i am tired and will probably go to sleep soon. so let's see, sean came up this weekend. it was nice. especially since it was a threee day weekend. let's see...what did we do friday night? thinking...thinking......so yeah....on valentine's day, which is a hallmark holiday, we started our day by going to the farmer's market over at the university marketplace. it was nice to walk around and see all the food and fruits and nuts. and i just love going to those things. i got some walnuts, yummm!!! the funniest thing happened. sean was going to buy these walnuts for me, and some garlic pistacios and banana chips and when he pulled out his wallet to pay for it, it was cashless. it was so 'classic.' i thought it was really funny. hehe. then we got some sandwiches at le diplomat. i hadn't been there for a while so i decided to try something new. i ordered the brocolli chicken mushroom. it was pretty good cause the brocolli and mushroom were steamed. those are my two vices, but i had a hinkering for them that day. i didn't have it with ranch and i had the garlic sauce on the side. 'on the side' --that too is so classic. when harry met sally.

after our meal, we went to trader's joe. i love going to supermarkets. i love walking around and looking at all the goodies. i got my groceries for the week and we discovered this awesome pizza dough. it was so cool. later we went to costco. that was fun too. and we even went to a supermarket. too bad it was ralphs. but oh well. it was still fun.

so then, i attempted to make chocolate covered strawberries for sean to surprise him, but it was more complicated than i thought. so listen up, here are some important tips. orginally, i was going to use some ghiradelli chocolate. so i melted that, but it didn't melt too well, so i though, i'd add some grand marnier to help it melt, but it just wouldn't. so i scratched that. wasted chocolate, so sad. then i went out to get some but the store i had in mind was closed. luckily, i forgot that i had some laying around. i was saved. so on to attempt #2. i melted 1 cup of chocolates morsels successfully. and then added the liquor....that is when i realized that was a BAD idea. you so can't add liquor with chocolate cause it hardens it quickly and well that was so wasted. so sad. i thought i was screwed, but fortunately i had enough to make 5 strawberries. SAVED. all in all, it worked out.

Sean made the best veggie pizza ever. it was so yummy. he had the toughest time rolling out the dough with our lack of flour. but it all paid off cause the smell was delicious and the taste was oh so yummy.

on sunday, we went to arcadia to pick up my baby sis. we had a lovely meal there with my parents and i got to take some more lute back to my pad. hehehe.

today, we finally saw donnie darko. eh...i didn't think the movie was all that. overall, i didn't really like it. so to make this more lively, we saw 50 first dates. it was a date movie, but i thought it was just okay, it was cute, but i would probably never want to watch it again.

alrighties, i am pretty tired, so i think i am just going to hit the hay. i am so happy, it's almost or is it tuesday? it's nice, short week. yuppie. score!
