Kudos to Olevia for making a fine 47-in LCD TV!

Kudos to Value City Furniture for giving me a full refund (including the delivery charge) when I bought a sectional that was too big for my living room.

Boos for Motorola who made my cell phone that continues to frustrate me beyond all belief. (Don't ever buy the Motorola V300! It is a terrible phone! I can't wait to buy a new Nokia!)

Kudos to Vh-1 comedians who continue to crack me up with their commentary on music and pop culture.


I was in LA two weekends ago to visit Sushee. We were driving to Home Depot in Pasadena and we saw a guy driving a black mustang convertible. With the top down. In December. WITH A CHRISTMAS TREE HANGING OUT THE BACK!!! I loved it.

I also loved the restaurant sign that said "Fish 'n Chips" and right underneath "Chinese Food".

I want to reserve a spot in the Burrito Kingdom, another restaurant in Pasadena.

Sushee and I went to a shwanky party at a shwanky club on Sunset Blvd. I wore a $20 dress and $10 beaded necklace, both of which I got at Kmart.

Last Friday night, I slept for almost 11 hours straight. I can't rememebr the last time I did that. It sure as hell wasn't last night when I woke up crying because I dreamt one of my friends had died.

Working more than 40 hours a week sucks. I hate not having the time to do all the things I love to do. I knew that things were bad when it had been 3 months since I blogged AND I ran out of homemade frozen lunches because it has been so long since I cooked.

I made some kickass chicken dumpling stew last night. I like to buy the cooked rotisserie chickens when they are on sale. If they are particularly juicy, I save the chicken juice and freeze it. I pulled two of those frozen juice containers out of the freezer and used a pressure cooked to cook chicken breasts and potatoes. Then I added fresh green beans, celery, onions, carrots, garbanzo beans, and mushrooms and then cooked dumplings. It was fabulous. And there will be leftovers for freezing. Fabulous.
