The family reunion at the beginning of May was so great. Too short, of course, but hey. It was good to catch up with people I haven't seen in years and meet the new additions to the family.
What else happened? I cut all my hair off, as most of you 5 readers know it was at my belt and is now between my chin and

The love of my life is good, working hard as usual. I convinced him to buy the most wonderful jacket, we (he) found it at an upscale consignment store May long weekend. It's this fantastic (obviously a favourite word of mine) orange colour...kinda pumpkin i guess, but a light pumpkin. Just suits him perfectly. However, when we found it it was $220 which for a second hand jacket seems a little pricey, and who's Cole Haan anyways? But, this past weekend his mom was in town and we went to the Sunfest in Inglewood, popped in to the store, and they were having a 50% off sale! So, we bought it. $110 is worth it.
The Sunfest was great, rained of course. First time having Vietnamese food, super good! got my blood typed, I'm an 0, but I don't know the positive/negative yet..gotta donate blood to find that out. Discovered this absolutely cramped tiny little antique/junk shop, that had a huge basement level just filled with old furniture and stuff. The kind of place where you feel like if you breathe you're gonna topple the stacks of dusty nicknack's over, the old guy just sits behind the counter and watches tv, you feel like you're interrupting if you ask a question, but you just know that you could describe what you want and he'd think a little, and say "bottom of the stairs, turn right, way at the back behind such n such". Such character, we'll have to go back for sure.
Last year J & I bought "Eat Right for your Blood Type", but as we didn't know what we were, we just started to try it out this week. So far it makes a lot of sense, I can relate the things they tell you about yourself ie how to reduce stress, to myself easily. I know, some people think it's just one more fad diet thing, but at this point, whatever I have to trick my mind into thinking to get my butt moving again...works for me! So, we'll try it and see.
Ok, well, I think that's enough of an update for now...
