i actually had a pretty good weekend, catching up with people i haven't seen in way too long. on friday, i saw chris chen (who owes me a REAL meal) and mr benjamin mellblom. every time i see him i am reminded of why we used to be such good friends and it's nice to know we can still insult each other without hurting anyone's feelings. (=

mother's day involved lots of cooking, as all my mom wanted was for my brother and i to each cook a meal. my japanese-style burgers were awesome, and she got a hearty laugh out of the color-me-mine bowls i made her. they looked, let's just say, a bit like a child made them. but it's the thought that counts!

and i had a lovely time with jacquelyn...thanks for the grimace-inspiring singing and the very long lunch conversation. i enjoyed it immensely. (=

i'm anticipating trouble on friday when i have to bring both the cat and dog to the vet, possibly by myself. the last time i took them, the cat peed all over the carrier and the dog decided to poop right next to the car. whoopee.
