This moring while Husband was driving me to the train station to go to work we were talking about our upcoming 8 year anniversary together. Not 8 years of marriage as we only got married barely 2 years ago, but 8 years of being together. *le sigh* So here's how the conversation goes:
Hubs: Our 8 year anniversary is coming up I can't believe it's been so long!
Me: Yep. Almost a decade huh?
Hubs: *gasps* I KNOW what I wanna get you for an anniversary gift!
Me: Oh yeah? *giggles*
Hubs: Since you have to walk from the train after dark some nights on your way home & I worry about you; I going to get you a taser!
Me: ...
Hubs: *big happy smile*
Me: ...... Are you serious?
Hubs: Yah!
Me: Don't do that. I swear if you get me that for our anniversary, I'll frickin' tase YOU!!~
Hubs: Why?!?! You would?? Well, Okay... I'd let you do it.
Me: *mutters* psychopath...
Hubs: I love you Pookie! *big smile*
Me: I love you too dumbass *laughs*
---------------------------------------------------
Yes, I really think he was serious.

Train Talk: WTH Are you going???!
I was on the train yesterday and and young mother with her child boarded the train at the same time I did. The kid was about 8 years old? When they got on the train the mother (while holding the kid's hand) proceeded to walk down the aisle. I'm only guessing she was trying to find a seat for them towards the middle of the car. All of the sudden the kid exclaims, "Mom, Where the hell are you going?!" And I swear I heard everyone in the train just gasp at what the kid was saying to his mother. And she just replied with, "We should sit towards the middle sweetheart." My jaw almost dropped. OMG if that were my kid I would have gave it a swift smack over the head. Pfft... Where the hell am I going?! I know where you're going, you about to get a swift ass whoopin that's what. I couldn't believe this woman was letting her kid talk to her this way. I think people that don't discipline their children are rasing the future delinquents of the world. Just as you would curb your dogs when taking them for a walk. You should keep your kids in check. Just my 2 cents.

I'm not a Morning person
Husband wakes up at 5:30am every morning, to get ready to go to work at 7:00am; although we live right on the campus. He's such a morning person. He wakes up, eats breakfast, reads a bit, checks email, plays with our 2 monkees, and gets ready for work. Me on the other hand, I roll around in bed until 7:15am, brush my teeth & get ready, I fly out of the door at 7:45am drive to the LIRR and take the train down into NYC to get to work by 8:40am.
During that time when Husband is up and about and I'm still knocked out in dreamland he'll come into the bedroom and bother me. Well, I know he doesn't mean though. He'll come in sit on the bed, drink his coffee next to me, poke me on my nose, hug me, kiss me on my nose, start talking to me, toss the monkees up on the bed so they will roll all over me and sniff my face. And of course ask me about 10x if he's bothering me. All the while I'm half asleep answering his questions & talking to him.
And at times when I am asleep and very tired I'm thinking ArRrRgh... leave me alone! I think about it later and I feel so lucky that he cares about me and wants to spend as much time as possible with me before be leaves for work. I think I'll start waking up early just so I can spend time with him also. :)

