Grandma's 84th.

This last Saturday was my Grandma's 84th birthday.

We celebrated by eating Chinese food at Hee Hing restaurant in town. I'm talking about REAL chinese food...none of that Panda Express stuff!! It always amazes me how different real chinese food is from the "americanized" version.

Here's the gang: Uncle Eddie, Uncle Francis, Uncle Calvin, Grandma, and smiley Seth!

The food we ate dinner was interesting...its all still pretty foreign to me. My uncles call me Steamed Rice because thats pretty much all that I eat while I nibble on all of the other stuff. Seth will try anything, and they think he's awesome, especially Uncle Calvin, right Seth? haha.

Here's some of the food that I made them order:

The uncles enjoy picking on me for my food choices, especially Uncle Eddie. He will hold the dish out in front of me until I take some while saying, "Ah, come on Steamed Rice, just TRRRYYYY." And then when I don't eat it he says, "Bah! I bet you just want your American pizza or something." Mom, I bet you can visualize this whole convo happening, right? haha.

It was a good dinner, and Grandma enjoyed herself. Seth and I took her to Ala Moana mall afterwards so she could shop for some shoes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!!!!

Favorites!

Favorite person + favorite food...

AWESOME!

All that is missing to make a perfect day is my fat bulldog!

**BTW, I think they put crack in these sandwiches because I am seriously addicted!**

Within hours of today...

...

-AT&T decided they wanted to screw up my life and give me ANOTHER new number (2nd time this month!).

*I can't stand contacting tons of people/companies to tell them I have a new number*

-I went from the glorious iPhone to a $20 Gophone.

-The guy at AT&T erased ALLLLLL of my contacts on my sim card.

*So I can't even tell people I have a new number.*

I hate cell phone companies. I wish I could just communicate telepathically instead.

Sadddddd day.

Lookie Lookie!

As I was mourning the passing of Cadbury mini egg season, I came across this on Saturday:

My first reaction was a HUGE GASP which caught strange looks from fellow shoppers nearby. My second reaction was "Rachel would die if she saw this!" and I snapped a picture for her. My third reaction was to grab the whole box and run.

And guess what. They were on SALE.

You better believe I bought a ton. And I'm taking the secret of this location to my grave. Or at least until I come up with the $$ to buy them all myself. hehe.
