<br />
Yesterday, I was at a Starbucks drive-thru when I was told, upon reaching the pay window, that the car in front of me had paid for my order. I was stunned by this display of kindness from a total stranger and touched by their generosity.<br />
<br />
It also made me smile because it reaffirmed the belief that we're all in this together, watching out for each other during this pandemic.<br />
<br />
I'd like to pay it forward, to bring a little ray of sunshine to someone else's day.<br />
<br />
Please leave a comment here on the blog, or one of my social media platforms, and I'll gift one person $25.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

Every time I sit down to blog, I inevitably end up on Instagram instead.<br />
<br />
Probably because it's more fun to look at dogs doing stuff than working through this writing slump I'm in right now.<br />
<br />
It's not even my Instagram that I'm constantly on, but Piglet's.<br />
<br />
Yes, I've turned into that dogmom.<br />
<br />
I mean, can you blame me when she's doing things like this?<br />

<br />
We signed papers and get the keys tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Now the important question is, what should I name the house?<br />
<br />
Shall we take a tour?<br />
<br />
Let's.<br />
<br />
Here's my new front door:<br />
<br />

<br />
Isn't she pretty?<br />
<br />
And my entry way:<br />
<br />

Going up the stairs goes to the main part of the house, but my part of it will be to the right.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the laundry closet where the new washer and dryer have already been installed by the previous owners.<br />
<br />
I CAN'T WAIT TO DO LAUNDRY, said no one ever.<br />
<br />

<br />
And that's my living room! Staged by the realtors.<br />
<br />
I don't have taste like that.<br />
<br />
I'm actually not sure what my tastes are, but I guess we'll find out as I start decorating my place.<br />
<br />
It's going to be bare for a while because I've decided to live a minimalist lifestyle.<br />
<br />
Or, I'm poor and don't have the money to buy furniture.<br />
<br />
Ya know?<br />
<br />
But, I'm really excited about the little patio right outside the living room.<br />
<br />

And, of course, the bedroom.<br />
<br />

It's just going to be ALL bed. A queen-sized bed so that Piglet and I stop fighting over bedspace.<br />
<br />

<br />
My bathroom, oh my buddha, my bathroom. The past two apartments that I've lived in had not quite optimal bathrooms in terms of setup and cleanliness (no matter how hard I cleaned) so I am ECSTATIC to have a brand new bathroom that no one's ever used before.<br />
<br />
I'm going to roll around in that bathroom and feel like a million bucks.<br />
<br />
It's the little things in life.<br />
<br />

<br />
Speaking of little things, I'll have a little garage where I can park my car!<br />
<br />
I've never had my own garage before and I can't wait to not ever have to look for street parking ever again.<br />
<br />
Is this what "MAKING IT" means???<br />
<br />
I THINK SO.<br />

This is the deck that I'm super excited to sit out on every morning while I eat breakfast and play with Piglet before work.<br />

<br />
Along with the yard.<br />
<br />
I've been waiting for a yard to call my own so that I can play and train with Piglet at home.<br />
<br />
I CAN'T WAIT.<br />
<br />
And there you have it.<br />
<br />
My new house.<br />
<br />
What shall I call her?<br />
<br />
I'm thinking: Sugar Daddy.<br />
<br />
So, I can say things like:<br />
<br />
"Can't wait to go home to Sugar Daddy."<br />
<br />
"Having a Sugar Daddy costs me thousands of dollars a month."<br />
<br />
"Yeah, the rent on my Sugar Daddy is really paying off."<br />

I disappeared.<br />
<br />
After promising I wouldn't.<br />
<br />
But, I've been house-hunting. Again.<br />
<br />
Yes, again.<br />
<br />
Hopefully, this will be the last time I move for a very, very long time.<br />
<br />
Because this is what life has felt like for the past few months:<br />