That's What Friends Are For....
... in good times and bad times, I'll be on your side forever morreeeeeee ... okay, well not forever, but sometimes, kinda sorta.
Ever since earlier this holiday season (yeah, yeah, I know it's Feb 2008 already, but I mean since like, November 2007) I've been thinking about the friendships that I currently have, friendships that I have been in that are now for one reason or another have drifted away. I remember growing up I had two really close girlfriends of whom I thought we'd never stop being friends; but now it seems we've drifted. The direction they have taken in their lives are very different than mine. Not to say that they've taken a bad direction or anything because they haven't. But I guess we're at different stages in life than we once were. And although we do talk once in a long while. You know things will never be the same.
Another friend and I had a misunderstanding which lead to our falling out sometime in highschool. (As a matter of fact I've forgotten why we stopped being friends) I've always thought about her and wondered how she was doing. But always felt like it'd be too awkward to call her. About 2 years ago I mustered up the confidence to call her on her Birthday to wish her a happy birthday. I figured, "Hey what can I lose?" The worst that could happen is having her pick up the phone & say, "Eff you Skank! I don't need no Birfday wish from you!!" (Okay, I knew she wasn't going to say that, but really what's the worse that could happen?) When I called she picked up the phone and I think she was surprised to hear from me. but I think it was a pleasant surprise. And athough we didn't talk much in that 1st call I felt as though a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I opened up the door. Much to my surprise two months later she called me on MY Birthday to wish me a happy birthday. I couldn't believe she remembered. Well, the rest is history from then on, I went to her wedding and was so happy to be a part of something so wonderful in her life, and sure enough she was there for mine. And athough I don't see her as often we do talk every week. I'm sure we'll have plenty of more memories to make together to make up for lost time and thensome more.
My other friend has always been like a big sister to me. We grew up together since she lived upstairs from me when I was in 4th grade till about hrmm.. maybe 7th grade? She would always pull on my pigtails, tease me, berate me & make me cry; but of course I was the tattle that always got her in trouble. (If you're reading this I call it even okay?! LOL) I moved away afterwards went onto highschool & college and it seems our paths have never crossed since then. We reconnected about a year ago and we get along so well it's almost ridiculous. In one of our conversations we even said, "Why the hell didn't we find each other earlier?" And we even surprise our husbands too, whose reactions are like "Who's _____? You've never even spoken about her before. Since when were you friends with ______?" And of course our response was, "Since when didn't I know _____? I've known her forever."
These are just 3 examples of the friendships I have/had. And if you are my friend and are reading this and my post wasn't about our friendship doesn't mean that I don't treasue our friendship. I don't think I have enough webspace to write about all of my friends. So whether you are currently my friend, have once been my friend; I sincerely do treasure having you in my life. Having good friends does make life worthwhile. I dedicate this song to all of you.

หนึ่งในไม่กี่คน - Beau Sunita
ไม่กี่คนที่จะเคียงข้างกัน ไม่กี่คนที่จะคอยร่วมทุกข์ใจ
และไม่ทิ้งฉันไว้ลำพัง ไม่ว่าเจอเรื่องร้ายใด ๆ ก็พร้อมเดินไปกับฉัน
ไม่กี่คนที่จะรักฉันจริง ทำให้ยิ้มในชั่วโมงที่เหงาใจ...
ในชีวิตที่ล่วงเลยมา ไม่กี่คนที่ฉันไว้ใจ
ให้กุมมือ อยากฝากชีวิต
* และหนึ่งในนั้น...ก็คือเธอคนดี
ที่ฉันนั้นโชคดี ที่เราได้พบกัน
จากหนึ่งในร้อย... หนึ่งจากในล้าน
ได้มาร่วมทางเดิน ให้หนึ่งใจฉันได้เจอกับรักดีๆ
ไม่กี่คนที่จะคอยหวังดี มีแค่เพียงไม่กี่คนให้เชื่อใจ
ในชีวิตที่ล่วงเลยมา ไม่กี่คนที่ฉันให้ใจ
แค่บางคนที่อยากบอกรัก
(ซ้ำ *)
(ซ้ำ *)
อยากบอกว่าฉัน...รักเธออีกครั้ง...คนดี...

Basil Chicken - Gai Gra Paow
This is one of my favorite dishes. Really quick and easy to make too! Thought I should share it with you. Enjoy! :)

Ingredients: (serves 2)
If you didn't get the ground chicken, then you will have to chop it up and mince it first.
Mince the cloves of Garlic

Add the oil into the pan and set it on a high heat. When the oil is heated up add in the garlic and the pepper.
When the garlic starts to brown add in the chicken. Stir it constantly.
As the chicken cooks it releases some juices. Keep stir frying until the juices evaporate. Add in the fish sauce and the sugar. Stir in well. Add in the basil and stir it into the meat and remove from the heat.
Serve with rice & enjoy!
