kaprow strikes again - are you kidding me?

2007-09-26T07:59:00.000-04:00

so as you all know, my last tango with kaprow was anything less than extraordinary. in fact, i believe my last words were "thai hot" before tucker and i went head to head, battling our bellies into a 24 hour, very painful abyss. you would think after such a violent engagement i would have learned my lesson...YOU WOULD THINK. no no, because yesterday after consuming a vast amount of kaprow chicken, i awoke at 5am with such wicked pains in my stomach that d's last words were "do you need immodium?"

let's just be honest here. there is NOTHING in the world like thai food. in fact, d and i do a little dance of joy (no shoes) everytime a new place opens in our hood, with the hope that their phad thai will be "spot on." but now i must digress. it's not for the faint of heart. if you are a newcomer, this food will tear you up something fierce if you are unsupervised.

take this as my warning to all who may love thai. if a cuisine gives you "levels" from which to choose in degrees of spiciness, do not select level "thai hot." if the name of the cuisine is being used to represent the pinnacle of spiciness, you should take that as an indication that it might not be your best option.

i'm wonderwoman and supergirl all rolled into one

hello, this thing on?

2006-10-04T08:04:00.000-04:00

i wish my baby still blogged...

farewell y'all!!

2006-05-10T12:01:00.000-04:00

it's been a crazy journey here at zen, but i have to say that i'm definitely leaving with great feelings and friendships! this has definitely been an amazing experience for me and quite frankly, has flown by with such incredible force!

for the next few days i'll be hitting the road and perhaps the bottle after the three littles ones are through with me hahaha. i have the pleasure of baby-sitting my three joys: christian, kayla, and baby jordan for the next several days. during this time i fully expect bmoney, sonjay and jonesy to keep my man occupied with any of the following activities:

1 - beer drinking
2 - online poker playing...oh hell, how about live poker playing?
3 - food munching
4 - bungee jumping
5 - bar crawling...

ok, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

friend, i am going to miss you so ridiculously much! i love u so much and am sad to say bye bye, but i'll be back before you know it!! until then...MUAH MUAH MUAH MUAH MUAH!!!!! I LOVE U!!!!

my neck...my back...my neck and my back

2006-03-30T18:31:00.000-05:00

sooooOOOOOooo...it's my first day back since my horrendous muscle spasm debacle in my back. it's so ridiculous how these things can leave you incapacitated for three days, unable to so much as fart or laugh because of the gentle rocking action that takes place during and after each activity...and the lingering pain that follows. if any of you have ever had serious back pain, spasms, etc. my only advice is to hit an urgent care facility ASAP.

So d practically carries me to the car and i edge my way into the seat...not comfortably mind you, but we get the job done. we get to the urgent care facility wait for the boatload of people before us to finish up, and finally meet the two women who will bring comfort and peace back into my life. interestingly, i do have to commend our nurse on one thing - no woman has ever made an ever so slight moustache look so nice. she takes out a needle and i am honestly staring at her in disbelief. she injects this thing into into my muscle and i'm seriously flipping out, clutching onto d for dear life. she does the dirty deed, and our early to mid 40s doctor who is with child and feeling it, tells me that i have muscle spasms all up my back and will need to be on 4 different types of medication aside from the shot of steroids. so i'm completely whacked out right now on darvocet (narcotics), flexeril (muscle relaxers), 800mg of ibuprofen, and of course more methylprednisolone (steroids) to keep the inflammation down.

to make a long story short, if i have spoken to any of you within the past three days, chance are i don't remember...sorry =)

muah!

sneaky cube farting...

2006-02-28T15:17:00.000-05:00

BUT SERIOUSLY...

there is barely a wall separating us, and it's not really a wall at all, now is it? and it's not like she's sitting with 4 walls and a door. it's as public as walking into the middle of a restaurant and farting next to some tables...i'm like dayem woman! this stinks, both figuratively and literally

in the calm words of brandon ryan, all i have to say is this:
there is a difference between a fart that smells like shit and smelling shit. this is effing heinous. it's not even like smelling just shit...no, that would be too easy. this is like smelling an adult sized diaper filled with poo that has been left out for a few days in the sun.

i'm dying. what do i do? do i leave? do i gag. do i cough? do i walk over there and say "look, i know your ass is 64, but seriously, was that accetable behavior?" and it's not like we're close friends because then it would be ok. it's like that sick twisted desire in all of us to catch a glimpse of what our closest friends have unleashed, yeah for like a second...you all know you're guilty of it. but then as soon as that first odor wafts into your nostrils you're like...GET ME THE EFF OUTTA HERE!!!

but she's such a dayem cute little lady. how can i do anything but smile.

hardwood going limp...ok den?

2006-02-17T10:06:00.000-05:00

so we started out with this crazy bamboo obession...looking, pricing, purchasing, lugging, home depot stalking, stapling...WE WERE ON FIRE! and by we i do mean me, d, b money and of course cheps (for moral support that is). so d and b were hammering and pounding away (yes this is still me talking about the bamboo), and then suddenly we hit this 1 week hiatus. the room is 3/4 of the way done and life just won't seem to cut us any slack. sans any sort of space for us to actually lay down in a real bed, d and i have been shacking up on the couch for the past week and the crazies have been taking over our domain. bbopshee literally thinks my face is her scratching post at 3am, making that God-forsaken MEAH! noise (for those of you who know her...you know the noise), and chingoo can't get onto a couch without bbopshee pushing her off. serious napolean issues.

you know, i could laugh about it all (which we have been trying to maintain for a week now) and stare longingly at the jts for their crafty brazilian cherry purchase one mile down the street from our house, or i could stand by my man and feel accomplished and fulfilled at the end of the day! i choose the latter of the two, and while it's been a journey for us all, our floors have never looked more glorious!

so for all of your who are interested in putting down your own flooring take my advice...give yourself at least 12 straight hours, which includes: 20 trips to home depot, 10 equipment purchases, lots of beer, jalapeno poppers, chips, frustrated dog walking, 1 big ass bottle of excedrin, and a very loving spouse...and you'll be all set. dats nice.

steelers, food and super-balls!