<br />
Announcing to the world that I'm back to blogging, then making the decision to move right afterwards and disappearing.<br />
<br />
In 2017, I said I was back and introduced Piglet.<br />
<br />
Then decided to move across the country to San Francisco.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Piglet riding shotgun as we drove from NYC to SF.</b></div>
<br />
It's why it took me 16 months to get back to blogging.<br />
<br />
Settling into our new life, developing new habits, working long hours at a job (me), and playing all day at the beach (Piglet) took us 16 months to figure out.<br />
<br />
But we did and I promised myself I'd get back to blogging.<br />
<br />
And I announced it to the world.<br />
<br />
And then I decided to move again (albeit just apartments this time).<br />
<br />
After a frantic apartment search, Piglet and I changed neighborhoods and moved into a one bedroom apartment with a den and a yard for much less rent than I was paying for a small studio in a "more desirable" neighborhood. And we're much happier for it.<br />
<br />
So really, I am back to writing, blogging, and maybe even drawing and photographing.<br />
<br />
Now let's hope I don't decide to move again and disappear for awhile.Janice Yanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03650024158206348318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679953315396841132.post-9001961591871939772019-04-13T02:25:00.000-04:002019-04-13T03:20:02.799-04:00Sixteen Months<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can't believe it's been almost 16 months since I last posted. It definitely doesn't feel like 16 months have passed.<br />
<br />
I've missed this.<br />
<br />
My own space to be creative.<br />
<br />
And perhaps a place to gush about Piglet.<br />
<br />
I thought I'd be back here sooner, but adopting Piglet meant focusing on her for a little while.<br />
<br />
Time management was also a skill I had to relearn.<br />
<br />
I wonder if this is what parents of human puppies go through?<br />

<br />
Back in early October, knowing how much I love bulldogs and pitbulls, my friend texted me about a bulldog he was going to start fostering that weekend, and invited me over.<br />
<br />
Well, I actually invited myself over.<br />
<br />
But, my friend's nice and he extended an invitation after I said I wanted to meet her.<br />
<br />
And meet her I did.<br />
<br />

<br />
It changed my life.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://nycdogs.urgentpodr.org/chloe-a1126762/" target="_blank">Chloe</a>, as Piglet was known then, was a sweet and shy little thing. She greeted me calmly and warmly upon meeting me but when dinner was served, she was more interested in her food than me.<br />
<br />
I would've been more interested in my food, too.<br />
<br />
She also wasn't a bulldog but a pitbull (maybe bulldog/pitbull mix).<br />
<br />
After her dinner, my friend wanted to take some shots of Chloe for her adoption video so he had me put my face next to hers.<br />
<br />
She started licking my face enthusiastically, charming me and making me laugh.<br />
<br />
I loved the encounter and it delighted me to no end.<br />
<br />
Later, as we were eating Popeyes, Chloe sat there, staring at us, with strings of drool coming out of her mouth, clearly wanting some of our chicken, but not a peep came out of her.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCzcdFsNslpIAOZSi0wWh-sN-NVbMzohj35OhaTrHJH_uEanjohdvYven81RBfPWyeeAInxk72zlQi4o02SOXFqweCFbEUQ7Y9sOTP-w6SC7vnISQq2ysanjh7PtZKUjNwImBhUXu8JK8E/s1600/yangjanice_Piglet+Popeyes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1193" data-original-width="1600" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCzcdFsNslpIAOZSi0wWh-sN-NVbMzohj35OhaTrHJH_uEanjohdvYven81RBfPWyeeAInxk72zlQi4o02SOXFqweCFbEUQ7Y9sOTP-w6SC7vnISQq2ysanjh7PtZKUjNwImBhUXu8JK8E/s400/yangjanice_Piglet+Popeyes.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I marveled at how quiet and gentle she was. And, so well-mannered.<br />
<br />
Sweet, too.<br />
<br />
In the middle of movie-watching, Chloe walked over to me and tucked herself, back to me, between my legs.<br />
<br />
My friend remarked, "She likes you."<br />
<br />
I liked her, too.<br />
<br />
But what came later was what really did me in.<br />
<br />
While petting her as she was laying in her bed, Chloe picked her head up from where she was resting it and moved it backwards to place her head in my hand.<br />
<br />
And, that's when I knew I was in trouble.<br />
<br />

