I don’t know what to do with my chronic chapped lips. I’m getting really frustrated! It seems almost like whenever the seasons change, or whenever I’m exposed to even the littlest amount of wind, my lips get chapped so quickly. Just as readily, the condition goes from bad to worse. So right now I’m suffering from painful, itchy clown lips. It’s really annoying! We were talking about it over dinner at Italian Garden with Mom and Dad B. You know how whiny I am so I naturally ended up whining about my pain and suffering. It was at this point that my father-in-law proudly produces a stick of Carmex from his pocket. He told us of how effective the product is at preventing and easing chapped lips. He went on to list more benefits. Brian disagreed, saying that Carmex supposedly has a chemical ingredient that makes your lips even drier and, as a result, rendering you completely and totally dependent upon the product. “I never get any satisfaction from Carmex,” he concluded. I go, “But baby! You’re not supposed to be using it for that!” Mom and Dad B laughed hysterically. … Seriously though, does anyone have any suggestions?

Is it me or do my parents look goofy in this picture? I guess I should be glad they look fun rather than stiff. Imagine these two, drunk on sangria and playing karaoke challenge in the living room. It’s hilarious! Anyway, my parents are the only people I can karaoke with because they’re the only people who can endure my awful singing voice. Don’t worry. You will never have to witness any of my performances in local karaoke joints. My vocal stylings are strictly confined to my parents’ living room.

Brian and I treated his parents to lunch at Granite City Food and Brewery today. They have had a rough couple of days so we wanted to take them out to lunch and maybe get their mind thinking more positive thoughts, like good food and good brews. LOL. I took the opportunity to try the mussels on the appetizers menu. One would think I would’ve learned a thing or two from the whole Siam Cuisine experience yesterday. But you know me, I can’t help being adventurous when it comes to food. Anyway, these were excellent! I love mussels, but I hadn’t had mussels in several years. We used to have them all the time in the Philippines, but since Brian doesn’t really like seafood we don’t ever go to any seafood restos and I don’t know of any other regular restos around here that serve mussels. I like Granite City because their prices are pretty reasonable. Our damage was well under $100. Of course, it was lunch time and no one really drank any alcohol – except for me. I had another Hawaiian vacation. I’m not sure what’s in it, but it’s so yummy! Anyway, drinking is normally what drives up your dining bill. At $8 a pop, by the time your fifth drink rolls around you can plan on eating ramen noodles the rest of the week. Ha! Ha! Ha! Of course, that just applies to us poor folk. All you filthy rich people out there who can afford to eat at Cibola once a week can bite me. LOL. Maybe that’s why I like champagne brunch at Legends so much? Those mimosas rock and they’re only like $2 or something. So for about $25 a person you eat all you want and get a good buzz going. What a way to start the Sunday weekend wrap up! Geez, I wandered off topic again! Anyway, Brian mentioned at lunch that mussels are an aphrodisiac. Too bad he doesn’t like them. Isn’t it ironic that I’m the one who loves to eat mussels? Like my libido needs any help! I ate every single one today (and then I ate pork chops; I know, I’m a pig) so now Brian is hiding from me. He’s probably worried that I’m going to rape him or something. Ha! Ha! Ha!

To commemorate Logan’s first day of kindergarten, Dad created a short video (making movies is Dad’s newest passion). You can check out Logan’s video here. Enjoy!

Video footage for the 2005 Filipino ball is now available for viewing online courtesy of my dad who is hosting the video file on his website. The running time is about 90 minutes which is almost the length of your average movie. You might as well pop some popcorn while you’re at it.
Incidentally, DVD copies are available for $50 a pop. Email Rico Alonso to request a copy. Or you can click here to watch the final copy of the video online.
