This & That
Well, where did I leave things last? I guess I alluded to the Mikuni bus adventure with my "ehhhhhhh" post. So, we went out on the Mikuni sushi bus on Wednesday night . . . we all met up at Mikuni and got on the bus, minus the birthday boy and my best friend. The birthday boy thought he and my best friend were meeting his mother and stepfather for dinner at another Mikuni location later that evening. So, we pulled up on the bus and I went up to their apartment with a bottle of wine and a birthday card for him, acting as though I had just stopped by to drop it off. I asked what their plans were and he told me about dinner. I spent some time chatting w/my best friend while the birthday boy went to take the trash out, and when he came back up the stairs Von and I were at the door as though I was heading out and she said I had one more thing for him. They followed me down the stairs on the other side and he saw the Mikuni bus. Surprise! He walked up to the bus and stepped on to find 9 more people inside. Surprise! He was definitely surprised.
We piled back into the bus and everyone enjoyed beer, sake and sushi as we headed downtown. The sushi was KILLER. I'm not even sure what was in each roll I had, but it was all good. The bbq'd tuna and gyoza were the best! We went to the Sheraton Grand downtown and had a few rounds of drinks. By this point, it was clear some people were feeling their drinks. Thank God we were on a bus! We piled back onto the bus again and headed to Rick's Dessert Diner so the birthday boy could pick out what he wanted. We ended up with what I think was the best N.Y. cheesecake I've ever had, and this monster yellow cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. Of course, by the time we got back to Von & Joey's place, it being a Wednesday night and all, some people headed home. Others were just trashed. But we tried that cheesecake and yellow cake anyway . . . mmmmmmcake.
It was a fun night -- but we didn't get home until after midnight, and after dealing w/the puppy, it was more like 1:00. The husband was supposed to get up at 4:30, and I was hoping to sleep until 6:30. He didn't quite make 4:30, and I just wanted to die at 6:30!
Wednesday was ROUGH.
Nothing remarkable since then, I don't think. Work is insanely busy, and I ran my ass off on Thursday and Friday trying to make things happen. No signs of slowing, either. But I am going on vacation in two weeks, so whatever I get done, I get done -- and whatever I don't, I don't. Next weekend is the bachelor thing in Tahoe, then the following weekend is Von's wedding. The next day, we're going to Hawaii, and I'll probably get sick once I finally slow down! When I get back, there will be no rest -- this is busy season at work, but once I get through October I ought to be able to spend some time regrouping. Sort of. Of course, there are a bunch of birthdays and holidays right on the heels of all this.
One day at a time . . .
Today the husband and I went out and got his outfit for the wedding. He thinks he looks pimp. Well at least he won't look like A pimp. And we'll coordinate since there's some black in his outfit and I'm wearing a black dress. I also got something to wear next weekend that I can use for work, which is my favorite way to shop -- dual purpose, people, dual purpose! Well, the INC shirt w/a studded skull & crossbones design probably won't work for work, but I got an alternate version w/o the skull & crossbones that is just a v-neck to go under the jacket I bought. Cute cute cute.
We made a target run that had us picking up all the big bulky stuff we needed -- cat litter, cat food, laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper, bug spray, bread, candy for my dish at work -- man, you really can find everything there!
The husband also picked up the new Madden '07 for his PS2, so he's happy as a clam.
Oh, the new range also works like a charm. Having a completely flat cooking surface is great! The oven also seems to work correctly -- meaning it doesn't run hot like that POS we just got rid of.
I'm so glad it's a 3-day weekend. I didn't get much done yesterday, and though we ran lots of errands today, I still have a lot of stuff to do around the house. And I have one more day to do it! We're not really doing anything exciting this weekend, but last Wednesday was enough excitement for me and with Tahoe next week, and the wedding and Hawaii the following week, I'm good. And broke. Good and broke.
Meanwhile, Mushu seems to have doubled in size. His little Buddha belly is growing every day -- and he seems to be catching on to things. He's still a little fucker when it comes to constantly gnawing on people (mostly me), but he seems to be understanding the word "no" and he holds his poop until we go outside. The pee is gonna take a little more work. He's pretty good about holding it, but if we don't take him out every hour, we end up finding little puddles.
That's it for my update. Time to go eat my little California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizza and have a beer! Jealous?
I didn't think so.

I cooked one of those pizzas last night and ended up dumping it in the trash. Why did it ooze???
Girl, I get tired just reading about your day!!! Glad you had fun on the sushi bus. That sounds like so much fun.
