodriguez died yesterday, he was a Venezuelan boxer. He was 25 years old. You can read the full article here.

I have to read the bible, and I have to read it slowly to get more of it/be less violent. I think I should start with the New Testament. There's still H1N1 going around, so please wash your hands often. I'm going to buy the domain blog this week and keep this blog for archival purposes. The music of the day? Here.

It's the holidays and this year I actually have holiday conflicts. Usually the default is to go home and spend it with my family. Now He's a major player. It's too soon to introduce Him to the folks. I've never introduced any of my boyfriends to my family before, so for me to do that...well, it really means something.

Thanksgiving I'm spending with Him. It just turned out that way. I was planning on going home for Thursday and Friday, but I booked another laser facial Friday. The plan is to spend Wed-Thurs-part of Friday with Him, and head home to recover at home with my parents after the procedure.

We've started talking about our Winter Holiday plans. Not sure what we're doing, but we've thrown around options. Go north again and venture into Napa. Go south and explore my hometown and eat carne asada fries. Or...

Go to Vegas...

Return to the scene of the cryme? I shudder internally at the thought, but wouldn't that be sweet justice and redemption for last year? Of course He doesn't know about the Canadian. He doesn't know the details about any of the dates I've been on. I'd rather keep it that way.

I'd rather forget it ever happened.

So, maybe I do need to do Vegas. For closure. To wipe that city clean (so to speak) for me. What do you think?

Otherwise my vote is for San Diego so I can eat carne asada fries everyday.

My husband turned 31 this year and to celebrate, I thought it'd be fun to have an ice-cream bar with 31 toppings so people could create their own superb ice-cream flavor...

Other 1826

We included some very unconventional toppings as well to see how daring people would get....

Other 1827

The person with the best ice-cream and name won a prize as well as the person with the grossest ice-cream creation.

The ice-cream that won best creation was "cheefish, chexpicklecream":

Other 1839

Grossest ice-cream went to "I had corn for dinner", even though the ice-cream itself tasted great (I'm told!):

Other 1845

Great people, lots of food and drinks and fun games!

It was another great birthday celebration!!!!!!!!!

325

Day 325 of Project 365 = sleeping in, getting house ready for husband's birthday party, picking up all the fixins for our ice cream bar (featuring 31 toppings since my husband is turning 31), beer, pizza, awesome people, games and fun.  T'was an awesome night.  And yes, there were definitely some unconventional toppings for the ice cream bar (don't know if you can make them out but we had cherry tomatoes, cheetohs, chile peppers, gummy worms, pitted prunes, pickles, nerds, etc.)  Person with the best ice cream creation and person with grossest ice cream creation won prizes.  ; )