2006-02-06T11:42:00.000-05:00

ok, first i want to say that this weekend was nuts, fun and will have to be repeated every year from this point forward. yeah, d and i have come to the decision that the superbowl will have to be an annual hoover hosted event! thank all of you biatches who trekked out to the wonderful jungles of ashburn to A - take my hubby's money at poker and B - come on day 2 to celebrate in his momentous victory!! it was a wonderful weekend indeed. although i do have to say...24 hours of being with the same people, i think we all started to smell the same by the end of the weekend. but we love u guys and had a blast! one huge moment for me on poker night was playing my very first hand of real professional texas holdem...and by professional i mean playing with our own world poker champion brandon jones. and although he neglected to bring my "friend with special benefits" on saturday, she came through on sunday with a whoop-ass funfetti cake!!!

go steeler biatches!!!! baby, i am so proud of you and all that you did this season to help your steelers win. from your smiles to your cursing, and your laughter to your tears, it was all worth it when they whooped some seahawk ass!!! MUAH!!

spider legs!!

2005-12-29T14:32:00.000-05:00

so our little princess is officially over the 10LB mark. i can't believe how quickly she's grown!! she now looks like a spider. she's got these super long legs and a wee little body. i guess seeing is believing...ciao for now!!

woah is me...

2005-11-15T09:18:00.000-05:00

0 hours of sleep, studying my butt off, chingoo having queen bee complex and bbopshee trying to assert dominance on chingoo...well more like her belly since it's the only thing she can reach...this has been my last 3 days.

bdays, new hoovers and madness!!

2005-11-14T08:05:00.000-05:00

ok first i want to say that i have the most incredible and ridiculously loving husband on the planet!! this entire bday week was amazing, and for those of you who knew and kept all of his surprises a secret, i want to thank you! i'll get into the details later on today, but i don't have much time and i want to get through this post!

ok...we're nuts! certifiably nuts! but you all love us anyway! here is the latest and greatest addition to the hoover clan. she's cute above all cuteness and i can't stop showering her with love and affection, it's horrible!!! chingoo loves her too! she thinks the new pupp is her child.

how can you not love this face??

who is wonderwoman and what is this about kalel?

2005-11-08T11:08:00.000-05:00

ok, i need an answer to this burning question and for all of you who know me, i have been agonizing over this for a long time...for no good reason other than i don't think there is anyone worthy of filling linda carter's boots. don't come back to me with jessica alba or shannon elizabeth...we need fresh meat. someone gorgeous, and barely noticed...Bridget Moynahan for example. someone like her. i mean she was the amazon beauty on sex and the city and did some serious bar stomping in coyote ugly, but i can't think of any contenders that even come close.

and what is the deal with nick cage naming his son kalel. didn't he get passed up on that role? i think it had something to do with his hair, or lack thereof =) *wink*

angel soft baby aint so soft after all

2005-11-08T09:19:00.000-05:00

so chingoo starts on this barking tirade at God knows what. she was flipping out, which if she were human and not a dog, would have fit perfectly into a stephen lynch song...screw that, the man does not discriminate. so d is staring at her like "what the hell has you so rattled you nutbag?" and i'm listening thinking "is d grabbing her tail?" the next thing you know, she inches towards the damned package of angel soft toilet paper.

she was disturbed by the picture of the baby's face on the package and decided to let him/her know her feelings of discontentment. OH MAW GAWD...who says our family is full of a bunch of ree-rees?

hairy pooper???

2005-11-07T15:45:00.000-05:00

oh...no...sorry about that! that would be harry potter! so jecheema has sent out an email inviting interested hp fanatics to the midnight screening (11/18 - which would technically be late thursday night, early friday morning) of hp4. i am excited although i haven't seen all of 2 or 3! i'm going to have to bundle up on jechee's couch with the cannoli shell, peach schnapps and hp dvds to get to where the rest of the world has been for quite some time. curse you school!

my tivo looks like something out of an 80 year old grandmother's boob tube. i have 30 or more episodes of the "young and the restless" and "the bold and the beautiful" saved until God knows when. my baby thinks i'm a 90 year old trapped in a...ehem...XX year old's body...tucker not a word out of you!

baby dogs!

2005-11-07T14:02:00.000-05:00

sooOOOOoo...for all of you who know us, you know the notorious gina. she is one of my favorite ladies, and going through some rough times. she has a gorgeous little yorkie who might need a temporary home for the next few weeks, so i've made d and i the sacrificial lambs hehe. we've already traveled down this road once before with the same dog during 911. needless to say, that ended marvelously! sophie was "litter trained" which actually meant, she will shit and piss anywhere that resembles a carpet. next, sophie supposedly "had no biting problems" which actually translated to, cover your face whenever she jumps or she will leave purple bruises and nips marks on the perimeter of your lips, cheeks and anywhere that is plump and luscious for her wee little teeth to grab hold of. last, "sophie hardly ever barked" which actually meant, bitch will have a screaming match with a mosquito if it flaps its wings just a little too hard.

ok, for those of you who frequent the hoover household, you know that chingoo is our one and only, but with this new development, we couldn't be more thrilled! chingoo will have a pseudo sister and you can all come over and see this new little 4 pound spectacle. with our other close-to-being-adopted puppy potentially coming home with us this saturday, we might be a party of five...hmmm, or the other show...what is it that my baby refers to it as...oh that's right, "step by step." the show with way too many children and no reasonable explanation.

yeah, that's us. hooray!

tucker - that wouldn't be three spoiled children, just 1 and 2 nippy sisters. OH and i love love love the furniture!!

pics will be coming soon!

daylight savings, greenway, tollroad, 495...kiss my grits!

2005-11-03T09:14:00.000-05:00

so this morning's saga begins...

against d's better judgement i was really really adamant about taking the greenway today. we started our journey at 7:10am, picked up 1/2 of the brandonies and set off into the sunset...oh, and i do mean that figuratively and literally. in fact, with this one hour time change, or crisis should i say, i have faced an enormity of traffic on 267 this entire week at almost every hour in the morning. what is up with that? aint nuttin but a little bit of sun yo! at 7:30am when we finally hit the toll road (THE GREENWAY WAS A REAL SHORTCUT THERE, NOT!!) there were "phantom accidents" (d and brandonism) all over the road. my point? here i sit at 9:23am. it took me exactly 2 hours to get to work today. is that acceptable? no...unacceptable is more the term that i am looking for.

so for all of your wusses...it aint nuttin but a little bit of sun!!!

peace, love, and joy =) kisses!!

