Dinner with bloggers on Friday night to celebrate the presence of Dan among us - it was nice to see a bunch of people I hadn't seen in a while, meet some new people, and eat good Korean food.

Jessa's birthday on Saturday was great fun. I wish she could turn 30 every year. Who knows? Perhaps I'll turn 30 next year and let her mom throw me a party too :) (more pictures)

Mother's day was really nice this year, a marked difference from last year, which included arguments, people storming out, others making threats, etc. Yeah, none of that this year. It was nice. I did not, however, get to see my niece, which I had been looking forward to. In fact, I haven't seen her since my birthday in Feb. I imagine she's huge by now. Or at least walking and talking. I hope I get invited to her college graduation.

I'd have pictures of the rest of the weekend, since it was absolutely beautiful, but I left my camera at Jessa's mom's place and couldn't retrieve it till last night.

Looking forward to doing Bay to Breakers on Sunday, as well as meeting up with the girls later on to see Van Helsing. Not looking forward to more apartment hunting on Saturday - I am so tired of driving! And at $2.30/gal for the cheap stuff, it ain't cheap either.

Currently contemplating the nature of relationships, both friendships and those of a romantic nature. Regarding the latter, it's hard to entertain feelings for someone with whom you can't spend any time with in the foreseeable future. But what do you do with yourself when you can't help it? Regarding the former, it's almost the same challenge, to remain close to those you spend almost no time with. I need to make more of an effort to see my friends who live nearby. If I can do this without spending too much money, my life will be complete :)
