Despite the tragic events in my family this past weekend...this family o' fun also had to attend to our social calendar. I think we believe in torturing ourselves with major commutes because we started our Saturday at home, then out to Pacifica, then trekked, thru IKEA traffic, back to Hercules, and finally Vallejo! Believe it or not I think the car rides really soothe our son because he managed to sleep through all the trips.
In Hercules we attended a baby shower for our dear friends (lets call them LMA ---it's just their initials, okay!) who are expecting their first child! Not having seen her for awhile I was really shocked to see how much she has grown. My bet is that they are having a girl --AJ's prom date! and within the next two weeks (she already passed that mucus plug!) My next observation was...Where are all the kids at?!" Everywhere you looked there was kid. It was quite weird knowing that even john and i are in that group of "young, fun, and hip parents"
I wish LMA a smooth and faster delivery, compared to mine at least! I also hope they enjoy our gift. Okay it was sort of a hand me down, but never used because we received it as a gift and it ended up being a triplicate!
Well, we left that party and went for round two where we saw some of the same guests, mainly o.g. dance members, at a surprise party. only it wasn't much of a surprise, but there was really good sushi! the most awkward was seeing john's ex-girlfriend (the only true testament to my label as "man-stealer"). I guess it is still a pretty fresh memory that may never go away, but I know we will always run into each other, considering we have the same friends. So who felt the most awkward?....who knows! All I know is that John and I are very happy, and have every intention of happily ever after!
Speaking of which... i did the "ring test" to predict the number of kids i will have, gender, and order those kids will be born. So far it is correct with my first being a boy. Unfortunately, our second is predicted to be another boy! I have two years to consult the Chinese calendar to see when John and I will most likely have a girl...and make the girl vibes strong. You don't think it will just make my boy gay, do you?! Don't worry... it won't happen for another two years!
Last but not least... we test drove the new Toyota Matrix yesterday. I think we have hit a jackpot! The ride is smooth. More affordable considering I don't work much. Lots of room in the back --- leg room, okay! It's a four door. Enough trunk space to fit the stroller and some bags. Back seat goes down to fit the Balikbayan boxes. It is what i call a "confused" car: built to handle like an SUV, convenience/size of a wagon, but compact enought to be like a car. And if i have my way, it will be an automatic! Our plan is to shop for one this saturday. Unfortunately there is limited stock so if we do buy, we won't be able to ride up in it for awhile. We would like to get a deep silver, automatic, and with a sunroof. Keep your fingers crossed!!! I just may have a new ride soon, and Blue will get her rest!