Baby Names

2005-11-02T11:52:00.000-05:00

so i've decided...

as you all know, my husband is incredibly wary about ever procreating anything with a V*#@$&. be it as it may, i am going to continue on my quest for the perfect female baby name. this morning i had the great opportunity to discuss some interesting and unique names with lala pants and maria, but at the end of the day i am drawn to one that has most definitely caught my attention - cayden. it could be spelled with a "k" but i'm a "c" kind of person. now, it is an arabic name reserved for little boys, but i don't know if i can help myself. next on the list is of course my favorite, jayden. the literal term means "wise," so i'm thinking we can will it to happen. with two nutjobs as parents, this kid is going to need all of the "willing" she can get *wink* while i know they are rhyming names, would you all expect anything different out of us?

and so we're off...

New UI??

2005-11-01T11:11:00.000-05:00

ok, it's not permanent, but the first iteration of new uis for this biatch. i'm meddling, so no comments from you tucker on the misuse of css in my comments section. i'll be back soon....

PAL?

2005-10-28T14:41:00.000-04:00

we're going to be "PAL!" that is Peggy and Al Bundy! brangeliniston didn't quite work out the way we intended. i mean...where in the world do they sell blonde hair spray paint anyways? it's as though this creativity was only meant to be spoken. we scoured the aisles of wally's buffet and came up with nothing, NADA! but i ain't mad atcha walmart, i ain't mad.

so we're going as these two social clowns...i think it'll be terrific. i'll have the big hair, stuffed boobs, and padded ass while d will have his hand down his pants all night.

for those of you who don't know al and peggy shame on you. SHAME!

Brangeliniston

2005-10-27T12:22:00.000-04:00

so do you think we can pull it off? with the party 2 days away, i'm getting me an angelina sized boob tonight to stuff into my new push up bra, a big fat butt cheek, some bronzing face power and spray paint. if it doesn't work, i can always go as mr. miyagi =)

so what is the deal with halloween? last year i watch my baby buy out the entire candy section at Giant, only to be crestfallen at the pathetic non-existent clientele. we had a 4 year old princess who was carried door to door by her father and a 15 yr old boy who was escorted through our neighborhood in a white van with his mother at the helm. RIDICULOUS!

i remember the days of old when my parents would let us fly out the door at 5pm expecting to see us no earlier than 11. we would hop from neighborhood to neighborhood with our group of friends and big ass pillow cases. i mean...isn't that what halloween is all about? running around like idiots, seeing who can get the most candy? and then eating as much as your teeth would allow before your mother hid it all, never to be seen again...well of course until you mysteriously find it while trying to get into your unfinished attic through the little opening in her closet during an intense game of hide and seek...err...umm...

so my point is this...do we buy candy this year and eat it ourselves? do we say screw it and go on through life watching this notorious and exciting holiday fall down a very slippery slope? i for one am all ready to trick or treat myself, but i don't think my baby will let me walk out of the house without being escorted...phooey

the fall and its jeans are upon us...

2005-08-23T11:17:00.000-04:00

i'm ready to start puttin on me jeans for the fall. d is trying to remind me that i've made a conscious effort to "quit" buying jeans. as ridiculous as it may sound, you know it's bad when you have to actually "quit" your purchasing of jeans.

but seriously, how can i say no?

and not a word out of you tucker...you fellow jean whore

SICK City...

2005-08-23T07:56:00.000-04:00

ok...if you are looking for an all out decadent film full of gore and guts this is the flick for you. with no warning or even the slightest precursor, i was completely ignorant to the actual storyline. with that i say that there was a bit of recovery that needed to take place even three days after watching this glorious film. jessica alba's ass in her backless chaps definitely assuaged any sort of violent stomach turning irritation for a split second, but it was all vomit inducing really.

now, as d keeps reminding me, this was all "make believe." but with my wild imagination, i have to wonder if it was...i mean, was it? imagination helps create drama in some cases, right? and lunacy in conjunction with imagination can actually help bring these things to fruition. so who is to say that there isn't a yellow bastard walking around in some part of the world, or an enlightended hobbit waiting in the backwoods of west virginia with a banjo playing inbred boy and burt renolds rowing down the river in a canoe?

but in all reality i must say, this is definitely a watcher. i think i might even pick it up again in a few years *shudder* (great 3 more days of recovery). if you have a strong stomach and no aversion to violence, i would highly recommend and even suggest that you run out and purchase (no i didn't say rent, PURCHASE) this film immediately because the story lines are just that good. however, if you are anything like me and you have a weak stomach for bludgeoning, you might want to keep a trash can handy.

four days later and the "yellow bastard" still haunts my thoughts and my lunch. and with that i say, y'all have a great mornin now, ya hear =)

Chingoo's sistuh from the same muthuh!

2005-08-22T09:39:00.000-04:00

for anyone who knows the hoovers, you know that the love and joy of our lives is wrapped up into a little pile of fluff named chingoo. in fact, if i could have been a dog in another life, i would have been proud to bear her as my pup =)

ok, so we get this call a few days ago from her nanny and it went something like this:
"hey guys, this is carla, we have chingoo's sister here, and we think you should definitely come down here and take a look!"

we FLEW out the door and raced down there to see. how exciting we thought as we anxiously waited to meet her! i had no idea what to expect...would they look alike? act alike? have the same strange habits? what??! it was all too exciting to even imagine and after meeting her, how very strange the experience was. she had separation anxiety like no other, walked on her hind legs, exactly like chingoo!! layed on her belly and pounced like a cat, just like our baby, and even whimpered with the same inflections...it was hysterical!

there were differences too. she was calm, sweet and extremely mellow -- the COMPLETE opposite of our little one! with that being said, we finally found out some VERY interesting facts. our baby was once named "TARA" which actually stood for "TERROR" hahahah!! she was the wily, crazy, hyper one of the bunch! so much so, that they name her after a feeling that is evoked when watching a damned horror flick! hahha! needless to say, she's our little terror and we couldn't have chosen a more appropriate puppy! for the hoovers, she's just one comedy routine after another.

now without any further ado, here are some pics of chingoo and her sis! enjoy!!

ROAD RAGE!!!!

