Ummmmm….

I’m trying to remember what I did this weekend. Oh yeah, I went to a branch office to work on Friday, so I slept in. I finished work around 3pm. Nice. I made a hair appointment and got my hair cut. I can’t say its the best haircut I’ve ever gotten, but I’m not unhappy and it was fairly cheap. I cut off about four inches and now my hair is just past shoulder length. This is pretty short for me, but I figure, why not?

We didn’t do much on Friday except rejoice that it was finally the weekend. Saturday, we drove over to Milpitas to get Danny some queso (finally!) at On the Border and then did a little white-trash shopping at Wal-mart. There’s nothing wrong with Wal-Mart per se, I just hate doing battle with the screaming children rolling around in the aisles. Yes, they roll on the floor. I don’t get it.

Despite our best efforts, we could not avoid going to the outlet mall since we were in the vicinity. We got out of there unscathed and headed back to Menlo Park.

Saturday night, we watched the movie “Hero.” It looked a lot like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. I liked it. I don’t think it was as good at CTHD, but it was a lot of fun to watch regardless.

Yesterday, we ate breakfast at home and then wandered over to the local farmers market to get some fresh veggies. I probably bought more than I need, but lately I’ve been motivated to make veggie dishes at home besides salad. I also got a huge bunch of daylilies for $3 and they are now displayed on our kitchen table.

And now for the first installment of Cooking at Work (cue theme music). Today, I attempted to make a decaf mocha like the kind you pay $3 for at Starb$cks. Unfortunately, I did not have the chocolate syrup. Instead, I had hot cocoa powdered mix. I mixed this together with some coffee and some low-fat milk. It was disgusting. To get the flavor out of my mouth, I chewed a piece of minty gum. The disgusting flavor only intensified. Just think about it: coffee, milk, hot cocoa, and mint. Bleacchh. From now on, I will leave the magic-making to starb$cks.
