Silence?  Nothing to say?  What’s that?  Ooh… Mets got your tongue… I know

Let’s see… rained out game on Friday (and I’ve got GREAT seats for really cheap… will DEFINITELY be going to the makeup game!!!  Thank goodness for people who are all “I don’t want to sit in the rain for baseball!”), 7-4 on Saturday, and 11-2 on Sunday.  Wow.  You couldn’t ask for a better score.  I mean, if anyone can come back from an 11-2 deficit, it’s the Yankees… but they didn’t.   

*gloat*  Part of the reason I’m gloating so hard is because if it’d been the other way around, I’d never hear the end of it from all the Yankees fans around me!  Muhahahahaha! 

So here’s my weekend recap:

If I go out all three days of the weekend, I am incredibly tired and don’t feel refreshed on Monday at all.  And I don’t get ANY personal stuff done (though last night, productivity hit me at 11:30 pm and I washed many of the dishes that have been in my sink for ages.  Gross, I know, but I DON’T HAVE TIME, see why I’m stressed?  Hopefully I can get to the rest tonight, we’ll see…).

Friday: got last minute awesome seats to the Yankees/Mets game for half-price.  Went to over to my friend’s place to wait to see if it would be rained out – she’s the one friend I had who quickly agreed to go with me to the game since BF was tired and had to work anyway.  Game was rained out, we went to grab cheesesteaks from the only place in the city I’d go for cheesesteaks (other than this place, the only places I’ve ever had cheesesteaks are all in Philadelphia).  No pics of the cheesesteak, but yum, they went to play beer pong, and I went home to pass out.  On my way home, I see this:

Woohoo!  This is the place where I got this pastrami sandwich. That was less than a week ago!  Gross!  I tried looking up their violations but I guess they haven’t been updated yet on the website since the last inspection before that, they only had 2 pts (lower the better).  Bahhh~!

Saturday: Brunch for one of my (two) mommy friends.  (Yes, out of friends that I actually hang out with, I only have two with kids so far.  Phew.)  Food was good and not too expensive price-wise but portions were small… review to come… I actually managed to get more pictures of the food this time than I normally do when we go out for birthdays (I don’t normally bother them for pictures). 

Birthday mommy’s son and I.  Isn’t he adorable?!  I’m obligated by law to say he’s not as cute as my nephews (see, my sister can disown me, I don’t think my friend would mind, though), but he’s about a year younger than my older nephew and super rambunctious already.  Hahaha. 

After brunch, the mommys headed home with their babies (the other mommy has TWO kids already!  TWO!!!, and her first was at the same time as the baby above!), and the non-ball&chained people headed off in separate directions.  I wish I’d gotten a picture but we ran into this weird parade going down Broadway, the part we caught started with what looked like Latino pride but then a bunch of mishmash came after, then a bunch of dancers, and finally, a huge group of people dressed as random superheroes (but not ones you’d know!).  Just like… caped and random, you know, superhero-ish costumes.  Very weird.  Too bad I didn’t snap a picture of this one Asian-ish chick wearing rollerblades with these cool aqua green iridescent wings skating around and fluttering her wings.  It was like Ariel except on crack.

Then BF and I went to Harold & Kumar which was NOT as funny as everyone else said it was, and I got a massive headache and so skipped out on the one party I go to every year lol.  Oh well =P and on our way home from the movies, this happened:

He just attracts little kids like flies to shit.  I mean, honey.  LOL

Sunday: My mother’s day present to mom.  I stopped giving her physical presents because she has no lack of clothing or anything, really, except experiences.  So I take her wherever she’d like to go for her presents.  Funny thing is, she always requests the city/Manhattan.  I offered to rent a car and take her to Philadelphia, anywhere in NJ, or upstate, or LI, or wherever, but she wanted to go to the city.  Originally she’d wanted to go to Pearl Oyster Bar, but they’re not open on Sundays, which disappointed us greatly.  She had a whole list of places to go, and a lot of them weren’t open on Sunday… that sucked.  No pictures of our outing, but it was a day of LOTS of walking, hitting “the shoe store so big, it has its own zip code- 10022-shoe” (it really isn’t that big, whatever), more walking, and just… walking.  Shopping and the only stuff we bought were some groceries.  Hahaha.  I owe her though, I said I’d still take her out to Pearl Oyster Bar and the Union Square Farmer’s Market one day soon… when they’re both open and it’s not a weekend.  Hahaha. 

So yes, a very exhausting weekend…

But I still managed to slap together a bento this morning!

Details to come on Feisty Bento.

Happy Monday!

Walking through syrup.  The day is rainy… once again, weekend wash out.  I don’t understand why it won’t stop raining.  My plants are dying from lack of sun.  I pointed lights at them and they woke up.

I have strange waking dreams.  I wake up and they’re real.  I wake up again and they’re not real.  I don’t understand.

I’ve been here

well, have a nice weekend.

