What's the worst thing about today???
It's Monday.
And what can make Monday even worse than it already is?
It's the first day going back to work after having to spring forward our clocks!
Who ever came up with springing forward should be beaten to a pulp!

Since I'm getting OLD and it doesn't look like children will be in my future (or in the near future anyways), can one of my nieces hurry up and have kids so I can spoil them rotten?????
I was at Old Navy and Target with my niece Tracy a few days ago and we were looking at clothes and knick knacks for little girls (she was shopping for her boyfriend's daughter while I was trying to find a gift for a friend's daughter). Omg. So cute!!!!!!
Seeing all the adorable stuff (the girl's stuff...the boy's stuff aren't so cute) makes me want to have a baby. The feeling doesn't last very long though because one noise that I absolutely abhor is the sound of crying kids. Babies are a different story but whiny toddlers are the worst.
When my niece Vivian was a baby, I would spoil that child rotten buying her all these Guess and Baby Gap clothes. No wonder the kid followed me around everywhere. She knew who would dress her well!
I know my sister can't wait until she has her first grandchild (probably from Susan, though I can't see her as a mother; being a teacher would surely turn me off from wanting to have kids). I can already picture that poor child if it's a girl. The kid is going to be decked out in bows, chiffon and flower patterned everything. Hee Hee

Being with John has opened my eyes to alot of new things that I probably would have never tried because I'm a creature of habit. But I want to make him as happy as he makes me so in the past year I have worked on trying to get out of my comfort zone and giving new things (whether it's food, music, tv shows, movies, etc) a try.
He's gotten me to listen to music that frankly, I thought would be boring but to my surprise, alot of the musicians he's introduced me to are good. One in particular is Jack Johnson. I love, love, love his music. I only wished he would come on tour here so I can go!!!
His music is upbeat but yet mellow. He's an artist that shows you don't have to sing about slapping your bitch or kicking someone's ass or hating on people. His music is original---unlike some artists who do nothing but sample from others and think they make it their own by sticking a bunch of stupid words (or what they think are real words) to it.

One year together!!
I can't believe how fast the year has flown by. Each day that goes by, I love him more and more. He treats me with respect, takes care of me and loves me just the way I am. I will be forever grateful to my niece Tracy for giving me the push or I would have never met him.
Baby, YOU are my love and my best friend and I thank God, Buddha and my lucky stars every day for bringing such a wonderful, sweet, honest, kind, caring and handsome person into my life. I love you!!!

What to do when you can't stand your friend's significant other?
I completely and utterly loathe this friend's husband! He treats her like a maid and a secretary. Initially I felt sorry for her but not anymore. She won't stand up to the jerk so I can't feel bad about it. If any man ever tells me what to do and treats me the way he treats her, he will be out on the street so fast. She doesn't even realize how she holds the cards in that relationship. She is the one raising the children, taking care of the house (and everything else) while his fat ass orders her around. If she divorces him, she could take him for everything.
I used to say things to her about it but she always has an excuse for his behavior --- how he works long hours, how he works hard to provide them a nice home, blah blah blah. That's what it is to me --- blah blah blah --- a bunch of empty meaningless words.
It's gotten to the point where I don't even want to be around her if he's around. I've met the guy a couple of times and we've had maybe a total of 10 words spoken to each other. I hope he's seen and read the disgusts in my face everytime we've been in the same room together.

I have always wanted to write a book and though I don't lack the imagination, I do have trouble putting those ideas and thoughts down in writing. Since John and I are possibly going to visit Vietnam this May and never mind the fact that I love Vietnamese food, I have decided that I'm going to write a Vietnamese cookbook. My book will have recipes from my mom, sister, brother-in-law and people I come across while traveling in Vietnam. John will be my photographer. I know there are Vietnamese cookbooks out there already but the ones I have skimmed through or purchased, I didn't like so much. I want my book to be a go-to for anyone who wants to make yummy dishes---a book that is not only informative and detailed but also authentic.
