Mini-Toast firsts:
-He's starting to like fuzzy blankies. He was using them to wipe his mouth, now he's got it wrapped around his head or he'd cover his face with them. Cute!
-He's starting to manipulate the pacifier with his left hand. He takes it out and puts it back into his mouth! Woo! Now he needs to learn how to pick it up next to him.

Mini-Toast meets Delilah for the first time.
it wasn't too tight of a fit but still tight enough with the baby carrier handle at it's topmost, there was about 4-6 inches till it touched the ceiling. Thats in the middle of the back seats.

Woke up and continued our way down to Santa Clarita. Hung out with Little Emma, who was born about 12 hours before mini-toast. We meet up with Ian's wife for the first time, shes very friendly n cool. Mini-toast was acting up, we think because he wanted nothing of the car seat, being strapped in there for a few hours yesterday. He was a bit too active, but we think he outgrew his clothes overnight again. Man!

Off to the armpit of Cali.
Our Journey is the highway 280-92-238-580-205-5-120-99 method. There was horrid traffic near livermore, 2 lanes were closed on a saturday for roadwork(??). But i roamed into livermore to get around it. That was a bit of a delay, which sucked hard. While in livermore we decided to eat, and with that mini-toast decided he wanted to eat too. Ahh yea, are we ever gonna leave?
We eventually floated off to Freaksno and hung out with one of Fluffielady's friends for a few hours. She has 2 kiddos, 2 and 3 years of age and they were cool kids. They wanted to meet the mini-toast and we wanted to meet their little ones.
Upon leaving, we wanted some kinda fast food to eat while driving southward. What did we pick? Del Taco, can you eat tacos while driving? Thats a skill!

Man time flies when your waking up at noon after tending to the little one, it'll be a month tommorrow! Today we saw a taste of the insurance bill. $25k!
Deep thoughts:
-When i grew up, it was almost stereotypical for an asian family to force their child to play a musical instrument at an early age. Now that i have one of my own, i wonder, did those parents play instruments as well?
-The Auto industry is looking for a bailout.. I don't think it'll work, they spent all this time selling tank SUV's and reaping out of it. Now they're taking a dump and need help? Where did all the mad SUV profit go? Their main reasoning is not for the big three, but for the auxiliary companies that sell automotive items to the big 3.
-Speaking of cars, i'm an avid watcher of Top Gear. The thing that confuses me is style in europe is different over here. It's not size that i'm talking about; the US is all about big and large, and europe is compact and small. But i'm talking about the curves of sheetmetal and the such, Its interesting.. If only the big 3 sends over their compact euro cars. Ford says that their 42mpg Diesel Focus costs more and people wouldn't buy it over here. I dunno, it seems that people are quite focused on MPG now. Even if gas is $2.49, people don't want to be played by the roller coaster price plays at the pump.

Today
I did a little dance with my iphone to update it to 2.1. What i tried to do (theory) did not work as planned (reality), so you must yield and overcome (Tao, Ch.22), be dynamic and go with the flow. Bah, it sucks but i'm used to reloading software, just trying to remember what was installed is the challenge.
Fluffielady and i hung out at Juliana's 1st berfday party at fuddruckers. It was cool, hung out with a few peoples. Chat it up a bit. Being that its the second time i've ever been to a fuddruckers, the food was not bad for its price.
After the party, we ventured to look for some kiddo stuff. With our babyshowers, we accumulated massive amounts of Carter's kid clothing. Yet i've stumbled upon web articles involving most of their clothing line. It's a 'rare skin reaction' that doesn't sound so rare. Our solution was to purchase some iron on patches that'll cover up the tacky feeling tagless clothes. In the process of hunting down such patches at Jo-Ann's, i manage to find this:
Jo-Ann's fabrics has to be hip on these youngins. It's a Cross Stitch Ornament that you do yourself. It reminds me of those times when my brother and i go ragging on each other by saying 'yo mama', 'no! YO mama!' heh..
Went to Target and Babys 'R Us, looked for some goodies. Met a coworker who just had triplets. He has a nifty triple person stroller that has a steering wheel since its so long. Got some kitty cat food, returned a few child potties, how many does one need?

Did the Hospital tour, things look good. The place is going under construction, hopefully there aren't any crazy detours on that fateful day.
After, we got some drapes for the computer room and headed to a friend of fluffielady's to housesit and water the plants. Nothing like a pool on a hot day.

Fluffielady and i awaken early to the bastard heat that still lingered with us overnight, man this insulation is good, too good. Soo good that we slept downstairs where its cooler.
We headed out to high tea time at Tranquilitea near oceana. We surveyed the scene for a future baby shower, and with that came a scone and some Rooibos Tea, quite tasty, but blazing hot tea in a hot morning doesn't work out right.
After high tea, we marched over to Foster City for some Red Egg n Ginger, for Jasmine! I don't take as much photos of peoples anymore, i need to do so without overdoing it.
Roz n Jivs, childrenfolk!
It was cool, food was yummie, met some pplz, eat some eats.
Got home and saw this. Kinda weird with the jetsteam going into infinity. Fluffielady thinks da plane went down, i doubt it.