<br />
If it's possible to fall in love at first sight with a dog, then this was it. I'd fallen in love<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> – </span>hard<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> – </span>and quite unexpectedly. There was something inexplicable about Chloe that drew me to her and it made me feel very protective.<br />
<br />
When I went home that night, Chloe stayed on my mind. I mulled over <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssXAkg0bV6o" target="_blank">the song</a> my friend was going to edit her adoption video to and immediately thought of <a href="https://youtu.be/JvqMvxdZTVE" target="_blank">Redbone's Come and Get Your Love</a>.<br />
<br />
I cringed at the thought of someone taking Chloe and never seeing her again.<br />
<br />
Then the idea of <i>me </i>adopting Chloe popped into my head. And, I got scared.<br />
<br />
Because, while I wanted Chloe, I hadn't planned on adopting a dog, wasn't at all prepared for the responsibilities of one, and adopting a dog would complicate the life plans that I'd put into motion six months before. My head wrestled with the decision and I told myself it wasn't a good idea.<br />
<br />
But still, I looked up the adoption application on my phone and fell asleep with it in my hand, contemplating whether I could realistically do it.<br />
<br />
The next morning, when I woke up, an email from my friend was waiting in my inbox telling me someone had already applied for Chloe and they were meeting her the next day.<br />
<br />
My heart dropped and dread crept in. I knew if they met her, they'd immediately fall in love with her and take her away.<br />
<br />
And, I was right.<br />
<br />
They took her home with them the same night and I was completely devastated.<br />
<br />
I processed the news as I was waiting for my train home and just started bawling on the platform. Looking through the photos I'd taken of Chloe the night we met, I felt a profound sadness that I wouldn't get to see her again.<br />
<br />
The intensity of my reaction surprised me.<br />
<br />
It felt like heartbreak.<br />
<br />
With a dog.<br />
<br />
I didn't know I could love a dog this much.<br />
<br />
In the days after, I moped and thought about Chloe a lot. I tried to convince myself that this was the best thing. She was with dog parents who were experienced and she now had two dog siblings to play with. She was better off with them than with me.<br />
<br />
I told myself that having a dog was like having a kid and I'd always said I wouldn't get a dog until I was partnered up because my schedule wouldn't be fair to a dog.<br />
<br />
And yet, I kept thinking about how I would never meet another dog like Chloe again.<br />
<br />
I felt very selfish.<br />
<br />
A week later, my friend relayed the news that Chloe was in the hospital with pneumonia and was in dire circumstances.<br />
<br />
I worried and worried about her until my friend told me she was out of the hospital and recovering.<br />
<br />
I breathed a sigh of relief.<br />
<br />
Chloe spent three days in the hospital on a nebulizer. When she was released, her parents asked my friend to take care of her because they didn't want Chloe and their two other dogs passing the illness back and forth to each other.<br />
<br />
My friend couldn't do it so I stepped in.<br />
<br />
And it was glorious.<br />
<br />
I had Chloe for four, too short, days.<br />
<br />
We hung out on the sofa, made a trip to Petco, played lots of tug-of-war, watched cars (she loves watching cars), went to parks, went to a dog-friendly brewery, played ball, met friends, snuggled a lot.<br />
<br />

<br />
And, I fell in love with her even more.<br />
<br />
I dreaded the end of our interlude, and when it came time to say good-bye, it was incredibly hard for me to let her go back to her parents.<br />
<br />
I was a ridiculous, crying mess for a few days after that.<br />
<br />
Again, I had to convince myself that Chloe was better off with them than with me, that they'd give her a better life.<br />
<br />
Or, so I thought.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Two weeks later, her adoptive parents contacted me saying they were returning Chloe to the rescue and asked me if I wanted her, that I was their first choice.<br />
<br />
I couldn't believe it.<br />
<br />
My friend had been in communication with them and knew they were having problems with her<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">– </span>she has food aggression issues<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;"> </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.6667px;">– </span>and had told them that I'd adopt her if they needed another solution. He hadn't told me any of this because he didn't want to get my hopes up.<br />
<br />
So, the news came as a surprise.<br />
<br />
I, of course, shouted a huge yes, and waited on tenterhooks until she was in my arms again.<br />
<br />
I feel so lucky that I have her in my life. It's been a long road adopting Piglet and she's turned my life upside down, but I've woken up with a smile on my face every morning I've had her.<br />
<br />
I love her so much.<br />
<br />
She brings me such joy.<br />
<br />
I wish everyone could experience what the intensity of this joy feels like because it's made my life so much better.<br />