2005-08-22T08:51:00.000-04:00

ok but seriously...i know you are all laughing and i do fit the stereotype (most of the time) but today, today was different!

i was pulling out of the small secluded road behind my neighborhood to turn onto waxpool road. i stopped at the stop sign like a good driver should. i took my turn and start pulling out (right of way freak!!) and the next thing you know, this big bastard of a man rolled through his stop sign on the main strip, nearly plowed into my car and then layed on his horn and started flailing his arms, giving me the finger as though he was in the right! i saw him pull up to the stop sign, roll through and roll out. i was so angered by this and i don't know if it was just repressed anger or displaced anger or what, but the sight of this man throwing his violent arms and fingers in the air, tailing me for God knows what reason then pulling up to my side to get in my face...i have to say, it just tipped me over the edge!!! now for anyone who knows me, i'm usually a pretty nice gal, but not today baby hahahah not today!!!

so the man pulls up next to me and what comes out of his mouth??? OF COURSE....the "C" word...there are two bad ones...i'm asian, so i think you can figure it out. or maybe it was my imagination because, as i mentioned, i had a lot of things going on in this brain of mine. i was late for work, needing to get my ass to where i needed to be and now this. it was just one of those mornings i suppose, and i might have been better behaved, but i do know this...i cursed him off with a big "EFF YOU!!" i even rolled down my window for a better effect. i know this is uncharacteristic of me (and baby, i apologize for putting myself in danger) but i was trippin and he put me in a bad bad place. this deranged man then continued on with his tirade and proceeded to made a left turn.

what i don't get is this...why ruin someone's morning over a damned stop sign?? is it worth the hassle? must there be racial poo slinging and the arousal of bad feelings? my stomach is still turning and my legs feel like jello. and to this i say...if you ever see an asian woman taking her right of way, cut her some slack. we're not always the worst drivers on the road.

...and have a great morning...

hooray!!!! i'm gon git me sum ess 2-nite!

2005-06-21T14:39:00.000-04:00

he's back in one piece!! my little trooper battled through the halls of o'hare, got his ass on the plane and into dulles at noon! he was unshaven, smelly and oily, but as gorgeous as ever! we are corny as hellllll!!! tucker, this would be prime time to throw paper wads and lavish him with your insults of his metro-ness!

i'm just so glad that you're home baby! i missed you so much!!

where the hell you at?

2005-06-21T10:31:00.000-04:00

foreshadowing at it's finest i tell you...

my friend left on thursday for blessed vegas only to find himself in his hotel room sans luggage, toiletries and fresh underwear. i woke his ass up on friday to hear him reveal the terrible news and of course, he couldn't resist giving me a proper phone conversation ending by telling me that he was under the bedsheets buck naked, wearing nothing but his dirty skivvies (as if to turn me on).

fighting the signs of foreshadowing...

saturday rolled around and i received a disturbing phone call. it went something like this..."i'm down baby! i'm down! i need to hit the atm!" followed by another phone call "i'm up baby, i'm up!" only to conclude with the following phone call "fuck vegas. i'm done. i'm down baby, i'm down. OH and drunk. love u."

sunday came and went with a day of keno, 70 year old vixens and hough getting his faced slapped by a very drunk beav trying to give a high five. nothing sexier than two pasties slapping each other and a 70 year old onlooker. i thought that the day went pretty smoothly, squashing my thoughts of foreshadowing...until...

last night i put on my pretty shirt and made a pot of coffee while i eagerly waited for my friend's flight to come in at midnight. then it happened...i received the dreaded call. d's connecting flight took off and left him for dead at the o'hare airport to fend for himself with no beer in sight. a sad state of affairs it was. there were no other flights leaving that evening, with the next flight leaving at 5am. after the shuttle service decided to stop running passengers to their respective hotels, he shacked up at the local days inn with no working cell phone and no beer. he finally booked his flight for 9am this morning, weary and dazed from his "vacation" whining that he just wanted to be home with him lumjee.

so off i go at noon to pick him up, take him home and help wipe off his poor little war wounds. as a lesson to you all, if ever you're in vegas sans clean undies, get your ass on the next flight home =)

bye bye vegas birdie =(

2005-06-15T14:08:00.000-04:00

my friend is leaving for sin city this thursday and call me crazy, but i will miss him like nobody's business!!! life without d, even if just for 5 days, is like living hell! i guess this naked backpack will have to rough it alone until monday night! i have chingoo duty from now until he returns and i can only imagine her surprise and delight when she sees him get off that plane. as soon as he takes off his shoes and she catches a whiff of his aromatic feet, she will be a-lickin the jam off of his toes for days to come. i can't wait until you're back here with me friend... =)

bat caves under me eyes!!!

2005-06-15T13:16:00.000-04:00

midnight premiere with the jts, fwank and big dave!! eyes are buggin!!!

sexiest 6' 2" man in black tights, a cape and horned helmet i've ever seen. i expected an entirely different movie and don't think that i appreciated it when i walked out of the theater, but for some reason it has continued to linger in my thoughts throughout the day. maybe i was disappointed because i expected a typical superhero movie and what i got was actual dialogue, great acting and strong character development. maybe i was taken aback by the fact that this movie, for once, focused solely on the main character, his life and tormented soul while totally neglecting to build the entire script around his budding romance with NE woman, katie holmes. oddly enough in this particular movie, the romance was secondary, i'd go as far as to say tertiary when compared to other facets of the storyline. michael caine was a PERFECT alfred, and christian bale, well...i don't think i need to elaborate women....but if my friend is reading this, all i have to say is...YOU KNOW YOU'RE HOTTER.

secret surprise with the the indigo girls!!!!

ok, so as y'all know, i have the most incredible special friend. as much as he acts like he's a manly man...ehem...we all know he's a little girl in panties for me!!

so last night, he took me to wolftrap and surprised me with the best show on mother earth!! the INDIGO GIRLS!!! a show that i've wanted to see since my freshman year of college! a show that i know he wouldn't be caught dead at...not in a million years unless he was truly just going for me. the next thing you know, as we're walking into the filene center, front opera section center stage, he hands me my ticket and written in big bold black ink was "INDIGO GIRLS." of course i immediately start bawling, completely overwhelmed and amazed. so my friends, there you have it...last night, dwayne became a woman! hahaha we had such a blast! from their opening performance to their closing act - an oldie, "galileo" - i was blown away!!! d held on and for that his evenings for the next several months will be filled with lots of....um...parchesi...yeah, that's it!

now onto the show: amy ray was absolutely incredible! right on point with her deep vocals and versatile guitar skills. she got on that harmonica and played her ass off! emily sailers unearthed an incredible piano ballad that completely blew me away!!! i was in tears!!! i have to say, all in all it was one of the most incredible shows i've ever seen in my life and made for one of the absolute best nights of my life!

friend! you are such an incredible, amazing person!!! any vw show from here to china, you can count me in! i love u!

