Heou heou heou heou HAAOOOUUU

  (Started this like, weeks ago and gradually added to it. Woof.)

  Man, I've been going through a goofy wheel of emotions lately. Mung Bean is so big now. As I rock her to sleep, I just watch her little face dozing off and wonder when the last day will be that I get to rock her to sleep in my arms. She'll either just run into bed on her own because she wants to, or she'll just be too big for me to rock to sleep. And it makes me feel so sad, lol. 

Are my arms tired? yeah. Is it about me? Sort of, but her dad and I are her whole world; so my arms and back and neck and body can stay tired as long as she feels safe and loved snuggled against us. The restless leg syndrome at night is brutal tho, omfg. 

I think... this post is gonna be gushy. Because I've been feeling all kinds of sentimental over every little thing, or maybe I'm just really grateful. I don't know. But I just fucking love my husband.

A few months ago, Mung Bean and I went to go visit him at the office.

It was about time she learned about the world. Of Warcraft.

Daddy gave us a tour. It was so trippy being back on campus after so long.

Wee

Ah, Gorehowl. Making me think back on the Warlords release promo. 
NYC. Art. Fun. Freedom.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

:)
Is that a Zerg Rush frap? 
Why, yes. It is.

Being back at the Starbucks there was weiiird. The promotional posters for drinks were cool. I wonder if art teams were in on it or if the baristas made them. The old art we made and all the figures we broughtin are still there though.

I remember one time when everything was new and people wanted to come visit, we were trying to start up social media accounts, and Starbucks reached out; they had a BF with associating the two brands so we had to delete a bunch of the cool stuff that was only seen on campus. Missed opportunity. There were a lot of cute things we wanted to push, but alas.

Anyway, little bit of Blizzard Sbux lore. I miss the good times we had there... and getting to know everyone that came by. Lotta fun stories. 

We also went to a beach thing with Mr. Chicken's work team. That was fun!

She got to see the Atlantic ocean and the Pacific! Yaaay. But we stayed inside this impromptu camper thing Mr. Chicken got us. He's so thoughtful!

That same week, Lifa gave us a tour at his office!

They need whiskey and cigars

Call me Ms. Wheel III

I'm going to master making a cute Old Fashioned, I don't even care. And I'm gonna massacre it by making it Pumpkin Spice. Stay tuned.

Also, I'm determined to eventually have a medieval/bloodborne aesthetic cigar lounge in our lounge area. It's a girly dream, but with the power of Disney magic and delusion, anything is possible.

Lobotomyyyy

I bring Sesame Seed with me almost everywhere I go and all the others just get neglected. 

Rito has a cool campus, not gonna lie.

They even have their own (extremely inexpensive) drink vending machine. And the cafe was really pretty. The baristas were way more professional than I ever was. That's crazy. I'm sorry to everyone who had to deal with me on a daily basis. 

We took healthy drink shots.

Lotta pretty areas!

I will never play League again, but... if Jhin is ever in Arcane... I'll watch it, probably.

It was fun. The vibe was relaxed, but still kinda sterile. But that's the norm now, I think.

June also brought us a Lifa, many eons ago. 
In celebration, we took him to snack on some Omakase.

Blew his  mind.

Mission complete.

S Tier Homie

Brother

We love you, mayne

We got him One Piece Labubus

ROFL

This was the beginning of a vicious, dangerous road that he head dove right into.
It's great, lol

For his bday party, he went full CLAIR OBSCUR

Called it his Gommage, lmao
He's not going anywhere, but getting older feels like your joints just erase over time. So that's the context I'm adding. 
:)

Hello, Dragon's Milk. We meet again.
You don't scare me anymore!
Ladies were given a rose. YAY GOMMAGE
I don't know why my glasses were fogged up

The turnout was great. We had so much fun.

I love gamers lol

Food, friends, drinks, and fighting games

And a broken monitor :D
They kept playing on it though LOL

No-screen time is going well

Gotta start em early, as they say. lol... this isn't a common occurrence.
Gamers gotta dream big though. 
However, she doesn't seem to find much appeal in what I play :(


Husband got me more Labotomies

It's so sweet.
Do I really like these? Yeah. There's a charm to them. This brings me back to the days when I lived in San Francisco and I'd take my Moncchichi out to clubs and make people take pictures with it.

Was I so annoying? 
Forever and alwayssss
:D

BBQ TIEM YAY

For why?

Idk. The lols, I guess

What else are we gonna do in the end of June? 

Barbecue clams, that's hwut

There was so much random food omg

And some friends from work showed up ^_^
Look at Larn's bicep lol, she's not even flexing it. She's tiny but I'm confident she can deadlift Homdray roooofflll
That's not her name, but that's my name for her :D

Was a good night. Christina surprised me with a Labubu

Turned out to be a Lafufu. 
Look at her, she's beautiful.

