Some Highlights from this Weekend
Posted on February 20, 2011 by Ching under Life.
So I started out the weekend by making Brian go over material from a stress management training class that I had attended during the week. I’m sick, I know. Hey, I thought it was really helpful so I was eager to share it with him. Not that he needed it. Brian is a cool cucumber. I think everything we learned in that class, he already practices. With the exception of video games, which apparently should be a “Quadrant IV” activity but Brian uses it as a stress reliever.
Brian was a good sport and did the activities in the handout with me. It was really neat to compare our answers. Yes, we are nerds who like to do activities like this on a Friday night. We have a lot of sex, but we have times when we do stuff like this too. Our definition of quality time may not be the same as yours, so don’t be so judgmental. LOL. We are nerds who happen to embrace being nerdy.
This is Brian checking Netflix, while I was getting ready. Oh, yeah. I forgot to mention that we went to check out BOSSA Grill on Friday night. It was just okay. It’s not likely that we’ll be back.
Suede was a lot of fun, as always. Karla came for the salsa lesson, so Brian and I decided to come earlier and check it out too. We also saw Tita Tessie, Tito Don, Tita Emmy and Tito Tex. They were at the “Dancing with the Stars” thing at Heroes earlier that night and then came to Suede afterward.
Tita Emmy and Tito Tex looked great on the dance floor.
Here’s a picture of Brian dancing with Karla.
Our friend Rene, dancing with Karla.
He is a dancing fiend. LOL.
We left Suede pretty early on Friday because we were there a couple of hours earlier than usual. That didn’t mean we went to bed early, though. We still managed to stay up until at least 2 AM.
The next morning, Becca joined me in step class. She got there early and even had my step ready. I could get used to that! LOL. Thanks, Becca! She told me that she was worried that I wasn’t going to make since she noticed we were up so late the night before. I told her that Jenni’s Saturday step class is one that I don’t miss, even if I only have four hours of sleep. It’s my most favorite class of all!
We went to Jeff and Stacy’s for a sushi party on Saturday. We got to meet some new people, who it turns out know people we know as well. It’s such a small world.
We had a jolly good time at the sushi party and were there pretty late. We learned a lot, though. I think Brian and I are going to stop by Bed Bath and Beyond next weekend to pick up some sushi-making stuff and try our hand at it.
Today, we spent the afternoon at the Feifel’s for Ethan’s first birthday. He is so cute!
Anyway, Jay and Becca are here now so I’m going to wrap this up. Until next time!

We used our cedar wick juniper candle from Waxman Candles for the first time the other day. I love it. I think I might need to order some more. 😉

Mom’s Orchid
Posted on February 20, 2011 by Ching under Babies.
Mom sent me this in a picture message the other day. Her orchid came back to life and bloomed! It looks a little wonky, but the flowers look great. I wonder if Penelope will be reflowering soon also.

Waxman Candles
Posted on February 19, 2011 by Ching under Shopping, Travel.
Waxman Candles was definitely a trip highlight. The store, which has been around for over 40 years, is a Mass Street landmark.
There were so many varieties of candles to choose from, it was like I’d died and gone to candle heaven. I bet April would really love this place!
It’s a wonder that we didn’t spend any more than we did.
The folks at Waxman are so nice. They let us see the back room and the back back room. We got to watch them make some candles.
I even got to meet the Waxman himself.
It was pretty cool! Actually, the entire downtown Lawrence is pretty cool. There are so many restaurants and shops Mass Street that it really takes more than just a day to take it all in. Brian and I are already planning our next trip. =)