2005-04-28T10:11:00.000-04:00

i haven't blogged here yet, but thought i'd give it a shot today. i guess this is more "hoover friend" oriented anyway. i'll rant and rave about plastic oil filter caps on the other site. anyway, so lastnight i decide to change my oil. long story short, without mentioning the rushed trip to home depot [thanks b] and the perils of using a 12" adjustable wrench on ABS plastic and guessing what 25nm of torque is, using said adjustable wrench...ugh..where was i? ah yes, the ugh part. so here i sit in the garage with a car gushing oil from a hairline crack, floor already covered in oil from a miscalculated placement of the oil drain pan...frustrated, dirty, tired...really angry and feeling like a failure. and my baby comes home. i'm feeling embarrassed b/c i made such a mess and topped off what will probably be a $200 oil change once it's all said and done [the replacement part is only $40...phew]...cranky, crabby hating life....

i just wanted to say thanks babe. you came home, had a HUGE smile...and made me feel better about everything that was bothering me. in the past i probably would have bashed a hole in the garage wall with my newly acquired 12" wrench...grabbed a beer or two and been stewing about it for a week...but one look, one smile, one hug and a little bit of beer and all is good in the automotive portion of my life.

i don't say it enough but thanks...you're the only person i have ever met that can calm me down when i get all wound up about something. and even though i rarely show how stressed or frustrated i am [at least to everyone in my life but you] i really do get seriously rattled about little things and dwell on the little details for much longer than i would consider healthy.

i could go on and fill pages of thank yous for everything else you do/have done for me...but other people read this and i don't think they want to hear how thankful i am that you wax my toes [oops]. seriously tho, i love you babe, you've truly changed me as a person.

back to the land of the living!

2005-04-22T14:40:00.000-04:00

here i am after several weeks of madness!! with my monster soon to be out of my hair, i'm thoroughly excited to finally be free for the next few weeks until my second round of classes begin! things i won't miss about my monster:

hairy lip - always showing it off. lips move, mouth toupe blows as if caught in the wind.

bad breath - always showing it off. lips move, lisa's stomach starts dancing a really bad dance.

oily scalp - always showing it off. every ten or twenty seconds, she touches herself and then our papers and then continues to distribute them to the class.

tighty skirts - always showing them off. she sits, and her belly pokes out as if to say "hello."

all in all it's been a great experience cept for the whole study/work/crazy guy with tourettes eating taco bell in my car thing!

now i can focus on the things that really matter to me. i have 4 weddings and no funerals (knock on wood) this summer and i finally have the chance to relax, kick back and make babies with my baby. NOT. friend, i threw that in to see if you were listening!

much love and until next we speak (which will most likely be in about ten minutes) hoover out!

i guess i am yellow...

2005-03-28T11:33:00.000-05:00

ok, so this morning i woke up in a cold sweat and immediately start relaying the most unusual dream to d...who by the way is staring at me with this utterly confused look on his face. imagine being woken up without a minute to even gather your thoughts and your wife is already talking to you as though you've been up for at least half an hour.

as many of you know, i am a twinkie through and through (yellow on the outside, but white on the inside). i have never professed this or made it my mantra, but i have heard the expression "baby, you're whiter than me" from my caucasian husband on various occasions. maybe it's my stellar *ehem not* dancing skills, or my inability to clap on beat, but this dream i had proved that lisa hoover is in fact a part of her korean brethren ever more so than she ever thought.

so d and i are driving around in our pimped out hyundai, heading towards the korean grocery store with a craving for kalbi (beef short ribs marinated in this special korean sauce). as we're drawing near, we see a glorious mountain made out of...yes, you guessed it, marinated korean short ribs! we're so incredibly excited, we decide to drive up the mountain, only to be dismayed by the fact that the hyundai will only get two tires on before slipping back down to the street. we're bummed, so we contact my korean friend esther to give us advice on how we can reach the top of this decadent mountain. she says that we need to go out and buy a nissan armada as she did when she had the same woes. so after telling her that the armada is just too much car for us, we all decide upon a nissan pathfinder.

so what have we all learned today?
lisa had a dream that she drove a korean car with her honorary korean husband, up a mountain of korean short ribs and got the advice of a korean friend on what type of vehicle to buy to remedy the situation.

guess who's back???

2005-03-14T12:11:00.000-05:00

ok, but only for a second and there is just too much to write, but i'll try my best to get it all in on this session!!

first, we're all happy that tucker has made it through his ordeal and is healthy and happy. he's got his post vicodin wits about him, that's for sure and i realized it after he promised to smack the white of my rice at frank's bday bash at d&bs! jessi has definitely defied all of my stereotypes about guys being bad asses with shooting games!! she busted caps all over those crazy haunted monsters and took us to the end of the game where we actually beat the crazy medusa looking ball throwing bastard to win! yeah, and before that i only made it to the maggots. thanks jechee!

backing up to last week...i've learned that human interaction is vital for my mental health and survival. after working 4 straight days from home, i literally bounced off of every wall here at zen today saying hello to everyone and i mean everyone...even the non-english speaking woman who vacuums the elevator, God bless her for keeping it clean! we should all be thankful for every single person that contributes to the betterment of our work environment! when was the last time you said thank you?

now i'll be heading back to good old ashburn to continue on with my work from home experience. don't be shy about asking to meet up for lunch or take a trip to barbados or anything of the sort. the subtle break would be VERY WELCOMED!

hoover out!

broken friend part II, 5 guys and chicken kabobs!

