3 day weekend glory

hey everyone...

after a long first week back at school, it's now saturday and things are looking better. monday is a holiday for us...w00t!

being back at school was sort of nice but sort of not... =) you probably know the reasons why not, but i liked being back in the classroom...like things are getting back to normal, including the chatter of my kids. this has been remedied by a stick whacking my desk whenever they are talking. =)

feels like i haven't seen or talked to you guys in so long...and it's actually true.

ALBERT - glad to see you are enjoying santa cruz...must be nice and i know you were longing for freedom. one day we'll have to see it. too bad we couldn't have one last get together before you left, but february is coming soon and we'll do something great for your birthday.

KIM - back in boston! and either busy as ever or partying hard since it's only the first week. =) i'm sure boston is more enjoyable cuz you and phil see each other on a regular basis. sad we didn't have dinner or something one last time...but you'll be back soon, and then we shall devour korean bbq together this time!

PATRICK - hey!! you know it's ok to leave the house and have communication other than through your computer right??? we haven't seen you since vegas...or talked to you. you're still a mokroopal that's in southern cali, so maybe you could hang out with us once in a while to get some fresh air - unless the house is in some alternate universe and this is not possible.

LISA - how was your first week back?? crazy kids from vacation...those first couple of days were ok, but when wednesday hit it was like a tornado of energy. glad you're actually getting the toilet fixed...lol. maybe we can do something this weekend, that is if you are not busy doing other things...i know your quarter ends soon. if you need help, let me know...it would be a nice break from my own work. =)

RODEL - hello my dear...i see you the most now! =) can't go on the cruise cuz 1) your vacation is the week before mine and i wouldn't have that friday off and 2) if i go on the cruise i won't be able to afford boston. how crazy that mr. patel is getting married in india...sounds like he gave in to the arranged marriage bid. dinner last night was yummy! prime rib was good...how odd that the chicken was not really cooked though. i still love black angus...that dinner for two was muy awesome!! and i got to eat creme brulee too...woo woo! going out to dinner is fun...next time we'll get you a stronger drink. love, love, love you.. =)

if anyone is around this weekend, it would be nice to get together. =) call me up for a dinner or what not...ikea is also having a sale...as well as crate & barrel. and...souplantaton has sent me some coupons too...hehe =) if i don't hear from anyone, enjoy any free time you have and perhaps we shall talk soon. =)
