Hella Pregnant

My “gym clothes” should be renamed to “pie delivery uniform”. 

Today I thought I was going to finally climb Mission Peak.
Oh silly me. It just isn’t going to happen.

I'll see you later.

Instead, Jbear and I ran errands; including going to Marie Calendar’s to pick up a pie for Franz’s belated moving out/housewarming party. I have always been a big fan of MC’s strawberry pie. And banana cream pie never disappoints. Did you know they now have a Strawberry Banana Cream Pie!?!? It’s like their two best pies had a delicious hybrid baby so no will ever say no to pie again, ever.

 

hello beautiful creation!

So we rushed around all morning wearing exercise clothes, but did not do any exercise, and ended up back at Jbear’s place with a pie in hand. Last time we went for a walk, we ended up at Safeway and came home with a frozen Claim Jumpers Banana Cream Pie.  Do not let people’s athletic attire fool you into thinking they are actually athletic people.

Franz’s belated lunch, over one year late, did not disappoint. 

There was garlic Filipino spaghetti, safeway garlic bread, bbq pork skewers and chicken (all marinated in garlic sauce), layered jello, pita chips and hummus, pie, cake and lots of drinks. Oh how I ate. I ate so much there was no room to squeeze any pie.

Yes, I was THAT full.

No-room-for-pie-full. This is serious.  And apparently it shows.

After watching last week’s episode of Glee (Hello MC Hammer!) we rushed back to get my car from the auto shop. Once again, my simple oil change turned into the appetizer for more work. The main course turned out to be completely redoing my rear brakes. My brakes have been having problems for the last two years.  
[First my front ones needed the pads changed. Then they were squeaky. Then I got different brake pads. Then I got a 90k checkup and they said I had to change the rear ones. Then it was hard to press. Then it was squeaky again. Then one day it sounded like the wheel from Wheel of Fortune. Someone had put something on upside down?!? Then Wheel of Fortune had a rerun a month later. Something had loosened and it was tightened but still squeaky. This is just my brakes; let’s not even mention when my front bumper got pulled off.] 
Aiya! Haha, my car definitely keeps my life interesting but can be terribly expensive. City people are totally missing out! After 4 different auto repair shops and $500 later I can say they are finally fixed!

I went to Economy Auto. I think the guys running the place are Cantonese. They have been good with the oil changes so I figured I’d let them try fixing my brakes. When the main office guy was charging my credit card, I heard him say something “expecting mother” something. I figured oh he must be making small talk about upcoming Mother’s Day. I told him I was not expecting my mother for Mother’s Day because she lives far away. After we left the office, JBear burst out laughing.

Apparently,

my empire waist shirt + housewarming lunch = me looking hella preggers.
 

Say WHAT!?!?

That's it. I am done with empire waist clothing.
Sigh. I need to stop skipping Mission Peak. At least my brakes are fixed. They push so nicely and no longer produce a shrill chorus line with every stop. Smooth as buttah! I hope it lasts! 

Butter now in stick form? People should just use this as their lipstick so you don't even have to bother putting it on all your food.

Overall Day
Praise God for renewed brakes and yummy food to eat.
Boo for what food does to my tummy.

Oh well, I’m at Starbucks now and it’s time to get some work done!
