Sometimes, I think I’m a little slow.
I mean, I’ve never been put in a special class or anything (not that being put in a special class says anything at all about one’s true intellect - I love you Little C!), but I’ve found on numerous occasions that I’m just not that smart.
One of the first [...]

I don’t like eating at restaurants alone, but I’ll do it for pho because 1) pho can get nasty when you transport it elsewhere and 2) when I want pho, I want it NOW and don’t have time to round up a buddy. Anyway, I go to this pho place in Torrance and, like most [...]

The things in this world that move me are few and unexpected. The ending in Mulan. (”The greatest gift and honor is having you as a daughter.” IT’S JUST SO TOUCHING!) Old people holding hands. Kay Jewelers commercials (Have you seen the Mother’s Day one? When the kids are like, “We got you a diamond [...]

On Saturday morning, I was telling Matt about GIRLS’ NIGHT! which totally deserves capital letters and an exclamation point because, sadly, such occasions have become quite rare. I was telling him how fun GIRLS’ NIGHT! was. We went clubbing! And wore dresses! I even shaved my legs.
“Ohmygawd, it was so fun,” I exclaimed. “The line [...]
