Fun link of the day

I couldn't resist sharing this when I saw it appear on my igoogle home page today--how to make a cake in a mug. Do people seriously do this? I just couldn't help but laugh because I know my cake wouldn't look like that if I tried this. I'd probably set it on fire in the microwave. hahaha.

Safe Arrival

My dad make it to China safely--he's just exhausted. I downloaded Skype last night and called my mom, who filled me in on my dad. I guess his apartment looks just like the pictures online and he's been working US hours still. Oh, and his bed is rock hard so he's been sleeping on the couch. We might end up sending him an air mattress. I'm glad that he's safe and can't wait to hear from him on Skype.

Superbowl Sunday

I met M at Kristen's for the sleepover last night. We ate dinner at Wahoo's Fish Taco. After dinner we watched Swing Vote, the Kevin Costner movie while we painted our nails and used the dead sea mask M got us from Israel. It was comforting to be around such good company, and it helped me forget about my dad's departure.

After leaving Kristen's, I went to a Superbowl party. I was hesitant to go, but I'm glad I went. An old old coworker of mine invited me. We haven't seen each other in probably two-three years. I get evites from her but I've never gone. It was nice to see her and to meet new people. I met one of her coworkers who's in a book club! So I'm excited to attend. We exchanged info and the next meeting is on Monday. The book of the week (or month) is The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz.
