it is FINALLY thursday... i have felt like it was thursday on monday and that it was friday for the past two days. i don't know why i'm so beat.. i mean.. it's not just because i sleep late, because it's more than a tiredness.. it's like a "man this week is long" but it had just started. maybe i'm all throw off my working some of the extra days. or maybe it's the entertaining houseguests/relatives thing. either way.. i am GLAD that tomorrow is friday and the weekend follows. i have almost nothing to do this weekend, and i wonder if it's better to keep it that way and just sleep the time away (but then you wonder where the weekend went) or go out and do fun stuff. i do however need to get to the gym.. i haven't been in quite awhile.. too many things to do. aside from the fact that i've figured out that once i get home, i only have 10 hours until i have to wake up for work again. it sounds like a lot, but if you factor in 6-8 hours for sleep, then i only have 2-4 to eat dinner, and do anything else... doesn't leave much time for anything. i'm not complaining.. but it definitely hard working long hours. and there's a gym next door to my work, except since i already have a membership, i can't join this one that i see eveyone going to on their lunch breaks/after work. somehow i feel left out or something... and it would be super convenient.. but it's not meant to be. i've tried waking up earlier to go before i work.. but that just isn't happening either. my bed is too comfortable.

been trying to entertain my relatives (when i'm not working) this week before they leave (today and tomorrow). went shopping and then took my uncle and cousin to krispy kreme to have them try the wonder that is melt in your mouth donuts. we got free samples, but they weren't hot off the tray, so they were sub-par. but i wanted to take them, because my cousin really likes donuts, and there's this donut place around the corner from their house (in taiwan) called "mr. donut" i think it's a japanese brand or something. but there is ALWAYS a long long line, and people wait 4+ hours to have donuts.. i guess like the intial krispy kreme madness. but also they apparently have 100 different kinds of donuts. really? who need 100?

tuesday was chinese new year's even dinner. the one thing about having relatives in town is that everything is more elaborate. we tend to go out to eat more, we do more things at home, and my mom definitely cooks more. so if they weren't here, especially with my dad leaving, we probably would have done nothing, but because there were here we had a HUGE dinner, hot pot, steak, crab - the works. last night my cousin (picky/bratty/antisocial) wanted to go to sizzler, and of course my mom obliged, so they went, i met them up after i got off work, fought traffic and crazy drivers to get there and then scarfed down as much food as i could in 40 minutes before i had to leave for work again. i had a salad plate and a real food plate and my uncle told me i should eat more and get my money's worth. hahah.. i was so uncomfortably full though i couldn't even try... not in the time frame i had either. i told them to eat a little more for me. although my cousin (older, not bratty, just shy) is amazing. he can pack away so much food, but yet he's so tall and lanky. he eats so much when he's out here, but he tells me that he loses weight. boo!! we went to costco and brought home like a bunch of hot dogs for everyone, i think he ate 4. last night he had the "big appetite combo" which was like steak, ribs, shrimp and a baked potato i think, plus 3 or 4 plates of food, and who knows what else after i left... he was still going strong. and it's not like he's all super athletic or anything either, he sits around and plays computer games all day. i think maybe he has his mom's metabolism or something. but i'm always amazed at how much he eats sometimes.

work last night was okay... but the refs were passing out penalties like candy. i think once they started calling them, they just had to keep doing it, to prove a point... even though some of the minor stuff sometimes other refs let go. but there were 21 penalties, 15 of them in the 3 period, and most of them all during stop time.. grrr. i was "racing" with the guy on the olympic rink to see who's games would finish first and i totally lost. sucks. oh well.. more money for me right? :)

they're still shooting the commercial here.. and i really want to go watch. i found out that one of the girls in it is chantal robson, wade robson's sister. i want to tell her that i love her brother. hahah.. i bet she hates that. :P

"i love the people at my work, they're all psychos!"
"gee, you're so pretty... it's a good thing you don't let it go to your head."