<br />
One month ago today, I welcomed a little Piglet into my life, and it has been quite an adventure so far.<br />
<br />
I joke to my friends that I now have a newborn.<br />
<br />
A joke. But, true.<br />
<br />
I've had a steep learning curve full of panic attacks, wondering if I'm going to be a good enough parent for Piglet, feeling overwhelmed by everything, fear that I might be ruining her and someone else could do better by her, feeling intense joy when I look at her, feeling proud whenever she does something that surprises or delights me, and feeling so much love + happiness whenever I watch her do her thing.<br />
<br />
This must be what parents feel, right?<br />
<br />
And, I'm still learning about Piglet every day.<br />
<br />
She likes apples.<br />
<br />
She snorts when she plays.<br />
<br />
She doesn't care for cucumbers.<br />
<br />
She likes to follow me around the apartment.<br />
<br />
She doesn't like to be pet on the top of her head.<br />
<br />
She's very curious.<br />
<br />
She likes to play tug-of-war. With everything.<br />
<br />
She's smart.<br />
<br />
She likes to lick my feet. Well, she likes to lick everyone's feet.<br />
<br />
She's lazy.<br />
<br />
She loves to play with other dogs.<br />
<br />
She loves children.<br />
<br />
She's mischievous.<br />
<br />
She has a quota on affection. And I respect her boundaries.<br />
<br />
She likes food but isn't motivated by it.<br />
<br />
Unlike her mom.<br />
<br />
Sometimes when she's eating, she'll stop, come over to me, give me a slobbery kiss, and go back to eating her food.<br />
<br />
It melts my heart every time.<br />
<br />
I love our morning cuddles.<br />
<br />
I love how she burrows her face in my armpit to sleep.<br />
<br />
I love how she always wants to be near me.<br />
<br />
I love her excited frolic.<br />
<br />
I love her pant face.<br />
<br />
I love how she sometimes scoots to me so that we're touching.<br />
<br />
Having a dog is like having a child.<br />
<br />
A child who's 3-years-old and can't communicate her needs and frustrations.<br />
<br />
Ever.<br />
<br />
Forever.<br />
<br />
She's not perfect. She chews up my stuff. When she wants something, she will let it be known. When she's angry, she expresses it. And sometimes it scares me. She's been aggressive. And I'm scared for her. There are behavior issues we need to work on. But Piglet is who she is and no one is born perfect. She's been through a lot (SO MUCH) in her short, 1-year-old life, and I'm amazed she's as wonderful, and sweet, as she is.<br />
<br />
Adopting Piglet has taught me so much about love and patience and being kind to yourself.<br />
<br />
Love you, my love.<br />

<br />
Piglet because:<br />
<br />
She snorts when she's happy.<br />
<br />
She snorts when she's eating.<br />
<br />
She snorts when she's waking me up in the mornings.<br />
<br />

<br />
Piglet because she has pink, floppy, speckled, piggy ears.<br />
<br />
Piglet's sweet, Piglet's smart, and Piglet's sassy.<br />

But also, dumb as a rock.<br />

I love every facet of her.<br />

Hope you all have a love-filled holiday with family and friends, or whoever brings you joy.<br />

<br />
I'm back.<br />
<br />
I can't believe it's been over a year since I've blogged.<br />
<br />
This past year has been rough on me.<br />
<br />
I was going through some huge life changes and then had my heart broken.<br />
<br />
That's all (mostly) behind me now.<br />
<br />
I might talk about it in the future. Or, I might not. I'm not sure yet.<br />
<br />
But, what I will say is, I have a new bundle of joy in my life, and she's the greatest.<br />
<br />

<br />
I adopted her on November 5, 2017 and she's my love.<br />
<br />
She came to me as Chloe but I don't think that name fits her personality.<br />
<br />
If you have any suggestions, let me know!<br />
<br />
I'm glad to be back.<br />
<br />
More to come soon.<br />

That's not a Double Chin. That's just me in a food coma.<br />

How about you? When do you give people The Double Chin? How many Double Chins can you make? Go forth and be prosperous. And show me your Double Chins.<br />