She has lore. Her name is Bones Marreoux. Her legs are uneven and she looks like she had to be put back together after being taken apart at a place that takes stuff and reassembles everything badly. 
iykyk.

Someone suggested I stick popsicle sticks in her legs to fix them.

 

SIGH. 

THE WHOLE THING IS 

IT'S JUST.

I CAN'T.

 
GOD

BUT YEAH, THAT'S BONES MARREOUX OK

 

Don't worry, Ms. Marreoux. I gotchu.
Ms. Marreoux is currently nestled in a custom, hand-made wooden coffin, made for Labubus.

Because the other Labubus don't really... you know what, she's just better off in there. And she looks cute. I should take her out somewhere. She's only ever come with me to work. Hmm.

Hi Ophe ^_^

So, a lot of my downtime has been taken over by trips to Disney.

It's good to like, go on walks and get sunlight and stuff for the baby, right?

I've mentioned this before but I feel the most safe doing this at the Disney parks, lol.
Is that entitled? Sure. It's also safer LOL.
So, that's where we go most of the time.
Magic Key Pass going to good use.

:)

Deja vu
This ice cream was so good. I'm bummed they don't have it anymore. It was like... coconut and soy milk and super creamy and not too sweet. So yummy. Mung Bean tried it too, she approved.

Also really like their stinky tofu.
Fujiwara tofu cafe so cyoo.

This is one of two cars Mr. Chicken bought her.
I've no words :)

So many Disney trips.
So many.
Am I tired of it yet?
Well... there's one thing I'll never get tired of seeing:

An empty parking structure
it's Ghat Dang beautiful, ah tell ya hwut

And we got our silhouettes done :D
This was SO cute. I didn't know this was a thing!

By the time we were heading out, Oswald caught us lol. I was wearing my Oswald fan girl outfit and of course Mung Bean is knocked out. He peeped in to say hello before we took a bunch of photos lol
My heart was soaring, it was such a sweet moment T_T

YA'LL CAN'T TELL ME DISNEY IS WHACK WHEN STUFF LIKE THIS HAPPENS, OK

I was so happy I turned around, got myself a margarita and took another stroll before heading home. I think we were there for just a few hours. All we needed.

On a different day, all three of us visited ^^

And we got more silhouettes done, lol
It's pretty simple, and the artists are fast! It's impressive, considering the detail that's put into these pieces. You sit and they cut out your profile, but like, in negative. It's so cool.
The frame is extra

Worth every penny, I don't even care LOL

Also thank you Lifa and Homdray

the absolute lols

I always heard about how people lose friends once they become parents.
That hasn't happened with us, and it just... yeah.

Be picky. You don't need a billion friends or to be liked by tons of people. I promise. 
Unless like, it's a job. Which is different. And also really gross and sad if you think about it.

Anyway. Our friends are biblically wonderful. 

My lip stain matches my rosacea :D

On another Disney trip:

Oswald again! But she fell asleep again!
Aw maaaaan!

Also, I realized that I needed to get a silhouette for Ophelia. So I did.
All that's needed is a profile photo for the artist to reference.
It's so cute. So now Mung Bean and Ophelia have their framed Disney silhouettes in the nursery ^_^

I'M THAT PERSON. THAT MOM. THAT DISNEY ADULT. WHATEVER. 
I'm cringe. I love it.

Gaston and I had a quick chat. 
He remembered me on another day, it was kind of mind blowing and trippy
But ngl, made me feel special T_T

So around this time, EVO was just around the corner. And since this year, I wasn't preggo anymore, I could cosplay my favorite FG character again! Without the tummy. But with something cooler.

And off to Vegas we went

EVO was so much fun this year. We had so many small but wholesome moments. I can't wait to write about it all. That will have to wait for another post.

It's been several months. Frankly, my downtime is... either Disney trips or trying to get in an hour or so of Clair Obscur, if that. A lot of things have been put on pause, but it's been good. I'm not as much of a cave troll these days, thanks to the bean. 
Mr. Chicken got me Hades II and I've been able to at least see what's his face. I like it a lot. Just as much as the first one. The only thing that's weird is the Chaos redesign. Lolwut.

Anywho, I bought Twilight to read lmao. TIS THE SEASON. I'm gonna annotate it like crazy. I can't stop referencing and quoting the movie at work, it's destroying my relationships. When someone asks me to look at something, I tell them it's anaphase. It's horrible. I need help. SO I'M READING IT :D
Hopefully with Cris and Laaaaarrrrnn. :3
Anywaaaay, k time for sleeps. Big day tomorrow in the Land of the Weebs. Trinkets await.

A thousand times good night ^_^