Roaming the Peninsula today.
We were supposed to do some things here at home, but that was done yesterday: Some drop offs, some checks deposited etc. etc. So today we ran off to Foster City to Drop off some more, and to pick up my oil pan from Brian that i forgot from a while back. Seeing how Delilah is 60miles from 100k and the Moto is 150miles from 32k, dino oil shall flow soon. Went to drop off and pick up at Belmont and i managed to see a deer just standing by the road munching on grass.
Hello Fuzzy Deer. I pulled over and it didn't care what i was doing 20 feet away.
Did our thing around the hills of Belmont and went to Palo Alto to see a girlie with big eyelashes n her parents. Ate at the Sushi Haus by Stanford, it's pretty fresh n good, just a little pricy.
Hung out with them and roamed the Stanford Mall, this would be my 5th time there, it's still the same, but with lots of doggies, well behaved ones at that. I like the parking garage where everybody is stalking people walking to their cars. If you go up to the second floor, one whole side is void of cars. I don't get it, is 1st floor parking prestigious? Do you get bonus points? Bourgeois land? Theres floors too.. jeez.
We floated about there and then off to their haus. Chris is a Gamer and i got to fiddle with the drums on Rock Band. They really need that game for the Wii (slated maybe for june22?). The only thing i don't like about the drumming, is if you do extra beats, it counts against you. The foot pedal is hard to master in conjunction with the drum. Beh! Thanks for the block rockin beatz. Tis fun!

Level Of Difficulty at Work: 0.25 out of 10
Time During Lunch: Medium
Yesterday was kinda fun.
Got some groceries, got another algae eater, hopefully this one is cootie free. We noticed that the many feeder fish tanks were devoid of fishies. Dropped off the fish and groceries. So the aftermath of fish medicine n what not, a few others perished and we're back to 5 fishes. ugh. Our largest fish this bright golden one, looks all battle-scarred. Hes a trooper!
Onward to Pauls haus for a kiddie possee up. Kiddies a plenty! I had some practice with Octavius, hes so mellow. Pat,pat, pass the bebe!
For dindins we headed to K's and i had a hit of Mizu No Shriabe Ginjo Sake (Translation: Melody of Water), it was on the list of drinks to imbibe. It's pretty good for a sake, clear, watery looking. Its quite smooth thats not dry and has a slightly thicker than water feel. It feels flowery like a hint of rose or lavender first hits you. The best thing is that it does taste like water until it hits you like a Night Train. Good stuff good stuff. The sake, not the night train..
Our neighborhood cat is doing well, hes on antibiotics and after a few days of that yummy pink stuff, he can put some weight on his leg. Neato.

Last Nights Purdy Stars. Hopefully it shows up.
Today was pretty cool, headed off to shoot some IPSC to practice for next sundays Special IPSC match. Todays goal was to hit better then to spray it all away. Clear sunny sky, sorta cool sorta warm weather was alright.
129 rounds thrown downrange. I did pretty decently, i hope. It was my first time to engage a texas-star as well as a mover. I did ok on the star but the mover went off on me. It was the only miss of the match. It was packed with people, with 17 person squads meant there was about 60 ppl there. We were done around 2:30pm.
Came home and Paul n Crew visited and hung out for a bit. Silly Chloe and Lizzie running about showing us how unchildproof our house was. Little Octavius (Ben) was all knocked out most of the time.

A Red Egg party for Juliana Low @ the Empress of China!
Too bad i only took one pic and that was of the photographer David(heh). Julianas looking good at 3 months and i got to see a few peoples that i haven't seen in ages. The 3 Chicas + 1 Baby, Eddie N Alison (Congrats with one in the oven), Jay n Jensen, Jordan and his BestBuy Fetish. Jerry N Vicky sporting the slightly beaten look still, but theyre hanging in there..
Buffet Style Lunch was nice, a little on the old school style cooking, but its been awhile since i had Ginger Pig Knuckle Soup, ahh yea the good stuff, all i need after that is a bowl of rice porridge with pork and thousand-year old egg! Add a Fried Dough Stick of course!
Afterwards fluffielady, myself and my brother roamed union square to no incidents and no purchases. There was still a strong human presence out there peering around for the greatest of deals. Look as they might, i doubt Tiffany's ever had a sale.
Gotta slip in that i had a haircut yesterday, its been a while!

BounceHouses kick ass. Except that now i think i bruised my side a little. We went to one of fluffielady's ex-coworkers birthday party for their daughter who turns 4. And you gotta have a bounce house for it, especially a Disney Princess themed one. Kids were everywhere, kid madness! None the less, after a bunch of people came n gone, there was a lull in the action and fluffielady and i went into the bounce house.
I'm down with owning one, taping up the edges of my snowboard and practicing in there. It'd be sweet, but people would be wondering whats going on at our place.
Another fellow ex-coworker sprouted a baby girl just a week before, and was shown off.
I tried some Sotol Hacienda De Chihuahua Anejo Tequila, it's pretty good, very smooth and quick with no nasty afterness to it, like patron silver but with slight differences. I might hafta hunt down one of these.

Except orographic rain sprayed on her.
2) Yesterday Jerry-O sports a new bebe grrl Juliana, woo! Kiddies are coming everywhere!