<br />
Because my iMac wouldn't power on at all.<br />
<br />
It's why I've been MIA on the blog lately.<br />
<br />
One thing I didn't realize they do when they take your computer for servicing is that the Geniuses will want to know your password.<br />
<br />
Remember that time when I said <a href="http://www.yangjanice.com/2014/05/passwords.html" target="_blank">my passwords are a little immature</a>?<br />
<br />
I didn't think I'd actually have to own up to it in public.<br />
<br />
Face to face with someone.<br />
<br />
When the Genius asked me for my password, this was my reaction:<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
But a more accurate drawing would be like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I get asked all the time if I dye my hair.<br />
<br />
Nope.<br />
<br />
This mousy brown hair color is all my own.<br />
<br />
Although yesterday, my coworker called it chocolaty brown.<br />
<br />
I like that.<br />
<br />
I've also been asked a couple of times if I'm mixed.<br />
<br />
Again, nope.<br />
<br />
Fully Chinese.<br />
<br />
The questions amuse me though.<br />
<br />
And it reminds me of how monolithic some people are in their perceptions of what Chinese people look like.<br />
<br />
So, let me show you my family.<br />
<br />
This is my mom, her hair is light like mine:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrryfPRwBmkMc6GWoADHe3woO4Rno0V1igmc-1tLInRMXZVQ16GSYmAoAr8qsn5jXKCjn_x3vjZ7w-RvC419sLMYoVX4cthZwLM9_Q6rdUtKknbeGpDCJHRorXCypF4qFcdGZ1pQocmCbq/s1600/yangjanice_Hair+3a.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrryfPRwBmkMc6GWoADHe3woO4Rno0V1igmc-1tLInRMXZVQ16GSYmAoAr8qsn5jXKCjn_x3vjZ7w-RvC419sLMYoVX4cthZwLM9_Q6rdUtKknbeGpDCJHRorXCypF4qFcdGZ1pQocmCbq/s640/yangjanice_Hair+3a.png" width="360" /></a></div>
<br />
My aunt, my mom's younger sister, has hair the lightest of us all.<br />
<br />
People just skip the hair dyeing question and automatically go straight to asking her what shade she uses.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's au naturel, people.<br />
<br />
This is my cousin, my dad's sister's son:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
He has ridiculously curly hair. So much so, that he keeps it shorn close to his head or he'd be growing a poof. And no, he's not mixed.<br />
<br />
These are all my male cousins.<br />
<br />

<br />
Besides the babies, they are ALL taller than me.<br />
<br />
Okay, that's not saying much. I'm 5'4". I'm the shortest grandchild on both sides of the family. Woe is me.<br />
<br />
But, more than half of the boys are near six feet or over. I think my tallest cousin is 6'3".<br />
<br />
It certainly feels like it when I try to look up at him.<br />
<br />
And here are all the female cousins in the family, including me.<br />
<br />

<br />
We all look very different from one another.<br />
<br />
Though you can't tell from my drawings because I suck at drawing.<br />
<br />
My sister and cousin have what the Chinese call perfect oval faces. It's the epitome of East Asian beauty. And big eyes. All four of them possess that feature.<br />
<br />
I have to say, 'cause I'm not biased or anything, I have a stunningly beautiful family.<br />
<br />
Just a little snapshot of what my Chinese family looks like.<br />
<br />
If they were bad cartoon renditions of themselves.<br />

<br />
I got a Fitbit recently because I'm still trying to <a href="http://www.yangjanice.com/2015/04/shrunken-clothes.html" target="_blank">unshrink my clothes</a>.<br />
<br />
I thought having a new gadget that tracks steps would motivate me.<br />
<br />
But, I'm pretty sure I'm doing it all wrong.<br />
<br />
My goal is 10,000 steps every day.<br />
<br />
One day, last week, I hadn't quite reached my goal yet, so I decided to walk around my block.<br />
<br />
Only problem was:<br />

<br />
I am such a slacker.<br />
<br />
You see, I had planned to post this soup recipe a long, long time ago.<br />
<br />
In Fall of 2014.<br />
<br />
Yep, 2014.<br />
<br />
It's now <strike>11</strike> 13 days into 2016 and while looking through my backlog of recipe drafts, some that I'd promised people five months ago I'd post (mea culpa, friends!), I thought maybe I should get my act together.<br />
<br />
Usually, when the new year arrives, people have a fiery urge to get their butts in gear on the 1st.<br />
<br />
I needed an extra <strike>10</strike> 12 days to light my ass on fire.<br />
<br />
(See? Still procrastinating.)<br />
<br />
I'm posting this soup because it's my lazy soup.<br />
<br />
And lazy is probably what I'll still be this year.<br />
<br />
New year, old Janice.<br />
<br />
Lazy before, lazy after.<br />
<br />
Ha.<br />
<br />
I sound like a New Year Scrooge.<br />
<br />
Happy New Year!<br />
<br />
Anyway.<br />
<br />
This soup came about because one day, two summers ago, I had nothing left to eat in my house.<br />
<br />
I opened up my fridge, saw the dredges of carrots, celery, and garlic, threw it all in a pot, boiled it, puréed it, added cream, and Voilà! Food.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And, it was good.<br />
<br />
Boy, was it good.<br />
<br />
Probably because I topped it with avocados.<br />
<br />

