Jumble . Hodgepodge . Mishmash

It's hard deciding what to post when your week's been a mishmash of events. First I meant to express my disdain for the gut I've developed due to a recent week-long alcohol binge in attempt to remedy an unexpected turn of events - yet again. That was a freaking long sentence, I know. Then I wanted to write about Casey's visit over the weekend. How we had dinner at The Slanted Door, whose service I absolutely abhor to this day, and spent the rest of our time doing touristy things I would never dream of doing if I didn't love him that much. After all, it's been 5 years since we last met. Of course I'm not forgetting my first visit to a strip club per someone's request (not mentioning any names here) where an "exotic dancer" came up to me and expressed empathy sympathy on the fact that I work an office job. Darling, I'm doing fine. I've also been learning Chinese on my own focusing on jian's this weekend: 见 (see), 渐 (gradually), 间 (time-related), 尖 (sharp) and 捡 (can't remember). FINALLY, I wanted to welcome the new Bumblebeegrad masthead, which I'm especially proud of because of its honest representation of a snippet in my life.

So there. All in 1 lousy paragraph.

Casey and me with the Marc by Marc Jacobs Easter Skunk.
I did it Laurie!

**Apologies for the excessive use of negative adjectives on this post. Just trying to make a point here.

Something missed in that daunting paragraph:

I had a terrible nightmare of tragedy and death last night, and woke up sweating. In the horrified state that I was, I txt'd my mom who in response wrote: Think about your (insert secret wish here) and you'll have sweet dreams. Sleep well. Love you. Moms are probably nature's greatest gifts.
