Welcome to Clarisse's realm. It's not work. It's not home. It's that comforting space between, where I gather my thoughts; and connect with fellow beings who treat each moment as a gift, and are grateful for life.
Meet me here for coffee, hot chocolate, a piña colada or a glass of wine.

...my Mondays if nothing hilarious is happening, at least to me! Hey, I'm not complaining!!! It's just something funny and I still can't get over the fact that I didn't hear the clock radio blasting a hiphop song out so loud on my scheduled alarm of 6:55am. I opened my eyes at...guess what...7:29 am and the clock radio was still singing. I swear didn't hit snooze, I didn't dilly-dally nor procastinate. I just didn't hear it. How on earth did it happen? Anyway, the amusing part is, I usually leave at 7:30am to make it to work. And I still made it. I was just behind by 2 minutes. Now, how on earth was I able to do that???
I promised myself I'll never ever get traffic violations anymore. I didn't today, so it's all good. I am still puzzled though because I was plucked out of delta sleep at 7:29 am. We slept at 12ish which is our typical shut-eye time.
I think the weekend had been a little tiring. Just some trade-offs for a little fun that we had. Saturday, hubby and I had a little cute date in the city. We always enjoy doing that, just walking around, watching people, drinking our coffee, hanging at our favorite spots, shopping/window-shopping. We dined at Buca di Beppo over a generous plate of carbonara and a treat of Limoncello (that was awesome!). Sunday, we woke up late for the 7:30 am mass *hmm, I see a pattern here* so we had breakfast at McDonald's first, shopped for some house supplies at Big Lots and went to church at 10:30a instead. Then we caught up with chores at home and got the kitchen going for a simple dinner with my sister and her hubby, and my cousin and her family. That was awesome too. I made my dad's family recipe of homemade mayonnaise, bought some fried fish at the Asian Store, and hubby made a mean, and rather deadly, pork dish with our NuWave Oven. It was funny watching him show-off his new toy. He's really proud of it although he regrets having bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond. His friends ordered it online, so theirs came with a dome extender and a demo cd and some other freebies. I knew we should have ordered it online, I could have gotten a Slap Chop for free. Or that amazing ShamWow -- that can be used as a flood control system LOL, or the Titan Peeler, that isn't called Titan for nothing. I'm a sucker for those! Hahaha.
Anyhoo, hubby's next dream domestic machine is a Panini Maker. It's even in his 40th birthday wish list. Anyway, if we end up getting one, I'll make sure we won't be too tired using and showing it off on a Sunday night.
I don't want to pull off another 7:29 stunt.