2005-03-07T08:12:00.000-05:00

good luck tuckerama!!! for all of you who know him, sonjay will be heading into surgery today. it's a happy occassion being that he will be having something detimental removed from his body. no more writhing on the floor or stomach clutching cuz folks, we have a little thing called modern medicine. scary, but we all have to make important life changing decisions at points...and in my book, especially when it involves the function of our doo doo. which btw - is a very very important function indeed. just ask my very cultivated and cultured beau...LOL!! friend i called you cultured! hahah...ok, i love u to death my little munchkin!! on a realistic note, y'all know how much d loves his poopie sessions =)

so i'm taking a vote...5 guys or simply grill. which would be the more appropriate nasty food for his recovery? kfc is always good, but we don't want to clog the poor guy's arteries and send him into cardiac arrest...so give me your opinion. it has to be good! if we're talking about comfort food, i should just ask paula, my food network queen. or jechee, the food guru! on that note...i think some more cookies are in order =) whatdya say??

solitaire...you playin now

2005-03-03T08:53:00.000-05:00

sunshine, lollipops and rainbows, everything that's wonderful that's how i feel when we're together...

that's what i hum to myself when i see people in my office playing solitaire while i'm slammed with work. ok, does anyone else find it inherently wrong that there are certain people (who will go nameless) are playing games everytime you pass by their cube. and why are they all middle-aged? i mean is this going to be me in a few years when i become middle aged (tucker this is where you keep your age comments to yourself hahaha)?

one woman was canned a few weeks ago for her work ethic or lack thereof. she was quite a pleasant woman...see for yourselves:

Lisa holding a cup of luke warm coffee heading for the microwave
Nameless woman: *flagging hand* "no. no. i grabbed my bag before you walked in. i'm gon be a while."
Lisa: "oh, i was just trying to heat up my coffee. is that cool?"
Namess woman: "no, cuz like i said, i'm gon be a while."

Nameless woman then proceeds to heat up her 10 pounds of food which takes about 20 minutes which during that time, my coffee has turned cold. 3 days later...Nameless woman no mo. turns out she was playing too much solitaire in between her many food breaks during her workday.

and i'll take a little delirium with that coffee...

2005-03-02T09:39:00.000-05:00

ok...for all of you who know me, it seems that i have this inexhaustible energy except of course when i'm faced with jessi's cannoli shell...but today i have to say, i'm wiped the F*@# out. i stayed up last night creating 4 new website mockups and honestly, i don't know my ass from my head. i had to ask myself when i got in if i took a shower this morning. with that being said my day has been shaping up nicely. see for yourselves:

1 - yelped at least once on the toll road this morning while in the hov lane - not driving btw - and startling my very patient husband who was at the helm.

2 - walked into my office, went to my old cube and proceeded to put my stuff into someone else's desk all the while thinking...something is weird about this situation, but i can't seem to stop...

3 - asked a pregnant woman in her 5th month if she's due in a few weeks. was thrown off by the "few" baby pounds she's put on.

4 - had a meeting with my ceo and deputy ceo and said "umm, like, for sure, um...." throughout my website mockup meeting. yes.

these are all very memorable lisa moments

baby gon lose dem ovaries....

2005-02-28T11:41:00.000-05:00

well at least we know that the neighborhood boys won't be making grandparents out of us anytime soon...but the look on her face this morning when we dropped her off at the vet will definitely be burned in my memory for the entirety of the day. who am i kidding, i will be wearing a furrowed brow until we pick her up tomorrow after work safe and sound. being a parent is tough work i tell you...maybe i'll hire a full-time nanny to raise our kids, then take over when they are oh say about...30?

broken friend =(

2005-02-28T11:18:00.000-05:00

so i just read the news of my chingoo's pending surgery. i'm sorry buddy, but we'd rather have you around missing organs than not around at all, so we'll be by your hospital room with plenty of tlc. d in particular...he'll be there with smooches and hugs, tight, just the way you like it =) heehee

she's back!!

2005-02-28T10:50:00.000-05:00

good morning all! it's SO GREAT to be back! mind you, i had an incredibly relaxing time (cleaning poop, running around like a crazed lunatic and entertaining an 18 month old boy with an average bedtime of 3am) but it's great to be back to my reality!

so the trip was amazing! i feel so incredibly blessed and am just so thankful that i had the chance to spend so much QT with my niece and nephew! it was such an awesome trip, check out some choice pics!

AHHHH! i just love them so much!!!!

i do have to admit, seeing the R pull up to union station was also an incredible experience. seeing my baby for the first time in one week was like biting into a creamy cheesecake, unforgettable and delectable all at once! he is my best friend, my hubby, and my buddy all in one! being apart sucked big time, but the feelings that overcame me when we reunited definitely made it well worth the wait!!

1 floating pea

2005-02-18T14:37:00.000-05:00

the idea of vacationing is great, but really sucks when you have to go in your pea pod alone. as excited as i am about chillin with my friends/family, i'm so ridiculously sad to leave my better pea behind.

today has been a tough day because i've been trying not to think about leaving him for the week. i'm just deducing from the events of my last trip, the amount of trouble he'll be getting himself into while i'm gone. let's rehash shall we:

1 - cut his hand and bled all over the trunk of his jetta
2 - ate 1 hot dog every night until i got back
3 - was unshaven, haggard and unkempt when i walked through the door
4 - slept on the couch because he felt too sad to sleep in our bed without me there (sorry friend, i know you feel your testicles shrinking as i speak)
5 - missed out on an exciting WET night with the jts, jamie and andrea, by the skin of his teeth

all in all, he was alive, badly bruised, but he made it through. i'm hoping when i get back he and chingoo won't be sitting on a parkside corner in dirty clothes begging for change =)

TGIF!!!!!

2005-02-18T10:24:00.000-05:00

the week is almost over and i am back in great form thanks to my friends tylenol and methocarbamol and the love of an amazing man! thank you baby!!

so i'm making my week long journey to "yo" town filth-adelphia and i have to say i'm looking foward to catching up with my soaps, crocheting and pigging out! one thing is for sure, my hometown can kick out some ridiculously wrong foods that taste oh so right. for those of you who ever happen upon this great city, forget about city hall, the liberty bell and all other important monumental areas and head straight to the most extraordinary historical venue of all -- the intersection of pats and genos steaks. now i'm not blind, so mind you, they look unimpressively ghetto from the outside and epitomize everything that is delectable and wrong in this country for promoting poor health in a nice neat bundled package called a "cheesesteak."

but who really gives a **** when you're shoving a pound of tender, lean, cheese covered, grease filled meat into your stomach?

one thing for sure, i'll be bringing back these deadly treats (which btw have more than a 3 hour shelf life...i know, wrong!!) so if anyone would like to call in an order, pick up the phone and dial i-am-ghetto =)

valentine's day, hooray??? hmmmmm....