***edit

OMG I just remembered part of my dream.  Well I knew I’d dreamed I was part of Gossip Girl after I woke up and slipped back into a half sleep, but I ALSO DREAMED I WAS BAKING.  That’s how you know I’m losing it!  I don’t bake!

I must’ve dozed off while I was washing my hair (repetitive motion, warm water, so lulling), because when I got out of the shower it was 8:15.  Ummm… I’m supposed to leave by 8:15 to get to the bus stop in time to get the 8:20 and get to work on time (a little early).  Yikes. 

Did I fall asleep while posting this?  How did it get to be 11?  Well, I have no food pictures to share, so no one will comment on this anyway.  I’m just not handling my life very well right now, I can’t seem to focus and find the time to do the things I must (sink full of dishes, for example).  And the things I want to (writing more articles).  Sigh.

It’s free Iced Coffee Day at Dunkin Donuts.  I don’t drink coffee, but I will make an exception.  I like free stuff.  A LOT. 

Oh, I went to two free events last night… neither had goodie bags.  Boo.  But I am definitely going to get over to Bliss for some spa lovin’ soon… gorgeous facilities… and I did score another canvas shopping tote/bag.  Hehe.  I love those !!!  So environmentally friendly.  What wasn’t environmentally friendly, however, was all the brochures they were giving.  I didn’t take any  

Also, somehow, I managed to score a Duncan Hines press packet goodie bag filled with Duncan Hines goodies.  Interesting. 

Ta~!

never happens in one small instance.  It’s always tons of it at one time…

Descending into insanity once again.  Lack of sleep.  Tenuous grasp on reality.  Laughing at things that aren’t really there.  I dozed off on the bus home last night – I couldn’t bring myself to stay until 7, even though I need and want the $$$ – and woke with a start, scrambling to grab my glasses because I felt certain I’d missed my stop, the bus driver having announced it 5 minutes prior. 

We hadn’t even gotten off the highway yet; my stop was another 20 minutes away, and the first stop in Queens, 10 minutes.  I’d hallucinated him saying my stop’s name. 

I’m having nightmares again.  About bugs again.  I was at my mom’s house, and I looked over by the stairs and there on the wall was a large bug.  Similar to the ones I described last time except the legs were cartoonishly larger… they looked like blue claw crab legs.  Actually… no.  They looked like Dungeness crab legs, except bluish, uncooked blue crab legs’ color. 

This was a long, involved nightmare…

The person who used to interpret my dreams for me stopped talking to me months ago. 

*rubs forehead*  I can’t even really make heads or tails of my dream.  I mean, there are parts I get, and others I don’t.  A lot of people made an appearance, and at one point, I even said, “Today must be run-into-people-I-know day!” 

It wasn’t a good dream. 

Descent into hell.

And now, for a bit of mood lightener: apparently in FL there was a case brought against a high school for banning students from expressing support for gay rights.  Part of the press release, after the case was won by the student, says:

“Federal Judge Rules That Students Can’t Be Barred From Expressing Support for Gay People
Principal Said Rainbows Are “Sexually Suggestive”

But it gets BETTER!!!

“PANAMA CITY, FL – After a two-day trial in which a Florida high school principal testified that he believed clothing or stickers featuring rainbows would make students automatically picture gay people having sex, a federal judge today ruled that the school violated students’ First Amendment rights of students. “

HAHAHAHAHA BECAUSE I THINK OF GAY PEOPLE HAVING SEX WHENEVER I SEE A RAINBOW RIGHT???  DOESN’T EVERYONE???  HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled program, what you’re all really here for: pictures of food. 

How this…

became this.  Details later. 

Some demons to battle, and another day I don’t want to.

Sigh.

oh girls… girls just wanna have fun…

So… I’m having an exhausting week already and it’s only Tuesday. 

On the bright side, I’ve noticed that my back hasn’t been hurting when I wake up anymore.  I’m not sure what changed, but I now wake up pain-free.  It’s a very unusual feeling, one that I am enjoying very much. 

Okok… so I’ve been blabbing away for a few weeks now about this game I’ve been playing.  Well, here you go: Tribal Wars.  (Yes, that’s a referral link, so use it to sign up!  I referred two people who signed up and now play as obsessively as I do, but I didn’t know there were referral links so I didn’t get rewarded… boo…)  I’m in World 15, and one guess what my username is, seriously, sign up, send me a message, start playing, and I’ll even let you join my awesome tribe.    Hopefully you’ll get a village near me and I can even try to help you out initially

Anyways, I’m really exhausted so here’s some pictures of food to help you out.

Lunch.

Yesterday’s lunch, delicious.

Off to Tribal Wars…

This weather is making me sick.  I wrote this email post this morning but couldn’t remember the right email address to send to, so it bounced back.  (I looked it up and apparently I thought it’d be smart to use my SS# as the email address.  HAH.. HA…)
