“Trick or Treaters” Cedar Park, 2019

How was your Halloween? Ours was pretty chill and chilly, with the temperatures in the 40s by the time the sun was going down. I think that led to there being less trick-or-treaters than normal. Still, we had quite a few come by and I spent the evening handing out candy and working on my Inktober project. We haven’t decorated for Halloween in a few years, but our neighbors go all-out, so we get to enjoy the spirit of the holiday all month-long. It’s fun!

こんばんは。How’s it going?

Today the work group I am part of went out for a little fun and relaxation. It involved plenty of bowling, some drinks, appetizers, and plenty of laughter. We all had a good time! I’m really fortunate to have such fun workmates.

Then when we were leaving, a few of us decided to get shakes at Shake Shack for the drive home. It was actually my first time to visit Shake Shack, so not only did I get a “Black and White” shake, but I had to try a cheeseburger and fries. The meal was pretty tasty, but quite expensive… the total was $15. I’m not sure I’ll be back, but I finally can remove Shake Shack from my bucket list.

I hope you had a nice day!

Birthday Brunch at the Queen Mary

こんにちは! My family loves to eat! So, for my mom’s birthday, our original plan was to take her to brunch at the Queen Mary, but we started the birthday weekend a day early with the barbecue. However, we still wanted to treat her to a nice brunch so all loaded ourselves up in the minivan and headed to Long Beach for the Queen Mary Royal Brunch.

We started off with coffee and mimosas, then dug into the extensive spread which ranged from tradition breakfast items, to sushi, seafood, Mexican food, barbecue, prime rib, salads, crepes, ice cream and sweets. I had my fill of oysters on the half shell (just ok), crab legs, sushi, eggs benedict, prime rib, and even tried the “Texas Brisket” which was surprisingly good!

There was even a live band and they wished my mom happy birthday twice. The first time, my brother told them it was Linnette’s birthday, but they said “Rosette”. My dad and I (we were at the buffet and didn’t realize the mistaken name) told the band that there’s another birthday girl, whose name is Lee (my mom’s nickname). So she got to hear two versions of Happy Birthday, just for her. 😆

I hope you had a great day!
