Happy August!!!

I think I had a similar subject title last year hahaa... it went something like this... i love august cuz it's my birth month and i get to eat cake every single day!!! haha.. Oi... i can't believe it's been a year already since I started this post! I am indeed turning the big 3-0 tomorrow. Silence.

Gosh, what an eventful decade. Here's a timeline of Tiramesu's 20's recapo haha:
  • 20-21 yrs old: went on loveboat and learned to party even harder than in sorority, gained like 20-30 lbs in college (undergrad)
  • 21yrs old: after i graduated from undergrad, my mom forced me to go on a diet - lost 20-30 lbs in about 6 months, simultaneously I worked at crappy puny i-bank in irvine/costa mesa
  • 22 yrs old: a dark time - continued working in oppressive corporate setting, gained some weight back haha
  • 23 yrs old: ceased working at Equicrap, started small business with mom
  • 24 yrs old: got bored. took golf clinic with anan and el gato haha. took wine tasting class by myself! husband search began and succeeded! found Chuperman on FRIENDSTER haha... or, we remet in cyberspace. y'all know that chuperman had a crush on me first in junior high right?! apparently he got a big kick outta me cuz he remembers that i sold super lemons to unassuming white kids for $1/piece and that i'd always wear a pink hypercolor shirt haha
  • 25 yrs old: long-distance with chuperman... chuperman was up in berkeley finishing up his MPH while i was down in OC slaving away at the family-owned lab. every single night we'd be on the phone until 3am
  • 26 yrs old: got engaged, then got hitched (weight was coincidentally at all-time low to fit into dress), moved to W-bury, started grad school
  • 27 yrs old: the passing of my MIL. God bless her soul. we miss her everyday:( definitely the most difficult time in our lives.
  • 28yrs old: enjoying baby-free lives until oops - got knocked up to make golden piggy deadline, moved back with parentals
  • 29 yrs old: preggo's - gained 35 lbs, finished thesis, gave birth to Chuperbaby, lost 35lbs, and trying to get the hang of this whole mommy thing!
My 20's were an eventful and hectic time for me with many life and career changes. This decade was also a time for me to try to conquer my life-long battle with weight haha. Recently, like last wk, my mom so very tactfully reminded me that I look huge in short dresses and that I look better covered up in skinny jeans. She also inquired "why do you look so tired all the time? why are you tired?" THANKS mom. Do I really need to explain myself.

I have a feeling I won't be slowing down in my 30's with being a soccer mommy haha.

In the meantime, Chuperbaby got sick again this wk, but this time it only lasted 2 days. However, Chuperman is now sick! He had a fever of almost 104 on wednesday! Let's hope he's all better for my bday tomorrow!!

Looking forward to downing champagne and margaritas....!!!!

TGIF!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday!! Wow, you had such an awesome 20's! Now that I look back, we have pretty similar timelines... ahhh, those good old days, huh?

I have an inkling that perhaps our 30's will be quite similar too since it will probably be driven by our little golden piggies! =)