<br />
Each spoonful was a creamy bite of avocado flavored with garlicky carrots and celery.<br />
<br />
YUM-MY.<br />
<br />
I've made it many more times since then and it's now my go-to soup for whenever I'm feeling lazy or don't want to slave over the stove.<br />
<br />
Oh wait, that's all the time.<br />
<br />
At least it's healthy!<br />
<br />
I call this Mirepoix Soup but it isn't really. A true <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirepoix_(cuisine)" target="_blank">mirepoix</a> is some combination of onions, carrots, and celery.<br />
<br />
But, since this is my creation, I can call it anything I want, right?<br />
<br />
Like: Arthur Soup.<br />
<br />
Or: Plain Jane Soup.<br />
<br />
Or: Mee-Ra Pwa Soop.<br />
<br />
I think I like that last one best.<br />

<li>Bring to a boil on high heat, then turn down to medium low; cook until tender.</li>
<li>Remove from heat and puree until smooth with an immersion blender (or a jar blender).</li>
<li>Return pot to stove and add ½ cup of heavy cream (or 1 cup if you'd like a thicker soup). </li>
<li>Adjust levels of salt and pepper, if needed.</li>
<li>Heat through or until tiny bubbles form.</li>
<li>Ladle into bowls and top each serving with ½ a diced avocado.</li>

<br />
My ears immediately perked up at the mention of me and I started listening intently to my parents' conversation.<br />
<br />
Because what teenager doesn't want to hear complimentary things about herself?<br />
<br />
I was supposed to be diligently reading the newspaper.<br />
<br />
Clearly, this was more important.<br />

It's big and soft and gray.<br />
<br />
And, has a hole in the middle somewhere.<br />
<br />
But, I forgot to draw that in.<br />
<br />
It's also very comfortable to move around in.<br />
<br />
Which is why it was my favorite dance shirt, back when I was able to dance.<br />
<br />
During one of my sweaty sessions last week, I noticed that I was getting lots of weird looks.<br />
<br />
I was puzzled by it, but not too worried, and just smiled back and ignored it.<br />
<br />
Until I happened to glance down at myself while I was in push-up position.<br />

<br />
My boobs were on full display to everyone across the room.<br />
<br />
And, my hot pink sports bra wasn't doing anything to help the situation.<br />
<br />
Apparently, the neckline of my big, roomie shirt had gotten even bigger and roomier and I hadn't noticed.<br />
<br />
And apparently, I was wearing a sports bra that was the wrong size cause the breasteses were falling out of it.<br />
<br />
I might as well have been planking in the nude.<br />
<br />
Oops.<br />

I love them so.<br />
<br />
Since I couldn't celebrate with them on the day of (because my family is throwing me a party) or on the weekend (because we're celebrating my cousin's birthday on Saturday...there are a lot of birthdays this time of year in my family), we decided to hang a couple of days before.<br />
<br />
We went to karaoke.<br />
<br />
What I really wanted to do was bungee-jump.<br />
<br />
Because I've decided that this year is going to be my year of terrifying pursuits.<br />
<br />
But karaoke seemed the more plausible option to propose to my friends for a get-together.<br />
<br />
And, to make it more palatable to me, I suggested <a href="http://www.yangjanice.com/2015/06/maybe-i-should-go-karaoke-with-younger.html" target="_blank">Disney karaoke</a>.<br />
<br />
But, this is what happened instead:<br />

I had a blast.<br />
<br />
Then we went out for burgers -- 'cause that's our tradition -- afterwards, where we took approximately 6,982 selfies to try and get one acceptable picture. The evidence is above.<br />
<br />
Today, so far, for my birthday, my family has given me:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The task to pick up my own birthday cake after work.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks, Family.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My dad also texted me at 2:50 in the morning.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My sister texted me at 1:23 in the morning.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am not sure what it says about my fam that they text me birthday wishes when they know I'LL BE ASLEEP.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Granted, my sister is in California. She probably forgot to do the math.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Or, did they want me to wake up pleasantly surprised?</div>
</div>
<br />
This was the text my dad sent me:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
("Precious daughter,<br />
during the quiet, early morning of this long night, I whisper to you:<br />

<br />
