Balanced?

Tried to go to Michael's Burnaby, but made a wrong turn at Marine Dr. and ended up in nowhere land. Sigh... Not my day...... or was it? First, thanks A for the support and navigation. When we finally arrived, I found some beads that I've been eying at another branch on sale for 25 cents! It was $1.29 at that other branch! And not on sale at others. Of course I couldn't resist. Although all of them were the last one, and with some defects, I wouldn't complain.

Dad's "organizing" things again... Sigh...

Weird dream

I was playing some kind of Taiko Master game. Getting the hang of it after 2 songs. Choosing the third one from a printed catalog. There were all sorts of anime stuff from the 80's(?). Was aiming at Lum's Love Song for it's beat. Missed the click and ended up with Mezon Ikkoku's song. Which one? I forgot. I'm not even sure what it sounded like, but I just knew that it was from Mezon Ikkoku. Somehow I was in a class and Mi was there. This song caught his attention as he's a huge fan.

Not sure how or why, the result of some blood work came by phone. I was told that half of my body contains XY DNA instead of XX. It's a really special case and a social worker will come to see me for it. I went "???", but kind of intrigued. I kept trying to select Lum's Love Song without luck before she came. Then we tried to find a more private area to have our meeting, but there seemed to be none. The meeting room was filled with small groups sharing tables. We sat down at the corner of a table. She told me I had to switch to the boy's PE class from now on. (What?)

From our POV, I could see the back stage of a Chinese BBQ takeout window. Business was really good. A white couple was buying. We've got a BBQ duck delivered to our table. Someone... someone I know, possibly a family member, was there, praising the duck like it's the best in the world.

There were some more, but I failed to write it down before it dissipated. Oh well!

Botticelli: Easter Bunny

Got a box of their chocolate for Totsu 2 Christmas ago, but this is actually the first time I tried their product. (At post-Easter sale, of course! Hehe!)

This solid milk chocolate tastes great! When they call themselves the art of chocolate, you don't expect anything less. If I have to whine, I'd say make this large bunny into smaller bite-size ones. It's tough to bite it whole. Handle it too much, like breaking it manually, will get chocolate all over your hands and desk.

Happy Easter!

Oops... I got the date wrong!

...... and the aftermath. 18 Pinkys were used to make these five. (17 are in the picture, but one was a loose head.)

Babysitting

Brother and sis-in-law's turn to go cross-border shopping. They've ordered a baby stroller last time and went to pick it up today. It's pretty much half price comparing to local stores. My two nieces had to go to a classmate's birthday party from 3 to 7, so they were dropped off here in the morning. I'd take them to the party, and if the shopping team makes it back in time, I don't have to pick the girls up. And that was exactly what happened.

Went to Richmond for the time between drop-off and and the intended pickup. Michael's was quite busy. Aberdeen was very busy too thanks to Ester cerebration. Can't believe I forgot my camera at home! I was going to take it to the camera store for a repair quote. (T_T) Oh well. I haven't tried digging into the menu for a way to reset the system yet. It would be super stupid if that's all it needs.

Couldn't resist getting some more beads at a dollar store. (^_^;)

Wind storm

Wind storm. Fallen trees. Road closure. Power outage. Worst weather ache. Monster took over. (T_T)

Thanks A for the back rub. It helped a lot. Thanks for cooking too! Sorry I freaked out.

Forgot to take a Pinky picture of the olive oil chips...

Too late to take sakura Pinky pictures this year. First, no time. Second, the wind blown pretty much all of them away already. (T_T)

April Fool's

(Photo was taken on March 27 and unrelated to subject.)
Luckily no practical joke for me. (^_^) But what's with the weather? Cloudy, rainy, and hail! Lightning and thunder! Then drizzled again. Of course my body's been totally out the window. Can't think straight. Can't count. Bought 2 extra buns for lunch and didn't even realize it. Only notice the total was more than usual (but not by how much) and asked if the price went up. That was embarrassing.

Sat on the couch while talking on the phone (land line). The couch smells like urine. (T_T) My room is pretty much the only place that's still relatively fine. But smell travels. (T_T)

AAAAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!

My visa's due on the 3th!!!!! It's a long weekend! They got me again! (T_T) (T_T) (T_T) (T_T) Am I'm so bad at numbers... and time... and space... (T_T) (T_T) (T_T) (T_T)