2005-02-15T11:53:00.000-05:00

a lesson to all of you approaching the age of 30. stay away from any sort of heavy lifting...

ok, so we left philly with me being a complete invalid. was it the elliptical run with no stretching? or perhaps the 3 hour car ride directly after....ah, no, none of the above...it was the running and holding and choo-choo train game playing with my nephew that landed me in this current world that i call "back pain hell." now, mind you, i don't have any regrets as my rigorous playing was intended to keep my nephew christian from feeling neglected as everyone oohed and ahhed over my new niece. but i must say, it created a great palette for what was to become a hilarious valentine's day celebration.

after arriving at our humble abode, i took a muscle relaxer, some tylenol and passed out. i don't remember anything from that moment until the next morning when i couldn't lift my head and needed the assistance of my hubby to pee. pretty pathetic i must say but has definitely opened my eyes to his unconditional love even more so than i could have ever expected. yes, as i sat there with spasms and flatulence, d took care of business without even a word of frustration. he is the most amazing, incredible person on this earth and i love him to death!

after about 10 hours of heat packs, ice packs and pain killers, we decided to attempt our journey to morton's for his surprise steak dinner celebration. now, this is where your imagination is truly necessary.

the scene:
lisa on muscle relaxers, babbling God knows what to herself and laughing quietly while playing with her steak knife

the waiter forgetting everything from my napkin to our dessert

lisa knocking her wine glass over, then quickly catching it, creating what had to be the best moment in ninja history. i never felt more asian.

dwayne scraping his poor wife off the chair to guide her home for beddy-bye.

my latest and greatest love!

2005-02-15T11:42:00.000-05:00

my niece kayla was born on sunday february 13th, 2005!! she is ridiculously beautiful and the newest love of my life!

we started our trip around 3:30 pm and got up to good old philadelphia around 6:15. we parked and rushed in and then the flood of tears started. i sat there and bawled like a baby while being comforted by everyone in the room..including my sister-in-law who just, by the way, squeezed a watermelon out of her ****

but ah! who cares who comforted who, she's here and i am so in love with her!!! i'm just glad she wasn't born on feb 14th. no niece of mine is going to be robbed of her hallmark holiday rights!! so there you have it, i'm an aunt once again! so if anyone would like to contact me, i'll be in philly for the next several weekends until she's oh say about 9 or 10.

creepy bootie, drugging our dog and much much more...

2005-02-15T08:47:00.000-05:00

OK!

so it all began at 3pm, while preparing for our amazing journey. we showered on a saturday (no, this is not a lie) which was labor in itself for the hoovers, but then dared the impossible....we attempted to put chingoo in her crate. of course we did our song and dance until we finally succumbed to sedating her. yes folks, i said "sedating her." now...if any of you know, she is a very anxious little girl, and trust me, we didn't use any harsh chemicals (no prozac or nyquil even) we used these completely natural over-the-counter treats which came recommended by our trainer. these wonder treats contain the magical turkey amino acid -- tryptophan!! HA! so there we were, luring our little loved one into her crate with a sedative. drastic times call for drastic measures. after all of that craziness, to our dismay the damned treat proved ineffective and she went ballistic, trying to claw her way out of her crate. phooey!

moving along, in my over-exuberance, i asked d to make our reservations for 5:30, thinking that a seven course meal would take seven hours. i realized this might have been a lisa moment because as we walked through the doors at 5:30, we realized we were opening the joint. there we were, standing in this restaurant which reeked of cigarette butts and looked like one too.

ok, now onto the dinner...much to my surprise, the food was very so-so! the hirrisa chicken was exceptionally delicious but the appetizer...well, it left a little something to be desired. it consisted of cold marinated eggplant, cucumbers, beets and carrots which, looked a little suspect, but we pressed on!

slowly the crowd started piling in to see the main attraction. did i say attraction. ummm...yeah, if by that i mean 75 year old spinster shaking her flab and loose skin. it was like watching a shar-pei on a windy day. she creepily did her dance while very intently staring at dwayne with these hungry "i want you little boy and WILL have you before the night is over" eyes. as inviting as the offer seemed and as irresistible as she was we made a b-line for the door.

now, i'm hoping i haven't deterred any one of you from indulging in this experience. if you're dying to try this place out, be sure to give my girl a wink and a nod for me. this is definitely an experience you'll never forget, so if you're going for shock value, it's the place to be!

bellies and booties!!

2005-02-11T07:47:00.000-05:00

for part 1 of this weekend's pre-vday celebration, we'll be experiencing our very first belly-bootie party! i know what you are all thinking and SHAME ON YOU! there will be no gumdrops at this one!! *wink*

we're going to casablancas and i have to say that i couldn't be more excited and thrilled about the idea of eating delicious moroccan food while watching a half naked lady dance very sensually for us at our table!! HA!

we'll let you know how it goes, and as you've all determined, this idea of watching an erotic female shake her bootie was of course mine =) it must have stemmed from hearing about martin and sherine's wedding dance and the fleeing pastor. well whatever brought it on, i'll tell you all about it on monday which i'm sure will come stocked with photos and a food review!

thank you hallmark!

2005-02-10T09:38:00.000-05:00

thank you for creating a day that makes americans smile. it always gives me the opportunity to be super special with my very special friend and that warms the cockles of my heart. i know every person reading this blog today is probably giving both me and hallmark the finger, but i aint mad atcha =)

so d and i have divided valentine's day duties this year. instead of leaving him with the impossible task of creating a new and exciting scheme to woo me (last year it was chinese buffet all the way baby!!!) i have taken over v-day duties! i have made reservations (which does not include sweet and sour pork and wontons) and he's decided to prepare a day of pre-vday celebrating which...as ridiculous as that might sound, d is really quite the sap =) sorry friend! heheheh

anyways, i wish you all the best and most exciting day! i wish i could jump through the computer and give great big hugs!

muah!

smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone!
It takes 26 muscles to smile, and 62 muscles to frown.

