Today I feel: Good. Although, right now I am tipsy. I had a couple glasses of wine with dinner.
Today I did: Attend the completion ceremony and BBQ for the Sophia engineering Summer English program at SCU. I was a bit shocked to find that the very quiet Miru is actually rather good at English. She gave a short speech during the ceremony–which is the most I’ve ever heard her speak. Then we went to the Tech Museum. I got to ride a Segway! Finally, we came home to Keith making a lovely fondue dinner: cheese, then chocolate. Yum.
TV I’m watching: I saw no TV today, not even Project Runway! I’ll have to catch up tomorrow. Thank heavens for TiVo.
What I’m looking forward to: The completion of the new Morton’s of Chicago that’s going up next to the Tech Museum. Yum!
Current pet peeve: The amount of driving I’ll have to do tomorrow shuttling people around.

Today I feel: Tired. Still coughing, and I stayed up late last night.
Today I did: Lunch with Shiaw-Ling! Yay! Took the girls to Apple for a tour, and shopping for gifts for Miru to take home. I met a good acquaintance from the SCU Costume Shop at Trader Joe’s! I really like her.
TV I’m watching: I haven’t seen much continuous TV in the last couple of days. We watched some “Dirty Jobs” when I got home. It’s a great series, although not for the squeamish. I really appreciate the people who make my life easier/cleaner.
What I’m looking forward to: Sightseeing with Arisa’s Mother and friend.
Current pet peeve: Not getting the opportunity to finish off leftovers, so I can clean out the fridge.

Today I feel: Not as crappy. Still coughing a lot though, sometimes really hard.
Today I did: Not a lot. Read some homework. Received a pile of lovely gifts from the Arisa and Miru.
TV I’m watching: Keith Explains!, so Miru and Arisa could see what sorts of trouble Keith is up to in his free time. Nothing else, though.
What I’m looking forward to: Hot muffins for breakfast tomorrow! Keith is the best boyfriend. Seriously.
Current pet peeve: Coughing so hard I throw up. Ugh.

Today I feel: Kinda crappy. This coughing is wearing me out! Plus we just watched a movie with some funny parts. Laughing is not good for me right now…
Today I did: Sightseeing with Keith and our Japanese exchange students. We saw the Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods, and the Charles Schulz Museum. It was pretty cool, and we were fairly lucky with parking.
TV I’m watching: Mostly What’s Up Wit’ That? Still not done logging. But over dinner we watched the 2nd half of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Some parts were very funny.
What I’m looking forward to: Sleeping. And being done with the WAVE entries.
Current pet peeve: Both my feet and my butt hurt from the day’s activities.

Today I feel: Kinda crappy. I came down with bronchitis last weekend, and the hacking continues.
We have: 2 cute Japanese exchange students. Today we took the girls to the Hayward Fault exhibit in Fremont and the Rosicrucian Museum.
TV I’m watching: What’s Up Wit’ That? I need to log footage so we can apply for regional awards.
What I’m looking forward to: Sleeping. And the upcoming KeyPoint offsite to Coronado Island.
Current pet peeve: Having coughed so hard that I strained a muscle in my tongue. Hmph.
