My body especially wants to be back at home right now because I put it through a battering this morning, and all it wants is some mac and cheese, perhaps with some bacon sprinkled on top. My mom felt sorry for me this morning and surprised me with a bagel, a package of deli meat, and a tub of butter, all wildly expensive and from the import store, and let's just say, it made me so happy... I was close to starting a Save Paula Deen movement.
This was me all day:
I apologize sincerely for being an eyesore.
Why the long face, buddy?
This. The long face because of this.
Worry not, friends, it was nothing major. I had a tiny mole surgically removed from my neck and am already as good as new, but because I had to go into the operating room, get anesthesia, wear dorky blue shoe covers, get SIX stitches, and gave up shower rights for a week, I wanted to throw myself a mini pity party through this post. And through real life as well, but there's another name for that. It's called my parents.
Even having a minor surgery has its benefits though {apart from the obvious health-related ones}. All weekend long, I pretty much got to do whatever I wanted. Soooo, it made for a pretty solid one. Activities included:
Saturday
Dimsum with my cousin and parents,
and then a girls' day out w/ the cuz,
starting with some makeup shopping,
INSANE 90 minute foot massage,
that included a soak in a milk and ginger mixture, neck and back rub,
and this one move that cracked every joint in my back,
and that made me feel like my entire world was coming together,
a hair wash and blowout {for all of $6},
{result},
a breather at the 'bucks,
a long walk,
and then hotpot with the family and this chiclet:
Sunday
sushi lunch with the parental units,
a jaunt out for milk tea,
and then my dad and I spent the remainder of the afternoon
listening to the radio for the Stanford/SJSU game - go Card, go Card!
Then, we met up with my aunt and mom for dinner,
and all headed over to my other aunt's house to hang out with my
other cousin's baby boy - he. is. so. precious.
And then came Monday, D-Day for me.
Here we are.