Separation Anxiety

2005-02-09T08:55:00.000-05:00

ok i know she's still a puppy, but can you let me walk out of the house without a 15 minute dance around the coffee table? ok just to give you all a little insight, our puppy has a major case of separation anxiety. i'm not talking a few whimpers, sad eyes and a lick. i'm talking full blown ravaging of her crate, sounds of a crazed madwoman (simultaneous barking, whining, screaching and coughing), and jumping which of course leads to head banging. any advice...oh and with that, no tranquilizers...

she looks very placid, right?

well she's a wolf in sheeps clothing or rather, a dog in dog's clothing, no...a crazed lunatic in chingoo's clothing. yeah, that's more appropriate i'd say. so other than taking her to a dog therapist, if any of you have any words of advice for these two battered dog owners, speak now or forever hold your peace.

give a sister her phone yo!

2005-02-08T14:32:00.000-05:00

ok so i've been here in my new place of residency for approximately 7 hours and random people have been popping into my cube to ask why i'm inconveniencing their lives by not having a working telephone in my humble abode. to that i respond "beats the crap out of me." maybe they should really be asking our admin because i'm no phone connecting guru. but it does feel nice to be loved even if it's by my colleagues who are trying to squeeze work...ehem..."favors" out of me =)

ok so for those of you who know me and d and have been inside our whacky little world, you can understand the gruesome pain that we've endured today with our lack of ability to communicate every 5 minutes except by aim. sheesh...if for nothing else, you'd think that they'd hook a sister up so that i can spend 50% of my day talking about nonsensical things with my special friend.

2005-02-08T12:30:00.000-05:00

yeah hoover friends

i can barely contribute to my own blog, let alone this one :)

Hot Blonde in the Hoover Household

2005-02-08T10:55:00.000-05:00

yeah, you heard my correctly. we have a new houseguest and she's a looker. I am definitely keeping a short leash on this one. now if chingoo would stop being such a hussy, we'd all be a lot less speculative of whether or not these two girls are heading down the path to lesbianism.

showing off what your momma gave you

last night chingoo gave the show of her life. she went from spooning to humping all in a matter of seconds and mind you, chingoo is in fact a female. this humping behavior must be something she picked up along the way...hmmm...i meant from the perverted brussels griffon across the street, get your minds out of the gutter you dirty dirty friends!

cube liberation!

2005-02-08T10:40:00.000-05:00

with no offense to my former section mates, i had to make my move into serenity aka - my new cube. with the exception of the hyena and her incessant laughing and daily fish eating man, you were all pretty fantastic. i have to admit however that what i will miss most is the subzero degree weather. it was always nice throwing on the extra scarf AFTER coming in from the outside...but today HAHahahhaHHAhah I'M FREE!!!!!!!!!

OH and before i forget, gotta give a shout out to my girl leina'ala!! you'll be very missed! come by and see me sometime...boo-boo-bee-doo!

Baby Love!

2005-02-07T14:28:00.000-05:00

i want to give a shout out to jechee for fantastic eats and a great superbowl party! i am still stuffed and it's day two. i think it might have been those 4 bowls of chili, several pounds of cheese, salami, pepperoni and little smokies! can't wait til next year =)

altogether, this weekend was exceptionally wonderful as i had the opportunity to see sherine in her full maternity glow! what was more amazing was seeing the little spawn floating around in her belly...and before you get any weird, perverse or deranged ideas, she and martin had a movie made in dvd format...sheesh!

see for yourselves:
The Wrights

or maybe it was watching the big boys turn into drunk little girls as the night wore on...cuz suddenly the pants came on as the women drove their little drunkards home.

Superbowl Blues =(

2005-02-07T13:47:00.000-05:00

so we've only been to the playoffs for three consecutive years in a row, to get to the finals this year and drop the ball. should i be sad or pissed, i can't decide, but i know one thing for sure...the eagles have let me down yet again. but i aint mad atcha. i'll be on board once again next season and maybe this time i'll stay out of the room for every play... =)

Happy Family - New header! Check it out!

2005-02-04T13:36:00.000-05:00

NO we're not choking her...although...JK =)

But seriously

2005-02-04T09:16:00.000-05:00

for all of your dog-owners / lovers out there, i need to know once and for all - is kissing your dog's belly really all that strange? i mean it is afterall a notch above lip licking after she's gone to town on her a**hole, am i wrong? and for all of you who know me, i've been known to do significantly worse, correct? if squeezing my husband's cheeks with my toes in the morning isn't considered the least bit odd, can we not make a rare exception for me?

i have three huge loves in my life...my amazing husband with whom i have been incredibly blessed. he is my life and means everything to me. there is my chingoo who is an absolute trip and brings me incredible joy, and then there is my nephew christian who is my heart and soul. i couldn't fathom having three more perfect beings to spend my life with! take a look for yourself :)

this is my boo...i feel my toes tingling with anticipation:

this was her at 2 months. i know, she's quite brawny:

she's become even more of a titan since this picture...all 15 pounds of her. she's pretty fierce, especially when giving her cheerios, so i would beware because she might just lick you to death:

this is my nephew christian. he has been a blessing to my family in so many ways, i can't even express them on paper and if i did, we might be here all night. i love him and his animated ways to death:

Good morning fellow yellows and nons

2005-02-02T13:48:00.000-05:00

ahnyounghasaeyoh...oh right...we een amedica

i'm embarking on my first blog which is pretty exciting being that i'm in my office, sitting directly across from my ceo...which...i've always wondered how you ppc-ers found the time to write your every so clever entries in many different intervals throughout the day *wink*

on a more important note, i have a very frustrating question that i need answered....why is it that every asian woman in northern virginia has to fit into the bad driving stereotype? as i was driving to work yesterday, a red toyota camry decided to plunge into my lane without even a signal's notice. as i slammed down on my horn she looked at me, only to find herself sharing a lane with half of my car and almost a boob if God has better endowed me. i was completely frazzled, shaking and going into a coronary when i decided to look up, and to my horror, the crazed little asian woman was giving me the finger while chuckling silently to herself. i thought i had seen everything until evil yellow cut me off and slammed on her brakes. now correct me if i'm wrong, but there is crazy and then there is completely insane...in this case i'd say she was a notch above the crazed crackhead who ever so gingerly performed his dance moves to brandon in the middle of southeast.

ok, so where is dane cook when i need a good punchline? or just a punch? thank you little lady because yesterday as dwayne and i were driving on our nightly commute home my nerves were so shot, i screamed aloud when a beige sentra decided to merge into the lane beside us. needless to say, my very loving husband who i'm sure was not at all impressed, comforted me back to the land of the sane.

i love u friend.
